AN Irrigation system is to be put
in near Hayden, Routt county. this
state, which will furnish water for
100, 900 acres of land. A reservoir
covering I,oao acres and having a
wall Ioa feet high will be built.
The main ditch will be twenty
eight miles long. The estimate
cost for building this system is
5000, 900. This is a pretty good
item for the Montezuma valley
rancher to smoke in his pipe while
his friends (s) are pleading with
him not to try to put in an irriga-

THERE is some talk of voting
machines being used in Colorado to
prohibit. if possible, the casting Of
fraudulent votes. 1t would be a
difficult matter to get a machine
that the election crooks would not
be able to beat. The only way to
prohibit fraud is to enact and en-
force law making the attempt to
cast a fraudulent ballot crime
punishable by death. The casting
of illegal ballots, or in any way
tampering with the honest franchise
OF the people. is treason. 1t is a
graver crime than murder. In the
committing Of murder human life
is sacrificed, but election fraud,
if permitted to 60 Unchecked, will
