THE COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

The officers of the Fremont County
Sunday School Association held very
interesting business meeting last Mon
day evening at the home of the presi-
dent, Professor l.. d. Eichhorn, six
members of the committee being pres
ent. Many helpful suggestions were
offered and plans were made for a
vigorous winter and spring campaign.
The committee desires that every
Sunday school in the county shall be
represented in the state work with a
pledge of at least one dollar, as we'll
as represented by at least one delegate
TO the county and state conventions
both of which promise to be the best
in the history of the Sunday school
work in the county and state.
An invitation was extended to the
committee from the Methodist Sunday
school of Florence asking that the
county convention be held there early
in May. This invitation was accepted.
Professor Eichhorn suggested that
"a Sunday school workers circulating
library be started for the benefit OF
the Sunday school workers OF the
county. Each member of the commit
tee present pledged one dollar to start
with. Let the good work go on. Who
will be next?
Plans are being made for paper
TO be published by the county for the
benefit of all who are interested in
the great Sunday school movement in
this county. Here is just a few of the
things that have been done by the
members of the Association since last
May. Letters written, lis; calls made.

the length OF the ditch, the character
of the soil through which the ditch
runs and the prevailing temperature.
the losses from evaporation and seep-
age would be greater In this case than
is usual with Colorado ditches. Yet
the exceptional measures that are be-
ing taken by the Fuel and Iron COM
pany to insure the full use of Its ap-
preparation from the river are an In.
dication OF what is likely to become
the general practice as result of the
rapidly increasing value Of water
rights In Colorado.
A doubtful value may be gained
from the moisture that is permitted
10 pass into the air through evapora-
ton, and small portion OF the water
that goes into the ground through the
sides and bottom Of the ditches may
possibly -reappear upon the surface
unfsr conditions that permit Of bene-
ficial use But such an application OF
the water supply is too waste full and
uncertain to be continued for long
time In state where the practice Of
irrigation is being developed under the
conditions OF a practical and exact
science.-Pueblo Chieftau.

by Joseph Pritchard and about twenty
other ranchmen on Beaver creek in
August, 1904, and against the city of
Colorado Springs, which was attempt
ting to divert water from the head of
the creek. The Springs gets it's water
supply from Lake Moraine. Pixies
Peak, and Middle Beaver creek is the
outlet of the lake. The Springs coun-
cilmen came over to Beaver creek and
bought three rights with total of
about three feet of water. They in
tended to divert this water from Lake
Moraine and to that purpose con-
structed long tunnel to tap the bot
tom of the lake and allow the water
to go on the east slope of the range.
When the tunnel was about completed
the ranchmen stopped the work with
an Injunction and then filed suit. They
claim that Colorado Springs could take
too much water as no accurate meas
urement could be kept on this big tun-
mel, and consequently their ranches
would suffer. The case has not been
decided in the court and Devine wants
to get the suit in the hands of his
company and the Pueblo Light and
Traction company, which has large in
terests on the creek.

PREPARING FOR A BIG
OUTPUT AT COAL CREEK

The Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany has Just finished installing a
steam box car loader at the chutes of
it's Coal Creek mine The apparatus
works automatically and consists of
big scoop which lifts the coal from
the middle of the car and carries it
to either end desired and a plunger
then takes 1t from the scoop and
lodges it. The coal is not broken dur
ing this process. More cars can be
loaded daily by the aid of this new
machine, which takes the place of six
men.
Charles Cowan of Coal Creek, who is
operating small coal mine near the
Old Slope, is driving another tunnel
near the present workings. He has
five-foot vein of coal there and expects
to have the new mine open and in
operation within another month.

Will TAKE OUT THIRD RAIL
FROM PUEBLO TO SALIDA

1t is now understood that the work
of removing the narrow gauge rail on
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
will be commenced as soon as the men
start rebuilding the track between Pu-
eblo and Florence, where important
line changes are to be made. Parties
of surveyors have been in the field
running lines for the new track and 1t
is said that when this is installed the
third rail out of Pueblo will be discon-
tinued. The men laying the new track
will take up the third rail between
Pueblo and Florence and the remain
ing track from Florence to Salida is
to be removed by the section gangs
under the supervision of Roadmaster
MCGUIRE.
When the third rail between Pueblo
and Salida is put out of existence the
last marks of the early railroad his
tory of Pueblo will be entirely obliter-
ated. Some time ago the narrow gauge
round house was razed to the ground
and there remains in the local yards
only few narrow gauge tracks and
but one narrow gauge train is oper-
ated each way daily between Pueblo
and Salida.
1t is said that when the tracks for
the new shops are laid there will be
no third rail used, which shows con-
clusively that wherever it is possible
to do SO the narrow gauge line will be
discontinued. Quite naturally there
are some portions of the road which
wind about mountains and huge cliffs
where broad gauge track could not
be laid and the narrow gauge line will
be continued. But in all other cases
it will be done away with.-Pueblo
