HARD FOUGHT
GAMET0M0RR0W

terest to the game tomorrow
with Glenwood Springs and per-
haps call for even greater exer-
ton on the part of the players is
the fact that wager of $3.50
has been made between two men
who are closely allied with the
management of each team.
AS announced, Glenwood wired to
Denver and Boulder for players and
their lineup, given below, is of suf-
ficient strength to make a wager of
any nature extremely hazardous.
Grand functions prospects were
beautifully bright until Glenwood
made the interesting change in their
lineup but they can not be blamed
for not wanting to lose to their old
rivals, Grand Junction, in the first
game of the season, and at any rate
Goldy has team which won't back
down from anything and if they only
play tomorrow as they are able to,
the game will be an exciting one and
one which will take well with the
crowd. 1t is just a trifle pleasanter
TO beat Glenwood than any team on
the western slope and as Grand juno
ton did not have many opportuni-
ties to "holIer" last year she will
appreciate it Just SO much more this
year.

Water is taken from the head ditch

The sprinkler plan calls for spray
sprinklers arranged between the trees
or vegetable rows and so placed that
they water all of the ground This
system can be used only where water
is applied under pressure.
Another system is to distribute
water to each tree in an open fiume.

method to individual trees, but is a
waste OF water. though the cost of in

INTERNAL WATERWAY PLANS
Enough Now Proposed to Take Up
Several Million Dollars
All Can Not Succeed.

There are enough internal waterway
schemes now proposed to easily take
up several thousand million dollars,
and all interests in various parts OF
he west are cooperating. says Irri-
cation Age. The projectors of irriga-
ton schemes in the desert schemes
in the desert country of the United
States do not undertake to put their
wishes ahead OF the champions of the
deep waterways from the lakes to the
gulf. Nevertheless ii is clear that all
these things can not be carried out.
and particularly clear that the United
States government will not go very
deeply into them. In the first place,
a great many of the irrigation projects
are local in their nature and can well
be carried on by private capital. and
as to the lakes-to-gulf affair this state
stands ready to start the thing with
s20.o00.0o0. The government has al
ready done good work In the irriga-
tion line. and with the ideas of econo-
my that have grown up in the admin
istration lately. no large appropria-
lions in that direction can reasonably
be expected.

days.
In the White River valley OF Colorado a de-
taohment of troops was surrounded by Utes. and
for four days the soldiers starving and thrsting.

Relief came from Fort D. A. RUSSELL whence Col
Wesley Merritt led force to the rescue In
OF the greatest and quickest rides of army his

After Merritt's legion had thrashed and scat

savages was left in the valley. Lieut. Weir OF the
Ordnance corps, son OF the professor Of draw
ing the Military academy was on a visit to the
west. and in the camp of the Fifth cavalry.
tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandered
out to the camp TO look over the scene of the
great fight He knew Weir and he suggested a
deer hunt.
The ordnance officer agreed to accompany him

EASTERN WAY OF FARMING
Farmers with Those Notions Have
Difficulty In Getting Started
In Alfalfa.

The majority Of the new farmers
coming into our section are from the
central states and I notice that they
bring with them eastern notions of
farming. says writer in Denver Field
and Farm Consequently in attempt
ing to seed alfalfa they can not get
away from the eastern idea of seed
ing with a nurse crop. The climatic
conditions here are such as to make
entirely unwise the use Of eastern
methods During the spring. while
moisture is abundant, alfalfa may ger
inmate and start of nicely but as soon
as the soil begins to dry the nurse
crop robs the legume OF its moisture.
thereby checking its growth or kill
ing II altogether. Then too these
folks come out here with the idea
that they should seed their alfalfa in
August which is the wrong time in
this country.

The cavalry lieutenant knew that the path of
Weir and Hume would be bullet spauered all the

that Weir and his cornrade made their break from

through the second ordeal of fire unhurt. and once
more he dropped back to shelter to prepare for
the third trial with fate.
