GETTING EXHIBIT READY
County Will be Represented
at the State Fair at Huron With
a Fine Exhibit.

After the county commissioners
had made an appropriation of $3.50
to collect a county exhibit for the
corn palace, they later decided that
Dawson county ought to be repre-
sented at the state fair at Huron,
consequently the board made an adj
ditional appropriation of $50 for that
purpose. j. r. Allison was placed in
charge of securing the exhibit and
has commenced to secure the mater
ial to make UP the display.
1t will be impossible for Mr.. Ali
son to get to all parts of the county
to ecure the material, at least the
remote parts, and if any farmer in
those sections has something good
in the way of grains or vegetable pro-
ducts the commissioner will appre-
ciate it very much to have it ship
ped or sent to Mitchell. Parties living
close to Mitchell can telephone "
write Mr.. Allison and he will call for
Lue III is necessary LnaC
all the material be gathered in time
for shipment to Huron so that time
can be had to arrange the display.
Dawson county has some splendid
crops this year and a fine showing
can be made at the state fair. Let
everybody contribute what they have
that is good and perhaps we can car
ry off first prize.
A car will be shipped from Mitch

Drake Drainage Bill.

The Drake drainage bill was passed
for third reading in the Senate Friday
after sharp discussion, which revolved
upon the point of whether or not, un-
der the bill, drawn by Frank c. Goxdy
and presented by Senator Drake. drain
age districts could be formed on the
eastern slope to draw water from the
western slope headwaters and divert
1t to the plains east and north Of Den
Yer. The Drake bill provides that
drainage districts may carry water
Nom one watershed to another. Sens
tor Napier declared this would allow
the eastern slope men TO steal water
from the western slope and introduced
an amendment. which he said was
written In the handwriting and bore
the signature of the framer OF the bill.
Frank C. Goudy. which declared that
water could not be diverted from one
watershed to another by drainage dis
tricts. Senator Napier's amendment
was lost by vote OF l3 to II and the
bill favorably recommended.

School Fraternlties Heard.

Lengthy arguments for and against
the bill abolishing fraternal societies
among the pupils of the high schools
were made before the joint educational
committee of the Legislature Wednes-
day night. The capacity of the Senate
chamber was taxed with a crowd which
remained until midnight.
Frequent outbursts of applause and
cheering from the 300 or more boys
and girls from the high schools, who
crowded the galleries, indicated the in
terest that is being taken in the fight
over the pending legislation.
Much bitterness was manifest when
the anti-fraternity bill was taken up for
public discussion. The opponents Of
the bill were led by Judge James j.
Banks, while Prof. William II. Smiley
principal of the East Denver high
school, led the forces which are fight
Ing for the passage of the measure
Professor Smiley started the discus
sion by reading clippings from news
papers In all parts of the United States
showing that the fraternities are being

more letters without revealing the
Identity of the writer's. In which fra.
ternities were attacked on the grounds
that they tend to draw social lines
among the pupils. that they have an
unwholesome effect on the students,
and that their abolition is necessary
from an educational standpoint.
Judge Banks then called on some OF
the members OF the fraternities, and
Wells and Christian of the manual
training school defended the societies.
Wells delivered an impassioned ad-
dress in defense Of the fraternities and
seemed to make n good impression. In
support of his contentious he produced
a petition signed by the parents Of $50

WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE
NOW IN SESSION AT DENVER
Irrigation Measures.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Representa-
tives Clark and Welser, Senator Car
penter Of the agriculture and irriga.
tion committee called meeting OF
those interested in irrigation. at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
tion districts agreed to submit their
written opinions to the committee on
the legal phase of the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions will
aid the committee greatly in consider
ing which bill to advocate. The three
bills under consideration of the COM
mittee greatly concern farmers and the
state as well.
1t IL proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two of the bills and In the third to
allow owners of desert and homestead
government lands to come in under the
benefit of irrigation districts, while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because 1t
would give more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance Of state lands into irrigation
districts. 1t is backed by the Land
board, which in one county has 10000
acres Of land entered. The value of
the land to the state is increased be-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
land Just as it would tax any other
land held by member of the district,
thereby adding to the revenue of the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al
though not becoming n member upon
the same footing as other members of
the district.

taxes or transact any other business at

When the Bryan county presentation
was over, the committee took up North
Park. Frank J. Annis and J. n. Shipp
spoke for the proposed division. and
Wilton Mari and c. Baldwin against
II. Each presented figures. one to
show that the county would be pros
porous community. and the other that
II would have too small n revenue for
Its purposes. William Mosman also
addressed the committee. urging the
county.
The needs Of that part OF Huerfano
and Costilla counties that are sought
to be made into La Veta county were
presented by Judge Tiffany. He went
into great detail. In an effort to show
that the new county would have more
than enough revenue for Its support.
After hearing OF this county the com.
mitiee adjourned without taking any

LARGEST SUMS FOR PANAMA CA.
NAL. RIVERS AND HARsoRs
AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Washington.-Twom more disputes be.
tween the President and Congress
were revived Friday when the House
committee on appropriations reported
the sundry civil appropriation bill. One
was in regard to the limitation of the
use Of the secret service of the Treas
ury Department. The other was the
appropriation for the examination of
accounts OF railroads under section 20
of the Hepburn rate law. The bill, the
largest of all the general supply bills,
carries an appropriation of $137,022
0O7, or $2G,000,000 less than the esti.
mate.
The committee incorporated In the
bill the same limitation on the use Of
the secret service operatives as was
included in the bill which became law
last winter. 1t was this Limitation that
drew forth the severe criticism of the
President In his annual message last
section 20 of the Hepburn bill $350,OOO
is appropriated, the same as last year.
The sum of $350,000 was voted
year ago. only after the President had
written the speaker and had called
several members TO the White House
to consult on the subject. Testimony
taken by the committee showed that
during the seven months of the pres
ent year only s41. 900 of the fund had
been expended and In this amount
was included the salary OF thirteen ex-
aminers for whom maintenance was
from another fund.
In the bill the President is author
lied with the consent of Cuba to invite
proposals for removing the wrecked
battleship Maine from Havana harbor,
and to communicate with Congress as
soon as may be practicable estimates
based upon the proposals received
hereunder.
The bill carries authority for the
construction of building at Washing
ton at a cost Of 81 SOC, 900 to accommo-
date the geological survey. the recla.
nation service, the general land office
and the Indian bureau.
The largest Item In the bill is for
continuation Of work on the Panama
canal. For this purpose S33.6sS. 900 is
appropriated. or 100000 more than
is carried in the current sundry civil
appropriation bill for that expenditure.
There will be deficiency this year,
however. Of about s5,oO0,000. The sec.
ond largest item is $19.574.5l4 for
rivers and harbors construction work
authorized by law.
Another large item is $lS,6lS.6iG
for the construction OF public build
ings. For the cost Of maintaining pub
lie buildings already erected there is
appropriated $780,, 900 for custodians
and janitors.
The bill also recommends nj the ur-
gent request Of the secretary OF the
Interior the appropriation OF $1.000.000
for the protection Of the public do
main ard the investigation Of entries
Of public lands with a view OF deter
mining their validity. This amount
was increased at the last session from
