Railroad Flood Losses.

The heaviest sufferer by the Kansas
floods WAS the Missouri Pacific. Its net
earnings for the first week in June
amounted to e45i.OO0. loss OF sl3O 600.
but considering the extent OF the floods.
railroad men do not consider this ex
tremeiy severe. For the eame week the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas reports a
loss in earnings OF s69 3l3. 1t is expected
that the Union Pacific. Burlington. Rock

losses for they caught it pretty severed,
in the floods. They had to pay Isrg.

STILL GROWING.
Many thousand Acres viii Yet be
Signed For.

There is now about $1,000 shares OF
the Uncompahgre Water Users stock
signed for under the Gunnison tunnel.
None OF the Loan companies have a
yet subscribed and there are something
like 5000 acres of these lands held by
loan companies. many Of whom have
already through agents and attorneys
declared they would sign when the
necessary red tape OF loan company's
business could be handled. II 10 thought
certain that 10000 acres at least OF these
loan company landr will be on the list
soon. This with what has already been
subscribed will bring the amount close
to 10000. shares.
By the time these lands have been
entered among the signers enough is
almost sure to be subscribed from land
owners to cover the full $1,000 shares
and il this 10 done the tunnel and canals
will be built in accordance with the
highest estimates Of the governmen,
survey. There is no doubt but what il
will be reached 10 very short time nov
and this will insure the building OF the
tunnel to its largest capacity.

The doctor gave one OF them good

Both Of them were arrested and put
in the jail at Hotchkiss, but as DR..
Whiting refused to prosecute them they
were afterwards given their liberty.
There is very little doubt OF the gull

WATER! WATER!!
Both the Town and Private Parties
After Mountain Water.

Since private parties have agitated the
matter ard have proposed to put in tic
pure, sparkling mountain water for the
same price TO consumers as they are
paying. petition is being circulated
asking the city council to order an eiec =
tion to vote bonds for the city to build
it's own waterworks.
Municipal ownership is preferable, as
matter OF course-it is only question
OF whether or not the people want to
issue the bonds and thus create big
Indebtedness.
1t is claimed that action would have
been taken long since to procure water
from this same source had il not have
been that there is come question as to
whether or not sufficient water could be
secured therefrom. The same conditions
OF course exist now.
II those who have offered to build
waterworks for the city did not think
that there was something in it for them
they would cot desire the franchise. On
the other hand il they were not able to
meet the demands Of the water supply
in the years to come they would be up
against It themselves and the town
would not be out anything on the ex-
periment-for that is what it must be-
until it has been fully decided that the
supply of water from this source is sufi
cient to meet all future demands.
An election has been called already to
decide as to whethe, franchise will be
granted to private parties and it is now
proposed, at the same time and place. to
submit to the taxpayers Of the city the
question OF municipal ow nership and the
issuing Of bonds
Estimates have been made all the way
from $4,000 TO $4,000 to construct the
plant.
The water question is certainly vital
one and the taxpayers OF Delta will have
the choice OF the two propositions.
They can either build it themselves or
let some one else do it or reject both and
continue to drink the Gunnisou water
which is growing worse from year &c
year.
