Fort Lyon canal Meeting.

The board of directors of the Fort
Lyon Canal company met in the OF
fee Of the secretary Monday and
transacted the regular monthly rou
tine of business. The report OF the
committee appointed to investigate
the Horse creek reservoir was re-
ceived and accepted. The report is
as follows:
"Your committee visited the Horse
creek dam, canal and reservoir, and
on the whole find the scheme meri-
torious, valuable and worthy of con-
t,nued development. We found the
dykes, 30 far as built, the outlet
gates and the canal in good order.
"The headgate and dam are not in
good order, because the headgate
was improperly designed, in that it
caught the drift which obstructed
the flow of water; that the dam was
built too high and obstructed with

His Pride Was Hum bIed.

A young Baltimorean who attend
ed the Inauguration Of President
Roosevelt found two or three strang
ers matching dollars in Washing
ton hotel. He looked on for time
and, thinking it easy, asked II he
could get IN the game. Permission
was readily granted and within
short time his stranger friends had
won his last dollar. Then they un-
tremendously departed, saying they
wanted to see the parade.
When they had gone the young
man told his woes to the barkeeper
and asked for drink. That indi-
vidual provided him with all he
needed and informed him that the
game was a swindling one. When
the barkeeper suggested that the
young man go outside and view the
parade, he replied.
"Not on your life. 1 am too easy.
If 1 go out there / might be run
over by baby carriage and killed"

Tho Work Of the Legislature.

Yellow journals of the state, par
ticularly the Patterson papers of
Denver, devoted almost unlimited
space during the session of the Fif-
teenth General Assembly to con-
demning nearly every act OF that
body, for the resson, evidently, that
it was in the control of the republi-
can party. Scurrillous attacks upon
members were made without provo
cation and every effort was put forth
to imbue the public mind with the
idea that both houses were composed
largely of boodlers and grafters, bent
upon robbing the state whenever op
portunity presented itself.
But the good accomplished passed
unnoticed. The hard work of the
Legislature was not made subject
of comment. Valuable and long
needed Legislation was scoffed at and
the motives of honest men were i'm
pugned. There was a concerted at
tempt to convince the public that no
act of the assembly savored of hon
esty and fair dealing. Little was
said of the fact that consideration OF
"freak" bills was wholly eliminated;
that many laws were passed that are
essential to the welfare of the state;
that no unnecessary laws will burden
the people as result of the session
and that the executive and Judicial
departments of the state government
were all provided for in an efficient
and business-like manner.
The Fifteenth General Assembly
did not waste its time. First, it had
to dispose of the Gubernatorlal con
test. The history of that litigation
is we'll known. 10 settle it quickly
and properly it was necessary for
the House and Senate to hold morn
ing sessions and give the afternoons
and nights to the contest committee
of twenty-seven. The contest con-
tinued more than six weeks, making
necessary after its conclusion the
holding of many night sessions TO
conclude the business.
During the session of the legislat
ure 142 laws were enacted, out OF
the 7SO bills introduced. The most
important of these are the following:
Eieht-hour law; establishing voting
machines; district registration law;
regulating itinerant vendors; district
irrigation bill; authorizing loan of
school funds in aid of irrigation;
modified law prohibiting boycotts;
forbidding the use of trading stamps;
appropriatipg $4,000 for the preser-
yation of the cliff dwellings,; exempt
ing railroad, telephone, telegraph,
county and Judicial officers and &C
tive newspaper men, from jury work;
forbiddIng desecration of flag; es-
tablishing board of examiners OF
professional nurses; railroad con-
solidation bill; monument to Civil
war veterans on capitol grounds.
There are several worthy measures
The Lamar register., 1905-04-12

wastegates which would not open,
resulting in the stoppage OF more
water than could be taken care of,
and the partial failure of the dam.
Should money for the purpose be
available your committee would
recommend very substantial improve
ments, but under the circumstances
we do Recommend the following:
"1st. Lower the crest of the dam
about two feet. driving the sheet
piling to a new bedding and cutting
off any excess at the top. Apply
hay and brush weighted with rock
in front of the dam in order to seal
the Joints between the sheet piling
and shale.
"2d. Remove the waste gates
which now form part of the dam and
make that part conform to the rest
of the dam in heighth and general
construction.
"3d. Remove the present head E
gate to the floor level.
"4th. Widen the canal from
headgate to station 40, four thou
sand feet, using all the material to
reinforce the embankment on the
lower side of the canal which is
weak and should be strengthened.
18th. Build waste and sand
gate at certain low point about 3D.
400 feet from headgate, usiug such
material as is possible from the
headgates and wsstegates taken out.
This wastegste to be so feet in
width and built in safe and sub
stantial manner.
"6th. Extend the dam westward
and in line with the present dam by
building four lines of fence heavily
covered with barb wire and filled be-
tween with thistles, hay, brush or
roots.
9th. Plant willow cuttings to
protect banks wherever there is suffi-
cient moisture to make it worth
while.
"Sth. Remove the present bulk
head at east end of dam which is
now practically useless, except for
old material, and replace with an
extension of dam and build new
V shaped protection Of sheet piling
supported on rails set in shale in
much the same manner as the dam
is built, and fill in with brush or
hay and rock instead of earth, which
has always washed out. This means
an increased water way over dam OF
100 feet. 1t is not thought to be
certain that anything less than a
concrete dam and bulkheads will
hold. but in view of the great cost OF
same it is thought that an e1pendit.
ure of $3.50 would not be excessive
in an effort to make the dam tight"
1t was also ordered that Prince
reservoir north of Lamar be put in
condition to hold water.
The next monthly meeting Of the
company will be held at Lamar

The people of Lamar will have an
opportunity on Friday night, April,
Is. to witness one or the most
unique and entirely out of the or
binary entertainments ever given in
this city. MIR. Lee has secured
Prison Guard Geo. w. Ellis and his
Famous Trip Through the Penitent-
iaries. The newspapers Of Kansas
and Missouri have been loud in their
praise of this prison guard and his
work. Only the other day the JoP
lin daily papers gave this entertain
ment the best write up ever given an
entertainment there. 1t is said that
this man Ellis is wonder in his
way. His audiences are held spell
bound as he takes them through the
various departments of the great
prisons. His description of con-
yict's death and burial leaves an i'm
preston never forgotten. The great
scene of the convict coal mine show
ing the convicts at work in the mine,
is true to life and the sensational
truths this man is telling of this ter
rible place will startle his audience
Every father and mother in Lamar
should bring their sons and daught
ers to this great educational enter
tainment. Tickets now on sale at
Lees. Prison Guard Ellis will no
doubt be greeted by house filled
with the best people of our town.
Prices 10. Is, 25 and 30 cents.

Rocky Ford went dry once more
but by majority so reduced as not
to be much of an endorsement of
the present administration. 1t is
evidently an open question yet as to
whether it is possible to permanently
continue the prohibition policy there.
The La Junta papers all support
ed the same candidate for mayor
and he only appeared in the also ran
class, the other candidate being far
in the lead. The papers have not
explained the matter yet.
Municipal ownership was badly
defeated in the La Junta city cleo
ton. The issue may be good
enough for a iimcrow town like Chi
cago, but an up-to-date city like
La Junts won't stand for it.

commissionership Brother Bowman
is again in charge of the Rocky
Ford Tribune, and hsstens to an
nounce that the joke of a democratic
paper supporting the prohibition
ticket was not any of his doings and
nothing but "real" democracy goes
now.
A Grand Junction man committed
suicide last week because Of poor
train service. If this habit should
strike the Arkansas valley it would
all be a cemetery in a week.
On election day An American citi-
zen who said he lived half way be-
tween La Junta and Rocky Ford was
measuring the walks of the city. He
remarked in a somewhat stammering
manner that there were lots of Rocky
Ford people came here to trade, be-
cause they could get wet goods here,
but that the La Juntans did not go
to Rocky Ford to trade because they
could get dry goods at home.-Otero

Three freight cars were delailed on
the siding here, last week, by the
spreading Of the rails. Two of the
cars were soon put on the track
again, but the third, loaded with
borax, was thrown to one side so far
and so badly damaged that it was
not made ready to move until the
first of the week.
