The Turret Battery.

Early in the nineteenth century, in
1872, Colonel John Stevens conceived
the idea Of the construction Of an iron
plated vessel Of war with saucer
shaped hull, propelled by screws 80 ar
ranged as to give q rotary motion to
the structure. The battery was to be
Of the heaviest ordnance Of the time
and the plating heavy enough to resist
the shot Of similar guns at short range.
The main purpose Of the craft was
harbor defense, and the plan Of action
was to moor the vessel by a chain
leading down through the bottom Of
the ship at its center and to spin II
around this center, firing gun after gun
Tas 1T came In the line Of fire, thus an:
ticipating the later .Timby turret, which
in turn was the germ Of the modern
monitor armorclad. Such vessel was
actually built half a century later by
the Russian government and was q

A TRAGIC EXPERIMENT.
How Husband Tried to Cure His
Wife's Fear Of Pythons.

~
. Concerning pythons, the following is
a true story: A young lady in England
for long time resisted her lovers en-
treaties to go out to India with him as
his wife. She had q horror OF the wild
animals she believed she might en-
counter there, especially serpents. At
length. however, after he had issued o
sort of ultimatum, she consented to ac-
company him. She did not, however,
leave her fears behind her and lived In
constant terror Of some day meeting
what she SO intensely feared. Her hus.
band did his best to laugh her fears
away, but without avail. Then he re.
solved to try more drastic means.
"A huge python was killed In the
neighborhood of his bungalow. With
out telling his wife anything about 1t,
he ordered the reptile to be brought
into the drawing room and coiled up
as IL asleep on the hearth rug. Then
he went out and called his wife, telling
her to go into the drawing room and
that he would join her In q few min
utes. Soon after he heard q dreadful
scream. ''That will cure her OF heI
fear Of serpents. = he smiled to himself
and purposely delayed his entry
When at last he went into the drawing
room he saw his wife lying dead on
the floor, and coiled around her was
another huge python, the mate to the
one that lay dead on the hearth rug

The annual meeting of the Park

night and was largely attended. The
stockholders listened with much in
terest to very exhaustive report by
Mr.. s. H. Atwater, the president Of
the company, detailing the events OF
the past year, which, he said, was in
many ways the greatest year in the
history OF the company.
+ 1t is a matter of common knowledge
that the company has secured during
the year by purchase the very old
water rights of Garden Park and
some on lower Four Mile creek,
among others the very oldest appro-

priation on Four Mile creek. Tho use
of this water in Park Center and Or
chard Park together with the other
water rights previously owned by the
company, provided a fine supply Of
water during the irrigation season in
spite Of the fact that 1907 was one Of
the most dry years in the history Of
Colorado
The great satisfaction OF the stock
holders In their past years experience
was very evident. ID 81
The financial statement showed the
receipts OF the company to have been
$144.619.16. from which about $780,
900 was expended on old water rights
and the statement Of assets and lia-
bilities showed the company to be In
a very flattering condition. In view Of
the heavy expenses the low water
tax Of 81 per share or - per acre
was gratifying to the stockholders.
The affairs Of the company were
fully. discussed and the board of d.
rectors complimented on their ad-
ministration OF the affairs Of the COM
pany.
A year ago the number of stock
holders In the company wera SO; now
they number 40. The company was
fortunate enough to be able to afford
Garden Park ranchers with water suf-
ficient to produce but little short oi

to all that was needed to meet the
requirements Of its stockholders.

tificate is entitled to the use OF the
water thereby represented during the
irrigation period and in addition
thereto, may sell the same for domes-
tic, manufacturing or power purposes.
Fifth; The irrigation period is fix
ed by the Bylaws as extending from
April 1st to November 1st of each
year This period should in my judg-
ment be extended to from March 1st
to December 1st for the reason here
tofore stated.
Sixth; The Bylaws of the Com
pany appear to provide that the cor
poration shall ultimately be under the
complete control of the certificate or
land purchasers"
Mr.. Ross's objection as covered in
the irrigating season, will be changed
as recommended by him. This assu-
rance comes from C. C. Hamlin. the
President of the Company.
On the strength of this report the
above named gentlemen made their
purchases and now that this report is
out, and when it is known that it has
been favorable to the Beaver company
great many people of Fremont coun-
ty will chose their land.
Mr.. o. X. Parker, the chief engineer,
has system OF laterals planned
which will be the finest ever inaugera-
ted in this state. All of the main
branch laterals will be either made of
concrete pipe, or a cemented side and
bottom ditch. Under this system the
loss of water in transit from the time
it leaves the intake In Beaver until 1t
is put on the ground for irrigation.
will be less than one per cent, while
in the usual dirt ditch the loss is any
where from rs to so per cent.
OF the numerous sales made since
January 1st, General Sales Agent Mat
lock reports that fully 80 per cent of
the people making purchases will
start improvements this spring. 1t be-
ing their intention to set out in fruit
trees, or raise garden truck, 30 1t can
readily be seen that Beaver Park,
in the next few months. will be one
OF the prettiest spots In the state,
and one that is going to be of great
benefit to Canon City.
