Millions Invested.

The government as I have said. has
invested S5tOO0-000 In reclamation works
and by such investment has succeeded
IN irrigatlng over 1000 900 acres OF arid
lands, and it may be likewise stated with
fairness that more than S5OO00O00 has
been added to the value of these lands
With the additions which are eontem-
plated in the completion of irrigation
We: ks now under construction and those
contemplated, the increase Of values will
more than prOpOrtiOnately continue and

brought about by the return of the cost

able the government in the course of
years. where feasible projects exist, TO
increase beyond calculation the wealth of

pansiOn of opportunities for settlement and
for homes; the end to be reached only
when iTrigable lands cease 10 be avail

der present methods non-irrigable, In the
development of mechanical and electrical

Benefits of Irrigation.

Anyone who has visited one or more
Of the reclamation projects now in opera
ton, and sees on the one hand the des-
est covered with sagebrush and barren
ness, and on the other the water flow
ing over the fertile soil, producing heavy
crops Of grain or orchards in fruit, APP
preciates TO the fullest extent the bene-
fits Of irrigation.
The people Of the west therefore, who
are familiar with these wonderful re-
suits in irrigation are highly appreciative
Of the Importance of the reclamation
service, but the great difficulty which
that service encounters is in finishing
the projects now undertaken as against
the clannor for a diversion of the funds
to new fields. In this respect the service
has suffered in not carrying to compile
ton less number of projects than is
now engaged in construction.
Il cannot conceive Of anything which
viii contribute more TO the permanent
wealth and prosperity of the reclama-
ton states and territories than the con-
tinued construction on the broadcast pos
sible scale of irrigation works.

Danger to Be Overcome.

The danger which the government is
undertaking to overcome is the establish
ment Of small irrigation projects in To-
caHties where by such establishment the
larger opportunities are destroyed, thus
preventing enormous acres of lands from
ever acquiring the use of water 1t is
quite true that many small projects ca
pable Of being financed by means of lin
tied means can be carved out of larger
possibilities, but to encourage them
means the loss of the larger possibilities
For lack Of funds the government is at
present often required to surrender pos
sibiliries in water appropriations which
means an enormous loss in future deveI-
Opment of irrigation works. and fear
this is not fully appreciated. 1t is for
this reason that at times private enter
prises are disposed to contend that the
government is obstructing their inter
ests, while from the larger view their
interests are obstructing greater posi-
blllties FOR larger areas of irrigable land
I may mention here what has frequently
occurred to me as source of advantage
both to the states and the federal gov
eminent, and that is the securing from
the various states of uniform legislation
IN the matter Of the appropriation of wa
ter and its beneficial use, and also legis-
iation looking TO the control and conser-
walton of all available water power.

Former Governor Pardee then took the
platform to deliver the address under the
subject assigned to him, But he had no
use for his manuscript He opened by
saving that he was for Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt policies.
Roosevelt was a president who did

them afterwards. And that's the kind
of men we would like to see in public
office now
DR.. Pardee told Of the activities of for
mer Secretary Garfield, who. under the
Instructions of President Roosevelt, with
drew from public entry. many tracts of
land under the belief that these lands
should be held for the people. Now. he
said. Secretary Ballinger has again put
up for entry these lands. and each tract
has in its boundaries a water paWer site.
II don't oppose private enterprise in
the development OF these SITES said Or.

immense rights to private corporations

METHODIST BROTHERHOOD Dis
CUSSES THE FLOOD QUESTION
WANT BEST OF IT
ASK MUCH OF THE ELKs LODGE
Dilatory Tactics Proving Expensive
to Weld County

The Elks and the county commits
sioners have not been able to agree
upon an exchange Of properties, but
will probably get together before
November /. when the option held
by the commissioners on fifty feet
OF the Camfield corner expires. The
Elks submitted two propositions in
writing today to the commissioners,
either of which seems very reason
able.
The commissioners thought the
Elks ought to exchange upon an
equal base, although they would be
only giving the Elks forty-five feet
for the latter's fifty feet, and the
Elks would be moved fifty feet far
ther from the center of the town.
Besides this the Liks would be CIV
ing the commissioners the old church
for nothing, although they have been
made a large offer for it. Members
cf the lodge say they are not running
an elemosynary institution for the
benefit of the county and while they
desire to be reasonable they think
they should be given a portion of the
consideration that was shown to the
gentlemen who had the option on the
Camfield corner.
The latter secured the corner with
a frontage of 125 feet and hand
some building couple of months
ago for $4,000. They sold the in
side fifty feet of this to the county
for $4,000. which leaves them the
corner seventy-five feet and the build
ing for the other $4,000. One OF
the propositions submitted by the
Elks is as follows:
The lodge owns seventy-f1ve feet
and the commissioners fifty feet. The
lodge wants to take half of this. OF
sixty-two and half feet and give
the other half to the county at price
more reasonable than the fifty fee,
upon which they have an option a,
present.
The other proposition is to ex,
change fifty feet of the church prop,
erty for the county's forty-tive feet
of the Camfield property, the county
IT. pay a reasonable sum for the di'
ference in value. In securing thei
option on the Camefild fifty feet tn
commissioners were obligated Il
leave five feet for driveway, whicl
leaves them but forty-five feet to dis
pose of.
Six months ago the county coul'
have bought both properties fo'
about half the figure at which the,
are held today.

CAR SHORTAGE
THREATENS
GREELEY

1t is probably well that the farm
ers are storing rather than shipping
their spuds at the present time, or
there would be the greatest howl
on account of car shortage that was
ever known in Greeley. Although
the movement is only half as active
as this time last year, the commits
sion men are unable to get empties,
and refrigerators are out of the ques-
ton.
1t has been reported that the I'm
ion Pacific cleaned out all their yards
and rushed 500 empty refrigerators
to the western slope for the fruit
crop, with the understanding that
they should be returned to their
road. This has left big shortage
here, and although few common
boxcars are offered, the merchants
are refusing these, as storm seems
imminent. If carload is frozen
the loss falls on the local merchant
One refrigerator arrived at Lucerne
this morning loaded with hay and
five commission men stood about
waiting for the car to be emptied
The merchant who received the hay
settled the question by loading the
spuds in one end while the hay was
being removed from the other.

DEPUTY SHERIFF
RESIGNS HIS
POSITION

Sam Woland, who has been dep
uty sheriff for the past two years, has
resigned and Sheriff Forance has ap-
pointed II. l.. Frazer to fill the vacan-
cy. Mr.. Woland's home is in Ault
and it is understood he will engage
in business in that town.
Mr.. Frazer is a Greeley boy and
Is well qualified to fill the position.
Besides the undersheriff the county
has but two deputies under pay.
Charles Peterson, who has now serv-
ed for year and half, is the other
deputy and he has made such a rec
ord in running down and capturing
criminals that the sheriff considers
him invaluable.
Sheriff iorance has half dozen
sworn deputies in Greeley and one in
each of the surrounding towns whom
he can call on at moments notice,
but these only receive pay for active
service.
The civil business alone is enough
to keep two deputies on the jump
and it is possible that third one
may be added before long. Last
year the sheriff's office earned a
thousand dollars over expenses and
this year it is expected to double
that amount.

new company is formed for the pur-
pose of taking over all agricultural

to bring that line into operation be-
fore the first of the year.
The new company has for officers
President, w. e. skinner; vice presl-
dent, W. A. Harris; secretary, Car
ence l.. Wright; treasurer, a. j,
