Biq Reservoir Planned,

Florence, Colo.-When the plans OF
the Rito Reservoir and Big Lake Res
ervoir and Ditch Companies are exc
cuted, more arid land in southern Colo
RADIO will be placed under irrigation
A large dam will be built to be known
as the Rito storage reservoir. The
height will be $50 feet, the capacity
35.000,000 feet, and it will be built of
solid masonry. Claim is made for
water for domestic, irrigation and pow
er purposes. This reservoir will catch
the flow from Texas creek, Big Lake
Creek, Big Lake reservoir and sub
terranean streams. The probable cost
is $4,000. The Big Lake reservoir
will be twenty feet high and will also
be constructed of masonry. The to-
tai impouniing capacity will be 30,-
10000 cubic feet of water. These res
ervoirs and bitches will supply water
to several thousand acres of land in
the Arkansas valley now unproductive.

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences Of inordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison
some years ago counted the words in
a number Of typical sentences, finding
that in the earlier books it was no un-
common thing for Ruskin to run
beyond the page before permitting
himself and his readers the relief of a
full stop. But in every case the sense
is clear as day. Wordsworth's poem
on the Character of the Happy War
rior" is a notable example of sustained
connections. Apart from the opening
and closing couplets, the poem con-
sists Of two very long compound SEN
tences almost entirely comprised of
adjectival clauses. The longer of the
two sentences contains 81 decasyllabic
lines. This is probably a record in
English verse.

warfare on tuberculosis is assured by
the interest manifested in todays
meeting at Representative Hall, call
ed by Governor Hoch for the purpose
of organizing an association to CO.
operate with the national anti-tuber-
culosis movement.
Governor Hoch is taking an active
interest in the movement. In his call
for the meeting he said:
No greater scourge affIicts the
human race than the dread disease
known as the white plague. One
hundred and thirty-eight thousand
people succumbed to this disease in
the United States in 1906. Because
of its latitude. its healthful climate,
the absence of large cities with their
attendant conditions predisposing TO
this malady. and the intelligence with
which our people have grappled with
it, the mortality from this disease i'm
Kansas is relatively less than in most
states.
yet the disease is sufficiently
prevalent in Kansas to render its
statistics most alarming and to incite
every lover of his kind of the eNer-
else of every possible precaution TO
prevent its spread, and the applica-
tion of every known remedy TO re-
lieve its distress. In no field of med
ical research has there been more
grat tifying progress in recent years
than in this one.
"It is now known that tuberculosis
is am infectious disease and therefore
always a preventable one. The old
theory that it is hereditary has been
practically abandoned The possible
ity Of Ills cure Ina many cases formerly
thought incuroble is now also recog-
uized
"The task therefore. is a boneful
one and certainly worthy of the host
effort of the best minds and the best
