Poor Honey Crop in TexaA

The honey crop in Uvalde county Is
almost complete failure this spring,
and some apiarists who have hitherto
shipped 400 or 500 cases will hardly
get more than 20 or % cases at best
The long siege of rainy weather just
when the catclaw and guajilla were in
bloom caused the failure. However.
there will be considerable honey made
from the mesquite blossoms. but this
is of inferior quality. There can be
10 complaint on other crops. The

CANAL COMPANY SHUT OUT
Ruling of the Interior Department
Against Proposed Reservoir on
Elk Creek, Colorado.

Denver, Feb. 1.-THE state auditors
office received information today of a
ruling concerning f1Ood-waters in Colo
RADIO which. it is believed. will bar in
dividuals and irrigation companies
from using the f1Ood-waters in this
state under certain conditions. Re
Gently the Elk Creek Canal company
made application for the right to con-
struct a reservoir site on Elk creek in
Conejos county, the location OF the
proposed site being on government
land. The interior department refused
the application because, as stated in a
letter conveying the decision Of the
department, the storing of water on
Elk creek would interfere with the flow
in the Rio Grande in New Mexico and
lessen the supply of water running into
the Eagle dam, one of the irrigation
projects the government is preparing
to construct on the Rio Grande. The
decision is interpreted here as mean
ing that no reservoirs can be con-
structed on streams in Colorado that
are feeders for rivers either in or out
Of the state where the government pro-
poses to build reservoirs for irrigation
purposes and is accepted az meaning
that the southern California irrigation
project prohibits the building of reser-
voirs on the Grand and other rivers in
Colorado that are sources Of supply OF
the Colorado river.

REMOVAL OF TEACHER.
Had Smallpox or Chicken Pox and In.

At the meeting of the board of educa-

reported cash on hand of S32, 1915.
Considerable discussion was held over
the removal of Miss Annie Christensen.
one of the teachers of the Central school.
who was reported to be suffering from
an attack of smallpox. The indicat tons
of the disease were discovered while Miss
Christensen was on duty, and her re-
moval was ordered by the sanitary in
spector. There seems to be some d.
vision of opinion as 10 whether or not
the case is one of smallpox or one of
chicken pOx. The sanitary committee re
ported that they had as a precautionary
measure ordered the building fumigated
and the pupils vaccinated.
The superintendent monthly report
was received and showed the enrolment
for the month as being 4,245 with an
average daily attendance of 4,116. The
percentage Of punctuality was almost 100.
and twenty-five children were absent
during the month on account of conta-
gious diseases. The number of re-entries
was 1913.
