New Road for Western Slope.

Grand Junction, Colo.-Interurban
electric connection between Grand
Junction, Palisades, Fruita and all
other towns of importance in the
Grand valley is one of the possibilities
in the formation of the Electric Il
Hydraulic Company, incorporation ma
pers for which were recorded here. The
capital stock is 100000. and the incor
porators are chiefly capitalists of Col
orado Springs. They include John
Hays Hammond John S. Bartlett, lrv-
ing w. Bonbright, Henry Hine, Leon
ard E. Curtis and others.
There has long been an agitation for
a trolley system throughout the valley
and as this new company is said to be
affiliated with the Northern Colorado
Power Company, in which former Gov
ernor Herrick of Ohio and other
wealthy Eastern men are interested, 1t
is believed the new company has this
end in view. The incorporation pa.
pers state that the company intends
first promoting power and electric rail
way schemes in Colorado, particularly
in dormant localities. later operating
in the various states and territories
and in Old Mexico.
1t is thought that the company in.
tends establishing suburban railway
system in this valley and which will
also extend into Utah, opening q rich
copper district which is now remote
from railroad facilities.

Newspaper Reports.
Washington-Secr Wilson was
again upon the witness stand in the
trial of f. S. Holmes, Jr He was ques-

progress to suppress information given
him at the time of Holmes dismissal
from the Department of Agriculture
Regarding the formal statement CIV

ment which was signed by him, but
that 1t was the report Of the secret

Holmes case. He declared that he had
made no arrangement or pledge with
Broker Van Ripper for the suppression
of names.
Mr.. Worthington asked the witness
why he had given the secret service
report to the public to the prejudice of
Mr. Holmes.
Counsel for the government objected
but the question was admitted and the
secretary replied:

Mr. Wilson's violation of is own rules
in the matter of prematurely giving
out information and in support of his
theory, quoted an interview given out
by the secretary last fall in regard to
the prospective production of macaroni

remember the interview but that even
if he had made this statement it would
not be in violation of the rule of Sc
crecy. that the violation of the rule
was question of the premature giving
out of information that comes to the

any of his predictions concerning the

Brown Palace Contest Closed.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-The long
drawn-out and bitterly contested legal
battle for possession of the Brown Pal
ace hotel in Denver was practically set
tied when papers were filed with Pro-
bate Judge Robert Kerr, giving TO
James H. Brown what is really an OPP
ton on the property for himself and
other heirs of II. C. Brown. at $765. 1000.
Mr.. Brown has until August 1st 10

he must realize $765,000 or better. and
anything in excess of that sum is TO

Held Up for Water.

About 5000 square miles of this
valley, or say 100000 acres, is fertile,
cultvable soil, with the aid of irriga-
ton. And the government steps in
and says, No more reservoirs for you.
We want the water to run on past you
and to irrigate southern New Mexico
and Texas"
In the past five years the parcels of
land in the valley already reclaimed
have exactly doubled in total value.
Instead Of spending $1,000, 900 for a res
ervoir to help Mexico this govern
ment could buy all the Mexican land
to which water rights are in dispute,
for probably 100000, or little more
that one years interest on the reser-
Volr investment.
The proposition is simply this: The
reclamation service is spending mil
lions of government money to help
states and parts of states which con-
tribute practically nothing from gov
eminent lands to the government,
while Colorado and other western
commonwealth have for years been
pouring money from public lands into
the general treasury.
AS an instance, the reclamation
service is expanding at least 100000
vi Single enterprise tlaU VIII not re-
deem to exceed 100000 acres, whereas
the farmers and residents of San Luis
valley are willing to eXpend their
own money to redeem a much larger
acreage by the use of what would ap-
pear to be their own water; the laws of
the federal government permit such a
course explicitly, but the SECRETARY of
the interior is seemingly trying to OBJ
struct and prevent the latter in their
most commendable work.

DYPH1AER|A At TURTLE
RIVER; SCHOOLS CLOSED
County Physician Finds Family Afflicted
With Dyphtheria and Many Exposed
to Disease.

DR.. F. A. Blakeslee, county
physician, returned this morning
from Turtle River, where he was
called last evening to look after
some dyphtheria cases of serious
nature.
The doctor states that he visited
the home of Joseph Chounard, where
he found that girl 9 years old was
dead, having died several hours
previous to his arrival, from dyph.
liberia. The doctor also found that
several other members of the Chou
nard family were afflicted with the
dyphtheria in malignant form.
The doctor investigated the case
and found that some members of the
family had recently come to Turtle
River from Little Falls, at which
place they had been i'll with dyph-
liberia and had not fully recovered
when they came to Turtle River,
and also that they had not been
fumigated. The other members of
the family have been exposed to
those who returned from Little Falls
ten days ago.
DR.. Blakeslee took prompt. action
in the cases and, after finding that
the children had been at school and
that several other families had been
exposed to the dyphtheria he ordered
the school closed and the homes of
the families exposed quarantined.
The girl that died had been sick
only thirty-six hours.
