On last Monday the town of .Fruita
held a special election to decide the
question Of issuing bonds to cover the
cost of putting in mountain water
system. There we're 1877 votes cast
for the bonds and none against.
Water will be secured from springs on
Pinon mesa. at distance of IA miles
from Fruita. 1t is thought the sup
ply of water is sufficient for 15, 900 or
20, 900 people. The amount of bonds
is not to exceed $s5, 900. Enough peo-
pie have already signed up for water
to make the monthly income $685.
and this amount will probably reach
$500. No difficulty is apprehended
in the sale of the bonds. .-Palisade

We are told by the officers Of the
PaIisade irrigation district that the
new machinery for the pumping plant
has been purchased, portion of
which will be delivered by the mid
die of February and the balance by
March ]. This machinery consists
of one 45 inch Samson turbine water
wheel and two 1s,inch Eyron jackson
centrifugal pumps specially designed
and built for the Palisade irrigation
district, for lift of 40 feet, includ-
ing friction, thereby giving the high
est percentage of efficiency possible.
Tuesday morning concreting was
again commenced on the retaining
walls just above the power house, and
the weather permitting these will
soon be completed -Palisade Tri-

This year the most momentous
election ever held in the state of Col
orado will take place. This is a re
publican paper-a republican paper
that yields second place to no paper
in the state in its loyalty to repubIi
can principles and decent republican
candidates, but we herewith serve no.
tice that every candidate expecting
the support of this paper must have
a clean bill-no candidates will get
the support of this paper just because
they may be fortunate enough to get
republican nomination. We are af-
ter no offices ourselves and there is
not Hinsdale county Office that could
he delivered to us on a silver platter
studded with diamonds, but we intend
that all of those who have knitted de-
cent republicans in the past and then
paraded as the only simon pure shall
make good. This is rs plain as any
one should ask for, but if anything
palmer is required. we still have
few jolts of double distilled English
left.-Lake City Times.
To keep up land by rotation of
crops is process that has been prov.
en- to be economical and effective, and
has been followed religiously by the
farmers around Longmont for years.
To put the ground in good condition
with alfalfa crops takes several ears.
and now that the value of land for
the growing of sugar beets and peas is
so much more than for many other
crops that the farmers find it rather
annoying to have the ground too long
in alfalfa. Bob Linton, who has
been figuring upon the alfalfa ques-
tion, has hit upon a plan that will
very much reduce the length cf time
that the ground should be carried in
alfalfa. His plan is to get good
stand of alfalfa and then turn under
the second crop of the first year of
good stand. By adopting this plan
two years will turn the trick. The
idea being that the green alfalfa turn
ed under will bring up the land fast
er than continued cultivation in
alfalfa. .-Longmont Times
There are so many strangers around
town pointing here and there that we
are a little nervous for fear that they
are planning raid on the bank. Our
fears may be groundless and We hope
they are. Perhaps they have discov-
cred that Clifton is located in an
area of the best part of the Grand val
ley. The elevation is the highest be-
tween Palisade and Grand Junction.
The soil of this and the surrounding
country is deep sandy loan and is
verv productive, making it all ideal
site for town. Looking south from
Main street the Grand and Orchard
mesas present beautiful view, with
forest of orchards as far as you ca n
see up and down the valley. In the
background, short distance from
