VIII Keep Tab on Reservoirs.

Reservoir companies Of the state
the state engineer as to the amount
of water they are taking from the
streams on which the reservoirs are
situated and the water they turn
loose TO the bitches under them.
State Engineer Comstock has issued
form for reservoir companies which
requires them to answer the follow
ing questions:
Reservoir gauge reading; outlet
measuring flume; gauge reading; dis
charge through outlet; cubic feet per
second; discharge over spillway; in
flow from -; have gates been
moved between readings: is run Of
water In progress; how much"
Every year the office Of state en-
gineer is flooded with complaints Of
farmers and ranchmen who have
water rights ON the streams OF the
state that the reservoir companies
viii llDOA
the water from the natural now Of
the stream.
Because CT these disputes and "a
cusations many crimes and acts OF
violence have been oecasioned In the
past. The ranchcrs have been known
to assemble in numbers and. par
ticularly In dry seasons. have de
stroyed much OF the property OF the
reservoir companies.
Mr.. Comstock is determined that
this year and next there will be
exact data In his office showing the
amount OF intake and outgo from the
storage reservoirs. The reservoir com
paniss are required by statute to
conform TO the rules and regulations
OF the state engineers office and he
will check up their reports ty send
ins deputies into the field.

Prospect Of Militia Company.

Colonel F. ID. Bartlett, of Den
yer, representing the adjutant gen.
erals office OF the Colorado Nation.
al Guard, has been In La Junta for
several days endeavoring to interest
some Of our leading citizens, and the
young men Of La Junta in particular,
in the organization OF militia com
pany In this city.
Colonel Bartlett has been resi-
dent Of Colorado for twenty years,
but this Is his first visit TO La Jun
Ia and he has already reported to
headquarters that he was surprised
and greatly impressed in finding such
clean and beautiful little city way
out In the wilderness OF the Arkan-
sas Valley. He has also received
considerable encouragement in the
organization OF militia company In
this city from n number Of cur young
men who had experience in the Span
ish war of 1898. and thinks there
would be no trouble in securing the
required quota of sixty men neces-
sary to organize company.
In the event of a company being
organized the state would lease a
building for armory purposes and all
OF the necessary equipment would lie
furnished by the federal government.
II the interest was sustained In the
military organization the state would
eventually appropriate money for
the erection Of an armory In this
city. such as are already established
In some of the small cities Of Colo
RADIO.
Colonel Bartlett has a daughter re-
siding In La Junta. Mrs. Rex P.Wil'
cox, whose husband for some time
past has held the position OF chief
clerk In the Santa Fe store house al
this point.

Last Tuesday evening the city
council met and performed the last
rites over La Junta's six saloons.
James X. Dye and c. L. Seeley. rep
resenting the two extremes In the
saloon controversy. were the only
spectators present. Upon MIR. Dye
devolved the task Of delivering the
funeral oration. and Mr.. Seeley was
an interested though not mournful
spectator At the final obseQuies.
Mr.. Dye said that 1t was the third
time In his life that he had been
brought face to face with the dire
calamity Of being forced to retire
from business. Although 4 majority
OF the citizens Of La Junta seemed
to entertain the belief that the su.
preme court decision Of July 9Th had
placed a final quietus upon the sa-
looms Of La Junta, the saloon men
had not given up all hope Of bring
ing the corpse back to life until
Tuesday Of this week. They had re-
ceived a letter that day that con-
vinced them that the saloons Of La
Junta were dead beyond all hope OF
resurrection, and they were now
ready to hoist the white flag and
quit for good.

vance. $3.50. on April lst Of the pres
ent year. MIR. Dye said that SO far
As he was concerned $340 would do,
and suggested that the members Of
the city council could use the $l.66
to lay In supply Of hop ale. the only
thirst alleviator now on tap In La
Junta that looks like the real thing.
The council demurred. however, and
the city clerk was instructed to is.
