COLORADO FARMERS SUE
WATER CANAL COMPANY
Gross Mismanagement Basis
for Injunction Demand

PUEBLO. Colo, JUNG 12.-Charging
gross mismanagement, farmers living
along the Colorado canal today filed
suit in the district court against the
Twin Lakes land and water company,
asking temporary injunction to pre-
vent the sale of water rights. The
plaintiffs also ask for the appointment
of receiver for the Twin Lakes COM
pany and the right to form an inde-
pendent company to take over control
of the canal.
The plaintiffs acknowledge the
ownership of the canal by the company,
but maintain it has not the right to
sell additional water rights, thereby
robbing them of water.
The suit involves millions of dol
lars worth of property. 1t is believed
to be the beginning of extensive liti-
cation over water rights throughout
the state

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger has just desig-
mated 27O,000 acres of land in New
Mexico and 4e, 900 acres in Montana al
coming within the provisions of the

These lands are semiarid and while
very fertile If properly cultivated must
be farmed according to dry farming
methods The governments idea in
giving these large farms to settlers is
to make possible biennial farming.
The dry farmer can cultivate 16O
acres one year. while he is carefully

left over from last week.
New York, Nov. 8.-Clarence HI
Mackay, president of the Postal tele-
graph company, returned to New
York today, enthusiastic over the
business outlook in the west.
The people out there" he said,
are not watching the horizon for a
return of prosperity, it already has
arrived. This belief of Mr.. Mackay
was based, he said, on observations
made by him during an eight thou
sand mile trip of inspection of his
company's property.
Eastern people who do not go
west, said Mr.. Mackay, have no
comprehension Of its growth and de-
velopment San Francisco is a mo-
dern marvel of American courage and
faith, and Seattle of American energy
and skill.
"All the way through the middle
west signs were equally gratifying.
The farmers have learned the lesson
OF modern industrial development
through savings achieved by co-opera-
ton and are forming great farming
enterprises. The beneficial character
of such agricultural progress cannot
be over estimated. 1t brings the
bone and sinew Of the land into har-
mony with the cooperative spirit that
has evolved our great manufacturing
centers and puts the United States so
far ahead of all other countries that
her commercial supremacy is unques-
toned"

GOVERNOR BRADY WILL VISIT
CHICAGO

Governor James H. Brady is taking
great interest in, two coming events
TO be held in Chicago November 16 to
December 4, the National Farming
congress and the Land and Irrigation
exposition which he expects to attend
III person, accompanied by a delega-
ton from Idaho which will outnum-
Der any former representation of the
state at similar gathering.
Frederick Griswold, assistant sec
retary OF the Seventeenth National
irrigation congress, In writing of the
exposition says:
Pledges already given render it
certain that this display will outclass
any OF the shows ever seen in the Col
iseum, which has become famed as
the best place In the middle west for
high class exhibits.
The exposition is not to be mag
nified country fair - it is to be
unique. Its success is assured beyond
the shadow of doubt.
Primarily the exposition is meant
for those who lack knowledge of the
wonderful opportunities open to the
settler. There are thousands toiling
in eastern Offices and factories to
whom information OF this sort will
come as blessing, for they are tired
of their chains, but do not know how
to break them. Other thousands,
coming out Of mere curiosity possibly
will see what home in one OF ma
lures favored spots means and will
plan to join the army that is march
ing westward.
COLONIZATION has never been as
keen as today, and the desire to take
advantage Of the agricultural posi-
bilities that are offered has resulted
in an extraordinary display of land
hunger on the part of the general
public. And the majority of those
in the middle west who are display
ing this anxiety to join the movement
back to the soil realize that they
lack accurate knowledge of the pro-
blems of irrigation, dry farming and
the drainage of over flowed lands.
Let this information be presented in
an attractive manner, and the liveliest
interest will be shown.

Feats Of Clever Chemists.

Two remarkable instances in which
the chemists laboratory has sup.
planted the farmer and the field are
worth mentioning. There was time
when India produced large quantities
of indigo every year on plantations
The planters were warned that over
in Germany chemists were at work
making indigo, but they only laughed
Then the announcement came that
Synthetic indigo, made in the labora-
tory, was a commercial success. II
was absolutely the same as the nat.
ural indigo, only, if anything, little
bit purer. Now India no longer sup
plies the world with indigo A Ger
man laboratory makes the whole sup
ply, and even India buys in Germany
There was time when large areas
in France were devoted to the cultiva-
ton of madden root, from which the
red dye alizarine was made. Again
German chemist improved upon ma
ture and made artificial alizarine at a
cost of less than one-third that of
the natural product. 1t wasn't an in
ferior imitation; it was the real thing.
Now Germany supplies the world with
alizarine. The only red cloth you will
see to-day that is dyed with the nat
ural dye is in the trousers of the
French gendarme. And this is purely
for sentimental reasons. The French
Government maintains farm and
grows few acres of madden, that the
French army need not be dependent
upon its old enemy, Germany, for
anything it uses.-Tit-Bits

Going Fifty Miles an Hour.

Utica, N. Y.-Mrs. Ernest H.
Smith, whose husband is business
man in Utica, was instantly killed in

her neck and fracturing her skull.
The other occupants of the car re-

Calamity.

Many stories are current in legal
circles regarding ex-Judge w. t. Wal
lace. one of the best known jurists in
the history of San Francisco, but here
is new story vouched for by Billy
Barnes, at one time District Attorney.
1t runs thus:
Wallace was examining candi-
date for admission to the bar. All
the questions had been satisfactorily
answered and the lawyer-to-be had
passed so brilliantly that Wallace de-
cided to put a simple question to
terminate the ordeal Gazing be-
nignly at the young man, he asked:
What is the liability OF COM
mon carrier?'
Although lawyers the world over
and from time immemorial have
labored with this problem, though
millions of words have been taken
into the record of various cases in
which this unanswerable question
was involved, the fiedgling calmly
eyed the Judge and at last solemnly
replied:
1ouI 11Ouoi, Hpust pSS you "
withdraw that question. / did know
the answer, but unfortunately have
forgotten
For minute Wallace eyed the
young man, then turning to the law
yers who we're grouped around him,
remarked:
Gentlemen, this is sad case, in
fact calamity. The only living man
who ever knew the liability of com
mon carrier has forgotten. San

New York City.-The unfortunate
and untimely death of Cadet Byrne
has focused American attention on
football as it is played to-day and
given to it the worst black eye it has
had in many year. For coupled
with the West Point fatality is the
case of Midshipman Earl Wilson, the
Navy quarterback, who was probably
mortally injured in flying tackle in
the napolis-Villanova game.
The unfortunate accidents have ex-
cited interest all over the country,
and the question that is being asked:
Are such accidents avoidable?n is
being answered in the negative.
AS a result of the death of Cadet
Byrne, of West Point, and the dam
gerous injury to Midshipman Wilson,
of Annapolis, in games of football, it
is likely some action will be taken
by the college football conference as
ISOLATION to eliminate certain rough
features of the present game.
Four years ago, after the death of
Harold Moore, of Union College, who
was injured in a game with New
York University on Ohio Field, con-
ference of universities and colleges
was called by Chancellor MacCracken,
of New York University, which prac-
tically revolutionized the game. Mass
plays have given way for the greater
part to more scientific methods and
greater stress has been laid, experts
say, on speed than on weight. 1t
was thought the new rules of open
play, the forward pass and the out
side kick would minimize the danger
of the sport.
1t has been said that the greatest
mass plays, but II is pointed out in
very significant manner by those op-
posed to even the so-called new game,
than the Navy, and that the weight
question, therefore, can hardly enter
into the present discussion
: The opinion was general among all
the ex-college players seen that the
trouble lies not in the differences of
weight, not in the differences in meth
DDS of training-for it is pointed out
that the best conditioned undergrad
uate bodies in the world are the corps
of cadets at West Point, and the
brigade OF midshipmen at Annapolis
not in inferior football knowledge,
nv III duy VI Inc usually accepted
theories, but In the rules themselves.
There never was harder player,
a more difficult man to stop, or one
who knew more Of the ms and outs
of mass playing under the old rules
than Robert p. Herman, of Harvard.
In discussing the new game as OPP
posed to the old, with particular re-
gard as to whether the rules had been
really revised, he said:
"They say they've opened the
game. Maybe they think they have.
But just look carefully at the penal
ties that surround an incompleted
forward pass. On the first and second
downs an incompleted forward pass
entails the loss of fifteen yards. Well,
a teams hardly going to take a
chance on that play; then, when it
has, it is backed up somewhere near
its own goal line or even in its own
territory anywhere when it's playing
against an opponent of nearly equal
strength. 1t would indeed be too haz-
ardous.
Again, on the third down, IL a
team tries to pull off the forward
pass and it falls to the ground, the
