enlargement of the reservoir to ca
pacity sufficient to water all the land
now partially irrigated and as much
more for which there has never been a
water supply.
About two years ago Keitel Bros.
purchased from Darrow g. Ross about
22OO acres of dry land in that section
and it was their intention to make ar
rangements with the farmers by which
they could secure an interest in the
present ditch and reservoir and by en-
larging the same provide better water
supply for the present afrms and have
sufficient water left for all of their
own lands. After stormy session of
the stockholders, however, Keitels pro-
position was repudiated and matters
have since been at standstill.
Recently Mr.. Devereux, Mr.. Curtin,
f. A. Sunderlin and r. p. Davie Sc
cured an option on Keitels' interest
and begun to plan for the watering of
this choice tract. They have three or
four plans in view but would prefer to
arrange with the farmers for an amic-
able interest in the present ditch and
reservoir system from Rife creek and
with this end in view the meeting of
Saturday was called.
The proposition made by Mr.. Dever-
eux and associates was to enlarge the
ditch to carrying capacity of 40
cubic feet per second and to enlarge
the reservoir so as to give it depth
of 25 feet in 1909 and 80 feet in 1910
new stock in the. company to be issued
for the 1868 shares now held by the
farmers, the total issue Of stock to be
5000 shares.
After the proposition had been read
the promoters retired and the stock
holders entered into a general discus
sion Of the same and it was soon owl
dent that the original proposition wa'
far from popular. There was = genera
,entiment in favor of insisting, hrst Of
all, on the protection Of the present
stockholders in their priority rights

Glenwood Springs lost one of her
Oldest and best known pioneers yester-
day when at $3.50 p. IN. Judge Joseph
Gaylord Pease passed away after an
illness which first became serious about
six weeks ago since when he had grad
ually grown weaker. Bladder trouble
was the immediate case of death and
combined with his advanced years its
development left no hope for him.
Judge -Pease was born at, Windsor,
Conn, March 2s, 1927, and was there
fore past 81 years of age. He came
pwest in ls47, the family settling in
Watertown, Wis, where on the night
of his arrival he met his future wife,
Miss Eliza Turner. He had two bro
thers, both now dead, one having been
killed at the battel of Shiloh.
He was engaged in business in Water
town for several years and when the
city was incorporated was elected the
first city clerk in 1853, and served as
city treasurer in 1868. A few years
later he came to Colorado and settled
in Glenwood Springs in 1888, leaving
here soon after but returning in 1886
since when he had made this place his
home.
Since coming to Colorado Judge
Pease held many important public posi-
tions He was a member of the Sc
cond Colorado legislature as Demo
crat that having been his political faith
since he became old enough to vote,
and was one of the early mayors of
Glenwood, having also served at various
times as town trustee and member and
president of the school board. For is
years he served as clerk of the dis
trict court here and for the past four
or five years had acted as police
Judge Pease throughout his whole
life was. active in public affairs and
was interested in every worthy enter
prise, public or charitable, that came to
his notice. He was very genial man

Last evening Emil Erickson boarded
No. 3 without ticket and was put off
at New Castle As the train was pull
ing out he made dive for it, but
missed his calculations and landed al
most under the wheels, being luckily
rolled out of harm S way, but not be
fore he had been badly bunged up. His
head and arms were cut and bruised
but he was not dangerously injured.
The next victim was John Ryan who
boarded No. eastbound at Grand Val
ley. John tried the top of a car and
while the train was going 40 miles an
hour the pressure became too great and
he was waited off his precarious po-
sition by the rush of air and landed
with considerable force near South

There he lay all night and this morn

badly bruised. Both men were taken

DOWN WITH BOSSES
 SAY REPUBLICANS
Meeting at Douglas When Knives Were Sharpened
 for Today'S Battle,

The sentiment which preva::ed Thursday at a meeting of eight or ten of the republican delegates who will represent Douglas in the republican conventional iBsbee on Saturday was favorable to the deposition of both Boss Kirk and Boss McReynolds and put an end to the republican dissen- sion on their account According to the report from Bisbee the delegates in that city are much of the same opinion. The Bisbee delegates have decided upon Colonel L. W. Powell for delegate to Chicago and it is quite likely that this action will be agreed to by Douglas delegates. It was decided Thursday here that James Cowan of this city will be put forward for the position of chairman of the republican convention on Sat urday
 The Douglas republicans, so it is learned, will make an effort to cap ture the organization of the party this fall and bring the headquarter to this city and place the party management in the hands of a boss to be chosen here. It is claimed that the Bisbee republicans have made a bad mess of the party and that unless it can be rescued from the evil influences ol that city there will be nothing doing for republicans in this county in the future
 During the past few days it has been current rumor on the streets that James Cowan will be the repub lican candidate for mayor of Douglas and the chairmanship of the republi can county convention would be car culated to whet his political appe tite
