Will Settle their Controversy
In Court.

At a meeting of the water users un-
der the Petersen canal, held Tuesday
afternoon in the office OF the county
judge, it was decided to begin pro-
ceedings in court at once to have the
differences between the people and the
canal company adjusted. This decis-
ion was reached after the report of the
committee appointed February 23rd
for the purpose Of securing legal ad-
vice had been received. This COM
mittee was composed of j. A. Dawson
and w. E. Coumbe and the report sub
mittcd by them was to the effect that
an action at law would lie against the
company because Of alleged excessive
assessments and irregular manage
ment of the corporation.
Messers Coumbe and Dawson had
consulted Allen g. Webster, and j.
Warner Mills, attorneys, and T. G.
Henry, irrigation expert, all Of Denver
They had secured written opinion
upon the status OF the case from Allen
& Webster, and this opinion was read
at the meeting Tuesday. The report
Of the committee was adopted, and
money was subscribed to defray the
expenses of law suit.
The first action taken in the case
will be to ask the district court to ap-
point receiver to manage the canal
companys property during the pend
ancy OF the suit. Should the effort to
have receiver appointed fail, the
court will then be asked to order the
canal company to furnish water to all
the owners OF water rights until the
differences between the two parties
can be properly presented in court and
decision rendered.
The town of Julesburg will probably
join with the people in the action
against the canal company, W. II.
Pound, town attorney, having secured
the assistance of Allen & Webster.
Whatever the outcome OF the law
suit may be it can not fail to result in
good to the entire community. 1t will
clarity the atmosphere and will show
all parties "where they are at" Fol-
several years serious differences be-
tween the people and the canal com.
pany have existed, and these differ
ences have caused a condition which
has been detrimental to the commun-
ity and to all the people in it. AS it
has been impossible so far to settle
these differences out Of court, the on
ly mode of procedure is to have them
adjusted in the courts.

This week has practically closed the
Work OF soliciting acreage for the
growing of Cantaloupes in northern
Colorado. Paul A. Gregory and A. +.
Marsh have been actively in the fled
for more than month past, present
ing the subject to the farmers, and the
result has been far beyond cXpecta-
tion. 1t was thought that possibly
five hundred acres might be secured
for the first year, which necessarily
would be more or less an experiment.
So well satisfied were the farmers,
however: that the conditions of soil
and climate were exactly right for the
production of perfect melons, that the
acreage has boen largely increased, tie
area to be planted to be Slightly in
excess of fifteen hundred acres. This
will give magnificent demonstration
OF the industry, under the varying
conditions of wide scope of country.
and will enable each locality to deter
mine the feasibility of the crop. At
an average value OF 500 per acre,
which is low net valuation, the north
ern Colorado melon fields should this
year return not less than Sl5O,OOO IN
clear profit to the fortunate growers.
Should the crop prove success, as it
no doubt will, the acreage next year
will be increased very largely, and
many new associations formed. d.-Greel-

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

Catarrh is a blood or constitu-

cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, land acts directly
