An Excellent Movement.

The Fremont Mining and Develop.
ment Company, composed of Florence,
Pueblo. Denver aud Lake City parties
will endeaver to solve the water qucs-
tion for large portion OF the prairie
lands OF the Arkansas wa Hey by the
creation of big reservoir for irriga.
ting purposes up in the mountains,
some five miles west OF Victor.
The water will be brought down in
the natural mountain channels and
canals will carry it over the mesa
north of Florence. This immense
reservoir is intended to catch and store
the food waters of the mountains and
will be fed from territory extending
ten miles back from the draw.
The government right Of way has
been secured and work on tho project
will begin sometime in June. The
company promises that before the end
Of two years they wilt have suffi-
cient quantity Of water to irrigate
thousands Of acres OF now arid lands
lying north Of the Arkansas river be.
tween Canon City and Pueblo. Tho
capacity Of tho proposed reservoir has
been computed at a.4oo. 200. 900 gal.

of such liquors ON the Sabbath.
This promise. as is well known, has
been tiagrantly violated and broken.
We arraign the Taxpayers par
ty as party that has failed in all
Its promises to the people made
two years ago, save and except
the promise relative to the sewer.
For this we give them all due
credit. When we look at our
dirty water. our miserable side
and cross walks. our filthy alleys
and streets. all of which they
promised to improve, we say again
they are unworthy of the conf
dence and the votes of the citizens
of this city.
We favor the improvement of
our water system as well as
the quality of the water and we
don't make this promise as mere
idle catch phrase to secure votes
for our ticket as was done by the
Taxpayers party at the election
two years ago. but we make it as a
promise and pledge to be kept
and performed; and We pledge the
nominees of this convention. that
If they are elected that we will
bring about such changes as will
give to our city better water and
if possible at a cheaper rate.
Believing that the frAnchises d
city are its most valuable assets,
we therefore pledge our candidates
to the protection of the city against
franchise grabbers and the frit-
tering away of the public property.
We favor the strict enforcement
of all ordinances at present on the
statute books or to be hereafter
enacted and especially do we pledge
ourselves to the enforcement OF
the laws relative to the saloons aud
the adjustment of the wine rooms
gambling dens. brothels and all
kindred vices.
We favor the eight hour system
and believe that eight hours
should constitute days work on
all public works of the city and
pledge our candidates to that end.
We invite all who believe in law
and order and the building up of
this beautiful city along these
lines to affiliate with US and help
us to elect our ticket.

from exorbitant taxation where
ever the same can be done without
interfering with the needed i'm

As We contemplate the mud
which flows from our hydrants we
are forcibly reminded of the

it is only necessary to mention
this for the public to know that

the party that made it is unworthy

two years ago the rigid enforce

came into power the liquor license

They said they would reduce the
rate of interest which the city is
paying 2 to 3 per cent and this
promise they failed to keep.
