Death of Mrs. Prime

Mrs. Harry E. Prime died in Glen
wood Wednesday afternoon from
pneumonia. Mrs. Prime has been
ailing for several weeks but her
friends did not consider her condition
as serious until the last few days
when she was taken worse and all
efforts to prolong her life weIe futile.
Deceased was a daughter of T. N.
Tinsley of Spring Gulch, a young
woman much loved by all who knew
her. Only two years ago as Miss
Nellie Tinsley she was married to
Harry Prime and the couple have
lived principally in CaIdiff since chat
time but for some weeks have made
their home in Glen wood where Mr..
Prime is employed by the Rio Grande
railroad.
Mrs. Prime was a member of the
Women Of Woodcraft. the Ladies' of
The sfaoeaUses and Pythian Sis
ters, all of which societies partici-
pated in the funeral which was held
yesterday afternoon from ST. Barna-
bas Episcopal church.

-Four Down with the Crib

Tuesday morning William J. Dur.
kee. locomotive fireman, passed
through Glenwood as passenger on
Rio Grande train No. 3 bound from
Grand Junction to his home in Dem
yer. Soon after leaving Glenwood he
missed his suit case and at Minturn
wired Sheriff Zimmerman of his loss.
That evening the sheriff and his
deputy made search of the yards in
West Glenwood and found a quartette
of Weary Willies, one of wnom was
carrying Durkee's suit case. Zim
pinched the four and when he put
them through the sweating process
they claimed the grip was given them
by two other fellows. and they de-
scribed the two SO we'll that the sher-
iff soon brought them in. too. One
of these wore a blue flannel shirt
taken from Durkee's grip but ex-
planned tnat it was given him by the
other fellows.
The last two arrested told a
straight story and we're turned loose
but the Others were given a hearing
before Justice Hedden on Thursday
morning.
They gave their names as A. NJ.
nead, Thomas Ryan, John McNulty
and James Harrety, and letters IN
their possession indicated that these
names are correct. They are not of
the hardened criminal type and this
experience may prove lesson to them
for the future. The judge sentenced
each to board with Zimmerman 10
days.

County Commissioners

The county commissioners were In
session four days this week but aside
TO listening to objections and sugges-

Ed. McLearn and R. e. Brenton

of the ilrigating streams is absolutely
dependent on the preservation of the
forest watersheds.
In letter to Hon. Edward T. Tay-
Tor, of Glenwood Springs, Colorado
concerning the rumored charge for
water for irrigation, Forester Pinchot
says that hs does not believe that
there ever should be, or ever will be,
cnarge for water for irrigation.
The erroneous report was founded
on misrepresentation regarding the
charges which electric power compan-
les are required to pay for use and
occupancy of lands in the national
forests for reservoir sites, conduit
rights of way and power stations.
This charge is solely for the use of
the lands. based on their value for
such purposes, and is not in any sense
a charge for water. The appropria-
tion and use of water is regulated
solely by the Gtate and the forest SER
vice has no jurisdiction in the matter.
In the case of irrigation projects,
the forest service does not even charge
for the use of lands for reservoirs and
canals Hundreds of permits have
been issued by the forester to occupy
and use national forests lands for irri-
agtion reservoirs and conduits, and
such permits are always granted free

No CHARGE for Water

The farmers of the West have been
greatly alarmed in the last few weeks
by the persistent circulation of re.
port to the effect that the administra
tion was preparing to make charge
fo- water derived from the national
forests and used for irrigation and
other general purposes. The report,
ii appears, has not the slightest basis
Of fact, and has been denied by the
officials of the forest service.
People of the sections of the West
where irrigation has been such an i'm
portant factor in development were
naturally much concerned in the ru-
mored charge for water coming from
the national forests.
The interests of people concerned
with forestry and irrigation are much
the same, as the steady flow Of most

A Sudden Death

Last Sunday afternoon Leslie, the
little eight-year- old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles w. Darrow, died from
uraemic poisoning after an illness of
but few hours. Mr.. Darrow left
home about noon to go to Red Cliff,
Dr. Clark having been called but a
short time before.
Soon after Mr.. Darrows departure
the doctor found that the child's con-
dition was dangerous and two other
physicians were called but in spite of
their combined efforts the little fell
low soon expired. When Mr.. Darrow
reached Red Cliff he found a message
conveying the sad news and he re-
turned home on the nsxt train.
The funeral service was held at the
family residence Tuesday afternoon
conducted by Rev. B. L. Rice Of the
Presbyterian church. A choir con
sisting Of Mrs. Beardsley. Mrs. Filter,
MIR. French and MI. Dickson sang a
couple of appropriate selections.
The large attendance of citizens
and the numerous floral pieces at.
tested the friendship for the family
and the sympathy which was extended
to them. Interment WAS ir Rosebud
cemetery.

PLANS TO ENTERTAIN VISITORS

The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was neld Monday eve
ming and it proved an interesting ses
sion.
After the various official reports
had been presented letter was read
from Senator DeLong concerning his
property on Cooper avenue, but it
was stated the property had been pur-
chased by H. R. Kamm who would
make the nee essary repairs and no
further action was taken
A letter was read from the Grand
Junction chamber of commerce con-
corning special trains from Fruita to
Gienwood; also letters from the Iail-
road officials in regard to the matter.
Considerable discussion ensued and
finally Trustee Clark and H. a. Over
beck were appointed committee to
arrange for special tlains and special
attractions for visitors.
Ollie Thorson asked for an appropri
alton of 800 to entertain the state as
sociation of postmasters who will
meet here in annual convention the
day preceding Strawberry Day. Fred
Ewing said if the town entertained
the postmasters, he would ask for like
generosity for the state convention of
druggists. The trustees announced
their inability to do much toward en-
tertaining visitors and finally agreed
to give $50 toward each of these con
ventions.
Mr.. Hughes having requested the
town to vacate the building now used
for council chamber, Jail cells and
hose house, the building committee
was instructed to close contract
with William Dougan for his upper
stole building at $500 per annum. the
rental heretofore agreed upon.
Mr.. Overlook of the bureau of pub
licity made an interesting report con
cerning his work telling of the many
letters of inquiry ne has received and
answered ard there was general
opinion that the advertising done in
behalf of the town is bringing good
returns.
A letter was read from State Dairy
Commissioner Bishop asking that the
town authorities cooperate with his
Office in protecting the milk supply
from adulteration or the use of pre-
servatives. After some discussi on OF
the matter Mayor Schwarz agreed tc

CARVED up IN
SALOON ROW
Tom Brown ReSentS the Suggestion
That He Go Home, and Pro-
CeedS to Carve Tom
Sedton, His Advisor
VICTIM WILL PROBABLY RECOVER

Wednesday afternoon in Quinn 8
saloon on River Front Tom Seaton
and Tom Brown engaged in drunken
row which almost ended Seaton s
earthly career. There is little au
thentic information concerning the
cause and nature of the scrap except
that woman with whom it is said
Brown has been living came to the
back door of the saloon and tried to
get Brown to go home. if. indeed, he
has any conception of the meaning of
that magic word. Brown said he
would obey the orders of the raven
locked Delilah, but remarked that
before going he would engage in a
little pastims for the amusement of
the bystanders even to cutting Seat
on's head from his great, strong body.
Suiting the action to the word.
Brown drew knife from his pocket,
deliberately opened it. whetted it a
couple times on his boot and started
after his victim. Just what Seaton
was doing while all these warlike
preparations were under way has not
been made known. Anyway, he per-
mitted Brown to land two or three
ugly stabs with the knife and then he
grabbed two by four scantling and
put Brown out of comm ission until
Marshal Malaby came along and he
soon was consigned to the sorrow
haven on Grand avenue.
Seaton. reeking with gore and bub
bling over with profanity, fitting
advertisement for the place, was
placed on one of the card tables and
DR.. Rosenberg did his best to staunch
the flow of blood which threatened
very soon to prepare the burly fellow
for roll call across the river.

top and back of the head and several

cover.
Seaton and his partner, Tom Cur
rams, have been working in tunnel
on the Moffat road near Toponas until
recently when they finished their con-
tract and came down to Shoshone for
work. They thought they would
spend few days in Glenwood before
starting on the new work and this is
the result

great deal of trouble of late and it

The Winning of the West

Every writer on the agricultural
possibilities of the western continent,
every recent experiment station bulle-
TIN, every observant traveller agrees
that the greatest development of agri
culture in the next half century must
he in what is known as ,he semi arid
region of America, which includes
parts Of all the states west of the Mis-
souri, river and of Capada and Mexico
Here is to be the real winning of
the West and it will not be with
gun and knife, nor will it be with
boots and spurs, but it will be with
such intelligent cultivation of the soil
that the mystery of the so-called great
plains will disappear forever beneath
fields of waving grain. 1t is worth
while again calling attention to the
fact that the achievements of the
farmers of this region have far sur
passed the dreams of the pioneers.
Farming is reality in the semi arid
region. From hundred different di-
rections comes undisputed testimony
that practical men are tilling the soil
with good results.
The work started dozen years ago
by H. W. Campbell, of Lincoln, Neb.
whose experiments first drew the at
tention of the world to the possib bill
ties of this region, has been carried
on faithfully by him and others who
have learned of him, until today it is
not question whether there is any
thing in scientific soil culture but
how much and Just where and how
can soil culture methods be applied.
Mr.. Campbell has directed work on
many model farms in the past and his
operations this year are said to be
more extensive than ever before, and
in recent years the states have taken
up similar Investigations and every
where business associations are taking
the liveliest interest in what is being
done.
The successes of the past but indi-
cate in small way what is in store
for the future of this region. Scien-
tific soil culture has opened the door
for new era of expansion which is
to result in the making of homes for
millions of farmers and orchardl SITS
and dairymen on land hitherto listed
as almost worthless. The search for
gold Is directed in new channel and
the search will not be in vain.
Some day when the story of this
new development in the winning OF
the West IL written the world will be
amazed at results actually achieved.

hard to play with. The Carbondals
boys lost interest and made some bad
plays, allowing the Glenwood boys to
run up a large score. The teams were

GRIZZLY WATER
NOT DECREtD
Case Postponed Out of Respect to
CompdnY'S COunSeI---Ldw Points
to be Argued in Chambers
at LeddviIIe Later On
nNO TESTIMONY WAS INTRODUCED

The petition of the Glenwood Light
and Water company for the waters of
Grizzly creek was to have been heard
last Monday before Judge Lavender of
the district court at Red Cliff. At
torneys and witnesses were in attend
ance The town attorney had been
instructed to appear in behalf of the
town and ask that the decree to the
company be made to recite that the
water should never be diverted from
the town of Glenwood Springs and its
inhabitants so long as they needed it.
This was Mr.. Taylor's instructions
by the council in open session.
Whether Mr.. Taylor was afterwards
given additional instructions the Post
is not advised, but he went beyond
his first orders and after attacking the
notice given by the company, asked,
not that their decree be so drawn as
to protect the citizens of this town for
all time in the waters of Grizzly
creek, but asked that the company s
request for adjudication be denied
and their petition he denied and dis
missed.
Attorney John Ewing also filed a
protest against the decree in the name
of H j. Holmes and B. T. Napier as
taxpayers, but soon became convinced
that he might have trouble to secure
standing in court through these eli
ents and asked leave to protest
through Sidney Broughton, one of the
water users from Grizzly creek.
Before anything further was done
Mr.. Brien stated his unwillingness
to proceed without the assistance of
the preparation of the papers.
The judge stated that he wished to
hear argument on the question of
notice and stated that ne represented
Mr.. Darrow in all his cases and said he
considered it proper courtesy to Mr..
Darrow in view of the atfiiction that
had come into his household that the
matter be continued until such time
dS MI. DdIloW anu lHe otHei aItolhoy .
could argue the questions involved.
If the court holds the notice INSULT
cient, further notice can be given and
if not the case can be set for trial as
soon as the question of notice is dis
posed of.
1t is absolutely silly for anyone to
claim a victory as the element of vic
tory was nowhere present and could
not be and the efforts of anyone to
claim a victory where none existed is
to say the least in very bad taste.
