GRAND RIVER WATER CONTROVERSY
Affected BY EXTRA LEGISLATION
Hon B. t. Nalie Of Genwood, Locates Joker
In Bill and Blocks Measure Until Amended

just al the present time one of the
matters of most importance TO the
people of the western slope is the
preservation of our rights to the wa
ters of the Grand river. and the re-
sistance of the encroachments of the
eastern slope interests that are try
ing to divert that water to their side
of the range
The subject may be approached
from various directions. and quite
directly through legislation. In this
respect the proposed initiative and
referendum bill before the extra ses-
sion has especial bearing Ii may or
may not, according TO its terms. give
us the power of conserving our rights.
In this respect the position taken by
Representative Barney T. Napier. OF
Glenwood Springs, is of interest. The
Avalanche gives the following eN-
position of his action and its relation
to western slope interests:
IF one is to believe what he reads
in the Denver News regarding certain
of the democratic senator's. who are
now in the state capital that certain
laws may be passed. b. r Napier of
this city, representing Garfield. Eagle
and Rio Blanco counties is certainly
in III repute with that paper.
The News does not fight fairly in
the matter and instead of telling its
readers that Senator b. T. Napier is
fighting for the rights of the three
counties he represents. the News in
sinuates that he is not fighting for
Denver as he should, in their opinion.
The whole spleen venting of the
News arises from the fact that Sena-
tor Napier sees a niger in the wood
pile and believes that the people of
the eastern slope are trying to get
the waters of Grand river for their
exclusive use.

PASTOR QUITS
AFTER RUMPUS

A garbed account of the trouble in
the Clifton Metho odist church appear
ed in the morning paper, and 1t is
understood that the good people of
that flourishing town are very much
wrought up about it,
The facts in the case are practical
ly as appeared in the Success and are
as follows;
i.ey. a. l.. Hartle rendered his res
ienation as pastor at the Sunday SER
vices of the Clifton Methodist church
and will not preach for the two re-
naming Sundays = of the year for
which he had been assigned to the
local church.
The resignation came as the cul-
mination of, trouble which the pastor
had with one or two members of the
congregation-dif difficulties due in a
measure to the payment of the min
ister's salary. The trouble reached a
climax Friday evening at a meeting
of members of the congregation at
the conclusion of which Rev. Mr..
Hartle appeared and announced that
he would tender his resignation.
Sermons which Mr. Hartle preach
ed on Hypocrisy" and which were
considered to be addressed at one OF
the trustees resulted in a visit from
Presiding Elder Lee, who notified
the pastor that personal sermons
would not be tolerated in the church.
DR.. Lee was also present at Sunday S
meeting at which MIR. Hartle an
nounced that he would no longer
preach in the Methodist church.
Mr. Hartle intends to enter the
real estate business in Clifton.
1t is announced that services will
be held Sunday as usual in the Meth
odist church, and it is probable that
a temporary supply will be secured
from Palisade until the conference
meets next month at Fort Collins.

tthe value of water just as much as
the people of Denver and other east
ern slope sections. We know that
without water. we will have no ranch
es and fruit orchards. Denver knows
the same thing. but what does Denver
care for Garfield. Eagle and Rio
Blanco counties? Not a rap At
present we have the water and fur
thermore, we are going to hang onto
IL. We need the water for OUR
ranches and orchards. And when Mr..
Napier saw the Joker in the proposed
initiative law. which was proposed
solely in the interest of Denver. he
baked good and hard and stuck to
his point until he secured clause,
which makes il next to impossible for
Denver to get a law initiated that
would take this water. Mr.. Napier
required that the initiative and ref
erendum bill must have two-thirds of
the counties of the state act in unison
before laws could be initiated This
makes it impossible for the eastern
slope to work any flim-flam games on
the counties of the western slope. II
will serve in great measure, to pro-
tect our waters for our lands.
THE News yesterday bitterly ar
raigns Senator Napier. but if the
News will come over here in either of
the three counties represented by
Senator Napier, they will find the
people unit and patting the senator
on the back for the determined fight
he is making for his three counties
on this Grand river water proposition.
1t has ever been hobby of Senator
Napier that the waters must be pro-
tected for this side of the hills. He
knows that If the Denver crowd ever
get toe hold. they will make other
grabs and eventually. instead of the
western slope having plenty of water,
we will have what they want to give
us"

A GREAT INSTITUTION. Holly Grove Correspondent has a few words to say
 for County Paper,
Holly Grove, July 2Oth. 1910.

Holly Grove, July 20th. 1910. Dear ARGUS;
 Among the rifting clouds of events and storm-heaten days, l still catch a vision of your thoughts coming to us through your paper.
 Few, yes too few I have to say, properly appreciate our local papers, and the familiar news they bring to our doors. A county or local paper bears to us the community news of. our neighbors, business, and pol itics. It gives us for 3 cents a week more news than $500 in U. S. stamps would bring by per- sonal letters.
 It gives us access to an under standing of all the happenings of importance in the circle of our towns and county in which we live, yes and much more, and still there are those who kick on their county papers as if they where to blame for not contain ing all the news of the world.
 As I understand a County Paper" it is a sheet printed weekly, and devoted to giving the citizens of it's county the local happenings of the towns of the county, as nearly as possible also the court proceedings and other legal publications, as well as all the advertisements avail able to the management, and all blank space yet left filled with impromtu editorials written for best interests of the citizenship in the radius of it's publication. Our big dailies tell us the big | cosmopolitan things and happen ings of the whole world. The news is piled in the big office through the associated press, leased wires of correspondents, and world>encircling cables, and

each day drops at our door the news that does not belong in our local papers.
 We are often too prone to crit icise even the best efforts Of those who labor for us. If they labored not, we should miss them and be less comfortable. Too often do I see a boy or girl complain almost by habit at what their parents do for them. When the sacrificing mother and labor ing father are laboring faithfully and necessarily for their child's comforts and pleasures. This same thoughtless appreciation appears everywhere. We break the hearts of our living friends and repent in tears at the grave.
 1 do not write this because or any cricicism on any particular paper, but more as an apprecla- tion of them all.

 should ba glad to see our local papers go to every home h the county. I believe 1t would help the county citizenship and it's business in every way. as well as give the editors an income amply sufficient to make every possible connection for the larger and better paper.
