or what kind of report will be
filed in Washington as result of
such survey it is difficult at this
time to even guess.
The question of the practical
bility of the project has been
much discussed by people who
know little or nothing about it
and many guesses have. been
made as to the cost of the enter
prise and the number of acres of
land that may be watered. Esti.
mates as to the amount of good
land vary from 5000 to $4,000
acres and estimates as to the cost
per acre vary from $40 to $40.
Much depends upon the plan
which the government engineers
may consider feasible, if they con-
slider any plan feasible. There are
so many things to consider that
no man can predict offhand what
will be done or whether anything
VIII De zone SO 1ar as the govern
ment is concerned.
There is considerable good land
the neighborhood of the pro-
posed reservoir some of it in
Eagle and more in Garfield coun-
ty. To water it will mean the
confiscation of at least two good
ranches in Spring park for
reservoir site.
Mr.. Napier recently went to
Washington and through the as
sistance of Congressman George
W. Cook was able to get a prom
'se from Mr.. Newell that an in
vestieation and preliminary sur
vey would be made.

SPECIAL WINTER RATES.

The railroads have granted
further concession in connection
with the special winter rates Of
fered for persons coming TO Glen
wood Springs from Colorado
points to take in the baths,
The old system of securing the
rates was through the forwarding
OF a physician s certificate to this
place, which was then sent in to
the railway, the special rate order
returned to Glenwood and thence
to the applicant. This caused a
delay of at least a week in secur-
ing such tickets, and of course
operated against applications for
such a rate.
The roads have now modified
this method, so that person de
string the special rate, can secure
it by submitting his physician s
certificate to the local railway
agent at his own home. The
agents will communicate by wire
with the general passenger agent,
and will receive authorization to
isslie the half rate round trip
ticket.
In this manner, the half rate
ticket can be procured within a
few hours after the physician
gives the necessary certificate,
and patients will be enabled to
come Immediately to Glenwood
Springs upon deciding to make
the trip.

MISS oBERDORFER
WEDS COLORED MAN,

Denver, Feb. News was re-
ceived from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
shortly after noon today to the
effect that Miss Clara C. Oberdor-
fer, formerly of Glenwood
Springs, had become the wife of
Amazon Ira Lucas, the negro ex-
ponent of ''The Limitless Life. ;"
The couple, who seemed to be
happy as pair of cooing doy es.
arrived in the Wyoming city On
the noon train, procured their Ii
'cense, and, without delay, had the
ceremony performed which unites
them for life.
The negro wired some of his
friends in Denver, telling them
OF the marriage
Miss Oberdorfer friends are
greatly shocked. They were well
aware that for long time she
had been following the teachings
of the fakir, but that she has be-
come his wife is a scandalous sur
prise to them.
Lucas has been run out of sew
eral cities by the authorities on
account of his free love teachings.
He took up his residence some
months ago at All Corona street,
this city, and succeeded in inter
esting number of prominent
women in his teachings. Neigh
bors began to object to his insti-
tuition, and the yellow papers.
which had been accepting his ad-
vertising notwithstanding the fact
that several years ago they ran
him out of the city, opened up on
his game again.
When Senator Tillman address
ed an audience at the First Bap-
tist church not long ago Miss
Oberdorfer created somewhat of
a sensation by interrupting the
speaker, and Lucas, who was with
her, also had something to say.
There is report that Mr.. and
Mrs. Lucas will make their future
home at 1166 Humboldt street in
a residence richly furnished by
Lucas. The people of that neigh
borhood-the center of Capitol
Hill-are greatly alarmed over
the proposition of Lucas being in
their midst, and are more than
anxious that he should change his
mind and go somewhere else.
While in Glenwood Miss Ober-
dorfer was almost ostracized by
those who knew her best on ac-
count Of her free love theories and
ideas. These opinions which she
entertained were not generally
understood until about the time
she was to leave. Soon after fin
ishlng the school term she made
application for a position for the
next year, and was accepted. She
left for California, where she join
ed Lucas 'Limitless Life" colony
at San Diego. This brought much
criticism on her-so much, in
fact, that the school board was
obliged to take the matter up and
finally requested her resignation.
This she handed in, but not with
out delivering the board a lecture
on the beauties Of the "Limitless
Life plan as promulgated by the
negro.

An interesting meeting of the
Glenwood board Of trade was
held last evening at the office of
the Grand hotel. 1t was the iarg-
est meeting of the board that has
been held in years. But that is
not so very strange. 1t was the
regular annual meeting for the
election of officers. And besides
this the event had been adver-
tised for two days and advertis-
ing always pays.
The citizens of Glenwood
Springs had been asked to come
and send the board off, on its 1908
voyage with good start, and
they obeyed the request.
When the president, Maj. S. j..
DeLan, called the meeting to or
der there We're about % gentle
men present. Never before had
the president looked into the eyes
of so many of his fellow citizens
at a business meeting of the
board of trade.
Prior to calling the meeting to
order there was a little informal
chat, and to pass away the time
while waiting for some of the cit
izens, who did not come. Major
DeLan read some of the letters
he has recently written relative
to the proposed public building.
After announcing the meeting
IN order the president called for
the reading of the proposed con
stltution and bylaws of the board
After the reading of these they
were adopted, except some see
tons relative to membership. and
these We're passed for the time be-
ing.
lhen the matter of election was
taken up after some hesitation on
the part of the chair. On motion
OF w. 5. Parkison, all those pres.
ent were declared charter men,
bers of the board of trade. Ma
Jor Delan objected to this. claim
ing that there had been a charter
list for many years. He did not
have the list, however, and could
not give the names of the mem.
bers.
When nominations for presi-
dent were called for, C. W. Tay-
lor IN neat speech nominated
=. e. Parks after setting forth
ms qualifications for the position
1t looked for awhile as though no
further nominations would be
made, when III. J. Holmes arose
and remarked upon the size OF

see SO many present. This remark
was well understood by those
who know Mr.. Holmes as a bu-
morlst of no mean proportions
