Reservoirs in FL Paso.

According to the Colorado Springs
Gazette, system for reservoirs in east
ern FL Paso county has been surveyed
by County Surveyor W. p. Woodside for
several farmers living southeast OF Cal
han. The parties interested are w. j
Park, Lem Cannon, J. G. Rodgers and
Hall brothers. Mr.. Woodside states
that the total capacity of the reservoirs
planned will be about 3,20OOOO gallons.
The idea is to store the flood water
which comes down from the mountains
in early spring and hold it in the reser-
yoirs for use in the summer. BY this
means ample water can be secured to
carry the crops of numerous farmers in
the eastern part of the county through

Telephone Exchange Needed

The Colorado Telephone Co, we be

a telephone exchange here in Elbert.
Few people realize the amount OF bust
ness daily transacted over the telephone
and it is not always convenient for all to
have to walk from one block to a half
mile to the telephone station. Nearly
every business man in town would put
in phone could they get direct con.
nections with Denver and the Springs
and an exchange would be of great con
venience to nearly every one.

Random Thoughts


The town of Calhan, over in FL Paso
county on the Rock Island railway, has
been getting more than its share OF no
toriety during the past few months,
First, woman was killed by the cars
and this was followed by the accidental
shooting OF little girl by playmate.
Next came the arrest OF a much wanted
lin Denverl alleged woman swindler, and
on Jan. ID the body OF dead man was
found on the prairie tive miles east OF
the town. Following all this second
newspaper has been started-The Divide
Farmer, and the first number was issued
last Friday. A man named johnson ~
the publisher.
After considerable study one OF our
exchanges has figured out why so many
editors get rich, and here is the secret;
child is born in the eighborhood: the
attending physician gets $40; the editor
gives the loud lunged youngster and
"happy parents" send-otf and gets 30.
When it is christened, the minister gets
$40, and the editor gets 800. 1t grows
and marries. The editor publishes an
other long winded, fiowery article, and
tells dozen lies about the "beautiful
and accomplished bride;' the minister
gets $40 and piece OF cake. and the
tttiAbi -tNH rNeJO- III COufSt VI Aiult ~
dies and the doctor gets from S25 TO 800,
the minister gets, perhaps, another Sl5.
The undertaken gets from $50 to $3.50;
the editor publishes a notice of the
death and an obituary two columns
long. lodge and society resolutions. lot
of poetry, and free card of thanks. and
gets $1,000. No wonder SO many editors
get rich.
In every newspaper we pick up we are
sure to find a gush about the man be
hind the counter and the man behind
| the gun; the man behind the buzz saw,
the man behind the son; the man be
hind the times and the man behind
his rent; the man behind the plow and
the man behind the fence; the man be-
hird the cars, the man behind the kodak
and the man behind the bars: the man
behind his whiskers, the man behind
the fist and everything has entered on
the list. But they have skipped another
fellow of whom nothing has been said
the fellow who is even or a little way
! ahead; who pays for what he gets; whose
bills are always signed he's darn
sight more important man than the man
who is behind. All we editors and mer-
chants and the whole commercial clan
are indebted for existence to this honest
fellowman. He keeps us all in business
and his town is never dead; and SO We
take our hat off to the man who is ahead.
