Luncheon WAS eaten in the vicinity
OF the Hanging bridge and was
bridge and was greatly enjoyed, as
the mornings tramp had given the
excursIonlsis n sharpened appetite.
Water was turned into the huge
wooden conduit for the benefit of the
visitors and they were afforded an op-
portunity of seeing II flow down the
pipe line as II will when the great en-
terprise Is completed and in opera
ton. Only in n few places was the
leakage OF the conduit of sufficient i'm
portance TO attract attention. and can
be remedied without serious trouble.
The pipe line is thirty-six inches In
diameter from the inlet down to the
intake, a distance OF something like
half mile. and 10 capable of carry
ing twenty-nine cubic feet OF water per
second of time. From the intake down
to the reservoir the pipe Is thirty
inches in diameter and has n carrying
capacity OF twenty-five feet OF water
per second OF time. Only about half a
mile of the conduit remains to be laid
until the work is completed from the
inlet to Gorge station. and construc-
ton is progressing nicely, The MEM
bers OF the inspection party were
greatly pleased with the character OF
the work that has been done and they
had no criticism to make, either In
relation to the engineers plans, or to
the manner OF their execution by the
contractors. II was nearly O'Clock
when the party got back 10 town. but
the day had been a pleasant one In all
respects and they did not experience
that WEAKNESS which It had been pre-
dicted the trip would entail. A visit
was made to the reservoir and settling
basins on the way home. Carriages
were in waiting for the party at the
reservoir and Its members rode into
town from that point.

Be Here Saturday to Tell Ranchers Fow to Cult :

ID the Matter Invited to Meet him at the Office Of
Raesda1e & Son.

There is a large acreage of land in
the neighborhood Of Canon City that
can be utilized to good purpose in the
cultivation OF sugar beets. indeed, will
for a long time. at least, will lie idle
and unproductive unless dedicated to
such a use. The marvellous develop
ment, of large areas in Pueblo. Otero.
Bent and Prowers counties by the in
PRODUCTION of the sugar beet industry
makes II certain that II would be a
success here.
The exceptional advantages enjoyed
by the ranchers OF the Canon City dis
trict in the matter Of irrigation Isnd-
ers this territory more than ordinar-
lily favorable for the establishment OF
the sugar growing industry. II is be-
lieved that beets produced here would
be unusually large and would contain
the maximum OF saccharine. quail
ties that make them exceptionally val
liable to both the buyer and the seller.
The fact that the company will pay
the Canon City grower exactly the
same price iUr MS DeStS tnal lHe Heu
living within sight OF the factory at
Rocky Ford gets for the same product
is a matter that should not be forgot
. ten. II sufficient encouragement Is
given the company by the ranchers O!

sent here TO show the local growers
how to cultivate the beets and pre-
pare them for market. This is done in
all communities where they are lar
r.ly grown and is found TO be = great

with the unusual rainfall We have
had in this section of the state during
the last few months II ought to be an
easy matter to raise sugar bects here
this year. and we believe that II would
be to the advantage of some of our
agricuIturists to give them trial
There is considerable interest in su-
gar beet culture among the farmers
OF this county and It is thought tina,
it will be chrystallized by the coming

A GOOD THING If WELL DONE.

Report has it that Mr.. Denechaud, of New
Orleans hotel fame, is to erect hotel at
Sulphur Springs, Covington. 1t is a wonder
that the virtue of these springs has not led
to the investment of capital before this.
There are sui phur, nagnesia and iron springs
of great medicinal value that can be utilized
as curatuer agents of equal power to those
Of Hot Springs8And other places that have
attracted thousands of invalids every year.
A hotel constructed to afford the same sys-
tenn of bathing as obtains at other popular
sulphur springs with the opportunity for ex-
pert medical treatment and advice, next
door to large city like New Orleans, should
prove profitable venture both financially
and in it's benefit to the sick.
It appears that the success Of such hotel
only awaits the advertising that will make
it known to the people. Aside from the
curative properties of the waters Of these
springs, with hot and cold baths, as may be
prescribed, the mildness and healthfulness
of the winters of this climate should be at
tractive to those who wish to escape the
severity of the northern winter AS a sue
cessful hotel man, it is presumed that Mr..
Denechaud will thoroughly advertise his new
hotel. As result of this advertising not
only wiz he benefit himself but Covington
and every hotel and boarding house in Cow
ington will prosper through the notoriety
Covington will gain in that way.
