met at the Presbyterian church Oh
Thursday evening to hear the program
prepared by pupils of the Sunday School
From the opening chorus by the whole
school to the closing song, every min.
ute was filed with something both en-
tertaining and interesting. The little
tots Of a few years, were as well pre-
pared ~ were the older children. The
entire program was good and with the
distribution of candy, nuts, toys and
other presents to the pupils of the
school, the Christmas cantata, "santa
Claus Helpers" was brought to close.
High Mass was celebrated at the

Water Pipes We're Frozen

The Cardiff Water Company was Civ.
On great deal of worry the fore part
of this week when the water pipe,
which carries the water through this
city-tn Cardiff became useless because
OF the water freezing in it. The trou.
BILE was located and found to be on
the pipe line bridge over Grand river.
The water supply of Cardiff was shut
off and for time matters threatened
to become serious.
wednesday morning an engine was
secured and this used to force steam
through the pipe and the ice was thus
thawed out, the pipe opened, and the
water was again flowing Wednesday
evening
During this same time the water sup
ply at shoshone was cut off and before
water could be secured almost a com.
plete pipe system was laid. Shoshone
was without water for two days, but
on Thursday everything was repaired
and the supply turned on.
AT the county hospital the water and
heating pipes were frozen and it was
only by hard work of the nurses and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes that eighteen pa
tienss did not suffer from the extreme
cold. The ward was kept compa,i.
lively warm and some of the patients
were removed to the basement wn re
the cold failed to penetrate. The
troubles were righted with the fixing
of the Cardiff pipe line and the usual
order of things were resumed Thursday
morning.

SCHOOL CHILDREN MAKE MERRY

The exercises at the public school
building Thursday afternoon were of
a very interesting character and many
of the parents were visitors to the
various rooms to enjoy the festivities
with their children.
The first and second grades combined
their forces, as did the third and fourth,
fifth and sixth and seventh and eighth
grades. In the high school ordinary
literary exercises were dispensed with,
and the students listened to a very
able address by Rev. Father O'Dwyer.
This address was one Of the best
over heard in the building and the

Workmen At Shoshone Meet With
Painful Accidents While Pulling
Dynamite From Hole
TWO MEN SERIOUSLY INJURED

Within one hour on Monday morning
two workmen at Shoshone were seri
ously injured by striking missed shots
John Elliott, the first vitcim, was
engaged in pulling from the drill hole
the load that failed to explode. He
had been working at the task for sew
eral minutes and was all but ready to
complete the job when the explosion
occurred and he was hurled backward
against the wall of the tunnel. His
face was badly lacerated and both eyes
are believed to have been DESTROYED. He
was carried to the camp hospital and
! emergency treatment given. Later in
! the day he was placed on D. & R.. G..
number four and sent to ST. Joseph
hospital in Denver, where the best eye
specialist of the capital city will treat
him in an effort to save his sight.
Within an hour after, Elliott met his
misfortune, John Price, another laborer,
stuck his shovel into a pile of muck
spark must have caused the explosion
which followed. Only one of his eyes
was hurt He was brought to this city
and placed in the Glenwood sanitarium
for treatment.
Elliott recently came to the camp
from his home in Illinois and both h,
and Price had the reputation of being
A
Shoshone, who was in the city few
days ago, said it was wonder more
men were not hurt by striking missed
shots. He said he was leaving the tun-
mel one evening and asked how many
shots had been loaded. He was told
that thirty had been, but he said that
he counted thirty four distinct explosi.
ons, TINS there were more than report
ed to him by the leaders. AS a rule
miners are careful when working in a
tunnel, but there are some few, who
never hesitate to go back into tunnel
after the round of shots have been
fired to see what the result is. Scores
Of miners have lost their lives by ventu.
ring back too soon and for this rea.
son companies have issued very strict
orders against this dangerous risk. 1t
is said to be the policy to "draw"
the missed shots, but even this is
dangerous task and as above, often re-
suits in serious injuries.
Tho third man within week to
have his eyes blown out was Arthur
Nc Keever, who on Wednesday evening
stuck his pick into missed shot caus.
ing an explosion He was taken to
Denver and placed in a hospital in that
city.
The theory advanced by some of
the people from Shoshone is that the
men do not thaw out the sticks of dy.
Mantle, but put them in the holes in Il
frozen condition. It is claimed that
the frozen stuff will not explode, but
is blown out or fails to explode at all.

new COMPANIES
FILE ARTICLES

That investors are beginning to take
deep interest in the growing Grand
valley is evidenced by the fact that
two more companies fled articles of in
corporation with the clerk of this coun-
ty this week. One. the "North Pali-
sade Irrigation Company" and the
other, rifle Light, Heat and Power
Company prove that business in the
lower end of the valley is rapidly gdow-
ing and that more investors will be
seeking places for their money.
Tho papers of the Palisade Irrigation
company were filed by Stanley Wilmot,
F. w. Berry and VIM. Vaile, the COM
pany Incorporating under the laws of
Colorado. The capital stock Of the
company is placed at 100000 with
1000 shares at a par value of 500
each, the life of the company is to be
twenty years.
According to the papers, the purpose
Of the company is "To construct, ac-
uire and maintain water works, water
supply plants, gas, electric or other
light, heat and power plants, telephone
lines or other works and utilities of
general service"
The main office of the company will
be located in Denver ami for the first
year the business will be under the
care of the following directors: +. w.
I-add, F. W. Barry, s. E. Wilmot, H. F..
Hoffman, W. N. Vale, J. R. Lewis and
II. E. Wright. They expect to secure
water from the East Salt Creek water
shed, which is below Debeque in Mesa
county.
W. II. Haley, c. l.. Todd and W. j.
LeRossingnol of Rifle filed the papers
of the Rifle Light, Heat and Power
company. They expect to secure
franchise to furnish the peple with
light and power for q period Of twenty

serving as directors; W. II. Haley,
c. L. Todd, W. J. LeRossignol, Fred
Munroe, E. McIearn, Fred Sayre and
R. F. Mayor, all of the town of Rifle.
During the past few weeks, four diff
ferent companies have filed their arti-
cles Of Incorporation with the Garfield
county clerk, John Weir. They are ad-
business projects that are sure
to result in bettering conditions in the
western part Of the state and some Of
the business men of this county are
sure that other projects. will be
taken up and that the year 1909 will be
the greatest this county has ever hau.
There are plenty Of opportunities for
investment and the man that delays
placing his money in Grand valley land
is going to kick himself good and hard
in few years.

Colorado has a natural interest in
that part of the report of the Secretary
of Agriculture which is devoted to per.
manent improvements on the Govern
ment's National Forests Such work
as the construction of miles of trail
and roads, telephone lines, drift and
pasture fences, ranger houses and
barns has opened up and improved
many square miles of territory in the
eightesa National Forests in the state,
and for these and similar purposes
s65, ,7o0.s6 was spent during tho las,
fiscal year, ending June 80, 1908.
Two hundred sixty-six and one.fourth
miles of trail and 42-E. miles of road
were built, 5l7 miles OF telephone lines
were strung, and the Forest ranges
were improved by the construction o:
57is4 miles of drift fence and 93-M
miles of pasture fence. During the
year 40 houses to be used for ranger
quarters, and II barns for rangers
horses were built, bridges were con
structed, watering places on tho range
were improved, and various miseellan.
eous improvements were made. In
speaking of the permanent improve.
ment work on all the National Forests.
the Secretary of Agriculture has the
following to say in his annual report:
"The agricultural appropriation act
of 1905 included an item of $5OO,OO
which was made available for perma
nent Improvement work on the National
Forests. The object of this work ia
to help open up the Forests to more use
and provide means for their better and
more economical protection, through
the supply Of means of communication
and transportation, well located field
quarters, fire lines, fences to assist in
the handling of stock, and watering
places. These improvements are es.
scntially investment of capital, which
add greatly to the value and usefulness
of the Forests.
"Thc work completed during the
year included 3,4OO miles of trails
5000 miles of telephone line. 100 miles
of wagon road, 40 miles of fire line.
$50 bridges, $50 cabins and barns, and
600 miles of pasture and drift fences
In addition TO the sum provided by
the special-improvement fund, over
100000 from the general fund of tho
Service was turned from current ex.
penses to defray the cost Of this work,
but much of this work planned and ur.
gently needed could not be carried out
because there was nothing with which
to pay for it,"
