A Commendable Enterprise

J. G. Duffy was In town mid-week
and reported the successful compile
ton of the Church-Duffy irrigation
tunnel on Yampa river, near the
mouth Of Milk creek.
The tunnel, which has been under
construction for several years at great
expepse to the Church Estate and
Mr.. Duffy, is 1850 feet in length and
cost over $40 per foot to construct,
the bore being through sandstone
most Of the distance. At present 1t
will irrigate something over 1000
acres of fine bottom land on the Duffy
and Church ranches. Later on the
carrying capacity Of the tunnel can
be enlarged at moderate expense to
cover much larger area of lands on
both sides Of the Yampa.
The completion Of this commend
able enterprise reflects much credit
on Mr.. Duffy. who has stuck to 1t for
years despite heavy cost, many back
cts and discouragements. J. D..
Moog, of Meeker, surveyed and made
the original plot Of the tunnel and
was the engineer in charge.

How Protection Protects

Protectionists assert that high tariff
rates protect American. wOrkingmen.
What IL meant by the word ''protect!'
The steel industry is one Of the most
highly protected industries in the Unit
ed States. The high rates on steel pro-
ducts have protected" the American
workingmen in that industry by driving
them from the mills. Positions former
ly filled by Americans are now occupied
by tho cheapest foreign labor. A re-
port just made on conditions in the mills
Of the steel trust at Bethlehem, "a,
states that s.4725, or 81 per cent Of all the
employees, worked twelve hours q day;
30 workmen had twelve hour day ex-
cspt on Saturdays, and 43Os employees
had wofhday Of ten and one-hslf to
eleven hours In length" Thus does
protection protect" the workingmsn!

Getting Ready for Winter

the old Pollard coal mine up Ander-
son Gulch and now have men at work
cleaning out and putting 1t in shape

son when coal such as the Pollard
mine produces will be in demand:
Adjoining the Pollard property,
which is patented ground, Mr.. A.
Cure has located three 4O's, which

Fine Coaches

The first Of the long overdue Con-
cord coaches for Tho Meeker-R Rifle
stage line arrived In town Sunday
evening on the regular run from Rifle.
1t was the finest thing in the stage
coach hne ever seen here, 'and at
tracted much attention.
Joe Clark, one of the most popular
drivers la these parts, handled the
lines ON the run from Rifle to Meeker
and reported a pleasant run.
The coach Ia upholstered In maroon
colored leather and Is nearly as easy
to ride in ~ Pullman car. Three
inside seats accommodate nine passen-
gers, and as many rs wish can pile on

The first coach bore this inscrip-
tion - Rifle Meeker Stage Line.

horses all wore new harness, and the

In . recent speech Former Cover

the tariff nail square on the head
when he said: III protection is .
good thing, there cannot be too much
OF 1t. II 1t Is . bad thing, there can
not be too little Of it. II protection
benefited all alike, no one would
want 1t. It is because it gives q few

that the few clamor for this graft,
and It is for this reason the many
should not submit to to 1t. The only
