Will AID HIGH line PROJECT

Upon invitation of Representative
Mondell, members of the house repre-
senting the state and territories In
which there are uncompleted govern
ment irrigation enterprises, had meet
ing Wednesday to discuss questions ill
volved in legislation deemed necessary
to enable the reclamation service to
complete these enterprises.
A statement submitted to the meet
ing by the reclamation service showing
that upward of $7O,0OO,0oO will be re-
quired to complete the government ir-
rieation projects which have been
commenced. To do this work about
81 ,OOO,0 will be available annually
from the sales of public lands and from
return payments for lands already re-
claimed under the irrigation act thus
requiring about ten years to complete
the work unless more funds can b.
provided.
At the meeting several plans were
discussed to raise revenue so that the
projects could be completed expedi-
tiously and without waiting for the
necessary funds and would be prefer
able to the plan suggested BY Score

could be ruined by some one buying
up five or six quarter sections in the
center of it and fencing them up. He
said the Stockmen now had some pro
lection under the forest reserve SyS-
TEN, but if the business was to remain
profitable they must have protection
against the fellow who would buy this
land from the state, sometimes for the
purpose of driving ont or running the
stockmen now occupying the range.
W. II. Harris was also opposed to
the bill declaring that the forest re.
serve system was bad enough but h.
believed the Taylor plan would prove
great deal worse. He was afraid OF
craft as he didn t know who was to
benefit by the workings of the bill.
G. II. Harris was also against the
bill a he thought the stockmen al.
ready had enough red tape to contend
with Eie favored good roads as the
others did, but did not think the goo |
roads should all be built at the eX
pcnsc of the stock industry. He be
lcved in letting well enough alone
Others looked upon the matter rather
indifferently. claiming that hut littla
land would be selected from the ranges
Of western Colorado and if it were so
selected il would not sell and thcv
seemed to think there was little ground
for fear.
VIM. Dinkel was heartily in favor of
the bill ms it was for such a laudable
purpose. the building of roads which
were badly needed, and he thought it
was an excellent opportunity to ge5
something for nothing. He said h.
doubted if the plan originated with
Taylor as practically the same thing
had been advocated by John c. Osgood
for many years. The insinuation that
Osgood probably had an ax to grind
was very positively resented by Dinkel
who reminded those present that no
one had done as much in the road build
ing line in that vicinity as had Mr.
Osgood.
Fred Light spoke upon the subject

BOOM DeLONG
FOR CONGRESS

A number of Western Slope papers
have been talking Senator DeLong of
Grand Junction for congress. The fol
ly of having the Second District repre-
sented at the seat of the federal gov
ernmcnt by democrat with no influ-
encc in the administration is becoming
patent to all. The name of Senator
belong has been received with consid-
erablc enthusiasm The Lake City
Times states in this connection:
Some of our exchanges are already
putting forward the name of Senator
DeLong of Grand Junction as republi-
can candidate for congressman from the
Second District. We are glad to note
that the name of Senator DeLong is
being received with enthusiasm by all
republicans, for the editor of this pa
per has been busy for a year talking
Senator DeLong as the strongest candi-
date for congressman, within the ranks
of the party in this district. His nom.
nation will mean his election by not
less than Eve thousand plurality.

FRED A. BARLOW
BADLY INJURED

While taking part in shooting
match by the Glenwood Gun club last
Sunday afternoon Fred Barlow was Sc.
riously injured from the effects of
which he may lose the sight of his left
eye.
He was using Marlin pump shotgun
and as lie pulled the trigger for the
last shot of the day the guu
exploded and the breech pin
was hurled back with such force as to
knock Mr.. Barlow down and render
hi munconscious for time.
luckily the piece of steel took an
upward course and glanced from his
head, the force of the conclusion being
thus considerably reduced. 1t struck
him Just above the left eye and as d
result the eye may be ruined or perma-
nently injured. The shock caused q
hemorrhage of the delicate blood YES
sells and this blinded the eye Temporal
rily.
Mr. barlow, accompanied by ms WIG,
left Glcnwood Tuesday evening for
Denver where he placed himself in the
care of a specialist. hoping that by
special treatment the cycsight might
be saved.
Il is dinicult to account for the acci
dent on any other basis than that the
shell through some mistake. had been
overloaded with nitro powder, and this
Mr.. Barlow contends. Others, while
not denying the theory of overlooking,
declare there was a flaw in the gun.
At all events Mr.. Barlow and his
friends declare that he had very mar
row escape from death.

Popular Pastime |ndu|ged In Last
Tuesday, People Vote For Bonds
Court Says Can't Issue
BUT IT'S A HEAP OF FUN

Elections are very popular in Glen
wood In fact they are quite the
style. We had another one last Tues
day, perhaps Just to show that we
hadn It forgotten how There WASH
anything at stake except the fun of
voting. but we couldn t be deprived of
that you know, and as the people pay
the bills whether they want to or not,
why not pull off the show on schedule
time. 1t was too good a chance for
the politicians to make little capi-
tai. as they thought. SO long as 1T
didn't cost them anything.
Although federal judge had sail
VIC might go through the form of hold
ing an election if we wanted to he
would enjoin the things sought to be
accomplished by that election, the fel
lows who are running the political
machine evidently reasoned that if
they couldn't get an egg they would
take the shell, but it is doubtful if
they got the shell, or even a smell.
But called down in their high hand
ed attempt to destroy vested rights
and confscate valuable property they
must do something to make showing
and as the holding of an election is,
the only thing they had not been re-
strained from doing, why let 8 hold an
election to be sure. It's quite jolly.
don't you know. just the fashion and
one of the very few ways we have OF
spending the peoples money.

der the amendment to the irrigation

The nimrods of Glenwood have not
forgotten that famous rabbit hunt
down al Mack last winter and they
can hardly wait to get another try
at the bunnies as every one is quite
confident that if he had a show he
could do much better than he did be-
fore.
Well he is sure to have show and
now we shall see. what we shall see.
The Denver & Rio Grande has decided
to pull off the second annual rabbit
hunt at Mack on Sunday, January 16,
one week from tomorrow.
They do say that cotton tails are
almost as numerous as cactus needles
in the vicinity of Mack and especially
are they plentiful about IS miles from
Mack, along the Uintah railroad and
this is where it is planned to turn the
artillery loose on the meek little bun

out nine miles few days ago and

A special meeting OF the Roaring
Fork and Eagle River Stockgrowers
association was held in Carbondale last
Monday, the object Of the meeting,
40 it was stated in the call, being TO
elect delegates to the regular annual
meeting of the Colorado Cattle ami
Horsegrowers' association.
However j. w. Zimmerman, the
chairman of the meeting, was not par
ticular about splitting hairs and per
mittcd considerable latitude, especial
" in the discussion and very lively
though pleasant meeting was the re
suit.
The first thing to come up for atten-
tion was the preamble or resolution
adopted ut a meeting of stockmcn heid
some time ago in Glcnwood Springs by
which it is proposed to change the
nam. of the Colorado Cattle and
Horse Growers association to The Col
orado Livestock association.
Neither the proposed change in TIN"
name nor the rules concerning member
ship seemed to appeal to the members
present, and specially Objectionable
was section 3 providing for member
Phip in the American National Live
stock association but denying the right
to discussion or voting on the forestry
or public lands questions.
Fred Light was bcliggercnt as usual
and thought it good plan for th@
members of this association to find oHt
what Charley Painter and Jack killiaH
wanted and then oppose them. He salt
they represented the fellows who had
betrayed the Colorado stockmen and
sold them out to the National and he
was opposed to giving them control.
1t was stated that committee meet,
ing was to be held at the Albany hotel
today and tomorrow to discuss these
resolutions and make recommendation
for the state association to be held
next week. Fred Light was appointed
to represent the local association ut
that meeting after almost everyone in
the meeting had expressed himself as
opposed to the resolution.
The next thing to come up was Con
gresham Taylor's bill proposing that
the federal government cede to the
state of Colorado million acres of
agricultural land to be sold at not less
than five dollars per acre for the con
struction of roads.
None of the stockmcn present had
seen the bill, but it was produced and
lead entire and then the fun began
Price Sloss declared that there was
The Glenwood post., 1910-01-08

amendment providing that irrigation
districts should hove power to lease or
rent the use of water and to contract
for its delivery to settlers, and further
contract with the settler that upon re.
ceiving full title to his lands and upon
payment of his proportionate share of
bond assessments the lands shall he
included within the district and be en-.
titled to all rights and privileges.
The commissioner was furnished a
copy of the irrigation district laws of
Colorado and the amendment referred
to, and the high character of Colorado
irrigation districts was urged upon the
commissioner as reason for recogniz
ing these contracts.
The general land office is aiding N
efforts to work out some plan whereby
government lands may he included an I
bonded within irrigation districts. I'm
porant private reclamation projects
are in abeyance pending the enactment
of some such law and a partial solu'
ton of the problem will be an aid to
the reclamation of arid lands in states
having irrigation district laws, such rs

Tuesday morning than deputy United
states marshal appeared and served
on each member of each board a copy
of Judge Lewis injunctive order
which ties up everything save the mere
matter of holding the election.
1t has been Il long time since al
election in Glenwood has passed off so
quietly. The people who voted with
the company, or rather the people who
voted for themselves, were scarcely
seen about the polls all day, save as
they went in and cast their ballots.
SO little interest did the company take
in the outcome that some of their EN-.
ployes who might as well have voted
did not 90 near the polls.
The fellows who were covctous of
political prestige and who looked upon
this as one grand opportunity were
very jealous in the cause and worked
hard all day, lining up their workers
as though the holding of the earth in
its orbit depended on the result of the
days voting.
The vote which gave majority of
46 for the bonds which cannot be is
sued, was surprise in nothing except
that the majority -was-not larger.
The vote by precincts was as fol
