A GOOD WOMAN HAS PASSED ON

A pail Of sadness was cast over Glen
wood by the announcement of the death
of Mrs. Minnie v. Deacon which oc-
cnnd last Friday evening frem acute
tonsilitis, complicated by kidney trou-
BILE.
Although Mrs. Deacon had been con,
fined to her bed for more than a week
her condition had not been considered
serious until Friday afternoon when
there was change for the worse and
although physicians were hurried to
the house there was marked weaken
ing of the heart which refused to re
spond to stimulants and the inevitable
end came about 1890 p. m.
/. Fnneral services were held Sunday
afternoon from the Methodist church
conducted by the Rev. J. NJ. Dickey
who spoke feelingly of Mrs. Deacon as
noble Christian character, of her
many acts of kindness and of her faith
fulness and zeal for the church.
Mrs. Deacon came to Glenwood about
fifteen years ago and has had pro-
minent part in church and lodge work.
She was an active worker in the Meth
odist Ladies Aid society, Glendale Cir
Gle Women of Woodcraft and the Or
der of Eastern Star, the latter having
charge Of the burial service at the
grave.
Deceased was survived by the hus-
band, J. B. Deacon. and baby son and
a sister, Mrs. H. R. Logan of Glen
wood and sister in Missouri.
The funeral was very large one
and the profusion of floral offerings
and the very noticeable feeling of sad
ness indicated the great loss that Glen
wood has sustained in the passing OF
this good woman. 1nterment was in
Rosebud cemetery.

EFFECT OF FORESTS
ON water SUPPLY
Do Trees Conserve Water
Supply and What is Their
General Effect on Climate
U. S. TO MAKE TESTS

What is he effect of trees upon eli
matte conditions? ? is a question of great
Importance that is being freely asked
Of late and while it is generally con
ceded that the effects of trees on eli
mate are many when it comes right
down to definite and specific results
there is something of difference of
opinion, even among those scientists
and near scientists who are supposed
to possess positive knowledge on the
subject.
While to some it will seem incredi-
BILE yet it is fact that over here on
the western slope we have even had
people who will ask the question EDO
the forests affect or control the stream
and supply?" and then, out of the
abundance of what they think they
know they will answer their own query
in the negative.
AS for the Post we should as soon
think of asking the question once
doubted by the ancients, els the earth
ronud?" and requiring proof on the
subject. However, the Post welcomes
all intelligent investigation on the sub
ject and will watch with more than or
dinary interest the experiments to be
made by the government along this
line.

great interest to those who have given
careful thought to the subject of con
serving the water supply:
H. G. Frankenfeld, professor of me-
teorology in the United States weather
bureau service at Washington, has
undertaken to solve the question
"What has forest to do with elm
ate?'
At Wagon Wheel gap on watershe I
near the headwaters of the Rio Grande.
he has begun to establish his station
where his men will measure rain, snow,
water and even sunshine. He returned
to Denver this morning to confer with
Forecaster Brandenburg and with Dis
trlct Forester Smith Riley.
The investigation, which will proba-.
bly, occupy three years, is the result of
a difference of opinion between the
forestry men and the weather bureau as
to the influence of forests on climate.
nc WedtHeT men are lncllneu TO lnlHS
that the forestry men attach too much
significance to the presence of trees,
but the difference is wholly friendly
one.
Mr.. Frankenfield will keep two or
three men at the observation station
to make records every day in the year
until Frankenfeld thinks he has sufff-
cient data. Then he will have the for
est on one part of the slope cut down
and more observations will be taken
to show the effect of the absence of
trees. The forest on the watershed
covers about 1000 acres. The slope is
800 feet to the mile.
"1t was discovered long ago." said
Mr.. Frankenfield, "that forests do not
bring rain, as the Biographies used to
state. But exactly what they do no.

what we are going to find out. It NAV

va and Secretary Balliagtr has sal!
.,-y 'mphatically that tn, llighine is
project under way. ALI the engineers
who have examined it have approved
the ! Ians and now it ouly remains for
the project to be passed upon by the
arm7 engineers who, according t" the
new bill, are to make the final report
on all of the reclamation projects. Gen
eral Marshall and a party of assistants
Grand valley project will be the first
one examined by them and this will
probably be done some time this month.
The following letter recently written
by Secretary Ballinger explains his at
titude on the Highline:
''In regard to the Grand Valley ir-
rigation project it would seem that
in order to complete the same it may
be necessary to have an allotment
from the fund provided by the 90
called $2O,OOO,OoO bill. As you know
no part of the money so provided by
said bill can be used upon any exist
ing project until the same has been
examined and reported upon by a
board of engineer officers of the army
and approved by the president as
feasible and practicable and worthy
Of such expenditure.
"This project has been approved by
the Department and is regarded by
it as one that has been begun. 1t is
not anticipated by the Department
that the board of army engineers will
make an unfavorable report in re-
epect to the same, but in view of the
fact that said board should under the
law make an examination and report,
it is not deemed advisable for the De-
partment to take any action in re-
speet to directing the beginning of
construction until said board has made
it's report.
"The board has already been ap-
pointed, but in all probability will not
be ready to assume its duties until
about July 20.
81 might say in this connection that
General Marshall consulting engineer
of the Reclamation Service, is familiar
with this project and is favorably i'm
pressed with its feasibility and prac-
ticability and, as you are aware, the
Reclamation Service regards it as one
of the most feasible and practicable
that has been approved
81 desire to assure you that it is
my intention to proceed with the con-
struct'on of the said project as soon
as this can consistently be done un-
Ter the law.

|NTERURBAN LINE
NOW COMPLETED
Valley Towns Joined by Bands
Of Steel Big Celebration
in Honor Of the Event
GLENW0ODI1Es ATTEND

The Fruit Belt road, the interurban
line connecting Grand Junction with
Fruita and all intermediate points, has
been completed and this great achieve
ment was fttingly celebrated Thursday
by an excursion to Fruita over the Few
line.
From Glenwood a joint Midland
Grande excursion left the Midland sta
tion at seven a. M, the passengers be-
ing transferred at Grand Junction over
the new line. About fifty boarded the
train here and the number was augu-
mented at the various stations down
the river.
Regular Midland No. carried num-
Der of railway officials and the officials
of the Fruit Belt company, also bunch
of newspaper reporters who travelled by
private car. On this train was the ia
nous Colorado Midland band which
added much to the interest of the day.
This train was taken right through
Grand Junction to Fruita by steam pow
er because the Fruit Belt was taxed be-
yond its capacity and was unable to ac
cOmmodate all who wanted to attend
the festivities.
The splendid chicken dinner, served
on the lawn of Mayor W. A Merriell,
was the first feature of interest and one
which the reporters will not soon for
get.
The street parade was one of the
very best and such as one does not
often see equalled in towns Of many
times the size of Fruita. This was 4
feature in which the business men took
a lively interest and many were the
compliments which they received from
the visitors.
The program at the park consisted of
an address of welcome by Mayor Mer
riell to the mayor of Grand Junction
and the officials of the Grand Junction
and Grand River Valley Railway COM
pany. Mr.. Thomas E. Curtain, on be-
half of the company, made pleasing
response i'm which he outlined the policy
of the new company and expressed the
hope that he and his associates might
be helpful to the people of that entire
wealth producing country.
The address of welcome to the press
by DIR. s. p Green and the response for
the press by I. N. Bunting editor of
the Grand Junction Sentinel, were both
delightful efforts and very well re-
ccived. Other addresses were made by
r. f. Turpin, Thomas N. Hunter, G c.
Hamlin and Congressman Taylor.
After the program had been con-
cuded the crowds went to Grand juno
tion where the same genial, hospitable
did band concert was provided and the
members were rendered delightful
luncheon at the LaCourt hotel where
many brilliant addresses were made.
1t is worthy of note that the entire
program and the plan of entertainment
so far as the company was concerned,
was evolved and arranged by that
prince of original entertainers, Lee
Haney, formerly with the Colorado
Midland but now with the J. c. Vining
Investment company.
The affair was one of pleasure
throughout and was of great Importance
because it means the opening of great
or industrial activities for a large scope

RAT-KILLINe DAY NEEDED.

The rat question, which many per-
sons refuse or fail to regard serious
ly, is discussed in an interesting edi-
torial by H. H. Windsor in the Janu-
airy number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. He says:
For some months we have refrain
ed from mentioning the rats, but du-
ring that time the pest has increased,
or at least progressed, until they have
now officially reached the port of
London. Plague infected rates which
had either escaped from Oriental YES
sells, or home-rats infected from es-
capped rodents, are being caught in
English ports Already several per-
sons have died from unmistakable rat
infection.
The English authorities are fight
ing the dagger with customary thor
oughness. In some districts as high
as 10000 rats are being killed daily.
Owners of stores, factories, mills,
warehouses, railroads, householders,
even farmers are united in the war
of determination. To those who are
too poor to purchase poison, it is fur
nished free. So infectious are the
rats that the collectors are not al
lowed TO touch them. With pair of
tongs the dead rat is first dipped into
a pail of disinfectant, transferred to
steel box cart and hauled to crs-
matory. 1t is no longer safe to eat

ANOTHER GREAT
SUGAR SCANDAL

WASHINGTON, December 21.-Cus-
toms experts from the Treasury and
special agents of the Department of
Justice are making an investigation
which promises to add another chap
ter to the sugar frauds. An alleged
abuse of drawback" privileges, prin-
cipally at New York, is under investi-
cation, and one official says the revela-
lions promise to put the government
in position to recover nearly as much
as in the underweighing cases, when
more than 100000 was paid to the
Treasury.
When sugar is imported it pays a
, duty, unless coming from the Philip
pines, and when it is manufactured
into a product and in that form export
err, the duty is refunded in the form of
a drawback" except per cent, which
| is retained to defray the cost of tariff
administration.
Z Under this arrangement sugar is
I imported raw, exported as syrup and
/ many other by-products of sugar. On
each of these the Treasury makes
/ drawback" refunds. About $7,O0O,OOO
/ is paid in that way each year, and half
that amount is drawn back on exports
of sugar and tin. officials say that
frauds in sugar extending over several
years could easily run into a large
amount. Some of the investigations
are said to show that the Government
has been defrauded in the draw
, backs" it has allowed on syrups. 1t
is charged that the refunds have been
paid on high grades of sugar COM
handing high duties, while in fact a
very low grade of sugar was used. I'm
, der the system of examination the GUS
toms authorities are confronted with
, the probability that they have been
paying drawbacks on shipments which
were not sugar at all, but might, IN
fact, have been saw dust so far as
the usual inspection developed.
