The Alamosa Reservoir COM
pany, of which S. $. Bernard, of
Colorado Springs, is the head, un-
derwent decided change as to
the management, this week, when
W. o. Mieir retired as general
manager and w. NJ. Bainbridge,
of Cripple Creek, was placed at
the helm. Mr.. Mieir has conduct
ed the work for the past two years
and has succeeded in getting all
of the preliminary work, as well
as good portion of the dam CON-
pleted. The Chronicle was unable
to learn the particulars leading up
to the change, but was informed
that Mr.. Mieir is out and that the
new management will push the
completion of the reservoir with
all possible haste, endeavoring to

Mrs. NJ. E. Mosier received her
commission as postmistress of La

gives general satisfaction among
the patrons of the office. Hereaf-
ter, those having lock boxes will be
able to get their mail at all hours
during Sunday as the outer Office
will be left open.
The safety fiume put in over the
big Alamosa river reservoir dam
came in in good play for several days
during the high water last week.
The drainage tunnel proved in
capable of carrying the stream and
at one time the water rushing
through the hume and over the
dam was two feet or more deep.
Had not the tiume been there, the
dam would have been completely
washed out.
