there may be in all their chaff we
will not stop to discuss at this

to refer to these questions in a gen.
eral way, that our people may be-
gin to think about them. We will
say this much, that history does
not record an instance where re-
formers and senseless opposers
have ever built a city or developed
a country. The men who have de-
veloped this country have been
those who went ahead, regardless
of the clamor of lot of small fry,
built towns, exploited the country

ergy put into the business. IL is
this class of men who create a de-
mand for labor and gather the cap
ital wherewith to pay. We suggest
to our people that we form a large

Washington, Nov. 15.-Ninety

today upon former Sheriff Joseph
F. Shipp of Chattanooga, Tenn,
by the supreme court of the Uni
ted States for contempt of court
in failing to prevent the lynching
of Negro, Ed johnson, convicted
of assault, but whose execution
had been stayed by the court.
Luther Williams and Nick Nolan
were sentenced to imprisonment
for ninety days for connection
with the lynching and Jeremiah
Gibson, the jailer, Henry Padgett
and William Mayors, all of Chatta-

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

I'M
Recently one of our most dis
tinguished men lectured to the
people of Denver. In the course
of his stay of two days, he said
many good things. He gave much
good advice, not alone for our peo-
ple. but suitable to all classes OF
citizens. Among the many things
said. he emphasized the Importance
of the individual Negro solving his
own problem. This is a most I'M
portant truth, and its full purport
should be understood by all our
people. 1t seems hard and rather
difficult for us to realize that each
person and family has its own
problem. That this race problem
is no problem, but series OF prob
lens dealing directly with the IN
dividual.
DR.. Washington especially urged
upon our people the Importance OF
adding something each year to their
homes as permanent improve
ment something that will serve to
increase the value not only OF the
property itself, but will add some
thing to the values and beauty OF
all adjacent holdings. Doing this
tends to destroy that phase OF pub
lie sentiment which classes our peo-
ple as undesirables. A man with
a home, which he regards above a
mere place to board, is classed as
a good citizen. Such man has an
interest in all public questions at
fecting his city. Such is the case
in Denver at the present time.
Public improvements Of a stupen-
duous nature are up for the people
TO vote upon. For years there has
been cry to make this denver
the Beautiful" F." How well public
spirited citizens have succeeded Is
to he seen in the numerous beautl-
full parks, boulevards and the
miles of paved and beautifully
LIGHTED streets. All over the city
magnificent, modern office build
ings are being erected, because this
is Denver the Beautiful. Are you

Under the Northern Colorado lr-
rigation Company's canal, better
known as the High Line Ditch, and
the Antero and Lost Park Reser-
voir system, the selling price OF
water for irrigation purposes to
purchasers of land outside the
bonded district is $50 per acre-foot.
At $50 per acre-foot, the $4,000
acre-feet at Lake Cheesman would
be worth $4, 100000, or only 1925
less than was allowed by the ap-
praisers for the physical property
at the reservoir and all of the COM
pany's water rights combined.
Under the Castlewood and asso-
ciated reservoirs, near Denver, the
minimu selling price of water is
$50 per acre-foot.
At $50 per acre-foot, the water
rights of Lake Cheesman are worth
sc, 400, 900, or 81 500, ,075 more than
was allowed by the appraisers for
the physical property at the reser-
voir and all of the company's S water
rights combined.
In the Arkansas Valley, it was
shown that the water rights sold
at the rate of $S3.33 per acre-foot.
At 1888 per acre-foot the water
rights of Lake Cheesman are worth
$685. 400, or $685. ATS more
than was allowed by the appraisers
for the physical property at the
reservoir and all of the company
water rights combined.
The lowest selling price of water
under large project in the neigh
borhood of Denver is $50 per acre
foot. This price is obtained by
the Standley Lake system, from its
agents, who are selling water with
land and handling both in large
quantities. The agents obtain from
the purchasers of the land $40 an
acre-foot for the water.
At $40 an acre-foot, the price
actually paid for water by pur-
chasers of land under the project,
the water rights of Lake Cheesman
are worth $5,600,000, or $799,075
more than was allowed by the ap-
praisers for the physical property
at the reservoir and all of the com
pany's water rights combined.
The Lake Cheesman storage
rights are the very best that can
be secured in Colorado under any
circumstances.
For irrigation purposes the wa
ter from Lake Cheesman can be
delivered to thousands of acres of
land lying above and east of the
High Line Ditch, too high to Sc
cure water from any system now in
existence. This fact has been de-
termined by careful surveys made
by the Water Company's engi-
neers. Or it can be delivered to
any one, or several irrigation sys-
TENS supplying water near Den
yer, without the expenditure of
dollar for equipment.
Because of it's great capacity,
the value of Lake Cheesman must
be determined as part of an active
irrigation system, and not as sup
Elemental supply, like many small
er reservoirs.
In addition to the value of Lake
Cheesman for irrigation or domes-

tic water purposes, it possesses a
value for the generation of cleo
trical power that can be developed
without affecting the worth of the
water for domestic or irrigation
use.
The power possibilities have
been investigated carefully by the
best hydraulic engineers in the
United States. According to their
reports the value of the Lake
Cheesman and the Platte Canon
Ditch rights can be increased at
least $2,000,000 by combining the
diversions at Lake Cheesman dur
ing the irrigating season.
Taking the quantity of water the
company has secured from these
sources. and which could have been
diverted at Lake Cheesman, as
basis, Mr.. F. G. Finkle, of Los All
geles, Cal, one of the best-known
hydraulic engineers in the West,
reports that the company can gen
crate not less than 1900 electrical
horsepower daily.
The cost of a series Of power sta
tions, supplemental reservoirs, for
which sites are already owned by
the company, and conduits to con-
vey the water to the power stations
he estimates at less than So, 700, 900.
The operation of the plants, he
estimates, would produce a net
profit of not less than $253, ,45O per
annum. Capitalized at 5 per cent,
this would place value of So, ,O69,-
900 on the power project. Deduct
ing the cost of development, and
the added value of the water rights
over and above their value for do
nestle or irrigation purposes would
be at least $2,O69,000 or nearly as
much as the board of appraisers
allowed for all of the company s
water rights for the purpose OF sale
to the city.
This power could be developed
without the waste of any water.
The supplemental reservoirs below
the power plants would retain the
water used for power until 1t was
required for distribution either to
an irrigation or domestic supply
system. The use of the water for
power would not necessitate
draft on Lake Cheesman that
would affect its value as a reserve
supply for the city against drouth.
The estimates are based on using
the same quantity of water that IS
now taken from Lake Cheesman
and the Platte Canon supplies dur.
ing the year, and regulating the
use over the entire year from the
supplementary storage reservoirs.
If Lake Cheesman were being
appraised for the purpose OF sale
to private parties for an invest
ment there is no justification in the
selling price of water or electrical
power in the vicinity of Denver for
a valuation of less than $4,000, 900,
for this one component of the Wa
ter Company's system.
Its commanding position in rela-
ton to the water supply of Denver
makes it even more valuable to the
city than to private parties.
There is no basis of computation
from which it is possible to arrive
at any conclusion except that the
valuation placed upon Lake Chees-
man by the appraisers is distinctly
favorable to the city, and as unfa-
vorable as possible to the Water
Company.

How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
Is An Inherited Blood Disease OF Not.

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or simply form of &C.
zema. Even physicians are often puz-
bled in their diagnosis The best way
for any one afflicted is to go to Cough
Inns Pharmacy, or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain so
cents worth of poslam. Apply this,
and if the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema, and in cur
ing acne, herpes, blotches, letter. piles,
salt rheum, rash BARRIERS and other
forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all sur
face skin affections.
