very much if you would print the

the Denver Post of October fifth.

author Of the article is, but 1t il

of the San Luis Valley to find
some one who has the interests of
the San Luis Valley at heart suffi-
cient to tackle this subject With
the vigonr that he does in this
article. There 10 also An editorial
along the same line in the Denver
Republican of October 10, which
should be printed, although it
does not go to the bottom OF the
subjec, in detail.
Now the question is suggested
to me- IN these articles: 10 it not
time for the people Of the San
Luis Valley to take hold Of thus
question in definite way and push
the issue to a finish? Why could
not the people aud counties Of the
San Luis Valley form q strong
organization backed with sufficient
means to carry . suit through the
courts and test the question ~ 70
whether We have q right or not to
build reservoirs on the Rio Grande
river or its tributaries? We can
not begin TO realize the possibili.
ties Of this Valley until this ques-
ton is wiped of the books, aud in
my judgment 1t never will be done
until We have the courage and the
determination to go ahead and
take the bull by the horns aud
fight this question out to y finish.
II the people Of this Valley could
only realize individually what 1t
meant to them for the future the
right to build reservoirs and store
the surplus waters oi our streams
tributary to this Valley, it sesms
To me that We would be organized
in one strong body aud stand To-
gether like an army aud fight this

arise from. the fact that the gov
eminent of Mexico complained
several years ago about the lack
of water for irrigation IN the Rio
Grande valley opposite FL Paso,
Texas. At the same time the sug.
gcstion was made that the shortage
was due to the diversion of water
IN Colorado. Of course 1t was
nonsense to attribute scarcity of
water in the river Mt FL PasO to
diversion in the San Luis valley of
this state, but the suggestion was
enough to cause the secretary of
the interior to withdraw certain
lands available for reservoirs from
location for that purpose. This
was done upon the request of the
state department. and hence the
department of the interior will do
nothing to revoke that order until
approval of such action is received
from the secretary of state.
. Probably the state department
has forgotten all about the request
IN question. The problem with
Mexico has practically been settled
and there is really no occasion for
any hostility to the storage of
water for irrigation purposes IN
the San Luis valley. Whether
anything could he accomplished
by directing the attention Of the
state department to the situation
is an open question. But It Is
worth trying, and the effort should
be made.
In this connection something
should be done to test the aulhori.

ley of the Rio Grande river has
been forbidden. For a good
many years a dispute has existed
between the United States gov
eminent and that of Mexico
over the water in the Rio Grande.
At the time this order was made
affairs in the San Luis valley were
at their lowest ebb. Prices of land
had been declining, there had
been several drouths. the first fer
tility of the land on thousands of
acres had been exhausted. and
there was no desire TO build reser-
voirs. The matter, therefore. slept
until about three years ago. Then
the development OF the field pea
industry in the valley gave land
matters great impetus. 1t was
found TINT the field rotation en-
riched the soil as thoroughly ms
alfalfa does in the Greeley section.
Valley farmers We're once more
raising bonanza crops and compel
ing successfully with the Fort
Collins lamb fatteners ON the east
ern markets. There are, surround
ing the valley, sites for reservoirs
to give an abundance of water to
some 10000 acres of land. which
now has an uncertain water sup
ply. The promotion of reservoir
sites was begun, money was sub
scribed. and in some cases work
WAS begun.
At this point the Colorado men
ran against an unexpected Difficult
ty, the opposition of the govern
ment reclamation service.
So openly hostile is the recla-
nation service to the development
of the upper valley of the Rio
Grande TINT when Frank c. Cloudy
of this city, who is Mt the head of
the Colorado Valley Land com
pany succeeded in raising the
money To build large reservoir
in the mountains near Creole, ut
the head of the Rio Grandc. he
was plainly told that at the first
move to build dam injunction
proceedings would Ike begun, and
the work tied up ms long ms the
government could delay the mat
ter in the courts, while the New
Mexico projects would be pushed
through and thus corral all the

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Leland Man Catches His Hand in q
Saw Necessitating Amputation.

Leland, Idaho, May 3.-One of the
men at Rafferty's sawmill near Tea
kean caught his hand in the edger saw
and before he could be released suffer-
ed his hand to be sawed almost entire
ly off, or so near that it was found nee
essary to amputate the hand diagonally
from the knuckle joint of the little
finger TO the knuckle or second Joint
of the thumb. DR.. Stonebreaker per
formed the operation very successfully.
William Black, son of Michael Black,
who has his leg broken on last Mon
day a week ago, is getting along nicely
and bids fair to make a good recovery.
The addition to the Smith store
building occupied by the firm of De-
Winter and GOodzward, is now under
roof so that the remainder of the work
can be pushed more rapidly not having
to cease on account of the frequent
rains.
Yesterday Chris Flaig sold his quar-
ter section of land one and one half
miles west of Leland to man from
Kansas Mr.. FLAG realizes SO, 500 from
the sale of his farm and stock. Con-
sideration of the stock 81 1000, leaving
a balance of $500 as value of the
ranch. This is by far the best sale
on the Potlatch for some time but only
proves the real value of the farm land
in this section
Sal.ll1 10 fact i'm, h.,II
of the young athletes of this vicinity.
Some good skill in that line is manifest
and Leland could soon boast of good
amateur team if we only could secure
place to play and practice but land is
so valuable on the Potlatch that 1t
cannot be purchased or rented for such
sport.
