Choice of Weapons.

An old sea captain. who had
spent many years whale fishing in
the South Seas, had the misfor-
tune to offend famous French
duellist. The latter demanded
satisfaction. but, although the
captain offered an apology. moth
ing would satisfy the Frenchman
but a duel.
Confident in his skill as a
swordsman and as a shot, the
Frenchman awaited with equanim-
ity the arrangement of the pre-.
liminaries.
The day came when honour
was to be satisfied" Arriving on
the scene with his seconds, he
found the captain and his friends
in readiness.
Advancing with smile towards
his opponent, he greeted him with
the utmost politeness, and care
lessly asked what weapons were
to be used. His CONSERVATION

New Irrigation Project.

Several Paonia Citizens are in
terested in the new Cedar Canal
and Reservoir project and from
them we learn that work is now
progressing most favorably. They
announce that they have acquired
water rights, rights of way, reser-
voirs, etc. to supply about 10000
acres OF fine government land
with wafer. at an expense so far
of close to two hundred thousand
dollars. The land is similar in
soil and productive character to
that Of the Lilylands, in which so
many of our people have invested.
The lands are declared to be
choice fruit lands in every case
equal to those of the famous Pali-
sades region. Water will be on
part of this land in time for crop
this year. the ditch being already
constructed over part and five
miles being contracted for COM
pletion by June 10th, 1909. Parties
from Paonia. Montrose. Nebraska
and Kansas are interested in the
project. The company holds
100000 shares of stock in the
treasury and this will be ample to
complete the enterprise. The
company price on this stock is at
present $1.00 per share and the
price will be advanced as work
progresses. The land to be irri-
gated is near Cedar. in San
Miguel county, about 30 miles
southwest of the Lilylands.

nights. and if their hearers have
anything TO say about it. they will
be invited to come back again

the Jefferson and Geneva reports
in this paper the past two days,
