MRS. DUBOIS
LECTURE.

On Wednesday evening Mrs.
Fred 7. Dubois gave a lecture at
The Armory under the auspices
of the Epworth League. Refresh
ments were served both before
and after the lecture and the pro-
ceeds of the evening were used
by the league.
Mrs. Dubois spoke from obser-
vations made during her trip to
The Orient with the Taft Party
In 1906 She spoke very interest
ingly for an hour and half, COW
ering many features of the trip.
She brot ont the fact that it was
not pleasure trip as is generally
thot, but a tour of observation
and study, entailing many hard
ships and privatlons, but having
many sunny places and enviable
experiences.
The trip impressed Mrs. Du.
bois with the thot that the work
of the United States in The Phil
ipplnes is part of The White
Mans Burden, a work of great
sacrifice to US, for which we shall
receive no particular benefit. She
calls attention to the fact that we
are building up a school system
there which is better than we have
at home, because it is done on
the objective principle in contrast
with the subjective principal-the
old ideas that PostaIozzi and Hor.
ace Mann have peen doing 80
much in their time to uproot.
1t was a very nice, instructive
lecture, and musical paris were
rendered by the Misses Rebecca
and Cassie Wright, Mrs. F. I.
Richards and W. T. Walker.

Not many people realize the gi.
gantic preparations of the project and
those who have visited the scene OF
the work have been greatly surprised
at the extent of the work.
Each spring when the high waters
come and the Grand River, as well as
the Gunnison gets way up out of It's
bank, the residents of the sections
bordering on the river have been
called upon to suffer heavy losses.
FOR years this work of destruction
has been going on but this year the
county commissioners of Mesa county
and the Denver and Rio Graude rail
road got together and decided that
something MUST be done to put a
stop to the ravages of the treacherous
waters of the silvery Grand.
The county commissioners agreed
to have the cribbing done along the
east side of the river, bordering the
property that is usually overflowed,
and to furnish the timber for the
cribbing If the railroad company
would furnish the rock. This the
railroad company agreed to do. Sew
eral weeks ago the work of cribbing
began under the direction of Mike
o'Neil, acting as foreman for the
county A large force of worlzmen
being employed. The cribbing is
now about completed and the rocks,
tons upon tons of them, are being pill
ed up along the river bank to protect
the banks and the valuable lands and
private property.
Tho big curve in the river which
has washed away acres of land near
the Jones diary will be Strengthened
out and the stream sent in a straight
course. This. as can be readily re
allied, is a task of no little proper
tions.
Owing to the fact that the rock was
slow in arriving there was great dan
ger for awhile that the high waters
of the rapidly rising Grand would
get In its disastrous work in spite of
everything but the cool weather that
came last week sent the river down
and saved the day, and now suffic-
lent headway has been gained to give
the workman a leverage over any
sudden rise.
The railroad company is bringing
the rock in from Utah and great
trainloads have arrived this week
and are being handled as rapidly as
they arrive. Scores of cars of rock
are being used.
Thousands upon thousands of dol.
lars worth of property has been de.
stroyed by the ever encroaching river
and this project of cribbing being
carried out by the county and the
railroad company is one of the mos
important safeguards ever put around
Mesa county property. The track oi
the railroad company runs along not
far from the bank that has been grad
ually eaten away and the company
realized the danger and were willing
to assist in building up the great wall
of cribbing.
The cribbing will last for years
and the people in that section of the
city and county most vitally affected
each spring when the waters climb
higher and the waves cut into the
rancehs and dooryards, will breathe
easier in the future.

THE CANON CITY CROP.

A report from Canon City states
that 1t is estimated by the fruit
growers in the Canon City country
that the apple crop will show a loss
of more than 60 per cent while the
cherries and similar small fruits are
thought to be totally destroyed.
Reports from the sugar beet fields
along the path of the storm indicate
that the loss has not been great as the
snow protected the small plants from
the frost. Wherever the snow drifted
leaving the plants exposed the cold
did damage but for the
most part the fields were well cover
ed with natures blanket.
