tribute to tho Hog.

The hog occupies a conspicuous
place IN the annals Of the American
farmer. The more he is studied the
more he is appreciated. And the
more he is appreciated the more ne
Is cultivated. A writer in the Ne
braska Express, Mr.. A. H. Kidd, pays
him the following tribute:
"Take off your hat to his lordship,
the Hog. There is none more worthy
our obeisance than he. Though OF
lowly origin, he is the king OF the
mighty West Though by the inexor-
able decree of fate he is doomed to
life of confinement and self-denial,
vet he gives up his life that his
captors may wax fat and inherit the
earth. Such an example OF self
sacrifice for the public good is rarely
to be found. Sprung from a race that
was despised and reviled by all men,
vet by his innate worth and his
philanthropic deeds, he has made Tor
himself an honored place among the
benefactors of the human race. he
enters the homes of the rich and the
poor with the same lordly demeanor,
fully confident that. his presence Is
welcome. and his absence greatly to
! be deplored.
MEN of all nations struggle with
each other for the privilege OF max
ing him his business partner, ana the
man with whom he enters into busi-
ness alliance is envied by his neigh
bors while he yearly adds to the size
Of his bank account, and gathers IN
the surrounding farm lands. He Is
the greatest mortgage litter and the
unsurpassed happiness producer.
"Give him but comfortable place

maize and slop, bubbling spring to
ouench his thirst, and he becomes AZ

Denver.-Albert B. Sanford, assayer.
has gone to Washington, ID. c., to try
to convince the government that II
has no right, by a department ruling,
to interfere with the operation OF a
state law.
Mr.. Sanford is to appear before Sec
retary of the Interior Garfield.
Il am going to fight for my rights.
said Mr.. Sanford. Three years ago
filed upon land for the building of a
reservoir and power plant on Taylor
river. My reservoir was planned to be
large enough TO hold 4 500. 100000 cubic
feet, which would make it consider
able larger than the Cheesman dam.
The dam will be l40 feet high.
This reservoir and power plant
upon the public land is authorized by
federal law. The right to store flood
waters and use them in connection
with the normal flow of the stream for
the development of power is clearly per
mitted under the laws of Colorado.
MY intention is to do just this.

quirements of the state OF Colorado.

AN engineer decided this project
would interfere with the plans OF the
reclamation service in Uncompahgre
valley.
Il am certain that II the Taylor
river was not In existence, there
would be ample water for all uses of
the Uncompahgre canal. Eighty per
cent. Of all me waters flowing by the

from tributaries entering the river be-

Il made every effort TO demonstrate
to the department that my project. II
permitted. would result largely to the
benefit OF the Uncompahgre project.
and In no case a detriment. That the
extra water which would naturally be
required for the production OF energy
when the stream was low would be
drained from the reservoir. and after
passing the wheels would be returned
to the channel OF the stream. and those
waters be given TO the Uncompahgre
project without cost to II or to the
government.
Il have been satisfied from the start
that the right TO construct this rcser.

law, and | leave today to press my
case"
The site for the proposed reservoir
Is bounded by the Quartz creek range
on the south: the Continental divide.
or Collegiate range on the east. ana
the Elk mountains on the north and
northwest. The drainage area Of the
proposed reservoir is over $50 square
