SURVEY FOR A BIG DITCH.

The Palisade Tribune makes the
following interesting statement:
During the past several days IA
party of surveyors have been run
ming lines on the south side of the
Grand river, it is said. for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the most fea-
Sible place in which to build a
ditch that will water the large
tract of fine land on the south side
of the river.
II. c. Henry, the gentleman
whom it is alleged, attempted to
block the government High Line
canal, and his son. l.. w. Henry,
together with Geo. Smith, the
man who built the Smith &
Struthers dry ditch from Plateau
creek several years ago, Fred. w.
Barber of Orchard Mesa, n. V.
Foster and Frank Schwalbach,
the surveyor. and other gentlemen
have been circulating pretty free
ly in and about Palsade the past
few days, and indications are that
there is some chance of a ditch be
ing built, providing they can in
terest Chicago capitalists to put
up the money to do business with.
There is certainly a great scope
of undeveloped country on the
south side of the river and it
should be watered and will be
watered some day, whether the
above parties do it or not. But.
when "A ditch is erected it should
be the best one on the map, and
no cheap, halfway affair, that has
its source in a dry creek, should
be tolerated. There are thousands
of inches of water going to waste
every year in the Grand ri lver, and
that stream should be the source
of any ditch project launched for
that fine section of country. The
best is none too good for this val
ley.

SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION
OF DRY FARMERS

Salt Lake City, Jan. 27.-That
the Trans-Missouri Dry Farm
ing Congress which closed its sec
ond convention here Saturday af-
ternoon, will never again be class
ed among. the minor industrial
congresses is conceded by all who
watched the daily increase in at
tendance, interest and enthusiasm.
Beginning with 2S2 delegates the
convention closed with nearly 600
in attendance and when the con-
gress meets at Cheyenne next year
there will be still more.
The congress has been very
modest in its requests for legisla-
ton. A law increasing acreage
homesteads in the arid regions
from 160 to 800, the establishment
of more experimental farms by
the states and boring experiment
tai wells at state expense are the
principal boons asked for. The
congress refuses to be drawn into
the warfare over the government
forestry policy, although an at
tempt was made to bring the mat
ter up.

John b. Williamson, of Cherry Creek
deceased, the heirs have filed petit
ton. George F. Parker of Cherry

Cherry Creek, a quarter interest in
the West extension of the Star mine,

Mascot. Beside this there was $500
in cash. The mining properties nam

amount and he is at present working
them. The heirs named in the petit
ton are James T. Williamson, of Sc
