Last Saturday morning very i'm
portant meeting Of the Arkansas Val
ley Ditch Association was held In

Every ditch in the valley had a rep.
resentative present. The meeting was
called for the purpose OF considering
and determining upon the basis OF
assessment of the various bitches in
the valley to raise funds to defend
the suit instigatcd ly the United
states Irrigation and Land Company.
In which all OF the bitches In Colo.
RADIO are co-defendants.
A decision for the plaintiff In
this suit would affect vitally the in.
terests OF every ditch In the Arkansas
Valley In Colorado. The suit was
tnstigalcd for the purpose OF re-es.
tabIkhing priortics for the Great
Eastern and the South Side ditch,
dating back to 1881. which gives each
Of Them DEGREES for $50 cubic feet
OF water per second time. Both OF
the bitches are located near Gar.
den City. Kan.
The basis OF assessment agreed
upon was s. per cubic foot for the
decreed priority OF each ditch. This
will raise fund of about $25 900 To
defend the suit. The attorneys EN-
ployed hy the defense are Henry
Du-s. Of Pueblo, Platt Rogers. OF
Denver, and Fred A. Sabin. OF La
Junta \ demurrer to the complaint

NUMBER 4s

In the site, making an area of I25x
l4O feet. which is ample for all pur-
poses. The company proposes to bor-
row on the building the amount above
the $4,000 Of stock which will have
been sold should the Elks accept the
proposition. at six per cent on the
amount OF the loan, being approx
imately $4,000. A thing which makes
the proposition very attractive to the
Elks Is that II they come In to the
extent % $4,000 they are to have
the right to purchase all Of the out
standing stock in the association at
par, a certain amount to be taken up
each year which will mean that in
time the ownership of the whole
building will pass TO the lodge.
Should the Elks accept this prop.
osition II Is proposed to construct
the building on the plan OF a model
Elks' Club with theater and business
houses in connection. On the ground
floor will be a large rotunda and Elks
ofices,wit entrances from Colorado
avenue and Third street. and from
this broad staircase arises TO the
second floor where will be located
the lodge room. billiard rooms, card
rooms. reading rooms. etc. There
VIII be ten rooms for rent In the
building. The rental income from
the Luiiding will be about $500 per
month which. II Is estimated, will
yield out seven per cent on the
investment of sss.000 after paying all
fixed charges and expenses.
This proposition looks good to
the Tribune. In its analysis 1t
seems that the promoters OF the
scheme are willing to build for the
Elks and permit them to buy the
building at their convenience. The
$4,000 necessary to be raised by
the Elks In order to avail itself OF
this oefer can be easily raised ~

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1910-03-31

Bids for printing seventeen thousand
official and one thousand seven hundred
sample judicial ballots were opened
Saturday by County Clerk Vraney,
and were as follows Manitowoc
PILOT STD; Brandt Co. $3.50; VIM.
Gennrich $40; The Daily News $84.l5.
The PILOT being the lowest bidder
was awarded the contract The Daily
News didn't want much for printing
the ballots-only about five times a
reasonable price. They say that there
is little difficulty in distinguishing be-
tween the blood Of a human being and
that Of an animal, but the Editor Of
the PILOT will give leather medal
to any scientist if he can determine
from a sample of blood from the Editor
of the Daily News and one from a
greedy hog which is which. The Daily
News man who knows absolutely moth
ing about figuring on job, has the
eflrontery to say that the PILOT took
the Job for less than cost. But con-
sidering the source from which the
charge comes it isn't worthy of notice.
1t reminds Us of the Spanish proverb
that its waste Of lather to shave
An ass.
To reach all parts Of the county, ad-
vertise in the Manitowoc PILOT.
