GREETING.

GREETING.
Hail, Guest! We ask not what thou
art
If friend, we greet thee hand and
heart;
II stranger, such no longer be:
IL zoe our love shall conquer thee.
Old friends and new friends. let's
all be good friends together because
We want to cut out formality for a
while and have a real nice heart to
heart talk with you.
from time to time we hear from
the lips of those who are but partial
~ acquainted with us, the words
"Oh, an Elk is just a good fellow
and that's ALL"
Now we don't object to being called
good fellows, hot by a Jug full
because one of the most essential
qualities of good Elk is that of
ScodfelloWship for bad fellow at
heart never yet qualified as a good
Elk; but somehow we don't like the
way those people say it,-"and that's
al.' 1t seems to imply that an Elk
is kind Of good fellow who is really
not a good fellow.
People sometimes make the mis-
take OF Judging a class by an indi-
V1dual member of that class, more
often than not picking out Docr
specimen as an example, too, and we
feel assured that this is just what has
been done in our case.
By this statement we know that we
acknowledge that poor specimens ex-
lst among us, and where in the world
will YOU not find good, bad and in
different elements associated with
each other; but from the time of our
birth as Elks. up to- the present
moment. it has ever been our en-
deavor to do as much as possible to-
wards the moral betterment of our
selves and our fellowmen, and it is
our intention still to go on making
efforts in that direction
Men banded together for the pur-
pose Of advancing the principles
which are based on the cardinal
virtues of charity, justice, brotherly
love and fidelity, must necessarily be
more than lust good fellows" in the
sense in which those words are used
with reference to us, now don't you
think so? Of course you do.
Our little talk is over. We trust
you understand us little better than
you did before it began. However, let
us once more extend to you our hands
in welcome
Friend from the North, South, East
or West,
When you cross our threshold as a.
guest
Shake sadness, let gladness all
thoughts enhance;
And now, sweet guest, let's on with
the dance!

A Lucky Fugitive.

Ex-Gov. William s. Taylor of Ken.
lucky is lucky man. After having
been indicted for participation in the
murder of Gov. Goebel he fed to In
diana. The chief executive of the
Hoosier state was Republican, and
when Gov. Beckham made requisi-
tion for Taylor it was refused. Now
there is to be inaugurated a Demo-
cratic governor of Indiana, and If
there should come request from
Kentucky for Taylor it would be
granted. But no such request is to
be made. Kentucky has Republican
governor and he is willing that Tay-
lor remain where he is.

WHITE MANS OCEAN.
But He Is Strangely inconsistent il
Enforcing His Claim to the
wafor

The Caucasians of Coney Island are
becoming very sensitive on the race
question. They have taken to object
ing-violently-to the use of their
ocean by Negroes. Go swimming in
the Dead sea or Great Salt lake or
the Gowanus canal if you've got to
bathe,' they told two black men who
had the temerity last Friday to ap,
proach the Atlantic for a wash. "but
keep away from u.s."
Then with curious inconsistency
they proceeded to throw them into
this same Atlantic and half drown
them, and by this action, on their
own statements, polluted the water for
Caucasian use. Sweet reasonableness
should have led them to form a cor
don along the sands and guard their
ocean from the dark skins at all haz-
ards. God must needs laugh out
right could such a thing be- said Car
lyle. ito see his wondrous manikins
here below" In this case it would be
a bitter laugh, with much of shame
mixed in.-:New York Globe.

Lake Reservoir Enlargements.

For several days the rumor has
been current that a fling had been
made for a number of lakes now
voirs, however nothing authentic
could be obtained until this week
when the preliminary filings were
made in the county clerks office.
under the signature of the state en-
gineer.
Through the courtesy of County
Clerk Gibbs, we are enabled to give
the principal facts of the enlarge
ments. The project is to be known
as Project No. of the Surface Creek
Ditch and Reservoir Company. which
now owns the largest and one of the
best reservoir systems on Grand
mesa. The claimants of the filing are.
J. s. Wright. T. H. Aust, G. w. Dyer.
w. w. Dingman and J. j. Ruka. all
of Cedaredge.
The filing covers the following
, lakes and reservoirs:
Kiser Slough Reservoir No. l..
Daniels Slough No. 2. kennicott
Park No. 3. Upper Eggleston No. 4.
Eggleston Lake No. s, Barron Lake
No. 6, Alexander Lake No. s, Hotel

Upper Hotel Lake No. II, Deep
, Ward No. 12, Deep Slough No. ,13,
Sheep Lake No. IA. Island Lake No.
is, Beaver Dam Lake No. 8, Rim
rock Lake No. II.
The filing names certain lands In
L.. ~f ha u,hinb trfI1 ra-
ceive water from the enlargement
and states that water will be car
ried through private bitches and the
Reclamation canal which heads on
Ward Creek.
The exact capacity of the enlarge
ments were not given, but from the
information obtainable, 1t appears
that the present capacity will be
more than duplicated. which means
