two members of the travelling library
board. One was Mrs. A. NJ. Welles,

take the place of Mrs. Mary Bradford
The governor also gave the women a
room in the state Eouse.
Reports are being received in the
state engineers office concerning the
condition of the South Platte and the
Arkansas rivers. 1t is said that both
are high for the season Of the year
and that there seems to beSno danger
Of scarcity Of water. The irrigation
conditions are reported better than
they were last year.
The shipment of pigeons and poul-
try into Denver from long distances.
without water and food, and cramped
and crowded in close quarters, must
stop at once. Such is the determine
ton of the State Humane Society.
whose attention has been called to sew
eral recent fragrant cases of extreme
cruelty.
The annual report of the federal
land Office at Denver has been turned
over to the federal district attorney
for approval The report compares
very closely with those of previous
years. The total amount of business
done was s9S,351 for the year closing
June goth. There were 129 desert
land entries, timber and stone ia,
and 254 mineral applications.
Every day during the open season
there are filed in the office of the state
engineer water rights and ditch
plats that show that large
amount of ditch building is in
progress throughout the state. Many
of these are too small in themselves
TO deserve mention, but in the aggre-
gate they go to show the speed with
which lands of the state are being
brought under irrigation and the pro-
ductive area of the state in an agri-
cultural way is being increased.
A schedule is being arranged by the
secretary of state, of the offices of
which incumbents will be elected at
the coming fall election. Besides the
offices to be filled there will be two
constitutional amendments voted on.
There will be no election for district
judges. There will be an election of
five presidential electors besides the
state and county officers. The first
constitutional amendment is to sec
tiDns five to eight of article six, provid-
ing for the consolidation of the State
Supreme Court and the Court of APP
peals and the bill providing for the
exemption from taxation of all personal
property to the value of 5000.
Charles w. Prince has been appoint
ed commissioner of Archuleta county
by Governor Peabody. He is to fill
the vacancy in the county board
caused by the discovery that f. NJ.
Briggs. who was elected to the Office.
was not resident of the county and
so could not serve. Briggs lives in
Edith. town supposed to be on the
county line, which is also the line be-
tween the state of Colorado and the
territory CT New Mexico. A recent
resurvey of the boundry made by the
United States engineers showed the
residence of Briggs to be in New MeXi-
co and he was therefore incompetent
to serve as commissioner of Archu-
leta county, Colorado. Price. the new
appOintee. is resident of Pagosa
Springs, and was highly recommended
to the governor.

We expected wedding in Happy
Bottom today. We saw young man
and young lady go past my house to
near neighbours and stop for the
preacher. The preacher walked about
six miles and wasn't there by a mile
and a half. and stopped and didn't
come any further and the young
couple sent someone to see what was
wrong, and when they found him he
was stalled, and what do you suppose
stalled hims He had on new coat,
and it was one of those ngtailed
preachers coats. and it had him just
about tagged out. So guess he made
it back home. Then the young man
that wanted to marry hoped on a
mule and lit out on the hunt for some
one else to tie the knot. At o'clock
the poor girl was still waiting the arri-
val of her intended husband, and the
cake and chicken was ate before the
squire came, who proved to be the
