ENCOURAGE SIDEWALK BUILDING

The property owners on Seventh
Street have undertaken = very
commendable enterprise. They
propose to lay sidewalks from one
end Of the street to the other If the
city viii bring the street TO grade.
james Peityjohn and Albert
Thompson have circulated a peti-
tion among the property owners in
which it is agreed that walks be
layed this condition and nearIyevery
man On the street has signed. The
proposition was first submitted to
the Mayor who agreed to il, and
last Saturday il was presented 10
The council. Some Of the aldermen
we're inclined to hold back on the
proposition.
Now it apperrs that this is a
movement that should meet with
the most hearty encouragement
from the council and everybody
else. II appears that no great
amount Of grading will be required
and the expense to the city will not
he great. If the property owners
are willing to put down the walks
voluntarily, surely the city can az
ford to do the grading and there
should be no baking upon the
proposition.
While paving has been the para
mount 5sue in the line Of street i'm
provemenis, the sidewalk question
has remained somewhat in abey.
ance. It is time for a renwed ag;ta-
tion on the subject. Sidewalks are
just as necessary as an up to-date
city as paved streets. By all means
should the council back up the
property owners in their efforts. 1t
is not likely that the people on 9TH
er streets will allow Seventh street
to outstrip them in enterprise and
civic pride. Seventh street is set

shouIdbe emuIated by every street
in the city.

The Earth: Old Herodotus waxed
enthusiastic over an artificial lake or
reservoir in Egypt which was con-
stracted 1000 year before the Christian
era. 1t was built to catch and hold the
flood waters of the Nile in its annual
rise. and to irrigate the lower valley
later in the year The old historian es-
ed it as work greater than the
building of the pyramid of Cheops. 1t
covered $50 square miles and was IN
some places over 300 feet deep. 1t was
connected with the Nile ten miles away
by a canal 800 feet wide with gates.
The site of this ancient reservoir has
been found. 1t has been filed with silt
from the Nile; it il now a rare oasis IN
the midst of the desert and contains
400. 900 acres of rich land, valued at
$500, 900, 900. One thousand dollars per
acre is the price of irrigated land in
Egypt. The same advantages are to
be accomplished by building new res
crvoir near the old one ard raising the
Assouan dam ten feet, as was original
ly planned.

MANY FAVOR IT

Although the school meeting
in this district was not so well at
tended as it should have been,
everyone present highly favored
the organization of q county high
school and at the earliest date
possible. Several who were not
present expressed themselves as
being in favor of the move for
the advanced grades.
1t is argued that aside from
the direct benefits to be derived
by the pupils themselves, the
value of a high school to com
munity as an advertisement to
the town and county would be in
estimable. 1t is well known that
man of family will choose the
place where interest in schools is
intense. With q high school in
this county boys and girls could
remain practically at home among
good associations, instead Of 60
ing away to towns where there
are saloons with all their accom-
panying debauching influences.
By all means let US have a coun-
ty high school at the earliest pos
sib!e date. The petition OF not
less than fifty taxpayers should
be circulated and presented to the
county commissioners at their
next (July) meeting and every
step toward organizing the school
that can be taken prior to the
general election in November,
when it is proposed to bring the
proposition to vote, should be
taken, so that a county high
school in Baca county may be
born as early as possible.
1t may be possible for the
county commissioners to levy the
tax named in the petition, not
exceeding two mills, soon after
the general election in Novenl-
ber. Section PIP of the Revenue
Act reads in part: If for any
cause, the commissioners shall
not be able to levy such taxes
flor school or county purposesl
on or before the first Monday of
November, in any year, they may
make such levy at any time.

spite OF the daily visits of the birds,
but when the young of the latter were
hatched, the numbers of the beetles
began to diminish rapidly. and when
the young birds were hedged and
were brought by their parents and
placed In n row upon the fence around
the field. the insects rapidly disap-
oeared. and when | examined the field

About this time the birds began to
prey upon some peas in my garden.

the contents of Its stomach. II con.
sisted of one large green caterpillar
(Sphlngldae). several potato beetles.
and n few fragments OF peas. My
conclusion was that the few peas
taken had been well paid for. How
ever hung an old coat on n pole near
the pea vines. and the birds came
near them no more. All OF the above
observations were made In the state
of Iowa. which was one OF the first
states to suffer from the attacks of
the beetles on their eastward march.
Since then this habit of the Gros.
beak has been confirmed by thousands

try where the potato beetle and the
bird are found. AS this insect Is
eaten by but few species of birds II
is especially desirable that this one
that eats 1t so freely. should he pre-
served and It's increase be encouraged
In every possible manner. Forty
years ago this bird was rare In New
England-ln fact, was entirely un
known in many places. but II Is now
fairly abundant there. and II may be
that It has been attracted TO that
section OF the country by the pres
ence OF the potato.bectlcs. which fur
nish so large a portion of its food.
believe II Is possible to prevent It's
depredations upon peas tthc only
harm that I have ever heard It nc
cused of and It's value as an insect
destroyer forbids its wanton destruc
