But Probably Something Happened

One evening Miss Passe stayed to

company. Growing restless at des-

In few seconds he returned with .
little dresden clock from the sitting

Gracious. child" exclaimed the

Tommy with Importance.
Miss Passee Uttered, THE dear lit

While Miss Passee was speaking
Tommy had carefully placed the clock
on the table In front of her. with .
mysterious gesture he laid his finger
on his lips and enjoined silence. No
one stirred.
After about two minutes Tommy's
strained expression relaxed and no
clapped his hands in exultation. 1T

SNOW IN THE, MOUNTAINS.

1t IL gratifying to note the good
things In store for Colorado next
year. Reports from all parts of the
state are to the effect that there is
now more snow in the mountains
than at any time for several years,
notwithstanding that the season
which usually brings the heaviest pre-
cipitation Is yet to come. 1t Is reas-
enable to suppose that March and
April will give US their usual rains
and snow storms. In which event
Colorado WILL be uberahy supplied
with water for irrigation In 1903.
But even II they don't. there Is now
enough snow In the hills, according
to reports. to give the state almost
twice a. much irgriation water as 1t
had last summer. The little snow we
had last season came late In the
spring and melted under the rays OF
the warm sun almost as soon as it
touched the ground. The water ran
off rapidly and very little Of 1t soak
ed Into the earth.
The conditions have been reversed
this winter. Snow fell unusually
early and more frequently. with the
result that each layer formed Into a
hard crust and the whole into an Icy
mass. This guarantees a steady sup
ply Of water during the spring and
early summer months, because the
..,~..~ I'LL vx,olt al<.xuIv and RIM <n.ff in
a steady stream. To say the least,
the prospects for the farmer are
brighter than usual and bumper crops
are assured unless ADVERSE conditions
arise which can not now be forseen.
Another encouraging thing is that
fruit raisers have learned the lesson
Of how to care Of their trees during
cold snaps such as were experienced
last April and May. By the use Of
smudge pots one Grand Junction man
saved almost his entire crop, while
his neighbors suffered the loss Of
thousands Of dollars worth OF fruit
by contenting themselves with watch
ing his experiment. They all know
the lesson now and have fortified
themselves against the dangers Of
late frosts.
OF course the early storms this
winter have had their disadvantages
from the stockman's point Of view,
but this loss is insignificant as com
pared with the gain to the farmers
and fruit growers. With more snow
in the mountains now than there
was during the whole of last winter
and the prospects Of as much more
before the irrigation season opens.
the Colorado farmer and fruit raiser
has reason to expect big things next
summer.-Ex.

Surveyors OF the ColOradO-Kansas
Railway reached La Junta last Mon
day. afternoon and without any fuss
and very few feathers made a pre-
liminary survey of the road down
First street. The survey crosses the
arroyo west of town In a direct line
with First street. crosses the Santa
Fe "Y' near the section house, and
then parallels the county road west
as far as the road leading south to
e. N. Berry's place. From this point
1t runs straight west, passing Swink
at a point about one mile and a quar-
ter south of that place. The outlet
on the east is from point near the
new slaughter house of Lamb
Theits, and then northeast across the
arroyo, the Santa Fee tracks and the
Arkansas river. The surveyors would
not give out anything definite as to
their plans. but we understand it is
the intention of the company not to
utilize the county roads under any
circumstances, but to secure an in
dependent right-of-way one hundred
feet wide from one end to the other
OF the Arkansas Valley.-La Junta
