pany has an appropriation to take
water from the river dating back to
1867.
The Hoffman company relying, as
they claim, on this appropriation
built its mill below the outlet of the
tailrace of the Hotel mill intend
ing to use the water for power after
it had been thrown back into the
river.
1t was claimed in the suit that
the Fort Collins Milling company
and the Windsor Reservoir and
Canal company entered into an
agreement by which the reservoir
company was allowed to take the
Hotel appropriation into its canals,
mile or so above, paying to the
milling company the expense of
operating it's plant by steam. The
Hoffman company was thus deprived
of sufficient water to operate Its
mill, and brought suit to have Its
rights to the water established.
A decree was entered in January
of this wear which establishes the
right of the Hoffman Milling com
panv to tie use of the water, 1t be-
ing held that the Hotel company
held only the right to the use of the
water to operate its mill.
Thereupon the Hoffman Milling
company brought suit for damages
against the Windsor Reservoir and
Canal company, the Fort Collins
Milling and Elevator company and
BENJAMIN F. Hotel for wrongfully
depriving them of the use of the
water for period of about four
wears. up to the time of the decree
and preventing the operating of its
mill. Judge Garrigues held that
neither the Fort Collins Milling
company nor B. F. Hotel were
liable in damages and directed a
verdict in their favor.
The case went to the jury as
against the Windsor Reservoir and
Canal company and verdict of
81. 900 damages was rendered in favor
of the plaintiff Thursday afternoon.
The cases have been hard fought
from the beginning and the legal
battle will no doubt only end in the
supreme court.

HEAVY DAMAGES
Hoffman Milling Company Wins

OF considerable interest here is a
case in the district court at Fort

district court Thursday the Hoffman

sufficient water from the river to
operate its mill.
The contest which has been an
important and interesting one, began
in 1904. AT that time suit was

To Save Parents.

Because he wanted to hurry back
to Michigan with his aged parents,
both of whom are seriously i'll, Ed.
Murray last Friday plead guilty in
the county court to an offense of
which he has heretofore stoutly
maintained his innocence. He was
fined 81 and costs, amounting to
about $50, on charge of selling
liquor without license.
Murray, who is only about % years
of age was found guilty in Justice
court last summer of the offense
with which he was charged and ap-
pealed the case to the county court.
He gave bond for his appearance and
went to work in the sugar factory at
Eaton. His parents whose health
were very poor came out here and
he made home for them. But the
climate seemed to aggravate their
Illness and within the past few days
it has become apparent that If their
life should be saved they would have
to return to their Michigan home.
AS the son was unable to leave on
account of his troubles in court he
determined to come in, plead guilty,
and settle up.
1t is claimed that Murray did not
actually sell liquor for profit him
self, but that he worked in store
in Eaton and knew where liquor
could be had. He was in the habit
of running out to place that was
secretly selling liquor and bring
back the quantity that the customer
who was trading with Murray de-
sired. When detectives were
brought to Eaton by the authorities
to investigate the alleged bootleg
ging in the town. young Murray was
one of the first to be entrapped by
the very method just described.

STEAM HORSE
MONSTER ANIMAL FLOWING
NEAR PECKHAM
F. S. Putnam Has Broken up
and Plowed 1000 Acres of
Land in That Section
This Fall

This summer will likely mark a
new epoch in Weld county agricul-
tural methods. The steam plow has
been tried and found to be practical,
and the horse famine that has been
bothering more or less the past few
years has been remedied,
In the vicinity Of Peckham the
past summer nearly 1000 acres Of
land, new and old, have been broken
up and plowed by f. S. Putnam and
crew with steam plow, that will
easily do the work of sixteen horses,
or perhaps better, thirty-two horses.

Hotel Troubles.

The Brown hotel and cafe Satur-
day afternoon passed into the posses
sion of the sheriff upon a writ of
replevin. Claude Newton will be
the new proprietor of the place as
soon as the legal tangle in which 1t
is enmeshed is straightened out.
The trouble started when Will
liam Howard sold an option upon
the place to Arthur Wood for s25-
To help Wood along, Lofgren
Brothers, grocers, and Martin Gan
shorn, meat dealer, are said to have
given Wood receipted bills for pro-
visions to the amount of $21l, that
he was to repay them at his leisure.
When next morning Woods found
himself unable to raise the balance
of the purchase price he turned over
the option and the receipted bills to
Mr.. Newton.
Then the grocer and butcher went
after Mr.. Howard for their money,
but he refused to pay as he had sold
the place. Next they came after
Mr.. Newton but he showed them the
receipted bills with their own sigma
lures and declined to pay.
The two business men then levied
upon the place, putting Constable
John Ferguson in charge and were
threatening to move every thing out
of the hotel, to satisfy the debt.

plevin and the sheriff took charge.

about Peckham, wanted to break up
lot of raw prairie and put this
under cultivation it was found i'm
possible to secure teams for the
work. The officers therefore cast
about for something to take the
place of flesh and blood. This was
found in large 25-horse power trac'
tion engine, owned by Mr.. Putnam.
He secured a pair of drive wheels,
three feet wide each, ran the big
iron horse out on the prairie.
hitched it to a pair of gang plows,
each with four plows, again turned on
the steam, and after few snorts the
big animal moved majestically across
wide stretch of open country, and
in its wake eight furrows were being
turned, regardless of the roots of
sage and grease weeds.
That was the beginning. Some
thing like nine hundred acres OF
new land was broken up with such
ease that it would be folly to think
Of putting that rough work upon a
team of two, three or four horses.
Farmers of the vicinity seeing the
success of the steam plow in that
section wanted it to work for them.
Contracts for blowing were offered
to Mr.. Putnam faster than he could
take care of them, and he is still
working, with little hope of finish
ing up all the. work that is offered
him this season.
Recently the steam plow finished
turning over nearly 300 acres OF land
in one field for 2. W. Allen. This
will all be put into wheat If it has
not already been done.
But the labor saving methods had
not vet reached their full stage OF
development, until the steam horse
and its eight plows went to work on
the newly purchased farm of A. ID.
Rutler. three miles west of Peck
ham. Mr.. Butler thought tie plow
pretty good, but did not go far
enough. He therefore placed man
with an automatic grain sower on
the rear gang plow and let him ride

Cove. 1t was announced that all
political differences must be put
aside and systematic fight waged If
the great industry of the west was
to be preserved. 1t was decided
that steps must be taken to arouse
public opinion on the subject and
the fight must be carried into con-
gress.
Congressman Bonynge told what
might be expected in the house of
representatives.
Senator Teller pointed out how
much money was invested in sugar
factories in this country and recalled
the fact that a beet sugar factory
can not be used for any other pur-
pose. A few years of Philippine
sugar would flood the market, he
said. and sound the death knell of
the growing American industry.
c. S. Morey, speaking for the beet
sugar manufacturers, said that the
removal of the tariff meant the i'm
mediate cessation of building beet
sugar factories in the state. and ulti-
mately would cause the closing down
Of those now in operation. Ameri-
cans can not compete with the
Philippine product, he declared, and
the farmers would lose one of their
most profitable crops if the industry
was killed in this country. There
is now about sl2, 600. 900 invested in
beet sugar factories in Colorado
alone, and this would be almost a
total loss if the tariff was removed.
A reduction of the tariff on
Philippine sugar would not benefit
the farmers of the islands, according
to Aaron Cove, who has just re-
turned from study of the situation
abroad. but middle class which
furnished the money and was often
composed of Americans. The
Philippine farmer is too lazy to be
benefited, he said, and would be
contented with just enough to sus-
tain life. He can live ON 8 cents a
day and work only four days in the
week. Philippine sugar is cheaper
than the American product even
now, declared Mr.. Cove.

CROP SHORT
Minnesota and Wisconsin Suffer
From Blight

According to the Chicago Packer,
market publication, the potato
crop in some parts of Minnesota will
be only one-fourth of its usual
amount, and for the entire state the
crop will be one third short. In
that potato belt lying between
Minneapolis and Duluth, where are
usually produced about 10000 car
loads annually. Here the crop will
be fully one-third less. In the Red
River Valley, another great potato
section the crop is not one-quarter
what it should be, according to this
authority.
From other sources it is also
learned that the crop is very short
there. Blight seems to have been
the cause of the shortage. 1t is
claimed that it will be necessary to
change every bit of seed in the Red
River Valley before the trouble will
be remedied.
The Wisconsin potato crop Is
suffering from the same trouble and
is almost as short as the Minnesota
crop.
This should make a great demand
for Greeley potatoes as long as there
are any left. and it seems that it
will be a pretty good investment to
hold on to good share of them un-
