THE PRIZE WINNERS
Ad Reading Contest Successful
Event.

The prize contest for the reading
of advertisements in The Tribune
was great success when judged by
the number of answers received.
The fact that practically every
answer received was correct shows
that there was nothing puzzling in
the contest, but that it was just a
straight forward demonstration Of
the fact that readers of newspapers
read the ads as we'll as the news.
j. Henry Couture won the first
prize, 50. 80; j. Z. Cameron took Sec
ond prize, sl.50, and w. Fl. Rogers
was awarded third prize. 81. The
following sent in answers in the
order named. and each was awarded
box Of Gunther's chocolate drops:
Spencer Turner, Lois Wright, Mrs.
Euhel Houston, Rufus N. Gllpatrick
of Eaton, Katie c. Bullock, Ethel
V. Sturgeon.
An error in print occurred in the
ad for Noah's Ark. The figures given
were sl5.5 .551a, but should have been
s5.55H. AS this was little confus-
ing, credit was always given as cor
rect, where only this difference in
figures occurred.
The answers were: /, Sanborn, Nc
Lane & Co.; 2, F. E. Smith & Co.;
3, D. r. Macarthur; 4, Noah's Ark;
5, Meyers Grocery Co.; 6, Marks
Market; I, Davenport s. Thompson;

A DIFFERENT VIEW
The Point Involved in City Water
Case.

Case.
More information in regard to the
decision of Referee Patton Of Boulder
In the water case involving the pro-
posed supply Of mountain water for
Greeley, shows that the referee recog
nized W. r. Adams claim for 6 80
cubic feet OF water per second in the
Big Thompson and HiIlsboro bitches.
The use Of this water, however, the
referee held was only intermittent
fer irrigating purposes. He then
reduced the quantity to two feet per
second to be used continuously. This
decision attorneys claim is new to the
courts, as it fixes the limit Of an irri-
eating season, something that not
even the supreme court has done
heretofore.
As the referees decision in any
water case is really only in the nature
of a recommendation to the district
court after hearing evidence in the
case, this case will at once be taken
to The district court for decision.
The water situation in Greeley is
really becoming serious. The supply
in the wells at the city pumping sta
tion is now as low as it was at its
worst stage two years ago, when the
city went through on barely enough
for domestic purposes. 1t is expected
that the shortage will be somewhat
relieved as soon as irrigation COM
mences, as the water from the land
south OF the waterwUrks will seep
into the wells.

Notable Features of the

hr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
convention: We do not expect here
that stupid peace which smells OF
chloroform.
We do not wish that unctuous
unanimity which springs from the I'M
conflicting emotions of a solitary man.
We would not have our harmony in
a single harness. We, too, love the
stir of d strenuous life; but we be
Heve. in equal strenuousness for all
and special strenuousness for none.
We do not derive our power from the
seats of the mighty, but from the
souls Of the humble. We do not ask
for inane agreement springing from
faithless fire; but rather outbursts of
dissension issuing from robust free
dom. We are not in executive ses-
sion, but rather in the committee of

people to select a candidate. We were

whom they had learned to love they
fingered listless under the whip of one

more or less than an era of boots and
