Cannot Divert Water.

Judge Stevens recently decided a case
at Montrose which affects water users
between Montrose and Delta. Owing
to the seepage water coming in from
the mesa above, the owners of priorities
Nos. 2 and 8. residing near Delta, had
no further use for the water decreed to
them. Accordingly they sold it. some
173 inches, mostly to parties residing on
Spring Creek Mesa. These parties then
sought to have the amount of water de-
creed in these priorities diverted from
the river to the Montrose and Delta
canal, some 80 miles above the original
point of diversion. The junior approp-
riators as protestants sought to oprevent
the change and the contest found its
way into the district court, as they
claimed many of them would be greatly
injured if such transfer was permitted
The petitioners were represented by
Millard Fairlamb. Bell & Catlin. Story
& Story and John Gray, and the pro-
testants by Sherman & Griffith, Milton
R. Welch, r. M. Logan and Frank l..
Ross. The first battle is victory for
the latter.
Judge Stevens holds that the change
cannot be made for the reason that it
will be too great an injury to the pro-
testants, with the exception of Peti
toner Cory. who is granted the right to
change his water, as it effects no one.
The costs were assessed to the petion-
ers.

Xavier, but with Delta showing the
best form. In the first hah neither
side scored and it began to look like =
repetition Of former games. In the
second half the superior form Of the
Delta team began to tell and the ball
By quick, snappy plays, was taken to
within fifteen yards of the Montrose
goal when Ross Conklin took the ball
around the right end for touchdown.
On failure to kick goal the game stood
s to 0 in favor of Delta. From that
time on the Delta boys were content to
hold their husky opponents for the re-
mainder of the game. At no time dur
ing the contest was the Delta goal
seriously threatened and about twenty
five yards was as near to the coveted
point as Montrose could get.

grazing upon the forest reserves. and
Whereas, Cattle owners generally

great difficulty making ends meet, be-

STOCKMEN TO PROTEST
Mass Convention Of Stock Growers
and Farmers, GIenwood
Springs, Dec. |.

The forest reserves in the state are
crowding in upon each other and are
about to crowd out the live stock men
and make it hard for new settlers to get
land, SO a vigorous protest is to be made
against the rules of the forestry depart
ment. and justice demanded. The con-
vention is to be held in Glenwood
Springs, December 1st. The railroads
have given the special rate of one fare
for the round trip or half rate and it
includes all towns in the western part Of
the state from Durango south, to Dillon
in the north.
The reason for this convention is the
charge of 20 and so cents per head for
feeding stock on the forest reserves.
and other inconvenience to which the
settler is put to secure firewood. fence
poles or necessary timber to build a
home. The restrictions are such that
all stockmen and home builders in Colo
RADIO are interested and they are called
together to make a protest that will be
understood at Washington. and the rules
of the forest reserves moderated SO that
the state will not be stunted in its
growth. Turn out now or forever hold
your peace against any rules and regu-
lations and forest reserves.
Every stockman, whether he is of m
association or not, will have voice or
the floor.

to form her fellow workers into union.
This took time. 1t was hard to con-
vince the women that their condition
would be in any way better. And they
dreaded to enter on what seemed an un-
womanly activity. They were conserv-
ative, but wages were low and the cost
of living high At length the venture
was made and the factory was made a
union institution. Miss DAILY then made
a trade agreement with her employers
by which the price paid the operators
was raised six cents q pair, and now
the wages range from one to two dol

workers" Miss DAILY is now president

Montgomery. August 19.-(Special.)- .)-The Climbers made 1t three straights from the vaughantes today. Thanks to the poor playing of vaughans recruit at short Murch does very well long as there is no close play to handle, but his errors today were costly and paved the way for the five runs made by the locals in the fourth inning. With first-class inheld the Barons would have won today's game, hands down as McMakin, the slab artist for the locals, was not at all ef- fective.
 Young Sallee was on the firing line for the Barons and barring the fourth inning, pitched excellent ball. In this inning the locals punched hits and by the rank error of Murch, who missed thrown ball at second, succeeded in showing five men across the rubber. Things looked bright for the visitors in the first in- ming when Montgomery started things with long double to center, Niles at tempted to sacrifice and after two futile efforts hit bounder to Brouthers and Montgomery was out on the line between second and third. Niles stole second. but could not score on Daddy Vaughan's sim gle to right.
 The Barons only runs came in the sixth when Montgomery landed on first in safe- ty when Oldring fumbled his grounder. Montgomery was forced at second on Niles grounder to Oldring Vaughan hit a bounder to Mullaney and he threw to second to cut off Niles The ball got away from Oldring and Niles went to third. Horseshoe then doubled to right and Niles scored and Vaughan astchored on third. both scoring on Wagner's single to right.
 The Barons made three hits off McMa- kin in the eighth but could not get a runner across the plate. With three men on bases in this inning and two out. all that Murch could do was to lift a fly to Thornton.
 Montgomery scored one in the first on Molesworth's double and Schwartzs sim gle. Five more runs came In the fourth. when Durrett singled to left after Brouthers was out and went to second when Murch muffed an easy throw from Sallee at second. allowing Mullaney to reach first in safety and Durrett second Oldring singled to right and by fast field ing on the part of Smith, Durrett was held on third. Millerick and McMakin singled in succession on which Durrett, Mulla- ney and Oldring scored. Molesworth beat out an infield hit and Millerick scored on Thornton's long fly to center, McMa- kin coming home on Schwartz's single through short
 The last runs came in the fifth when Du-rett beat out an infield hit and stole second and came all the way home when Murch fumbled Mullaneys bounder Horseshoe Smith put up the fastest and best fielding game in right seen here this season. His return of the ball from right on two occasions holding runners on third was applauded.
