MISS EDITH HAMILTON
GOES TO BOULDER

Miss Edith Hamilton of the senior
class of the South Canon high school,
who won first place in the Fremont
county oratorical contest last week,
has again been signally honored. From
the forty-six accredited high schools
of the state of Colorado, six girls are
selected to give their essays at the
state oratorical contest, held annually
in Boulder. This year the contest is
held Friday evening, May 10th. and
the many friends of Miss Hamilton
will rejoice with her, that her essay,
when put in competition with the es-
says from the other high schools of
the state, to be judged on Thought"
and composition" by three of the
most eminent educators of the state,
was considered of such high merit as
to entitle her to enter the state con-
test
Miss Hamilton is not only splendid
student in all her school work, and
loyal to her school in every way, but
above this all, she is most womanly
young woman, and in the coming con-
test will represent her school with
great credit.

CITY NOT REQUIRED TO PAY
ROYALTY ON WATER SUPPLY

Colorado Springs, May 1.-THE visit
of Elwood Mead, chief photographer of
the federal reclamation service, to this
city last Friday evening TO discuss ag-
ricultural affairs with former Con-
gressman Franklin e. Brooks, and the
coincidence of Mr.. Mead's meeting
State Senators e. r. Taylor of Glen
wood Sprins and James W. McCreery
of Greeley, in Mr.. Brooks Office, has
led to somewhat sensation statement
by Senator Taylor in a Denver morn
ing paper. to tn eeffect that the federal
government will soon begin to charge
royalties on water secured in or near
federal forest reserves in this state
when such water is used for power or
manufacturing purposes, and that a
secret conference was held in this city
with reference to putting the scheme
into practice.
The statement created somewhat OF
a sensation in this city, for the ques-
ton naturally arose as to whether the
city of Colorado Springs would not
nave 10 pay L1t ISi DVi
hitting the Hydro-Blectric company TO
use it's water for power purposes since
the city's water supply is obtained
from the Pixies Peak reserve. 1t was
also generally thought that other cor
porations like the Empire Power and
Water company, and the Woods Invest
ment company, which has big stor-
age reservoir near Clyde, would have
to pay the proposed government tax
In speaking of the alleged secret con-
ference, former Congressman Brooks
said:
"There was no secret conference
whatever. Senator Taylor and Senator
McCreary were in our Office on ordi-
nary legal business. Mr.. Mead stopped
over on his way east to Sc me person
ally and purely In social way, and
to talk over some matters connected

There is nothing new in the atti-

reference to forest reserves, and SO far
as l know, the only matter mentioned
and that purely incidentally-was
the conservation charge that the bu-
reau of forestry has for several years
imposed when water stored on forest
reserves is used for power purposes,
The forestry service attempted to
make distinction between the rental
of the water and the use of the forest
reserves to conserve water.

there was nothing to cause any alarm
over any conference in my Office or
elsewhere that / know of. Certainly
there is nothing in the fact that Mr..
Mead happened to be here at the same
time with these other gentlemen who
were here for an entirely different
purpose"
When asked for an expression of
opinion as to how the governments at
titude would affect the Empire Power
and Water company, one of the officers
of the company pointed out that IN the
Kansa- Colorado water dispute, the
state of Colorado's central plea was
that, under the states first chapter,
this state has absolute control of all
water rights originating within its
boundaries and that consequently the
federal authorities could not meddle
with the water or make any charges
of any sort without first storing the
water or making some such use of it
under special right granted by the
state authorities, as any individual
would have to do. In this connection,
it is pointed out that once the water
has left the forest reserves, it passes
out of the governments jurisdiction,
and any one may use it, subject, or
course, to priority of rights. In the
forest reserves the governments claim
is simply one of timber culture, and
has nothing to do with the water
rights.
