when completed will be one Of the
largest In the state. 1t Is located
near Hartsel, In the mountains, on
the upper end of tho South Platte

USE SEWAGE
NEW IRRIGATION SCHEME IS
LAUNCHED IN DENVER.
Land in Weld and Adams Coun-
ties to be Watered From
Denver SeWers-Work
Starts at Once.

A unique irrigation scheme was
launched in Denver last Friday by
Robert McF. Doble and Rsplh l.
Meeker, civil engineers. The plan
II developed will irrigate about 2o,-
600 acres In Adams and Weld coun-
ties. Maps have been filed with the
state engineer, surveys are now be-
ing made and 1T is hoped to have
the work we'll under way by the tirst
Of June. Water from Denver sewers
will be used exclusively, with special
settling tanks and other processes to
obliterate the waste matter. Five
large pumping plants will lie erected,
this being necessary owing to the
plan of the promoters to reach land
not irrigated by present ditches. 1t
has not been decided what sewerage
outlets will be used. Fi.e are under
consideration, all Of them at advan.
tageous points.
Mr.. Doble believes he has clear
title to the sewerage water. The
records have been carefully examined
and this is the first filing Of which
he has any knowledge. There are
six or more bitches iD the neighbor-
hood OF Denver. They are the Bur
lington, Fulton and PROPOSED Henry
I'm Alechee On the eeat sias q ths
fseeas s3vss, ~ tlse A1stSu1sus14,
C.sas Greek and South Pfatte on the
west aide. Some OF the sewerage
water has been used by these bitches,
but they have never claimad title to
it by making u filing. Mr.. Dob'e
does not anticipate any trouble with
the ompanies controlling these
properties, but on the other hand,
expects to carry his irrigation water
through these bitches. The pump
ing plants will be constructed along
those routes. one for each district of
uncultivated land, and the water
thus carried where it is required.
Mr.. Doble may build reservoirs later
but nothing of that kind Is contem-
plated at present.
Some question has bsen raised by
farmers who will be Denehted as to
using sewerage water for irrigation.
Statistics show that similar enter.
prises have met with success II car
rtsd out under proper conditions.
Among the cities In the United
States where the plan has been
worked to satisfaction are Meriden.

light when harmful results came

TO AVOID Sitting
Forestry Service Helps Ditches
and Reservoirs.

One of the most serious problems
confronting engineers today Is the
sitting and destruction of large and
costly reservoirs for the development
os COVER, irrigation works, and other
purposes. Toresters have always
poantsA out that forests exert bea-
hef1cial Influence In lesssnfng srosse0
and sitting and that 6lling Of resee-
voirs can be prevented only by the
protection Of watersheds. A letter
to Forester Pinchott from J. B Lip
pincott, consulting engineer OF the
city OF Santa Barbara, California,
throws light on this subject. Mr..
Lippincott writes:
1T was determined that the city
should excavste tunnel through the
Santa Ynez Mountains back of town.
This tunnel will be 10, coo feet long
and is now nearly half finished. 1t
il proposed then to build storage
reservoir on the river, impound dood.
waters and discharge them through
the tunnel to the coastal platD
around the city. The one gravo
question WAS the sitting up Of any
reservoir that We would build ~ the
river was very muddy In flood, aud
samples of food water sent to the
Geological Survey gave results that
we're rather discouraging. Conss-
qusntly the city bought two resev-
voir sites 90 IS to use the second to
case the first wss destroyed ulti-
mately by sitting. The city also
appealed to the Forest Service for
assistance. The Santa YDez rsssr-
voir was created, private lands
largely eliminated from our drainage
basin aud a vigorous policy was In
augurated bv the Forest Service to
prevent fires and overgrazing.
''For the rast three years we have
had no fires In the basin above our
proposed diversion point and over
grazing has been prevented, sheep
and goats being entirely excluded.
During the past three years we have
also had good rains, giving vegeta-
tion good chance to grow.

There was practically no silt In It.
Over three inches of rain had fallen

were covered with snow, which may
IN part have aided the stream. None

VERDICT AGAINST
GUESTS BONDSMAN

The name OF Constable Albert E.
Guest figured prominently In the case
OF Barnard Ostrowski against James
w. Caldwell in which a verdict was
returned against the latter for $l97
Caldwell went on Guests bond.
From the evidence IL appears that
a Judgment was obtained against Os-
trowski. a former saloonkeeper. for
an unpaid liquor bill. Before the judy
ment was obtained Ostrowski and his
wife went TO Utica. n. ", where the
husband was employed, leaving their
goods in their Detroit home. When
the judgment was returned an execu-
ton was placed In the hands of Con-
stable Guest, but a friend notified Os-
trowski OF the judgment and he tele-
graphed the money and settled the
debt. Constable Guest went TO the
Ostrowsh home, according TO the tes-
timony. and seized everything In the
place. including clothing. family pic
lures and other articles which are
exempt. He sold the entire lot for
$17S. II is stated, but returned the ex-
ecution unsatisfied. claiming that he
received only $3.50, and that he kept
this as his fee.
The jury was out but a few min
utes. and returned judgment against
the bondsman for the full amount OF
the claim.

MORTGAGE HOLDERS
TRY TO DODGE TAX ROLL

As usual every year the assessors
are Eaving their troubles In getting
the/fnortgage holdings OF wealthy De-
troiters on the tax rolls. An instance
OF this took place Friday morning At
torney George w. Bates was seen TO
go into Assessor Plass Office. and i'm
mediately thereafter sounds OF voices
in loud discussion began To be heard.
IL developed that Bates was acting
for Mary A. Campau, who had invest
ed SSl 900 In mortgages In South Bend.
Ind. The Indiana assessors were un-
able TO put the mortgages on the
rolls as Mrs. Campau lives in Detroit,
but they reported the matter TO the
Detroit assessors and notice was sent
out al once.
Attorney Bates protested against

was overruled and the case viii be

Another citizen stormed into the
office Friday morning and protested
against being assessed for certain
mortgages which he claims had been
assigned
Sure. that's all right. but well as

them" came the placid reply.
The professor found no comfort and
finally decided TO make out state
ment OF all his personal property.

AUTO SPEEDING ON
BOULEVARD MUST STOP

Automobile speeding on the boule-
ward will positively have TO cease.
This is the dictum of Philip Brett
meyer, park commissioner. and ne has
taken measures TO enforce his edict
by having stretches OF the boulevard
measured of for timing purposes and
making ready TO station men at con-
yenient points for observation of the
ways of the speed-fiend.
1t will be easy to make record
on the boulevard. for Breitmeyer's
checkers will be present and they
will swear TO the time In court-but
fine instead Of a medal will go with
each record.
I'VE have had numerous complaints
or speeding and believe that
vehicles have been driven at a rate
OF from 80 to 80 miles per hour" says
the commissioner. This in such a
locality is dangerous and must be
stopped. Factory testers and all 9TH
ers must observe decency and the
law"
