SHOULD P0STOFFICES
Be CLOSED ON SUNDAYS
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Agitation, the scope Of which will be
national, has been started to close the
postoffices on Sundays. The move
ment is being directed by the joint
forces of the carriers and postal
clerks, and as enthusiasm and en-
far. the men actively engaged in this
reform feel that there is a good chance
that their desire VIII be attained.
At present the movem.h: is prsc-
tlcally confined 10 Detroit, but It bad

vention. and II successfu. 10 that city.
Will undoubtedly sweep the country.
The immediate irtentiou Is ID arouse
half OF strict Sunday observation
OF the postoffice, for It is believed
that as soon as such public opinion
is crystalized there will be no difficult
ty in securing the necessary permis-
sion to eliminate the distribution OF
mail on Sunday. II the reform is Sc
cured 1t will affect $50 employees in
Detroit, not any one OF whom has a
Sunday to himself, and many OF whom
are obliged to work ten hours on that
day with no allowance made either in
time or money.
At present the postoffices in mos,
cities are open between 900 and II
o'clock Sunday morning. during which
time citizens may claim their mail at
the windows OF the carriers. In or
der to carry out this arrangement IL
! is necessary for the carriers to go to
work at o'clock, while the clerks
have a ten-hour day. Formerly the
hour for Sunday mail was from ~ u
/ O'Clock, very convenient time for
people returning from church. When
the time was changed TO the earlier
hour the number was diminished "a
per cent, thus proving that 1t was not
matter Of necessity with most peo-
pie. but rather a habit which was soon
forgotten when a comparatively early
hour was named.
While II is believed that almost al
OF this Sunday labor can be eliminated
yet It is realized that there will always

over REMAINS OF MISS DALE
From Fridays Daily.

from FRIDAY Daily.
The funeral service over the re-
mains of Miss Grace Dale at the First
Presbyterian church this morning was
one of the most impressive that has
taken place in this city in a lang time
and was splendid tribute to the life
and character of the deceased. The
capacious church was crowded to its
capacity by those desiring of doing
honor 10 the memory of the dead; the
numerous floral offerings testifying
to the high esteem in which she was
held while living.
The music, hardly less than the OBJ
sequies. spoke eloquently of her who
was SO lately worker in the church
and the Sunday school and their be-
nevolences. Miss Gail Conoway pre-
sided at the pipe-organ and the choir
was composed OF Mrs. w. C. Thomas,
Mrs. George A. Prentiss, Misses Hell

Messrs. C. W. vanPatten, NJ. ]. Evans,

From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
While some sections Of Colorado are
complaining of dry weather and a wa
ter shortage Beaver Park, OF which
Penrose is the metropolis, is enjoying
a high degree of prosperity. At no
time during the present season has
the Park suffered from any water
shortage and with the water in Beav-
er and that held in reserve an ample
supply is assured for the entire sea-
son. Alfalfa and vegetables will re-
turn very large crops and the fruit
crop of the park will be a record
breaker
About so thousand yards of earth
are being put into the dam each
month and the reservoir will be COM
pleted and ready for its fall supply by
September 30th. With this work
done, Beaver Park will have as good a
water supply as any in Colorado and
ample for all its needs.
The young orchards are looking par
ticularly we'll. Many Of them will be
gin to bear next year, and within two
years will have been brought to full
maturity.
The projectors of the Beaver en-
terprise have proceeded along new
lines. Their principle has ben to sup
ply the water first and settle the land
afterward. They have also appreciat-

discourses of Rev. Mr.. Thomas and
of Chaplain Blake were tender and

them. 1t was such a service as a
king might envy. but was a deserved
acknowledgment OF the virtues of the
dead. Never have more beautiful

the casket of Miss Dale at the church
this morning. Lilies and roses and
wreaths of immortelles. the tributes

which she was held by those who
knew her best. The interment took

mains to their last resting place was
one Of the most imposing seen here in
many months.

"As a rule mans a fool;
Ne'er contented with his lot:
Always wanting what is not;
When it's hot, he wants 1t cool;
When it's cool. he wants It hot"
AS another rule man usually never
knows Just how dependent he is upon
those very conditions he is always
grumbling about. Many people of
course, feel privileged to abuse the
weather. never realizing that the
whole source OF existence can be trac-
ed back to those great forces in ma
ture. Indeed all of the dependence of
life forms on earth can be traced to
the variations in temperature and the
weather phenomena which grow out
OF them. Without changes in temper
ature the atmosphere would be inert,
with no wind. no rain, no snow. So
let us not grumble about the hot
weather, or indeed any kind OF wealth
er. An average Of SO degrees for the

vided the most economical methods Of
distribution. All water is distributed
through cement pipes, thereby prac-
tically eliminating the elements of
evaporation and seepage. With the
waters of Colorado being very rapid
ly appropriated, this system will be
applied sooner or later throughout the
state, for it is safe to say that where
given amount of water is capable
of irrigating one acre of land under
the old methods, it will irrigate two

manner.
The town of Penrose is enjoying a
gratifying growth. The buildings
which are going up are being con-
structed in a substantial manner and
new people are coming in almost ev-
cry day. Over 300 people are now
getting their mail at the Penrose post
office. The irrigators of Colorado
may well look to Penrose as an ex-
ample of what the economical distri-
button Of water will do. Motorists
who enjoy a delightful trip amidst
