by a Denver syndicate, according to the
following article which appeared in
recent issue of the Denver Times:
"Thc conflict between the eastern
slope and western slope water users
over the bringing of waters through thA
mountains to this side of the range

local political and financial boss. in al
vice of the federal government. Evans,
in conjunction with d. A. Camield. has
secured control of the Henrylyn ditch
project and sold 100000 worth Ct
bonds with which to do the construc-
tion work and western slope water
users are bringing pressure to bear en-
the government to interfere with the
scheme.
"The Henrylyn directors recently s.

among the largest in the state. Some
time ago the contracts were let to St.
Louis parties to drive the tunnel. con

cost about $3.OO0,OOO.
"The contract. for some unknown
reason, was held up and it was stated
by the managers of the irrigation dis

at first suspected. The Camfield Devel-

and Frank b. Gibson, secretary of the

massacre, the cattlement are willing to
pay the bounties for which the state
has made no provision recently.
If the scheme is carried out, the In
dians from the reservations in Utah,
who were driven out of Colorado recent
ly when they came over presumably to
hunt deer, will be invited to come
back next year and bring their families
along. The Colorado Utes will come up
from their reservation and camps will
be established at central points, under
the direction of the game wardens and
their deputies. The Indians will be in.
structed not only to kill the wolves
themselves, but to locate their dens
and secure the whelps before they have
chance to grow dangerous.
The wolves of the White river tin
Der country are exceptionally large and
fierce. A head of one of them, which
Commissioner Holland secured recently,
shows them to have heavy, capacious
jaws and long, keen teeth which look
as if they could snap a dogs backbone
in two with single crunch. For this
reason it is thought that the plan for
hunting the wolves with dogs, as sug
gcsted at one time, would prove rather
unsatisfactory. 1t looks as if it were
up to the Indians, and it is believed
that they will welcome the outing with
great pleasure, particularly since it
means getting all the food they want
while they are away from home, with
the chance of bounty money thrown in.

BAll|NGER APPROVES THE HIGH line

Parties interested in the big High
Line irrigation project near Grand June
tion, and there are several such in
Glcnwood, are feeling much better sat
isfed since the announcement made by
Secretary Ballinger last Saturday that
he was determined to build the High
Line and that work would begin as soon
as arrangements as to right of way
could be completed.
When the work was started several
months ago by Secretary Garfield con,
siderable friction arose between the
government and the orchard owners in
the Palisade section in regard to the
amount the latter should receive in
right of way damages. The amounts
were considered excessive by the gov
ernment, but the owners represented
that in view of the very high producing
value of their lands they could not, in
justice to their own interests, take less.
1t is now proposed by Secretary Bal
linger to raise the High Line several
feet, thus putting it above the most
valuable orchard tracts and decreasing
very materially the right of way costs.
In telegram to Secretary Aupperle,
Mr.. Ballinesr suggests that the Water
Users association secure the consent Of

Tough times for timber wolves are
looming up in the future. The lates:

this appears to be the best notion yet
When it comes to trapping or shooting
wolves and locating their dens, an In
dian can give white man all the
trumps in the deck and take the odd
trick every time, so now the plan is TO
invite the Utes up from the reservation
in the southern part of the state and
their cousins from over in Utah and
turn them loose to start wolf massa
ere in Rio Blanco and Garfield counties.
The idea originated with Charles T
Limburg of Leadyille, prominent cat
matter up with the Office of the state
game and fish commissioner, where tn"
possibilities of his suggestion were rec
ognized at once. Various schemes have
been devised for getting rid of the big
gray wolves which slaughter so many
yearling steers in the White river coun-
try every summer and so many deer in
the winter
At the present time State Game and
Fish Commissioner T. J. Holland has
% h
of DeBeque trapping wolves. and it
had been his intention to send more men
if they had been available. No reports
have been received from this deputy
yet, but it is feared that one man eau

whslp next spring it means material
losses to the cattlemen as soon as the
cattle are taken up from White river
into the hills. according to yearly Gus
tom.
Mr.. Iimburg the father of the plan
for letting the Indians go after the
wolves, says that if the state game and
fish commissioner will agree to super
wise the hunt, the cattlemen in tha:
district will see that the Indians are
provided with beef all the time they
are away from the reservation, and
they will also pay bounty on each
wolf head brought in. At present
though there is a bounty on wolf
heads, there is no money appropriated
to pay the bounty, but in case the gam
