Ditch Meeting Is Important.

A meeting of representatives of oil
bitches in the valley who have not yet
come into the Water Users Associa-
tion has been called for Saturday,
February 26, at 10 a. M, the meeting
to be held at the Olathe opera house.
The object of the meeting is to endeav-
or to arrive at an agreement on terms
under which the remaining bitches of
the valley may be taken over by the
association, as this is the most impor-
tant point now bearing on the future
of the Gunnison tunnel project.
Secretary Tobin of the association is
of the opinion that upon the outcome of
this meeting rests largely the question
of whether or not we are to get Gunni-
son water this year. 1t seems that the
government is firm in its stand that no
water will be delivered from the tunnel
until the systems can be unified.
The result of this meeting means a
great deal to the valley and it Is sin
cerely hoped that the owners of all
bitches will take great interest in the
matter, send delegates who are prepared
to submit reasonable propositions for
the purchase of their property and thus
get this important work well under
way. .-Olathe Criterion.

Peach Crop Prospects Good.

J. o. Simpson states that the peach
trees on Cedar Mesa are all right as
yet, showing all the buds the trees can
s and under when grown into fruit.
While we have not heard directly from
other sections of Surface Creek and the
North Fork country, where the peach
orchard is most in evidence, it is fair
to say that the outlook all over the
upper portion of the country is fine for
a peach crop. While it is possible that
this prospect could yet be interfered
with oy spring freezes, that is hardly
likely, in view of the fact that indica-
tions are for an early spring, and be-
cause orchardists are now well sup
piled with orchard heaters and are able
to do effective smudging. In the lower
valleys of the country much less atten-
tion is given to peach growing, fer the
reason that the trees are more subject
to effects of cold. Here apples, berries
and the harder fruits receive more at
tention and more ground is cultivated
to grains, alfalfa, sugar beets, potatoes
and melons.

Secretary Ballinger Reperses
Redlands Decision.

One of the few cases where Secre-
tary of the Interior has reversed de-
cision of both the district and general
land Offices. comes in the decision of
Mr.. Ballinger, restoring Redlands en-
tries to original claimants. The case
has been long and hotly contested one.
Some years ago fourteen people, inti-
mate friends and some of them rela-
tives, filed upon like number of desert
tracts near Grand Junction. They then
formed a company and floated bonds to
the amount of $3.50, 600 to dig bitches,
build reservoirs and otherwise improve
the land.
Later, contests were filed by subse-
quent claimants on grounds that the
earlier claimants had not complied with
the U. S. land laws, alleging that they
were not bona fide entrymen, but were
agents for an eastern company. Regis
ter Blair of the Montrose land Office de-
cided for the contestants and the com
missioner of the general land Office
Washington upheld his decision. MIR.
Secretary Ballinger, to whom the case
was then appealed, has just reversed
both decisions and restored the rights
of the original entries.

The Organizer, out of which through

new issue dated February ID, has
been printed.
The paper is purely political and
promises that it's management shall be
in the hands of w. G. Henry, Social
ist lecturer, henceforward. The Or
ganizer was published as Socialist
paper two years ago, but suspended
for lack of support. 1t has small
equipment of types and press. In the

lieve that any reputable Repub-
lican voter who desires to try be-
fore a state convention for nomi-
nation should have this oppor~
tunity. will encourage the can
didacy of any man for Office, be-
lieving that several candidates
for the same office inspire en-
thusiasm.
This sounds good and offers
indeed a ray of hope-hope that
an overwhelmingly Republican
Sttte will not again be ground to
party nothingness by jealousies
and factional quarrels, applauded,
encouraged and embittered by
an opposition press, which made
and still makes it it's battle-cry.
While the Republican party in
Colorado may not yet be out of
the dissention bogg, it looks like
the right kind of a start had been
made, and if its over-ambitious
members can be curbed little
and party jealousies always to
be found in a strong party be
kept down to a minimum. there
will be no trouble about it's sue
cess next fall.
Chairman Work voices splen-
did principle in declaring that
candidates for the offices should
be unhampered, and if this
course is followed the conven-
tions will have the privilege, not
always enjoyed, of directly max
ing a choice.

ADVERTISING RATES.
THE NEW STATE CHAIRMAN.

DIR. Hubert Work wa, elected
chairman of the Republican state
central committee without a dis
senting voice. His election is in
tended to represent harmony in
the party and he announces that
his official acts will be based on
that principle. He will maintain
headquarters for the party at
Pueblo. Whenever he deems it
necessary, he will go out over the
state and do whatever in his
judgment seems best for the
party. Secretary W. C. Blair
has rendered his resignation be-
cause of the governmental posi-
ton which he holds, and DIR.
Work will name another secre-
tary within short time.
DR.. Work treats this position
the same as any other work he
accepts. In discussing the fu-
ture of the Republican organiza-
ton under his official guidance
this afternoon he was free, frank
and candid. He impresses one
with the businesslike attributes
of his makeup in that he is a
man of few words and short SEN
tences. Unlike the average poll
tician, he says little, but thinks
a whole lot. When asked for an
interview, he said:
my official acts will be based
on the principle of harmony. l
will recognize no factions, neith-
er will officially show favortism
to any faction within the party.
l believe that it is necessary that
all voters should have an oppor-
tunity to express themselves in
the party councils. do not con-
slider it any part of my official
duty to try to influence the selec-
ton of candidates for office from
the different counties. l believe
in home rule for the counties.
The voters should have an oppor-
tunity to express their prefer
ence at their primaries and their
county conventions. l am a
thorough believer in party orga-
nization, but this organization
should be effected after candi-
dates have been named in the
state convention for the purpose
of election rather than before the
convention assemblies for the pur-
pose of securing their nomina-
tion. A state organization as
such should begin it's active duties
after the state convention, rath-
er than perfect an organization
for the purpose of securing the
nomination of men selected be-
fore the convention assemblies.

even a tentative one, for any Of

further the cause of any indi-
vidual candidate to the prejudice

Congressman Samuel Mccall,
of Massachusetts has taken it
upon himself to explain some
thing of the life and work of
Speaker Cannon and brings out
many points of greatness and
usefulness which, while his op-
ponents and the thinking public
must admit are real, doubtless
many people overlook them in
the TRADE against him. On the
subject Mr.. Mccall argues:
1.-The use of the epithet Cannonism
has been so common during the last two
years that it has become a matter of
public Importance to inquire somewhat
closely what this term means and what
basis there is for it. The epithet, as it
is commonly imployed, has come to in
volve an Indictment, not merely of a
man, but of the American speakership,
including also the general procedure of
the house of representativeslia Hand its
value as the popular legislative cham
Der of nation which some of its
friends call the greatest in the world
and which the most intense of its enc
mics admit is a pretty big one. The
moral quality of a nation is by no means
always commensurate with its size,
and that moral quality depends chiefly
upon the average of it's citizenship. If
that average is high it should reflect
itself in the only national Office that is
filled directly by the choice of the peo-
pie, and filled, too. in constituencies
that are not so vast but that the indi-
vidual voters may know pretty weli::the
character of the man for whom they
are voting. The candidate for presi-
dent they see only through the tele-
scope, if indeed they see him at all; but
the candidate for the house of repre-
sentatives is a membvr of the com
munity in which they live, and they
may know him as they know one of
their own neighbors. If a body of
ignorant, sordid and pusillanimous rep
resentatives are chosen under such
favorable conditions, it is scarcely pos
sIble to make very decided inference
that the constituencies are, on the
whole, of very different character.
If, on the other hand, you find among
the representatives a high average
standard of manhood and capacity you
will be justified in reaching conclu-
sion favorable to the character of the
people who have chosen them. l have
a notion that there is some decree of
correspondence between the size and
quality of the nation, judging simply
from the character of it's house of rep
resentatives. 1t is. on the whole. a
great body, fairly representative of the
American people, and it reflects the
best qualities that have been imputed
to them. 1t certainly has those prime
characteristics of the nation-spirit and
courage; and no body of men could
have any degree of either and be SO
completely the slave of one man, as
the representatives must be of the
speaker, if there is any substance of
truth in the charge usually conveyed
by Cannonism.

COYTESVILLE BRIDGE
SITE NOT ABANDONED.

County residents. who have been
hoping that the proposed Hudson
River Bridge would be at 179th street,
New York. and strike New Jersey at

that the structure might be at Shady
side instead. with its New York end
at 109th street, were somewhat relieved
yesterday when they were informed
that there is still a possibility that

the New Jersey terminus.
It was stated by the engineers in
charge of the borings for the proposed
Hudson River bridge that the work
about to be begun opposite 109th street
does not imply that the site at 10th
street has been abandoned. The New

sion, in charge of the work, received
