each, in the Norwich Union and Hart
ford, respectively, Cobb & Co. being
the general agents.
While the continued cool weather has
kept back much of the water to come
from the melting of the range snow, il
must be remembered that the supply
up the Gunnison is still there and will
be along later-perhaps when it is more
needed. Our warm weather will come
and the use of the water will be as
acceptable later in the season. 1t is
not to the advantage of both land ant
crops not to have the snow melt tot
early and flow away to waste before
it is really needed.
