DENVER MARKETS

Union Stock Yards. Denver, July q.
1t was very dull last week in stock
YARDS circles and very little that Is en-
cHirsglng from the shippers point Of
view can be said about the market
me week started out with q heavy run
at all eastern points and prices went
down by jumps. The run was not
heavy here. but the market went lower
in sympathy with the general decline
at all points. until on Wednesday of.
ferings were selling here right around
0Oc lower than at the high time Of the
week before. Since then. however, the
situation has been looking better, as
receipts have been lighter on the east
ern markets, but values are still
around 25c to 35c lower than they were
at the opening of the week on beef
steers and butcher stock. while feed
ers and stockers declined about a quar-
ter. The big end Of the run here con.
sisted of beef and a good many grass
finished steers were included. Packers
we're good buyers. but they are still
able to get good many dry lot cattle
and are not taking very readily to the
grassers yet.
The hog supply has been very good
and the market active. The demand
continues very good. The week closes
with tops selling around $3.50 and the
range down to $685..
Sheep are lower in sympathy with q
big decline at all markets. There is
very little doing on this market as yet.
although good trade in feeder sheep
and lambs Is expected here this fall.
Some contracts are being made in the
country for future delivery at prices
ranging from $500 to $4.25 I. o. b. load

CLOSE CALL FOR HECK.
Man Charged With Assault on Kuntz
Burned by Electricity.

Cal Heck, the Bell telephone lineman,
who is out on bond for the attempted muir
der of w. H. Kuntz, was severely burned
yesterday afternoon at $3.50 by coming in
contact with live wire.
Heck was assisting in stringing a cable
in the alley between Harrison street and
Topeka avenue and was pole near
Sixth avenue when the accident occurred.
One of Heck's metal climbers became
entangled in the wires, forming a short
circuit. Before any of his fellow workmen
about the size of pencil burned in his left
leg TO the bone, the heel of his right foot
was burned the size of quarter where
the current had followed the course of the
steel pegs in the heel of his shoe. his
hands were covered with blisters and his
right arm was slightly burned.
I. Palmer. who lives at 603 Topeka ave-
nue., the only eye witness of the ac-
cident Palmer said: I'VE though at first
that Heck was killed: blue flames were
darting from his nostrils and he threw up
his hands, falling on the cross beam, where
he hung suspended 80 feet above the
ground In a few minutes he recovered
consciousness. He managed to extricate
himself from the wires and descended TO
the ground with very little assistance.
DIR. w. F. Bowen was summoned as soon
as Heck reached the ground and the in
jured man was removed to his home at All
East Fourth street There is nothing
serious in the case" said DIR. Bowen this
morning. But the burns will be pain

AFTER UNDERFLOW.
Government Is Working on Plans for
Garden City District.

Washington, July 1.-THE engi-
neers of the reclamation service are
engaged in investigating the feasibility
of pumping plant for the relay of the
ground water in Arkansas valley near
Deerfield, Kan, to distribute to about
10000 acres of land by a canal known
as the farmers ditch" The canal
has a maximum capacity at present of
about 200 second feet, and is used
whenever there is water in the Ar
kansas river, in the irrigation season.
but the unreliability of the present
flow of the river at that point renders
the use of the canal uncertain. Eight
thousand, six hundred acres are now
entitled to water from the Farmers
ditch but the topography is such that
the acreage could be greatly increased
provided a sufficient quantity were
available.
The engineers believe that pump
ing system can be established and
maintained above Garden City at a
reasonable cost. 1t is proposed if
practicable, to install pumping plant
to recover 100 second feet of ground
water, to be delivered into the Farm
er's ditch" about one mile northeast
of it's head gates. The plant will con-
sist of a series of pumping stations,
each diScharging into a concrete lined
flume or surface conduit which ulti-
mately will reach the main canal. The
entire plants to be operated by cleo
tricity from a central power station To-
Gated about the middle of the line of
pumping stations. Each separate
pumping station will consist of a set
of ten bored wells, connected by sue
ton pipes with a. centrifugal pump,
the suction pipes to the individual
wells to be provided with gate valves,
SO that any well may be shut off when
desired.
The wells are to be constructed in
pairs and placed as close together as
practicable. 1t is proposed to develop
a high specific capacity in those wells
by running clear water into one we'll
while the twin well five feet distant is
being vigorously pumped. Tests of the
material in the Arkansas underfloW
show that such treatment will clear
the gravel of fine material and trans
form the water bearing between the
percolating medium.
Several attempts have been made
by private and corporate capital to re-
cover the underhow by gravity, but
the history of each case, together
with the thorough investigation of the
engineers of the reclamation service to
determine the feasibility of establish
ing an inhltration gallery near Garden
City, shows the mpracticability of
such a plan. The entire pumping plant
is designed to recover an average of
100 second feet of ground water for
a period of $50 days, which is equiva-
lent to a total of 10000 acre feet for
the irrigation season. A portion of
the water recovered by the plant will
be carried under the Arkansas river by
siphon 500 feet long, with capacity
of 100 second feet.

LAUNCHING MUST STAND.
Governor Hoch VIII Let Kansas Slide
Into Water Aug. s.

There will be no change in the date
for the launching of the -battleship
Kansas. 1t will have to take place on
August s, and Governor Hoch and his
military staff will be obliged to order
their clothes accordingly.
Governor Hoch received a telegram
yesterday from the authorities to
whom he petitioEed for a stay in the
execution of the plan to have the
launching on August s. The telegram
simply stated that owing to the fact
that on August the tide would be
right for the launching, it would be
impossible to delay. Time and tide
wait for no man."
Governor Hoch has yielded the point
about champagne. He says that he.
would prefer water, but that If there
is any serious objection, he will not
make any fight on champagne. Miss
Anna Hoch, the governors youngest
daughter, will christen the boat.
