Florence Nightingale.

in honor of the 'city Of flowers" that
she was named. She was the daughter
of a wealthy English landowner and
returned with her parents to England
when a child. She early displayed an
inclination toward philanthropy, and
was the first woman to follow modern
army into battle as nurse. Although
her father was a very wealthy man,
she insisted on learning all that there
was to be learned about the profession
of nursing and became famous as a
''probationer" in London hospitals. La
ter on she went to France and subse-
quently to Germany A few years later
she was in Africa nursing Arabs with
such effect, says one of her biograph-
ers, that the Moslems were almost
convinced that the woman had a
soul"
When the war of the Crimea broke
out the British army sent to the front
to help the French in the struggle with
the Russians was not accompanied by
the usual corps of women nurses. The
struggle had been going on only few
months, however, when Bull Run"
Russell began sending to his English
newspaper heartrending accounts of
the frightful conditions that prevailed
in the British hospitals and the hOrri-
BILE state of the wounded men. In
stantly all England was in an uproar,
and for a time the British ministry
seemed tottering. Then, almost at the
same moment, for their letters crossed
each other, Florence Nightingale volun-
teered to take corps of nurses to the
front and Herbert Sydney, the secre-
tary Of war, suggested to her such a
commission.
October Is, 1854, Niss Nightingale
set forth on her errand of mercy at
the head of a corps of "a women nurses
and equipped with most of the ma
terial for setting up a first-class field
hospital.
Establishing herself on the heights
of Scutari, near Constantinople, Miss
NIGHTINGALE and her aids began the
organization of a field hospital. At one
time she had four miles of wounded
four miles of cots, side by side-with
only "a women to nurse her patients
Goon after this letters began coming
j., hundreds into the homes Of England
which established permanently in the
hearts of the people the supremacy OF
Florence Nightingale among all Eng
,ish women. She was the angel Of the
battlefield" the angel of the Crimea."
In August, 1856, Miss Nightingale re-

The snowfall bulletin for Colorado
of the climatelogical service of the
weather bureau, just issued by the
department of agriculture. says:
THE distribution of the snowfall
up to December 31st was irregular
and, as whole. considerable less
than for the corresponding period last
year. AS compared with the normal
there was a deficiency on the north
eastern drainage areas, and an excess
on the southeastern and western wa
tersheds. The ground was not deeply
frozen when the first snow fell, and
II Is likely that considerable moisture
will be absorbed when melting begins
Continued cold and the general alb
sence of high winds have been un-
favorable to package. The warm spell
at the close of December. which
caused considerable settling and some
melting. put the snow at moderate
elevations in a condition favorable
for solidifying, but at higher alti-
tudes. where the weather has remain
ed very cold, the snow is still In
comparatively loose state.
On the Arkansas watershed. more
than usual amount of snow has fall
len, and in many localities the fall
has been greater than a year ago. An
exception, however. is noted on the
slopes of the Spanish Peaks, while on
the Greenhorn range, nearby, the fall
has been the greatest in 10 years.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR CUSTER COUNTY

]. A. Putnam of Montrose. and as
sociates, are Interested in an irriga-
ton project In Custer county, plans
for which have just been made pub
lie. This new enterprise has for its
object the reclamation by irrigation
of 10000 acres of land on the south
end OF Wet Mountain valley. The tract
is of rich soil and when watered will
produce abundant crops of grain and
potatoes equal to any other section
of Colorado. The source of the wa
ter is Sand creek. one of the strong
est flowing streams In the Sangre de
Cristo range.
A large dam will be built to raise
the water in the lakes at the head Of
the creek and the body of water will
then be tapped by canal which will
carry 1t down the east slope of the
mountain. All of the preliminaries
have been completed and the enter
prise, according to Mr.. Putnam. Is
amply financed. A force of men will
be started to work as soon as the
weather will permit
This large increase of agricultural
area will be the means of creating a
substantial growth for Custer county
as well as materially adding to the
ranch output of that productive val
ley.-Florence Citizen.

LESS SNOWFALL THIS WINTER
Than TWELVE MONTHS AGO

Comparison with last years record
and with the normal show that de-
ficiency of snowfall has characterized
this season throughout the region
drained by the South Platte and by
the North Platte, which rises in North
Park.
In the region drained by the Rio
Grande the snowfall has been greater
than for the corresponding period
last year, as well as greater than the
average.
While the snowfall has been less
than a year ago on the upper water
shed of the Grand in Summit county
and parts of Grand county, the fall
in general has equaled the normal. In
other parts of the upper drainage sys-
tenn the amounts are, as a rule. great
er than the normal and the fall last
year.
Except near the Continental Divide,
the snowfall over the Gunnison drain
age area has not only been greater
than the normal. but greater than for
the corresponding period last year.
On the upper reaches Of Yampa the
snowfall has been less than year ago,
and slightly below the normal. Quite
the opposite conditions exist In the
region drained by the San Juan pro-
per and its large tributaries that Join
the trunk stream in Utah and New
Mexico. In this region the fall has
been unusually heavy"

deep and fantastic crevices that are
almost nnexplored.
'The park is near BY the fortunate
