and the military cape is in high favor.
One imported model is developed in light
fawn broadcloth with seltcolored but
tons and silk cord ornaments. The full
circular cut of the cape, the deep yoke
and the stole tab that is thrown over the
shoulder, give an air of distinction to
this cape despite it's simplicity of cut.

Some Water statlstics.

Accordhy u the secerse Of the
pump hopss, IA Junta used AS .y3s. :
6l3 gallons OF water from January l..
1909. to July IS. 1903. = Deriod OF
2os days. This is an average OF
7o0.eCo gallons OF water ~ day for
the seven months. The total Expense
OF operating the pumping plant for
the period OF 2oS days was ". isi .ss.
or an average OF about two and one
half cents per thousand gallons. The
expense account includes cost OF coal.
about one carload per month. oil. re-
pairs and salary OF bumpers.
During the first twenty-eight days
OF July the total number of gallons
pumped was 27.i77.9si. This Is an
average OF very close to a million
gallons day. During the month OF
January, 1909. the total number Of
gallons pumped was l5.4S3.slo. or
abou, 100000 gallons per day In
April the total xnumber OF gallons
pumped was 2l .605,I9
In Rocky Ford during the month Of
July 100000 gallons Of water were
used and under the meter system
the revenue derived was about 81 900.
During the same month La Junta use
seven times this amount OF water and
the total revenue derived was about
81, 400. Seven times the amount Of
water and only "A third more revenue.
A test OF the meter system is now
being made at the residence OF Jas
McNeen. An accurate meter record
Of the amount of water used on his
lawn has teen kept since August 9TH.
For the first six days 1882 gallons Of
water were used in irrigating the
lawn. or an average OF nearly ! 900
gallons per day This does not include
the water used for domestic purposes.
The committee appointed by the La
Junta Industrial Association Ia make
q thorough investigation Of the water
problem and the various propositions
that have been submitted guarantee
ing pure water supply have not as
yet held meeting. The committee
was appointed to confer with a like
committee from Rocky Ford. and both
were to confer with the city councils
OF their respective towns with a view
to inaugurating definite plans TO Sc
cure pure soft water supply from
the numerous and unfailing springs
known to exist in the Horse Greek
country. sixty-five miles northwest OF
La Junia. II is the opinion Of ex-
perts that thesee springs can be de-
yeloped and furnish a supply of water
sufficient for the needs OF a. least
half a dozen towns in the Arkansas
Valley. Good water is the best as
set that any community can Acquire.
Without IL no town or city can thrive

advantages or how tempting the in

The saloons did not close until Ju-
ly sth, and there were nine less ar
rests and the amount OF fines AS
sessed WAS sii.05 less than year
ago. II is quite probable. however.
that this is not fair comparison.
The month OF August, this year aud
last. will probably make a better
showing for prohibition.
Although the total cash fines as
scssed were greater last year than
this. the amount Of cash fines paid
into the city treasury WAS si20.75
greater. A year ago only $50 In cash
was paid into the city treasury. and
this year S203.s5. This looks as
though the police court dclinqnents
were better supplied with coin Of
the realm under prohi. itlon than
under the saloon regime.
Dad" Stephenson. whose long
newspaper experience causes him to
be . good observer. says that he hs.
only seen three drunks In La Junia
