TWO-BIT GRATITUDE.

A recent editorial in the Lander
tWyo.D State journal is so pertinent
as TO be worthy of reproduction. Un-
der tho heading 'Fwo-Bit Gratitude"
the Journal editor says
In this enlightened age. puhIi,i il,
the greatest progressive force ana sLe
individual or community that neglects
to employ it loses thereby. The
newspapers want the town 20 grow
and prosper that they may prosper
along with all other citizens. While
they should in all reason expect TO
make small profit on all work turn
ed out they have never asked even
that when the good of the town has
been sought. The average weekly
newspaper gives gratis for the good
of the public from $40 to $50 per
week, or from $500 to $1,000 per
year. What other business man gives
as much every year for the commun-
ity in which he lives? The causual
reader does not appreciate the fact
that 1t costs so much money to set
every line of type in the paper and
that the editor who pays his printers
is giving Just so much money to the
schools, the churches. the various
lodges, societies and associations ey-
cry time he prints a free reading
notice for them. Do you suppose
that any other business house would
give the price of sack of flour or
sugar, pair of shoes or a suit of
clothes to every organization in the
county every week? OF course not;
they would not be asked to do so even
If they were generous enough to do
II. Newspaper men do it because it
has been the custom to do it and be-
cause they are public spirited and
want to help along every worthy
cause to greater extent than they
are financially able
Commenting upon the above, ]. U.
Allard of the Evanston (Wyo. Times
has the following:
And the reward! oh, yes. the
editor gets his reward-most often
right where the chicken got the AK.
The average business man will write
all over the country for prices on
ordinary commercial job work; and
he usually gets the prices and the
workout of town. But if you
should fail to mention that Jones got
carload of potatoes or Smith a car
load of farm implements or that the
banks are increasing their deposits,
there is an immediate howl. Then
there is the business man who doesn't
believe in advertising. Let something
happen around his place of business,
and he feels sighted If the newspaper
does not mention the occurrence And
then there is the preacher and the
school professor who would monop-
olize our space with lengthy articles
that would not interest two per cent
of your readers. Refuse their re-
quest and you get shoulder re-

HALF MILLION DOLLAR
IRRIGATION PROJECT

Twenty thousand acres of rich
land in Montrose and Ouray counties
VIII be reclaimed and converted into
homesteads and rich farms and or
chards when the reservoirs and
bitches of the Happy Home Reservoir
Canal company, local organiza-
tion which has just been launched
are completed.
The reservoirs and bitches of the
company will cost over $500. 600 to
build and equip. The incorporators
OF the company are George |. Ber-

George F. Putnam and Richard A.

gineer in charge of the project.
The company has been in process
of formation for several months. but
no information was given out until
all the arrangements had been made,
ana there was no possible chance of
a miscarriage of the plans. Edgar l..
Beard assisted in the surveying work
The project consists of two large
reservoirs and a ditch 1917 miles
long. The reservoirs will be supplied
by the waters in Dallas and Cow
creeks. Both of the reservoirs are
located near Ridgway, one of them
covering 500 acres and the other 700
acres. Their capacity is $1,000 acre
feet of water. The creeks drain di-
reetly into the reservoirs and the wa

canal to the land.
Five thousand acres of the land is
located in Ouray county and fifteen
thousand acres in Montrose county.
The land is all rich and of the very
best character for fruit growing and

Apparently most of the recent
disasters that have resulted in SO
great a loss of life have been due
to carelessness or neglect Of orders.
No protection against accident and
no regulations, however stringent,
can avail to any extent unless those
who have the carrying out of those
orders properly perform their du-
ties. If human life were held in
higher regard and the sense of re-
sponsibi1ity for the safety Of others
more deeply ingrailed there would
be far fewer tragedies and bereaved
homes.
