Having extensively Investigated the
land and water conditions Of south

ences to- the Arkansas valley, Frank

terday made the statement that he saw
NO reason Why Colorado should not be
a. great an agricultural state A any
In the union.
He favors the laying OF concrete
pipes in the fields to take the places
OF the irrigation bitches, maintain
ing that enough water Ii lost through
evaporation in the open ditch systems
to irrigate all of the land now under
cultivation in southeastern Colorado.
I'm parts OF Kansas and in Cai-
ifornia," said Mr.. Summers. "the con-
crete irrigation pipes are used in the
fields and are effective. The expense
is something, but the results are
something also. Concrete is cheaper
than it was few years ago and can
now be used by the ranchers to an
advantage, for it appears to me that

though 1t is pretty heavy, and have
good crops than to go to less expense
and not have any.
THE concrete pipes protect the
water from evaporation, do not tear
up the field and allow more acreage
for raising crops. Three years ago

The bulletins issued by the Colorado
Telephone company for the informa-

enterprise cannot be too highly COM
mended.
In many sections the proceedings
of the convention were made known
several hours in advance Of the news

letins. There is nothing the American
people are more interested in than
they are in the national conventions

BoLDno IgIEIE;IIsy b 'loIDgj
on FIFTH ST lEET FRIBAY

One of the boldest robberies that
has taken place in Canon City for a
long time occurred at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis J. Moore, TEL
North Fifth street, shortly after six
o'clock Friday afternoon. Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore were at home at the time
and how ,the theft was committed is
yet a matter of wonder and astonish-
ment to them. An unknown and COM
paratively we'll dressed man called at
the home and stated that he desired
to rent the property, renaining about
the premises for, perhaps. IL or 20
minutes. On being told that the
place was not for rent he then stated
that he would like to purchase the
house cat, which he saw lying Just in
side the door. On one pretext and
another he stayed about the place un-
til he was able to slip into one Of the
bed rooms unobserved and steal a
purse containing between $50 and $50
in cash and various articles of more
or less value. Besides the money he
carried of a brooch, belonging to
Mrs. Moore, valued at $50, chetelaine
bag and a pair of gold trimmed spec
tacles. The authorities were inform
ed of the theft and a thorough search
made of the railroad yards and other
places likely to offer refuge to the
robber, but without result. The thief
visited the Moore premises in his coat
sleeves, for the purpose, 1t is be-
lieved, of being better able to conceal
his identity.
