Dry Farming Popular.

The big crops on the plains of
eastern Colorado are attracting much
attention over the country and the
dry farming advocates are blowing
the horn for all there Is In 1t and
the real estate boom is booming as
never before. While thorough till
age methods have had much to do
with the good crops, the real secret
of the great success In most instances
has been the timely rains. Dry
farming methods are good thing.
but it takes water to raise crops and
the first drouth year that comes will
test the Campbell system. There
has been so much said about dry"
farming that some people actually
believe that crops can be produced
without moisture. In a few Sec
tions, where they have experience,
the thorough tillage system of con-
serving the little rainfall there is,
has been reduced to science. In
most sections, however, the farmers

Greeley's Lady Farmer.

1t may not be generally known
that Greeley can boast of the first
scientific lady farmer in the state,
but such is the case. Mrs. Louise
Palmer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
r. Whiteman, occupies the unique
and altogether remuneratiye position
of travelling lecturer for the Scientific
Farming association of Denver. She
took regular course of study pre-
paratory for the position, principally
along the line Of the Campbell sys-
tenn of dry farming. Her lectures
are given before commercial clubs
and boards Of trade and her territory
so far has been west and south. She
has recently returned from a two
months tour through New Mexico
and Texas. Through her efforts ex-
perimental farms have been estab-
lished at Las Vegas, N. NJ, and
Trinidad, Colo. There is also a
farm at Bennett, Colo. She says
the system she represents is the only
one and is bound to revolutionize
farming.
Mrs. Palmer is also editor Of the
woman's department of the Scientific
Farmer, magazine published In

Wanted Coffee.

Saturday evening about seven
O'Clock a tramp walked into the kit
chen at DIR. Laws residence and de-
manded coffee. The doctor and Mrs.
Law informed him that they were
not in the habit of serving refresll-
ments on such orders and that he was
privileged, even urged to retire.
This he positively refused to do at
first, but when Sheriff Florance ap-
peared on the scene, changed his
mind. At the Jail he gave the name
of John Laben. He was not hungry,
as he carried a bag of sandwiches
with him. Sheriff Florance believes
him to be dope fiend: He claimed
to be sick Monday and was allowed
to take rest in Jail for an indefinite
time before being arraigned.

Peculiar Accident at Windsor.

Ward Laybourn, one of the most
popular boys in Windsor, met with a
peculiar and very painful accident at
the sugar factory Tuesday afternoon.
He was clearing out some rubbish
on the second floor of the engine
room and throwing 1t to the ground
through doorway. A nail protrud-
ing from plank, which he was
throwing through this doorway.
caught him in the clothing, and
before he could extricate 1T he was
catapaulted to the ground fifteen feet
below. He struck on his head and
hands and the fearful impact broke
both of his wrists about an inch
above the wrist joint.
The lad was Immediately taken
to his home and medical assistance
summoned. 1t was first thought
that his back was severely injured,
but this morning 1T is not thought
this phase of the accident Is more
than bad strain.
That the boy was not instantly
killed is a wonder to those who
were on the scene of the accident
AS 1t Is 1t will be many weary weeks
before he can resume his work.

CAN'T ENJOIN
LOWER PLATTE AND BEAVER
VS.. JACKSON LAKE co.
Interesting Water Case Heard by
Judge Garrigues in This
City on Saturday of
Last Week

AL INJUNCTION case, Lnau oil uhe |
Lower Platte s. Beaver Canal Co. |
ct al against the Jackson Lake Re-
servior & Irrigation Co. ct al,
brought from Morgan county was de-
cided by Judge Garrigues in cham
bers Saturday, by the denial of the
temporary injunction.
The case is typical of water cases
generally, in that the plaintiffs con-
sidered themselves defrauded of their
rights, and the defense took the op-
posite view. This particular case
stands virtually as follows:
The Lower Platte g. Beaver Canal
%. was organized in 1908. Seven
hundred people bought water rights,
on basis of a million cubic feet per
right. The reservoir was completed
in 1904 and became the property of
the jackson Lake Reservoir s. Irri-
cation Co., the interests OF the 100
water right owners being transfer
red to that company without change
of basis. The new company pro-
ceeded to sell $50 more water. rights
on the same basis, making 1850
claims for million cubic feet each.
The first survey of the reservoir gave
it an estimated capacity of l,S00,-
600, 600 cubic feet, which would
have been more than enough to sup
ply the 1850 water right holders at
q million each; but unfortunately
the final survey, owing to change of
banks and specifications, only gave
I /, 55O, ,o00,0O0 cubic feet capacity, just
enough to supply the rights already
sold, when filed to the limit. Next
cam the state engineer and put his
veto upon the filling OF the reservoir
to a greater depth than twenty-six
feet, when it was built to carry
something over thirty, which re-
duced the capacity to 100, 600, 900,
making it impossible for the COM
pany to furnish a million cubic feet
to each right holder.
In this emergency the company
pro- rated to all right holders alike,
but now comes the original seven
hundred, claiming that as they were
the original holders their million
each should be measured out before
pro. rating began, hence the injunc-
tion suit to restrain the company
from pro-rating before this was done.
And here is the defense which Judge
Garrigues considered sufficient to
warrant denial Of the prayer OF the
original seven hundred:
First: That the original seven
hundred understood from the first
that the million cubic feet each was
a basis of estimate to be reached in
the ultimate, but not necessarily I'M
mediate, that in the building OF a
reservoir with that capacity the
terms OF the agreement with water
right holders was fulfilled as far as
could be at the present time; that
as the reservoir was only completed
IN 1904 and carried water for the
first time in 1905, sufficient time had
not yet been given for the testing OF
its walls, conduits, etc, and that as
soon as possibly could be 1t would
be given its full capacity, at which
time each and every right holder
would receive his full million each.
