MEMBERS OF SENIOR
CLASS BANQUETED

The annual banquet of the Juniors
in honor of the Senior claasmsn and
faculty of the Canon City High school
was held in the dining room of the
First Methodist church Friday, and
was very pleasant AFFAIR. There were
about ninety people present and the
occasion was a notable one socially,
intellectually, gastrOnOmically. t The
banquet, which was q four course af-
fair, was prepared under the direction
of the Ladies' Aid society of the First
Methodist church congregation and
was a master piece of the culinary art.
The decorative scheme was in red
and black, the Senior class colors, and
was of an unusually attractive charac-
ter Red carnations were used to ex-
cellent advantage on the table, and
combined with the viands and guests,
to produce scheme of more than Or
binary life and beauty. Prof. Foster,
of the chair of science in the High
school faculty, oficiated as toast
master and did it well. Chas. w.
Wright, on behalf of the Junior class,
toasted the Seniors, which was replied
to by Will Mackenzie, president OF the
Senior organization. The Juniors
drank to the prosperity of the Senior
classmen and to the health of Miss
Belle Minor, principal of the High
school. The Seniors will reciprocate
the hospitality of last night by lawn
party to their entertainers at the resi-
dence of Mrs. NJ. S. Reynolds, pres-
dent of the board of education, on the
evening of the 21st inst. The place
cards were decorated with red and
white roses, the chosen flower of the
Senior and Junior classes respective
ly. The only unfortunate thing in con-
nectiOn with the banquet was the fact
that Archie Stockder, the honor man
of the Senior class was unable to be
present on account of the tragic death
of his father at the postoffice early in
the evening. Each of the classes voted
to place a wreath of flowers upon the
casket of the dead as tribute of re-
spect to his memory. and as an evil
dence of their sympathy for their
school associate.

Beaver Greek Booming.

The recent rains have caused Beav-
er creek to raise considerably and the
stream is now on a boom. More than
twentycubic feet of water was flowing
through the ditch of the Beaver Land
and Irrigation company this morning.
1t is not expected that the rise in
water will continue many days, and
it will be some time in June before
the snow on the hill-sides melt SO
that it can be used for irrigation. This,
however, is the time 1t will be most

at this point. .... .-.l
1t was here. however. that ths sn0st
effective work was done to preserve
the crop by artificial means. and We
believe that the efforts there made By
a few OF the enterprising fruit Rrow-
ers Of that section. will result In very
great benefit to every fruit Er0WiAS
district in the state. II appears eAAs
before this severe freeze . carload OF
heating pots, OF a type used In some
portions Of California, had been 7hip-
ped into the city for the purpose Of
disposing Of them to the fruit growers
in that locality. but the agent had besn
unable to do 80. On the day preced-
Ing the severe freeze, one OF the lares
fruit growers OF Grand Junction ad-
vanced the unpaid freight on the car,
and the carload was distributed be-
tween this party and few other
growers, who made n thorough test OF
their efficacy.
One OF these was Mr.. J. L. Hamil-
ton who has an orchard OF twenty
acres located a short distance from
the city OF Grand Junction; these 20
acres are contained In one parcel oi
practically level land. The test
was made on one-half OF this orchard
a row of iron heating pots was placed
around the outside Of the tract and
one pot at the inside OF each square OF
four trees, making In all, eighty pots
to the acre; OF these only fifty pots
were operated at on time. Owing to
the fact that no crude oil was on hand
at the first part of the test, ordinary
coal oil was used. but afterwards q
carload OF crude oil was shipped into
the town, and substituted. being oi
course much cheaper and In other re-
spects more satisfactory for this pur-
pose. We found that at distance oi
25 feet outside OF the heated zone SC
formed, the fruit buds were practically
all destroyed, while in the space with.
in the heated zone the indications were
that full crop OF all kinds OF fruit
had been saved.
We found that the proportion ol
fruit saved was somewhat less In the
tops Of the trees than near the ground
but Notwithstanding this we believe
that sufficient amount remained "a
insure a good, crop.
| We also made thorough inspection
Of the orchard Of G. T. Matlock To-
Gated about two miles from Grand
Junction and in a portion Of which the
heating pots referred to wero operated
In about the same manner and tc

We Interviewed large Aumber OF
persons In the vaTious sessions visit
ed with reference to the efficacy OF
mere xmudEing and the opinion ap-
peared 70 be practically unanimous
that the mere Emudging process was
useful only in case OF light froets.
1t was generally believed that II vas
possible to raise the temperature from
one 10 two degrees by thorough and
systematic process of smudging, but
that in case OF severe freeze. such
as was sustained during the latter
part OF April the temperature could
not he raised sufficiently by mere
smudsing to be OF any practical
value.
AZ result of ali of7our atnvssttgA-

that the Canon City district ased nsver

as we have heretofore experienced. II
is only a question o; the best method
to be used for raising the temperature
by artificial means and this should b
determined. after further anvestiga-
tions. by n committee to be appointed
by the fruit growers.
In conclusion we desire to express
our appreciation OF the many cour-
tesies' extended to us by the managers
of the fruit growers associations n
the different sections visited and the
business men and fruit growers gen-
orally. We were given every assist
anc possible In securing the lnforma-
ton desired and were en.
abled to perform the work to which
we were appointed In a shorter time
and with greater thoroughnsss thaa
we otherwise could have done. We also
feel especially indebted to Msssrs.

In protecting their fruit crop.
