The Water
Secured
The Park Center

The most important and far reaching
judicial opinion afecti"g irrigHtion
rights ever handed down by the courts
in this county was the decision OF
Judge Bailey last Friday granting a
decree 10 the Park Center Land q Wat
or Company 10 all Of the water in -Four
Mile creek, less four cubic feet sec
ond reserved for public use.
The decree was the outgrowth of pro-
trRcted litigation between the farmers
residing on Four Mile creek and the
ditch company, both Of whom claimed
10 be entitled TO the water under a
priority of right.
Having ascertAined from the reports
>of the engineers that the FL Paso
drainage tunnel would divert a lot OF
water into Four Mile creek from the
Cripple Greek basin the PARK Center
Land a Water Company purchased
from its promoters the fow of water
that would pass through III. tunnel,
paying therefor the sum Of $500
Realizing that the legality OF its ac-
;ion would probably be contested in
sh. courts the officers OF the Park Cen
ter Lhnl q Water Company obtained
expert lA~ opinion in relation to the
right OF the tuDitel company to dispose
OF the water, and upon n favorable re-
ply being received from lie attorneys
the purchase Was made
A few months ago the settlers along
Four Mile creek filed an application in
the district rorrt asking that the ditch

A Big
Shipment
More Straw berries
Than Ever Before.
The June Shipment From Canon
City Was About Twenty-Three
Car Loads.

Whatever may be said of other
branches of trade there is no denying
the fact that the express business in
Canon City is in fiourishing condition
due, OF course, to the large quantity of
fruit and berries that are being shipped
from here to Pueblo, Denver and other
markets. Although the strawberry
season is over, so far as shipments by
local growers is concerned there is no
material diminution in the volume
of business being done by the express
companies, as cherries, raspberries,
currants and other fruits have taken
the place which strawberries occupied
two or three weeks ago. The record
Of both the Globe and the Wells Fargo
Express Companies for the month of
June show a decided increase in busi-
ness over the corresponding month
company the growth amounting to
about thirty-tive per cent. During
June l3, ,44s crates of berries were ship
ped from Canon City. many of them
going into other states than Colorado;
some of them as far east as Kansas
City and as far south as Fort Worth.
For the month of June the Globe Ex-
press mpany is credited with ship
ping 1,74s crates OF berries from here
and the Wells Fargo Company 500,
fully ninety per cent of which were
strawberries

is sufficient to irrigate all of the land

A MINNESOTA INDUSTRY.

From an apple tree solicitor on
commission, at the age of seven
teen, to the president and manager
of $150,O00 nursery and green
house plant, measures the career of
Thomas E. eastman, who is yet a
young man.
The nursery. is located on the
west side of the corporation limits
of Owatonna, Mimi, and is known
as the Clinton Falls Nursery Co.
They are laying plans to carry on
operations on a still larger scale
although they are already doing a
great business.
Apple trees to the number of 1922
900 were sold before this falls
shipment had begun, and they have
about 400, 1000 on hand. The illus
tration on our first page represents
their fine storage and shipping
house, though it has been added to
since this picture was made. In
addition to apple trees, great guam
titles of shade trees and shrubs are
cared for here. AS many as two
hundred men are now at work in
shipping and wrapping. All the
small shrubs are wrapped in saw
dust and burlap. They have about
18, OO0 plums from to 6 feet and
other fruit trees in like proportion,
and will make about 5000 gratis
the coming winter.
| Of shade trees and trees that are
to be grown for wind breaks, they
have about 100000 box elders,
100000 ash, soft naples, hard

balsam frs, and other evergreens
that are ready for the market.
They also have of trawberries,
raspberries, blackberries, currants,
gooseberries, and other small fruits
enough to supply all demands.
| A modern greenhouse of no small
proportions has recently been add
| ed. It is constructed with all the
most approved appliances and fitted
with every convenience. The truss
roof upon which the glass rests is
made entirely ofiron, soas to throw
the least shadow possible.
There are three large houses now
full of growing plants, such as

the leading kinds OF green house
plants. Each house has three OF
four rows of beds in terrace form
that is, each to the north is raised
about foot higher than the next tc
