BIGGEST IN YEARS
Irrigation Deal Made by D. M.
Camfield Saturday.

The big reservoir deal between d.
NJ. Camtield of this city and the
farmers in the vicinity of Julesburg
was completed last Saturday when
the farmers voted to issue bonds to
the amount of $3.50, 600 for the pur-
chase Of the Jumbo reservoir and
the Loveland-Peterson and Settlers
bitches, all the property of Mr.. Cam
field.
By the vote a new irrigation dis
trict was created, to be known as the
Julesburg Irrigation district.
The Jumbo reservoir will, when
completed, be one of the largest in
the state. with capacity of /, ,2OO,
600, 600 cubic feet of water. BY his
contract with the farmers Mr.. Cam
field is to complete this reservoir,
which will call for the moving of
1000, 900 yards of earth. The work
will be in charge of L. L. Stimson of
this city and it will be commenced
some time in October.
The contract also calls for the con-
struction of about forty miles of ditch.

side of the Platte river, from which
it will draw its supply of water. 1t

WORKS FOR THE BOYS
Judge Ben B. Lindsey's New
Book Out.

If there is one man on this earth
who deserves only the thanks and
good wishes of his fellow men and Il
crown in the Great Beyond for the
good he has done here below. that
man is Ben b. Lindsey. the friend of
all boys. of the juvenile court OF Den
yer. Mr.. Lindsey begins at the
right end to reform things: the be-
ginning-the youngsters themselves.
The value to mankind of the work
Mr.. Lindsey is doing is beyond all
estimate: directly in the number of
wayward youngsters that he is train
ing into good boys and men, and
indirectly in the interest that he is
awakening in the subject among
thinking men and women all over the
world. If one half the care and
thought were given to breeding chill
dren that is given to the breeding of
fine stock the world would see the
millennium in full swing in half Il
century. Judge Lindsey's plan Of
caring lOf lile SCRUB young OIL DOJn
sexes if universally adopted will
bring the millennium some day, If not
so soon.
A most interesting volume by
Lindsey has reached The Tribune,
entitled The Problem of the Chill
dren and How the State of Colorado
Cares for Them a book that no
review can do justice, it. is worth
many times the nominal price of 25
cents that is asked to aid in paying
its cost. 1t may be had of the
Juvenile Court at Denver.
Judge Lindsey's juvenile court has
been self sustaining and turned in
80, 900 cash in excess of its needs in
three years. It's wonderful record.

CATTLE MEN

complaining lOlOrdQO cduulemen
completed their case against the rail-
ways before Insterstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty in Denver Fri
day and the hearing was adjourned
until some time in November, when
it will be resumed at Chicago to take
testimony Of the defendant roads.
For convenience the hearing has been
consolidated with that of the Texas
cattle growers, which will also be
presented by Attorney S. ii. Cowan,
who has represented the complainants
at the present hearing.
Conrad Schafer, president of the
Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers
association, testified Thursday after
noon that railroad freights were much
too high to leave the cattle men
profit. Answering the claim that
the railways did not make much
money from cattle traffic because of
increases in operating expenses, he
said:
''If | do business with another
man and he continues to seek my
business ana shows that he is anxious
to get it, i know that he is making
a profit out of my patronage. They

who have made nothing.
Attorney Baxter for the railways
asked if it was not true then that
cattle could be shipped at profit.
Mr.. Schafer replied that some
growers made small profit and many
did not. OF course. conditions could
be worse-the railways might take
away this small profit still left few
growers.
A. Z. De Ricqles, president of the
American Live Stock and Loan COM
pany. showed by the freight tariffs
that the rates from Denver to the
Missouri river markets had been in
creased from S71 a car to 800. The
service had grown worse with the
added cost. Where the Burlington
formerly carried cattle from Denver
to Kansas City, arriving in time for
the second days market, under the
schedule of the past year three days
were required necessitating unload
ing and feeding in transit.
The rate charged Denver was
higher in practice than rates made
between Colorado and Utah, not
withstanding the additional noun
tain haul. Cattlemen of Montana

greatest complaint, he said, was the

WATERFORNEBRASKA
Government Project of Irrigation
Now Sure.

The So. 800. 900 irrigation project on
the part of the government which
will reclaim over 300, 900 acres of land
i'm western Nebraska will be carried
out. Through a contract signed in
Denver Friday by Engineer John A.
Field of the reclamation service and
II. ID. Lingle, principal owner OF
the big Whalen Ditch company, the
government secured the right of way
of the mammoth canal of the COM
pany in Laramie county, Wyoming.
The consideration was 10000
The object of the government in
acquiring the rights is to extend the
canal about seventy miles, so that
the vast body of land in western
Nebraska. which the government in
tends reclaiming under the reclama-
tion service can be irrigated. This
will mean the construction OF the
greatest water system in the United
States. 1t was last year that the
government appropriated $1,000, 900
for carrying on an investigation into
the feasibility of the enterprise. The
investigation has proved that it is
not only practical. but that the land
can be reclaimed at price which
will allow the sale of the land at Il
low figure.
Aocordiuu tn Mr. Tinple he has
sold the right of way of the 32 miles
of the canal as constructed. His
company reserves the right of way to
irrirate all the lands under the 32
miles. which aggregates about 10000
acres. The company also maintains
the right to operate the canal for the
first b miles.

condition yesterday morning about 1
o'clock under a bench in Savin Rock

A bottle Of carbolic acid was found near
where Byrnes was lying, and papers
sound in the pocket OF his clothing in
timated that he would never be seen
alive again. There were no signs of vio-
lence on the body and no indications
of foul play. A post norton examina-

sufficient to warrant the verdict OF
suicide. . a@..s e.
