Water Riaht at pueblo.

Pueblo.-Despite the fact that the
Texas and New Mexico delegation have
requested that the states rights be
kept out of the national irrigation con.
gress it has evidently been overlooked
by the officers at the congress and
will come up Thursday afternoon upon
the conclusion Of the address by H. H.
Eddy of the Colorado delegation on
"Intra-state Utilization Of Water"
This will be followed by long dis
cussion in which the New Mexico and
Texas delegation and their allies will
wage war.
The discussion will be followed by
another address on International
usage of water, the speaker to be Sc.
lected.
The question which will allow the
greatest discussion will undoubtedly
be the right to use the waters Of the
Rio Grande river. 1t will be the most
important session to Coloradoans Of
any during the congress.

The battle between the Old Guard
Republicans and the Progressives for
control of the party through the state
convention which meets at Saratoga
Tuesday continues unabated. Though
indications point to q safe control of
the convention by the Roosevelt
forces, report from Old Guard head
quarters is that only forty votes we're
needed to swing the convention into
the Sherman column. 1t is also ru-
mored that trouble is likely to arise
over the Taft endorsement. No oppo-
sition has developed to an endorse
ment of the Presidents administra-
tion, but there are hints that the Old
Guard may attempt to put the Repub-
licans of New York state through the
convention on record as endorsing the
denomination OF Taft two years hence.

Carr Of aroon..

With the increased cost Of brooms
the thrifty housewife wishes to pre-
serve their usefulness as long as pos
sible. Soak new broom for several
minutes in hot suds: this not only
toughens but tightens the broom
whisps. Then hang 1t up to dry. A
broom, when not in use. should always
be hung up. Cut groove around the
handle and tie q cord around 1t, leav.
ing loop for hanging. or use one Of
the patent fasteners which screw to
door. These may be bought for q
few cents. The soaking process should
be repeated every fortnight.
Another housewife washes hes
boroms In cold soap water, rinsss
thoroughly in cold water, snaps OF al
moisture possible and pressing the
corns into shape places where they
will dry slowly. All mating will also
last longer when occasionally wiped
up with salt and water.
