MAY MAKE A GREAT TUNNEL
Talk of Cutting Through Tennessee
Pass at Leadville

Director F.. II. Newell of the
United States reclamation service.
was in conference with State Engi-
neer Jaycox in Denver Saturday af-
ternoon, for the purpose of discuss
ing the matter of tunneling through
Tennessee pass and bringing the
headwaters of the Eagle river
through the range. so that they
might be diverted into the Arkansas
river and distributed in and around
Pueblo,
The conference was merely prel-
minary Mr. Newell is investigating
the possibilities of such a big engi-
neering feat. which would involve
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and an immense amount of labor.
The matters discussed by the two en-
gineers were in regard to the am
cunt OF water which could be obtain
ed in case the project should be car
ried ont by the government. The
state of Colorado is greatly interest
ed in the good that would be done
for this side of the range should the
waters of the Eagle river brought
through the divide.
The matter Is at the present time
problematical. Mr.. Newell is not In
position to make any definite ar
rangements but will take the matter
up with the authorities at Wash
ington upon his return.
Mr Newell called upon Gov
Harper and paid his respects. lie
discussed this matter but little with
the governor. although emphasized
the fact that he wished Colorado
could see her way clear to have
map OF the topography OF the state
made Mr.. Newell believes that IL
is important and that the legislature
should set aside an appropriation ior
this purpose. Most every state mas
n topographical map made by Its
own authorities. but Colorado Is IN
possession of those maps only whlch
have hcen furnished by the United
states Geological survey.

DETAILS OF DEATH OF MRS. F..
e. STOCKOVER
JUST FELL OUT OF SURREY
An Incident That Might Have Hap.
pened Any Day On Greeley
Street.-Reaching For
Lines Pitched Out
OF Vehicle

The remains of Mrs. F. E. Stock
over. who was accidentally killed
while out driving In Estes park at
about 1890 Friday morning. were
brought to Greeley at noon Saturday
accompanied by her husband. DR..
Stockover, her parents MIR. and Mrs.
William Mayher. who met the par
ty at Loveland Friday afternoon. and
several friends. who were spending
vacations in the park.
The accident has cast pail of
sadness not alone over the colony of
Greeley people In the park. every
member of whom was friend of
deceased. but over the entire city.
The death OF Mrs. Stockover seems
to have been due to one of those
peculiar accidents for which absolu-
tely nobody is responsible, and that
under conditions that may confront
the average person a dozen times a
day in his every day routine of af-
fairs.
Exactly how the accident happen
ed is not clear even to DR.. Stock
over.
The family were driving eastward
from the village OF Estes park. going
toward the Dunraven or Estes park
hotel, where they were to take din
ner. They had just crossed the
bridge over the Thompson when
something. supposedly an automo-
bile, caused the horses to sny. and
the doctor pulled them up rather
short. causing the little boy who was
occupying the front seat with his
fatehr. to fall out and the rear wheel
of the surry to pass over his body.
Seeing her little son lying bruised
in the road. Mrs. Stockover called to
her husband to save the boy. The
doctor jumped out, and 1t is not
clear in his mind whether he threw
the lines to Mrs. Stockover. or Just
dropped them on the dash board.
As he jumped out the horses start
ed up again, and Mrs. Stockover
leaned over the back of the front
seat to gather up the lines. and in
so doing pitched out headfirst, not
more than 90 feet from where the
boy had fallen. Her neck was
broken and she was dead when her
husband reached her side.
The little girl. Julia. was still In
the rear seat OF the surrey. The
horses were soon overtaken by the
doctor. with no damage to the rig.

MANY SUGGESTIONS BEING OF.
FERED FOR NEW BUILDING
MONEY ONLY IS LACKING
The Full Half Block In Wanted b.
some.-Others Say Plenty Of
Site Already.-AM Are In
Favor Of the New
Building

An article published In last Tues
days Daily Tribune In regard to .
new court house, has certainly stir
red things up to a point where the
people of this city, and probably Of
the entire county have discovered
there is such thing a. court house
here. and also that new one =
needed.
New suggestions on the question
and notifications of the Tribune
idea in regard to the matter have
been coming in every day since the
story first was published. Some say
the plan was good. except it was not
big enough in scope. While the
Tribune suggested the purchase Of
the Baptist church property adjoin-
ing the present county property.
others say the county should buy the
whole half block, taking in the
Camfield corner in the deal.
On this plan the county and church
people might swap property. the
court house be extended westward
on to the church lot. the church put
on lot in the rear of the present
Camfield residence. facing west on
Tenth avenue. The property ON
Tenth street now used for residence
for the sheriff could be sold and the
Garfield home used for sheriff's
residence.
|derable merit, the main question
stood that for patriotic reasons Mf.
CamfisaA would sell his property "a
the county at small figure. He
; would then build splendid resi-
dence on the northwest corner of
Tenth avenue and Ninth street, fac
ing the park This would leave only
one corner. at the northwest cor
ner of Lincoln park that did not have
fine buildings facing the park. and
would conform to the group idea
in the placing of public buildings.
Some day Y. NJ. C. A. building
could be put there. and the scheme
would be complete.
Still another plan for the court
house suggested is simply to build
on the property now owned by the
county. extending the building south
to the alley and west to the line OF
the Baptist church property. making
an L-shaped building with entrance
from the east and north. This would
leave the Jail in the rear of the
building and hidden from view by
the court house.
A third suggestion gives no par
tcular plan for the building. but
calls for the issuing of 2O-year bonds
in order that the increasing popula-
ton for whose benefit largely the
court house must be enlarged. may
have to bear its share of the cost.
Should the money be raised by
special tax levy the expense would
all fall upon the present property
owners.
The discussion is good one. and
every person with an idea on the
question should not hesitate to ex-
press it. as 1t may be found to be the
right one in the long run.

DOCTORS BILLS TOO BIG
SO Roy Farrar Says He had to Raise
the Money

Roy Farrar, only % years old, but
husband and father, gave a
worthless so days note, and, at the
end of that time. being unable to
pay, was arrested. Securing money
under false pretenses is, of course.
a penitentiary offence. That is what
he is charged with.
The pathetic side of it was reveal
ed when Farrar confessed to the
sheriff why he had taken such risk.
Farrar's wife was sick and there
was a baby in the family and 1t was
necessary to have a physician. The
prisoner claimed that he had to
have the money before such services
could be obtained. He is now in jail.

THIRD OF PRESIDENT ROOeE-
VELT'S GREAT POLICIES
APPOINTS FINE COnuTTEE
Will Investigate Conditions in Rural
Districts to Find y Way Of
Making Country Life
More Ideal and
Healthful

Oyster Bay, L. I..o Aug. 10
Asserting his belief that tho increase
of the we'll being OF the American
farmer has not kept pace with that
OF the country as whole. President
Roosevelt has requested five experts
to serve as a commission on country
life and conduct an investigation
aimed at bringing about substan-
tial betterment of the social, sani-
tary and economic conditions on
American farms
He has asked that this commission
seek solution of the problem as to
how farm life can be made less soli-
tary, more replete with opportunity,
freer from drudgery, more comfor-
table and more attractive
The men invited to serve as men,
bers of the investigating commits
sion are Prof. l.. H. Bailey of the
New York State College of Agricul-
ture; Henry Wallace of Wallace
farm. Des Moines, Ia; Kenyon L.
Lutterfield. president of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural college; Gif.
ford Pinchot, of the United States
forestry service, and Walter H. Page
editor of the Worlds work.
RoOsevelt's Third Great Policy
Washington, Aug. 1O.-That the
appointment of commission to in
vestigate country life by President
Roosevelt, marks an epoch in thu
history of the country and also in
augurates one of the president
greatest policies, is the opinion O
Clifford Pinchot. chief OF the fores
Iservice.
The presidents appointment o
this commission" he said. marks tn,
Inauguration of the third of his grea
policies. the central idea of which i.
to see to It that we have not onl,
better crops, but also better
happier. more contented and more
efficient men and women on the
farm
My understanding of the idea in
the presidents mind in appointing
the commission is that while prog
ress in the country has been rapid,
it has not been sufficiently rapid to
keep the farmers boys and girls from
going to the cities.
Farm life ought to be made so
profitable and attractive that the
farmers boys and girls will be am
bilious to spend their lives on the
farm
