SURE WATER SUPPLY
DENVER WILL NEVER GO DRY
cheesman Lake Equal to New Works.
Big Croton acknowledged
Masonry Dam In the World.


The water in Cheesman lake, the
reservoir recently completed by the
Denver Union Water company, has
reached the highest point since the
construction Of the monster dam.
which is the highest masonry dam in
the world.
""The water in the lake is ove 100
feet deep to-day" said Walter S. Chees-
man OF the water company yesterday.
1.-THE reservoir now contains about 20
600, 600, 900 gallons of water, its great
est capacity being $1,000, 600, 600 gal
Ions. This is the highest point yet
reached. If the water reached twenty
two feet higher, it would flow over the
spillway. Six months ago the lake con-
tanned less than 100, 000, 900 gallons.
The total depth Of the reservoir is PIP
feet.
'The capacity of Cheesman lake is
about the same as the big Croton res
ervoir in New York, which is supposed
to contain about 1000, 900, 900 gallons
of water. However, the Croton reser-
voir is not so deep and covers so much
larger area that the danger of loss by
seepage and evaporation is increased
to such an extent that it really will
save no more water than Cheesman
lake.
"Denver's water supply is now fully
assured. Besides this big storage at
Cheesman lake, we have also about
six or eight billion gallons of water in
Marston lake. which is more than half
full. Exclusive of these reservoirs, our
water rights would more than supply
the city of Denver. We have esti-
mated that the people of Denver will
consume about IL, 900, 0OO, 900 gallons of
water the coming year, so it can read
lily be seen that we are on the safe
side.
However. we do not count all the
waste of water because several spells
Of drought might seriously draw upon
the reserve supply. In building Chees-
man dam, however, we have looked far
into the future and e~ndeayored to in
sure an amply supply of water for the
city of Denver for all time. Our loca-
ton is magnificent, there being a wa
ter-shed Of 1,796 square miles of tim
Der contributory to Cheesman lake.
Denver is much better off than
either Chicago and New York, which
always have been handicapped by a
lack of water. l believe that the big
Croton project in New York will, in
twenty years. cost fully one hundred
or even two hundred million dollars to
insure an adequate water supply fol
New York. The expense will be al
most a continuous one for that length
of time, for in spite of all the work
done, they will have to tap the Hud
son river and filter it's water to in
crease the supply.
Our supply has been assured al
much less expense and W. feel thar
with what has been accomplished
Denver is safe as regards its water
supply for all time. Denver Republi
can.

Marvellous Toy Cannon.

Prof. William Suddards Franklin,
head of the department of physics at
Lehigh University, is said to have in
vented a harmless toy cannon designed
to take the place of the deadly cast
iron affair filled with gunpowder and
which reaps a rich harvest Of victims
every Fourth of July. By applying a
w%ell-known principle of chemistry he
has produced a cannon which makes
a report, but cannot explode; hurls
missiles which can do no harm, and is
a flash of fire which does not scorch
tissue paper.
The explosion is caused by an cleo
trio spark igniting a combination of
air and gas, somewhat on the principle
of a gas engine. This discharges a
cork, no other missile will do, and pro
duces a flame of so low a temperature
that it does not burn. Furthermore,
it is said, 5000 shots can be fired for
a nickel.

opportunity to show his great capacity

Every child born in Greenfield here
after will receive from Mr.. Davenport
a savings bank account of fifty cents.
Mr.. Davenport's main hope of inspir-

infants is an annual baby show to be
held in May. The proceeds of the
show he proposes to devote to boys
club work, thus encouraging children
of tender years, though too old for
baby show honors. President Roose-
welt has approved Mr.. Davenport's
baby show plan and has signiied his
appreciation of the compliment of
having his likeness on souvenir badges
which will be distributed among
Franklin county babies. The trump
card of Mr.. Davenport will be an at

dealt Roosevelt at the show.

MOURN Loss oF JEFFERSON.
Veteran of the Stage Beloved by All
Theater-Goers.

Joseph Jefferson was undoubtedly
the best loved of American actors. The
older generation of the~ater-goers re-
member him as the leading exponent.
if not the originator of a new school
of acting in which simplicity took the
place of traditional stage art and man.
nerisms. The younger generation re-
members him as Rip Van Wrinkle, a
character which he made ever more
attractive as he grew older.
In the late sos Jefferson was asso-
ciated with the most popular players
Of the time. Those who were with
him on the stage and those who heard
him felt the influence of his new meth
cd. It appealed to the most artistic,
the most critical, as well as the hum
blest of playgoers.
This quality of Jefferson's playing
attached actors and people to him
when he first played ASA Trenchard,'
in 1858, as it did when he first played
rip Van Winkle.' seven or eight
years later. On this point the recol-
lections of Edwin Booth, Couldock.
Sothern, Boucicault and Raymond as
to first impression are not notably diff
ferent from those of the unsophisti-
Gated enthusiast from the country or
the playworn first nighter of the city.
The art of Jefferson touched ali,
and certain modulations of voice and
simple gestures and poses gave keen
est pleasure every time they were re-
membered.
Only those whose memories cover
forty years can understand what JEFF
ferson's RIP Van Winkle' meant to
the generation that first heard it. 1t
was like a revelation to the infre-
uuent theater-goer, and did more to
break down prejudice against the
stage than any other play ever pre-
scented.
Clergymen and thousands of men
and women who had never entered a
theater counted it an event in their
lives to see Jefferson in RIP Van
Wrinkle" Men did not know why they
laughed and cried like children, and
they did not care. There was a magic
in the drama that had been there be-
fore, and Jefferson was the magician.
At first it was Jefferson the actor
that the people loved. Then they came
to love Jefferson, the man. RIP Van
Wrinkle" was a means of revealing to
old and young a personality as whole
some in its influence as any ever asso-
ciated with the stage.
In summing up Jefferson's career
it is enough for people to say rip
Van Wrinkle" Called upon to give
him rank among the great actors OF
the world, ninety-nine out of a hun
bred people would count it su%periuous
to say more than rip Van Wrinkle. d
And yet rip Van Winkle' would not
