UNDERGROUND WATERS OF
~ SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO

A valuable report on the under
ground waters Of the Arkansas valley
in southeastern Colorado has just been
issued by the United States Geolog-
ical Survey as Professional Paper No.
81. Hhe area discussed In this publi-
cation is limited by the eastern and
southern boundaries of the state by
a line drawn east and west through
Palmer. and by line drawn north
and south through Canon City. In
this region there is an area OF consid-
cradle extent in which artesian water
is available, and In the last ten years
numerous wells have been sunk to
develop this important resource. The
artesian flows. however, arc obtained
only in the lower lands, and one Of
the principal objects of the investiga-
ton has been the determination Of the
area in which the water will rise to
the surface without pumping Az the

RUNG OUT THE OLD YEAR,
RUNG IN THE NEW

Most of the steam whistles, bells
and other noise creating devices in the
city were brought into use last night
for the purpose of bidding farewell to
the old year and extending greeting
to the new. How many men and boys
deprived themselves of sleep last
night in order to carry out this an

the occasion was celebrated, 1t is fair
to assume that most of the masculine
population was upon the streets at
midnight. Vale 1906, Hail 1907.

NO OPEN SEASON FOR

Fourteenth General Assembly in the
year 1903 made the open season on
Mountain Sheep having horns from
October 18th to October 25th. COM
mencing with the year 1907. This.
however, was changed by the FIJI
teenth General Assembly convening
in the year 1905 That body passed
a law repeating the law of 1908. which
fixed the open season on Mountain
Sheep as above set forth and omitted
all reference to the open season on
those game animals, and closed the
eason perpetualy on them.
Section 1 of Division "B" of the
Game Law provides that No person
shall at any time of the year or in
any manner pursue, take. wound or
kill any mountain sheep
or sell. or offer or expose for sale. or
have the same in possession, except
as permitted by this Act" Nowhere
in the Act is permission given to kill
