In order TO maintain m uninter.

structures as will be permanent, which
neither the acts OF Providence nor the

be as satisfactory As any on the

In the order Of their importance
the structures are:
First. The diversion works, includ
ing the headgate.
Second. The crossings at the sev.

Third. The sluice ways for the sand
and sediment
Fourth The strengthening Of the
banks OF the canal.

Superintendent Phillips says he has
had the hearty cooperation OF most
Of the boards and principals Of the
county. A uniform text book system
has been quite generally carried out.
This is as II should be. both as 4

OF expense. The next step is TO pro-
vide a definite course Of study. which
is now well under way.
To increase the professional inter

into three sections for the purpose OF
studying the Teachers Reading Circle
books and to discuss school room

Historical Sketch Of otsseo Cana

The Otero canal was built In 1890
and constructed as far as King ar,
royo. having decreed priority OF
1873 cubic feet The career OF the
canal has been exceedinly tempest.
uous and SO many things have hap
pened TO II that some people have
lost faith In II altogether. The first
contractors were obliged to take ov.
er the canal and issue bonds secured
by a deed OF trust upon the proper
,y which were pledged rs collateral
for advances made by the First Ma.
tionsi Bank. OF Denver. In 1902 the
O,ero Irritation District ws -orsan
ifed and the canal purchased from
the bank. since which time 1t has
been operated with greater succes,
than ever before. The first elec

DARNElI HAD CLOSE
SHAVE IN ElInA FIRE

j. X. Darneu, editor of the Elida

Two buildings that were burned, Mr.
Darnell was severely burned and had
a fight for his life. The rear of the
new building was close to one OF the
burning frame structures and the
doors of the concrete house caught a.
fire. MIR. Darnell threw a bucket of
water into the burning doors with
the effect that the flames came back
into his face. the smoke and steam
filling his lungs and mOmensarily TAX
ing away his strength. He fell over
against the side of the casing and the
fire burned his cheek and one hand
badly. A fresh current of air reviv-
ed ilim and he escaped. The fire in
this building was then put out.
MIR. Darnells stock inventoried 81,
600 and his building that was burned
was worth s1.5OO He had $4,000 In
surance on the two. but some of
his stuff was saved. he figures hts
loss at s1.500. He had the best print
