enjoyed by a number Of young folks.
Songs were followed by pantomins we'd

were rendered. This was followed by the

exciting. the boys bidding agains, each

KANSAS.C0L0RAD0
WATER SUIT.
The Governments Inauguration Of
Irrigation Enterprises Fatal to
Kansas Claims.

While the suit instituted by Kansas to
test the right Of the people Of Colorado to
divert ;"ster for the purpose Of irrigation
from the Arkansas river within the limits
Of this state is dragging itself along
through the supreme court OF the United
States. it has. in large measure. been
shorn OF its terrors for our people.
The more the facts involved in the suit
are looked into the more probable II seems
to be that Kansas will fail when It comes
to the evidence that will be introduced.
It will be next to impossible for II To show
that il has been damaged in any particu-
lar by the diversion OF water in this state
and unless Il shows that il will have no
ground OF action.
The whole work in which the national
government is now engaged for the reela-
nation OF arid lands proceeds upon the
supposition that water may legally be di-
yerted. and hence the action Of Kansas In
bringing this suit was IN direct conflict
with policy which has received the ap-
proval OF the national government through
an act Of congress.
Our people should make every effort &c
prepare for tho defense against this ae-
ton. bu, they should no, let fear Of the
result disturb their slumoers. Public sen
,imen, In southwestern Kansas is against
tho suit. and there will DO little assistance

Returning from Denver Wednesday
evening We had as seat companion 7.
]. Doxnen 81 Pueblo. who WAS enfoa,s
home from visit TO Boulder. ono OF his
regular trips as q member Of tho board
Of control Of tho Industrial School for
boys. During tho ride Mr.. po~non told
a number Of interesting facts relatives To
tho early history Of tho Rocky Ford eoan-
,-y. In 1879 no purchased 900 acres OF
wha, has been known as tho Bingham
ranch. This no improved BY fencing ard
building portion Of tho present dwelling
This was before tho days Of barbed wire
and tho fence was made by boring holes
In tho posts and running smooth wire
through. Some Of this fence is 10; on the
Sugar compsny's land. doing good ser
siee after 80 years use.
In those days an occasional buffalo WAS
seen near Rocky Ford ard tho herds o.
antelope were very large. Mr.. po~nsn
remembers ono winter ~hen number Of
antelope crossed tho river on tho ies ard
occupied tho pasture with hts cattle. ~
abou, tho same ;ine hunter killed sis
antelope and hung ,hefn up on Mr.. Dow
mems barn for dressing. A!,sf~afd he
ean.sred Mr.. po~nen 10 buy the 10; and.
az he offered them al IS cents each. a
trade was soon made. Hence tho Dow
non household had antelope in all i:s var
led forms. both fresh and dried. for many
weeks.
Occasionally rowing bands Of indians
would mako raid and Kill tho cattle Of
tho settlers. Mr.. pownen remembers ore
Of tho seares whsn he was called TO be
the protector o. three lona and unpfo-
;ae;ad women. who were on the Todd
ranch south Of Dyes lase-Miss Lizzie
Danaing. now Mrs. Vim. Matthews. Mrs.
WIN. Todd and Mrs. Pussy.
In those days a ffon;ief hospitality pre-
vailed which is unknown a; The present.
Wren ono Of tho pioneers killed a beef the
netshbots ~ste given portion and no bill
rendered. Our readers will remember an
Enterprise item Of a few months ago re-
ls,ing TO a bear which was killed in The
Rocky Ford ditch By n. w. Potter. the
facts being furnished by Vim. Matthews
in connection with tho transfer Of The
bears skull TO the school house museum.
Mr.. Do~nen's remembrance Of The killing
Of this bear was especially fixed by The
fac. ,ha. J. w. Potter made trip TO his
ranch tor the sole purpose Of bringing him
a portion Of The bear steak.
In those days the only land in o;sfo
county which was considered Of any value
was the river bottom. Every settler tried
10 secure as much Of this and as extern
sive a river frontage as possible. sf.

Bertha Galland and Company
An Organization of Singular Strength
and Unity


The Bertha GaIland Company viii
hold the boards at the Columbia Theater
for four weeks commencing Monday
evening. May II. AS announced, the
opening bill will be Richard Brinsley
Sheridan's famous comedy. The School
for Scandal" The first appearance of
the GaIland/ Company is to be an event
of much importance and one which from
point of interest and excellence o.
artists engaged has rarely been equaled
in a spring engagement by any local
manager. Several parties will come
down from New York especially for
this occasion. and among them are
numbers persons of wealth and social
position in the metropolis Indeed, the
coming attraction at the Columbia is
creating as much talk in New York
as it is here.
The members Of the CaIIand Company
are all actors and actresses OF note.
The smallest parts are to be played by
professionals Of reputation. Miss Gal
land is a young woman of rare judg-
ment regarding the selection Of her sup
port. She insists upon being surround
ed by artists. and believes that one Of
the greatest essentials 10 an enjovab bic
performance is a weIl-balanced organ
ization.
Miss CaIIand has achieved success
very early in her career She is TWEEN
ty-three years Of age. and has been Oh
the stage only four seasons. She made
her start at the head OF her own com
Pany in starring tour in a repertoire of
scenes from classic plays. II was Gus
tomary for her to appear as Juliet Lady
Macbeth, Lady TeazIe and Ophelia in
one evening. She made everywhere an ex-
cellent Impression. and was heTalded as
the successor TO Mary Anderson. Her
artistic reputation in this short venture
reached the ears of New York managers
and she was engaged as leading woman
for James X Hackett in The Pride of
Jennico." The papers the morning fol-
lowing her first appearance were full of
bextravagant admiration of the charm
ing young actress. Shortly after she
signed with Daniel Frohman to star the
next year. She made her New York
appearance as a star at the head of a
company OF excellent players under
MIR. Frohman's management as IsouIt
in The Forest Lovers" and has
been accredited with creating one of
the most beautiful characters OF recent
years. During the present season. Miss

greatest successes of the season. The
play was produced simultaneously in
London a the Shaftesbury Theater and
in New York at the Criterion Theater
It's first performance in New York
stamped its success. The critics hailed
il as the most artistic production OF the
season. and the public was as quick to
see its merits. 1t has been playing 10
crowded houses for several months.
Not a little Of the sensation made by
the play has been due TO the appearance
in the principal part of Mile James. q

gained more prominence than was at
tached to the excellent work she did in
small part in Lovers Lane Miss
James is in her twenties. but plays the
part OF little girl OF twelve. and does
not fail in the slightest particular to
make the illusion convincing
