THE WATER HOG
AND WATER LORD
Senator DeLong Put on Record By
Collier r's.-Great Article. by
Woman Who Visited the VAL
ley. Appears This Week.
WATER QUESTION IS THE THEME

An interesting interview with
Senator Horace 7. DeLong. the dis
cussion of various conditions and
phases of land in this valley, and
other coment gives great and keen
local interest to the most interesting
article from the pen of Agnes c.
Laut who recently visited Grand
junction, which appears in this
weeks issue of Golfers Weekly and
copies of which have Just arrived
here today
The article is entitled The Fight
for Water in the West, the Water
Lord. and the Water Hog, and the
War for the Water Hole The body
of the headline says This is the
first of four papers written by Miss
Laut who was especially commission
ed by Golfers, and sem on a tour
through the arid" sections of our
lands to make special on-the-spot in
vestigations, why water is literally
the life blood of the growing West, -
and how and why the people have
been selling their birthrights TO un-
scrupulous spectators. and the dan
ger from soulless greed that is now
menacing the peoples .interests and
rights. To preserve these rights for
the people is the underlying principle
of the heroic fight Clifford Pinchot is
making in the course of which he
recently encountered and valiantly
opposed Secretary Ballinger, of the
interior department
The article is very lengthy and very
interesting. There are several splen-
did illustrations including an unusual
one of this valley.
Miss Laut's discussion of the water
problem is really startling in many
ways. In the course of the article
the following interview with Senator
Delong appears;
''ls there a water monopoly? !
asked Senator De Long of western
Colorado.
IF you mean water-power trust,
you don'i need TO ask the question.
Look up the financiers of each. and
look up the power sites on the map!
If you mean "A hard. cast-iron trust
to regulate rates in violation of law
no, there is no trust. If you mean
the best power sites taken and a
friendly community of interest among
the takers to throw all the power
sites in the national forests and ma
tional reserves back into public do
main for general entry. why. yes. |
dare say there might be suspicion
of that kind Of" I'm not sure
whether the Senator said water hog"
or not"

Knights of Columbus to Take up
cudseI in Defense of Widespread
untruths Which are
Being Uttered.
DE LA SALE INTERESTED
Pamphlets Refuting These Untrutha
Are to be Printed and Sent
Forth-Judse Gibbons,
Article.

Members of De La Sale Council,
Knights of Columbus. are Interested
in the announcement made recently
to the effect that the headquarters of
the order is preparing to send out a
pamphlet setting forth the position of
the Catholic church clearly on a mum
Der of points and matters in which it
is alleged the relations have been mis-
represented.
The articles for the pamphlets are
from the pens of eminent Catholics
throughout the country, and one OF
the first to receive attention will be
the late reference to Joan of Are in
an unfavorable light. From Chicago
comes the following report:
Defense of the Catholic church from
the attacks of agnostics, atheists, and
from free thinkers, taken up b. the
Knights OF Columbus in a series of
lectures, has been enlarged by the
Inauguration OF series of replies on
specific subjects in history. The
campaign is being conducted under
the auspices of General James Shields,
counsel OF the order.
Letters, pamphlets and books viii
be circulated throughout the country
from the headquarters here main
tanned by a committee. The story OF
Joan of Arc, said by the committee to
be the basis of many attacks in which
the Catholic church is held response
bic for the burning at the stake of the
girl soldier, is the subject of the first
reply. It is written by Judge Gibbons
of the Cook county circuit court, a
student OF church history.
