sir" sent Roosevelt some whisky 80
years old and was thanked by the re-
cipient, who did not admit drinking
any of it but who did say that after
its receipt he shot almost as well
as If he were a Kentuckian. 1t can
not be inferred from this that Theo-
dore was half shot.

10 Demanded

Not satisfied with the voluntary raise
in the price to be paid for beets by the
Great Western Sugar company. Satur-
day the farmers of Fort Morgan, Brush
and Hillrose districts demanded a fiat
rate of $6 ton for their product next
year. At meeting at Brush Sunday
afternoon, at which 200 farmers from
the districts named were present,
committee was appointed to confer with
farmers associations in other parts of
the state with regard to their concur
renee with the fiat rate demand.
The meeting was called to consider
the contracts offered the sugar COM
pany for next year. The resolve to de-
mand the fiat rate grew out of ex-
pressed dissatisfaction over the offer
of l2t cents over S. for each per cent
sugar content over l5A per cent. R. A.

meeting and urged the Brush and Hill

that they found that considerable work
had been done at great expense, with
out any great benefit as yet, but that
the party in charge was still working
on it, hoped to develop an underflow
sufficient to operate the power plant at
that place, which requires 200 feet per
second. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion of the ten or twelve persons
who made the investigation at Kearney,
that it would be best for US at this time
to await the result of the further work
to be done there. and to keep posted as
to what he had accomplished, and try
to protitb by the experience at that place
and to turn our attention to the better
ment of conditions here, and to make
better use of the water we have at
hand in the future than we have in the
past. 1t was suggested by nearly all
present that the Board of Directors
proceed to put in uniform headgates of
good design and substantially made at
all laterals when water is taken from
the various canals. 1t was moved, Sec
onded and carried by an unanimous
vote, that the Board of Directors visit
other irrigation districts for the pur-
pose of informing themselves as to the
plans of operating and carrying on the
work relative to the delivery of water.
etc. 1t was moved, seconded and car
ried by unanimous vote, that the money
now on hand derived from the sale of

IN OVID HALL
The Directors of the Julesburs

Enthusiastic Meeting
Ovid, Colo, Dec. 3, 1910

Ovid, Colo., Dec. 8, 1910.
A meeting of the water users, together
with the Board of Directors of the
Julesburg Irrigation District having
been called, assembled at the hall in
Ovid, for the purpose of discussing
matters pertaining to the betterment of
the workings and conditions of the Jules
burg Irrigation District, and for the
purpose of hearing the reports of the
committees heretofore appointed to
make Investigations as to the advisable
ity of developing the underflow of the
Platte River for use of the canals
operated by the District, and also to
hear reports of the. parties who visited
Kearney Nebraska, to find what success
has been attained toward the develop
ment of the underfow at that place,
by Mr.. Stout.
The meeting was called to order and
presided over by DR.. Rook, and reports
and discussions were in part as follows:
The committee appointed to make in
vestigations at the head of the intake
canal to the reservoir, reported that
they had visited the place and made
borings in various places up from the
the head of canal, and found that the
gravel below contained plenty of water,
but that the conditions of the soil, etc,
was such that it would be difficult to
raise the water and carry it to the inlet
of the canal without considerable
expense in the way of piling or other
means of keeping the sand from below
from filling in the underflow ditch that
would have to be constructed.
On December LIST, the Board of Di-
rectors, together with a number of
water users, made investigation at
Kearney, Nebraska, and looked over
the underfiow ditch which is partially
constructed at that place, and reported
