PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS
FOR MOUNTAIN WATER

Nothing has been done by the city
council for long time that has com
mended itself more strongly to the
public than the steps taken by II last
Monday night looking to the acQuisi-
tion OF a supply of mountain water.
While the water used by the people
of Canon City for drinking purposes is
not as bad as 1t might be. and is, per-
haps no worse than that used by other
communities In the country, It is not
good enough for people who will be
satisfied with nothing but the best.
Water in this western country is be-
coming more valuable 9very year and
the time is not very remote until It
will be practically impossible to pro-
cure II for municipal purposes. and
for this reason many people are In fa-
vor of cornering the sources of supply
whenever II may be done at anything
like reasonable figure.
1t is an asset that can not be taken
away and must appreciate In worth
as the country settles up and the de-
mand for II increases.
MIR. Phillips report that II will prob
ably require an outlay of something
like $s60.o00 or 100000 to give Canon
City supply of mountain water may
be little appalling at FIRST, but on
analysis II does not seem 30 big. par
ticularly when the benefits the COM
munity will derive from such an enter
prise are considered. II is. at least.
not quite prohibitive and might be a
good Investment for the city to make.
that being matter for experts to de-
termine.
II would seem from Mr.. Phillips In
veetigation that Canon City has not a
great many sources Of s1pply, and that

There are many towns. no larger than
Canon City either in population or in
wealth. that would willingly pay the
amount OF Mr.. Phillips estimate for a
supply of mountain water, but whether
such an expenditure would be expedi-
ent for this city to make at the present
time is matter for the council to
settle
Most Canon City people are boosters
and those who are not ought to be, and
have an abiding faith in the future of
the community. They believe the city
will have a population of 10000 within
the next six years and think that in
view of the prospective development
here the people can well afford to
spend large sum of money for noun
tain water.
The Cottonwood creek flow appears
to be ample for the needs of city of
1000 people and the action of the city
council In ordering preliminary sur
vey looking to possible utilization of
Its waters for the use of this city will
meet with general appreciation.
Cañon City record., 1906-08-09

In the vicinity of Canon City for the
purpose of advising you as to the best
source to obtain gravity supply of
pure mountain water for your city.
In the course of my examination
have visited the streams known as
Currant Creek and tributaries on the
north of the Arkansas river and all
the streams on the south of the river
from Howard creek to Grape creek
Currant creek and its stributaries-Cot-
tonwood and 31-Mile creeks-have
their source in low mountains and the
ordinary surface flow is quite small.
Grape and Texas creeks have their
source OF supply in the Sangre de
Christie range, but their waters flow
through a farming and stock raising
country with many chances of pollu-
ton before reaching Canon City.
In many respects an ideal source of
supply was found in Cottonwood creek,
a stream that has its source of supply
in the Sangre de Christie range and
empties into the Arkansas river at a
doout dDof6 SOtO-
paxi, or about 33 miles above Canon
City. l visited this stream July z, 1906,
and while / did not gauge it, / am of
the opinion that II was discharging Is
cubic feet of water per second. The
drainage area of this stream faces the
north. insuring an evenly distributed
run-on
1t was realized that any plan thlt
contemplated the construction OF a
pipe line OF fume through the Royal
Gorge might possibly require such an
penditure as to make IL prohibitive,
SO an examination was made with
view of avoiding this location IL Cot
tonwood creek was selected.
Two days were consumed in taking
levels. which demonstrated that 1t
would be possible to carry pipe line
over Webster Park No survey has
been made. so that the exact length of
pipe line or cost can not be given.
am of the opinion that it would ap-
proximate 40 miles in length and cost
from sS5o.ooe TO 100000 dollars.
am of the opinion that the Cottonwood
location appears SO favorable that 1t
would justify your council in having

of the troubles between Austria and Hum

a recent pitched battle between the poach-
ers and the keepers of one OF the Crown
forests the keepers, who were secreted be-
hind earthworks escaped almost without
injuries, but more than a score Of the
poachers were shot down and captured.
Some days ago the same men carried out
a regular drive of game in the Aga for

and is famous for it's deer. On that occa-
sion the archduke's gamekeepers opened
fire upon them and the poachers replied.

slightly wounded. The captive was lodged

PREFERENCE FOR THE EMPIRE

SYDNEY April 7.-(specal Cablegram

be extended to British ship owners and
producers on the basis that the ships shall
be manned by a substantial proportion OF
British citizens, or shall be carrying car
goes of which a substantial proportion
shall be of British manufacture or origin
The commission also suggests that as a
matter which affects the whole of the en-
pire the nature and the extent of the
preference shall be considered at the pro-
posed imperial shipping conference. The
commission finds that British seamen are
disappearing and recommends numerous
drastic reforms with Q view to the i'm
provement of their condition.
The formation of an Australian royal
naval reserve and the establishment Of
seagoing training ships for boys are also
suggested, and 1t is recommended that il is
