1T ALL DEPENDS on the strength
of the West as to whether the National
Irrigation Congress shall prove bless
ing to Colorado OF exert harmful
influence upon the state. 1t is safe to
say that Colorado will stand as unit
against any scheme of the Reclamation
department or railroad syndicate to
interfere with the building of the
Moftat roads originally contempla
ted. In this fight for fair play it is
believed that we will have the support
not only of the East and South, but
also of those western states which are
not directly interested in securing the
waters of Colorado at our expense. If
the Gore canon can be appropriated by
the Reclamation bureau in the face of
Mr.. Moffat's prior claim this state
will sustain irreparable damage with
out any compensating good which
could not as we'll be secured through

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE ae

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE agi-
tation in number of cities in regard
to paving-both as to the kinds of
paving used. and the price thereof
1t is safe to say that no town should
permit or encourage cheap paving or
cheap cement work in sidewalks or
crossings. AS proof of the different
grades of cement sidewalks it is only
necessary for one to cast the eye about
Glenwood. Whether the inferior
walks, now cracked and SCARED, cost
much less than the walks put down
last year, and within the past few
months, we do not know, but it is
evident that they were worth much
less and the Post believes it is really a
waste of time and money to put dow n
such walks at any price.

SeoiVu A'VpVsoAS AVA SVunty DIiNbV
Public notice is hereby given that
in pursuance Of resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners, of
Garfield County, Colorado, the under

at his Office in Glenwood Springs,
Colorado, for the construction of
bridge across the Crystal river or
Rock creek, at one of the two sites
hereinafter mentioned.
The bridge so to be constructed is
to be either at the site of the present
wooden bridge across said river, at
or near, the headgate of the Kaiser &
Sievers irrigating ditch and in line
with the present county highway; or
at site across said river at point

former site and on or near the divid-
ing line between the Sarah F. Cooper
and the F. E. Sweet ranches; to be
designated by the County Surveyor.
In case the former site be selected,
the height of the new pridge above the
high water mark shall be not less
than six feet. The old bridge is to
be taken down and the material piled
up on either bank of the stream. In
case the latter site be selected, the
bridge shall be not less than ten feet
above high water line.
In each case the bidder il called
upon to submit his proposal covering
on both sites. submitting his own
plans and specifications, and designate
whether the superstructure shall be
combination or steel, and whether the
piers and abutments shall be concrete
or tubular concrete, or stone.
Each bid to include also cost of
making proper and level approaches to

irrigating ditch to be protected IN a
proper manner.
In all cases where embankments are
exposed to the action of high water,
the same must be rip-rapped to point
at least a foot above high water mark.
A certified check for $500. 90 condi

TRUTH ABOUT uINTAH FAD

Editor Newton of the Grand June
ton News on the last day of the Uin
tab registration found room in his
editorial columns to express his real
views on the situation and this is the
way he did it.
Every man of moderate means can
find better opportunities in the Grand
Valley than will ever be obtained in
the Uintah country. Those who have
come West, thinking to settle there.
should take day or two to look over
the opening here before driving one
hundred miles from railroad.
This is exactly the position taken
by the Post from the beginning Of the
excitement The editor of this paper
has transportation and could have
placed his name on the list with the
expenditure of one day, the price of
two meals, and the registry fee of two
bits, and he didn t consider chance
at the Indian lands worth half that
amount, and yet, we are told that
every state in the Union was repre-
scented in the Grand junction registra-
ton.
People living in Colorado went
from almost in sight of lands which,
when improved by fencing and water
ing, will be worth from twice to
many times as much as the Uintah
lands and these improvements can be
made in many instances for less money
than will be required on the reserva
ton lands, and yet, the lottery feature
of the Utah scheme made it seem
especially attractive to thousands who
seemed determined to guarantee the
fulfllment of Barnum's statement,
that "the American people love to be

BY THEIR ACTION

BY THEIR ACTION taken last
Thursday evening in ordering dis
missal of the suit pending at Red
Cliff for the adjudication of the waters
of Grizzly creek, the town board has
eliminated the trouble and expense
and bad blood which would surely
have resulted from a continuance of
the litigation and that without in any
manner jeopardizing the town $ rights
to inaugurate municipal ownership,
whenever it is thought best to do so
1t should be plain to every fair mind
ed citizen, that whoever supplies
water to the town of Glenwood
Springs, whether that be a private
company, or municipal corporation,
will need both Grizzly and Noname
creeks. If that be true, then the tun-
mel now being run by the company
is necessary, and surely the company
can do the work as cheaply as it could
be done by the city, and when the
city gets ready to buy the plant it
can buy it all together No one who
has investigated the matter believes
the town could possibly hope to secure
more than a conditional decree at this
session of the court, ana a permanent
or absolute decree would depend on
the actual diversion and appropriation
of the water and it is plain that before
this could be done the company will
have finished the tunnel and be using
the water. In any way the matter
can be viewed it would seem that for
the town to prosecute the matter
further would be simply throwing
money away.

the administrative acts of the govern
