The special committee of the Synod
of Colorado, which met at Colorado
Springs last Friday for the purpose
OF locating the proposed Presbyterian
college adjourned without doing any
thing of a decisive character other
than to postpone the question of To-
cation until next October, when the
committee will again assemble with
a view of its determination.
An enthusiastic session of the com
mittee was held at the Alamo hotel in
Colorado Springs last Friday and an
organization effected with the Rev.
j. l.. Weaver, d. D., chairman, and the
Rev Edgar w. Work, secretary. Rep
resentatives from Denver. Delta,
Canon City, Grand Junction, La Junta
Rocky Ford and Pueblo appeared be-
fore the committee and explained the
propositions submitted by their res
pective committees.
A subcommittee will be sent to ex-
anime conditions in the cities which
wish to secure the college, and will re-
port at the next meeting of the COM
mittee in October. Until this COM
mittee has reported concerning the
value OF the offers Of the contesting
towns, as regards building sites. cash
bonuses and support, NO prediction
can be safely made as to the probable
location of the college.
1t is understood that Canon City has
a fighting chance for securing the col
lege, but the outlook is not as optimis-
tic as it might be owing to the bigger
financial inducements held out by
Denver and Pueblo. The locating
committee is composed of the follow
ing members: ]. w. Skinner, D. D.,

MELTING SHOWS MAKE THE
ARKANSAS RIVER A TORRENT

The Arkansas river has been slowly
but steadily rising since the beginning
of the warm weather couple of weeks
ago and is now raging torrent The
rise is due to the melting snow on the
mountains which form the western
rim of the Arkansas watershed. The
water is now within eighteen or twen-
ty inches of the record mark made at
this time last year when thousands
of dollars of damage was done. There
is not as much snow in the mountains
now as there was twelve months ago
and no serious damage is anticipated
from high water in the river.
