WATER CONVENTION
To be Held Here to Discuss Plans
For Preventing The PoIlu-
tion of The Water of The
Arkansas River by Plac-
er Miners at Cache
Creek,

The initial steps in an agitation to
prevent the pollution OF the waters of
the Arkansas river by placer mining at
Granite having been taken by the peo-
pie of Saiida, the board of trade Of
that city has called a convention of
towns along the river from Beuna
Vista eastward to the Kansas line to
meet in this city on the Goth inst. to
formulate some plan OF procedure to
compel the placer miners on Cache
creek to show by what AUTHORITY they
are permitted to destroy the natural
purity OF the water of the river by
washing into it sand and mud in their
business operations during seven or
eight months OF each year.
The people of Salida are thoroughly
aroused over the matter and are de-
termined to test the Question of the
company's alleged right to prosecute
it's placer operations to the detriment
of the citizens residing lower down the
valley whose only source OF water sup
ply is from the river. A half score of
other towns are as deeply interested in
the matter as Sslida and concerted
effort on the part of their citizens
ought to result in putting stop to the
trouble complained of.
The representation in the proposed
convention from the various commune
ties affected has not yet been fixed
than three delegates from each city.
Mayor Coulter has appointed the mem
bers of the city council a reception
committee to welcome the visiting

THE GREAT CONDOR.
II IL the Mo.t DimcuIt bird In the
World to Trap.

II Ii the Most Dtmcu1t Bird In the
world to Trap.
Probably the great condor is the most
difficult bird in the world to trap. One
of the great vultures, II inhabits lofty
peaks of the Andes, hardly accessible
to man. 1t builds its nest among the
topmost crags, often on a ledge of some
precfpice with an almost perpendicular
drop OF many hundred feet
An extremely wary bird. II shares
with Its congeners the proverbial ''ea-
gle eye" and Is thus able to see i'm
mense distances while yet unseen by
man. Its wings have spread OF
twelve feet and. though its flight Is
heavy, 1t can sustain itself for long pc
RODS in the air.
To trap II men ascend to its haunts
and shoot some animal Of considerable
size. This is skinned. and a man lies
down by the body under the skin and
waits. perhaps for hours Soon con-
dors come nocking round until one set
ties on the skin. when the man below
grips its legs, flings the skin over II
and stabs II to death.
The strength OF these birds II enor-
nous, and he condor hunters often
have their arms broken hy strokes
from their powerful wingA
