COLORADO POWER
COMPANY FORMED

Denver, June 22.-The first step in u
project TO utilize the Shoshone falls as
means OF supplying almost unlimited
electric power, was taken yesterday,
when the Colorado Power and Irriga-
ton Company filed articles of incorpo-
ration in the Office of the secretary of
state. The company is capitalized at
s5 .00o, 900.
The company expects to derive its
power from Shoshone falls, nine miles
east of Glenwood Springs on the Dem
yer q Rio Grande railroad. The falls
at the present time show minimum
force OF 10000 horsepower and by q
system OF storage reservoirs the COM
pany expects TO secure 10000 horse
power. When this time arrives, power
from the plant will be transmitted to
Denver.
The company intends to begin work
soon on a plant which will furnish
10000 horsepower. 1t is estimated that
two years Will be required to complete
1t and ii will, when finished cost ST.
100000. To provide for pressing de-
mands at preser' the company will at
once erect an auxiliary plant to fur
nish 6.000 horsepower. This will be
completed within nine months. and will
cost about S750.O00. The cost of future
installations will not exceed 500 for
each horsepower put in operation.
The company expects to furnish
Leadville and other mining fields along
the range with power which will cost
fifty per cent. less than at present. This
will enable mining men to greatly in
crease their operations.
Power furnished in the Grand valley
will. according to the prospectus. open
thousands of acres OF arid lands which
may be irrigated by pumps worked by
electricity.
Albert Sherwin OF Leadvllle is pres
ident of the company and Il. e. Lucas

FILINGS ALLOWED
IN GORE CANON

Denver, June 2c.-According to a
dispatch received yesterday by the New
Century Power and Light Company.
the general land office at Washington
has allowed the filings OF the company
in Gore canon in Grand county. The
Moffat road and the New Century COM
pany have been fighting for the pos
session OF this canon for some time.
These filings, approved by the gem
eral land office. call for tunnel In the
canon which Is TO take the water from
the canon after the great dam has
been bui.t from wall to wall to hold
the water. II is thought that these ap-
proved filings OF the New Century
company will not interfere with the
Moffat road running through the canon
however, as their filings will also prob
ably be approved. since there are no
others before the general land Office
asking for right OF way for rail-
road.
The New Century company has al
ready the right TO build Its dam. and.
according TO the recent approval for
the tunnel. they can now proceed with
their plans, but to stop them the Moffat
company has bought school lands near

JUDGE LINDSEY
TELLS ABOUT BOYS

Denver. June 22.-Yesterday was
the last day OF the convention OF the
state Epworth League, which began
on Tuesday, June 18th. Despite the
all-night session on Larimer street
Saturday night, the delegates were up
and working early yesterday morning
The morning was almost entirely Civ
en- over to work at the county jail,
where meetings were conducted by
Happy Harry" Ottinger OF Colorado
Springs, who conducted the meeting
on Larimer street Saturday night. At
1920 In the morning the convention
sermon, "Our Country and Our Duties
Thereto" was delivered by Bishop
Henry W. Warren.
Judge Lindsey, who addressed both
sessions of the convention yesterday
afternoon, arraigned the methods OF
treating Juvenile offenders in vogue
in the police departments of the coun-
try He said the first thing boy Is
impressed with when he falls into the
clutches of the police is fear. and that
under its influence he win lie and
probably be accused OF doing things
he has never done. with the result
that when he Is freed he is filled with
a feeling of resentment which leads
him to go back and do over again the
things for which he has been arrested.
Boys lie almost constantly in or
der to get out of scrapes." said Judge
Lindsey, land they stick to their fab
relations, but on that account I do
not count them either liars or per-
jurers. Fear is what makes n boy
lie. Self preservation is the first law
of nature. Danish fear from the heart
of boy and you have him where you
want him"
Judge Lindsey then went on to give
the history of the worst case which
had ever come under his observation.
which was that of young man with
in two. months of the age when he
would be out of the Jurisdiction OF the
juvenile court This fellow was a
skilled burglar. had been in jail eight
times, but never in the juvenile court.
and had made his escape twice. once
by means OF skylight and the other
time through sewer.
The Judge said he got hold of this
boy and talked to him for two hours.
and finally decided not TO send him
to the reformatory. though he said
he was visited by delegation from
police headquarters who pointed out
to him the error of his way in letting
the boy CO. The judge. however. had
his way, and said that the young man
had ever since led sober and honest
life.
