TAFT |SA MILE HIGH
PRESIDENT REACHED DENVER To-
DAY IN TRIP WEST.
Will Visit the Fair at Pueblo and
Thence Go to the Gunnison Tun-
mel; One of the Greatest Engineer
ing Feats. of the Century; Thou
sands of Acres of Land Are to
Be Irrigated BY 1t.

Denver, Sept. 2l.-President Taft
reached the mile high city, today in
his tour for the conquest of the west,
and Colorado proved its loyalty by
giving him one of the most enthusi-
astic ovations he has yet received.
The president will spend the night
afternoon, when he will visit Colora-
do Springs, going thence to Pueblo,
where the state fair is in progress.
Glenwood and Montrose will be visit
ed Thursday. AT the latter place the
president will play prominent part
in the Inauguration of one of the
greatest engineering triumphs of the
century.
The GunniSon Tunnel.
The Gunnison tunnel, the first pro-
ject undertaken by the government
reclamation service, work on which
has been progressing steadily for four
and one-half years, is now completed,
and on Thursday, President Taft will
sonally open the gates of the tunnel
turning the flow of the Gunnson riv-
er into the magnifcently constructed
bore, main and distributing canals of
this enormous project, which will ir
rigate 10000 acres of choicest land
now semi-arid.
Gunnison tunnel is located in Mont
rose county, in the Uncompangre Val
ley of Colorado. The two gangs of
men boring the tunnel met at 5:45 p.
m. July at a point 1882 feet from
the intake on the Gunnison river. The
tunnel is 10000 feet (siX miles) long,
llxl3 feet inside measurement, and
lined throughout with cement. The
main canal is 80 feet wide at the bot
ton, SO feet wide at the top, and the
average depth of water is 10 feet. The
is 1900 cubic feet of water
second.
Cost of the Tunnel
The cost of the tunnel and distrb-
uting canals when completed will be
more than $5,00O,OOO, and perpetual
water rights will be sold to actual
settlers at approximately $35 an acre,
being based upon the actual cost OF
the tunnel. Ten years time will be
allowed for payment, without interest.
The lands to be irrigated are suitable
for fruit growing and the raising of
all kinds of farm crops. The water,
after it leaves the tunnels, will have
a 372-foot fall, which will be used to
generate electric power sufficient to
light every town and every farmhouse
in the Uncompangre Valley and pro-
vide power for all kinds of CONNER
cial and industrial purposes. The
lands under this project will afford
homes for all time to come for popu-
lation of at least $4,000 American citi-
zens. Already there are three mod
ern towns Montrose, Olathe and Del
ta-lOcated in the valley

Methodist Episcopal Church An
other Wear

To The Free Press: In the matter of
the return of the pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church for another year

the superintendent, where the rules

HaYrope Is Stolen.

NJ. J. Ryan telephoned to Sheriff
Donahue this morning that a man
stole his hayrope early this morning,
and had been seen coming toward
Mankato with it. The man who had
the hayrope also had six horses, so it
would be easy to find him. Sheriff
Donahue went out to meet the man,
but failed to find him.

account of the part taken in
the fight charges We're preferred

himself and was regularly or

His plea for scientific boxing
won his case.

Swanton, March 5.-W. c. Butter
field treasurer Of Swanton village was
arraigned before Judge NJ. Nj. Post Of
the city court in ST. Adams yesterday
morning on the charge Of embezzling
money to the amount of $4,000, which
he had received in his official capac-
ity. Examination was waived and he
was held for the March term of Frank
lin county court Bonds of 5000 were
quickly furnished States Attorney
Elmer Johnson of st. Adams prose
cuted the case
The arrest grew out of the exami-
nation of the village accounts by the
trustees and auditors, and the com
plant against the treasurer was made
by the American Fidelity company OF
Montpelier, who are on Butteriield's
bonds as treasurer. 1t is understood
that Butter6eld claims the village
owes him a large amount for services
and that he is not short in his &C
counts to the amount named; and Il
the amount due him was paid, the
shortage would be wiped out.

We have not yet seen the returns
from all the towns in the state of the
license vote of Tuesday but what we
have seen appear to indicate a falling
off in the no license majority in the
state as a whole. This may not mean
anything but a lack of interest in
towns where the result is foregone
conclusion, and, then again it may
mean a feeling Of disgust at the over
reaching of the prohibitionists in the
legislature last fall in taking away
the fees from the towns which vote
license. One thing is sure and that is
that the argument that taking away
the fees would reduce the number Of
license towns is exploded Not only
is the number not reduced but the no
license majority in the state as a
whole appears to have been cut down
or at least to have remained station
airy. Under the new law the four
towns of Burlington, Bennington, st.
Adams and Colchester are actually
taxed and will have to pay into the
state treasury some $4,000, just be-
cause a majority Of the voters in
these towns believe that the best way
for them to control the liquor traffic
is to license saloons instead of fight
ing concealed dives 1t is just as
honorable on the part of the state as
bank-robbing is on the part of indiy-
iduals The one little, narrow, bigot-
ed and pitiful argument in favor OF
the steal is now proved humbug and
it stands forth in its true light.
