Irrigation from Underflow.

Greeley.-An underground river a
quarter of a mile wide in the Pierce
locality, twenty miles north of here, is
helping solve the problem of irriga-
ton there for large area.
To avail themselves Of the under
flow the Pierce residents have put
down wells and the water is raised
with pumps. The most novel well is
that of H. Bert Cave, and is really two
wells, with pipe running between
them. Each is twelve feet in diameter
thirty-two feet deep and the water
rises ten feet and runs in as fast as
taken out by pump operated by
electricity. This plant furnishes suf.
ficient water to irrigate sixty acres.
Cal McMullin has a well which
sends out stream of fifty cubic
inches second. In digging these
wells the condition of the soil shows
one-time river beds at different depths.

RUSHING FOR
R0UTT COUNTY
COAL FIELDS TO BE REACHED BY
UNION PACIFIC AND RIO
GRANDE.
SURVEYS BEING MADE
REPORT OF UNION PACIFlC'S CON.
NECTiON WITH MOFFAT
ROAD DENIED.

Denver-The Post Thursday after
noon says: Routt county will soon be
in full development as the greatest
coal producing area in this country,
not excepting Pennsylvania. Not only
will its coal be shipped via the Moffat
road to Denver and here distributed
South and West. but also the Union
Pacific has already begun work on a
branch from its main line on the Col
orado G. Wyoming which will penetrate
the fields as far as Craig, making there
a junction with the Moffat road.
The Denver & Rio Grande has al
ready completed surveys into the
fields and will start building this fall.
With all three roads in competition
the development of the fields will be
given the greatest impetus. When it is
remembered that there are found veins
of anthracite seventy feet in thickness
and the supply is practically bound
less, even greater than in Pennsylvan-
la, something of the boom it's produc-
ton will mean to Colorado can be re-
allied.
Added to this is the fact that Routt
county is also rich in nearly all of the
baser minerals and is the ideal agricul-
tural lands of the state. The roads
built primarily for the coal supply will
not only furnish means for the devel-
opment of these other resources, but
the population necessary.
The Union Pacific filed the DECLARE
ton for its Routt county branch yes
terday. The new line will be ALI
miles in length.
A report spread that the building OF
the branch finally confirmed the story
of the Union Pacific's connection with
the Moffat road is strenuously denied
by the officials of both roads. "Prl'
marily," said Union Pacific official,
I'VE need coal for the operation of our
own road. and this would amply justi-
| fly the new branch, but besides we will
also become the distributor Of Routt
| county coal"

BLACK NET OWED

Black net over faded tints has come
to the fore again. Dull pale grays,
smoked blues. queer pinks and that
faded shade of mauve which has been
in style all season are used under both
black and white net and lace, most
becoming mode for our mothers gen.
Grafton and very smart for young
matrons.
The mistake most women make
when they line black frock with a
colQris to make a belt and bow of
this color,>f for the outside of the frock.
Omit these If you would have the frock
look its best.
Trim 1t with bands of black filet
lace. The expensive ones now have
this lace hand embroidered in what
is known as ribbon braid. If you have
the time and the skill go to this trou-
ble 1t will result in handsome frock;
but a good quality of filet lace serves
well enough for most purposes.
You can use the ribbon braid to
good effect in small quantities at neck
and sleeves. Buy it in blacl- and use a
bold design, such as Greek border, or
a wall of Troy or octopus or chrysan-
themum. This ribbon braid embroi-
derry is quite pretty and seems to have
caught on and become the fashion of
the moment.
In these frocks it is also wise to
adopt the new fashion of black yoke
and stock instead of a white one.

Lack Of sufficient sleep soon shows
in ones appearance.
Buttermilk is very good for remov.
ing freckles or sunburn.
Sleeping with the mouth open will
spoil the shape Of the lips.
A good brisk walk before breakfast
each morning is very beneficial.
The sun is very good for the hair
and, after washing, the hair should
be dried in the sun. in the open air il
possible.
A solution that sometimes will aid
the hair in curling is half a pint OF
strong tea, dissolving in it II grains
Of carbonate of potash. The hair is
wet with this while dressing, laid in
waves and held so while drying.

UNBLEAcHED MUSLIN is LIKED.
Can Be ArtisticaIIy Made Up Into
Summer Frocks.

When women began to use ere.
tonnes for skirts and East Indian cot
ton prints for coats, waistcoats, a i'd
trimming, their minds turned to all
the other odd fabrics they could utilize
this summer.
They have found one. 1t is coarse.
unbleached muslin. 1t is wide, as you
know, and cheap. You may not know
how artistic it is when made up into a
summer frock.
No newfangled fancy fabric is
meant. 1t is just the old, everyday
unbleached muslin.
1t is made into shirt.waist frOCks
for common wear, and trimmed with
bands of cretonne or cotton print of
any kind. Others are trimmed with
bands of solidly colored muslin, espe-
cially those of dark blue and deep red.
One frocls was made with a Eored
skirt trimmed with a four.inch fold
of cretoune.

DAILY BATH A NECESSITY.
Whether Cold or Hot Depends on
Condition Of Bather.

A daily bath is a necessity if the
body is to be kept in good, sound
condition. If ones constitution will
not permit of daily plunge, the
sponge bath will prove sufficient for
all purposes of cleanliness and health.
Whether the bath should be cold
one in the morning or hot one at
night is to be determined by the
physical strength of the bather.
A cold bath has tendency to make
the skin dry and harsh. To avoid
this condition, some outdoor exercise
should be taken soon after the bath
This will promote perspiration and the
action of the oil glands, thus making
the skin soft and smooth again.
For nervous people, a bath in sea-
water, or in water to which seasalt
has been added, will prove beneficial.
The salt stimulates the heart and
overcomes the exhausted feeling one
so often experiences after some mental
or physical strain.
The hot bath has a soothing effect,
and often insures sleep to one who is
inclined to be wakeful and restless.

leave about two inches of fullness down
