Citizens are the Proposition Certainly
Great Big Winner.
From The Ainmosa Courier.

From The Ainmosa Courier
The meeting of representative
business men Monday night re-
suited in a complete and crafty
ing endorsement of The Courier S
attitude in regard to the Ala
mosa Irrigation district and its
attendant features of drainage.
1t is aeldom one sees more
harmonious and enthusiastic meet
ing, and at the same time char
acterized with the solid business
sense that the importance of the
subject should command.
All the speakers realized the
necessity for earnest, con
certed and immediate action,
and as result, on motion
of John Spriestersbach, the presi-
dent OF the Commercial club was
instructed to appoint a commit
tee of three to handle the finances
contributed to assist the promo
.:on of the proposed Irrigation
district.
Mr.. Spriestersbach explained
what drainage had done on the
lands of the Parma Land com
pany, near Monte Vista. Land
which he, a few years ago,told
the then owners was not worth
one dollar an acre, is to-day, since
the institution of drainage, pro
ducing as fine crops as are
grown &aywhel N the san LUIS
Valley, which means that the land
is worth at least one hundred
dollars an acre.
w. o. Mieir addressed the
club for nearly an hour dis
cussing il detail the various fea-
lures of the proposition. show
ing the possibilities and certain
benefits to be derived by com
prehansive system Of drainage
and reservoirs as planned for
the proposed Irrigation district.
This was followed by general
discussion, in which practically
every person present took part,
asking questions, making sugges-
tions and promising support. 1t
was very gratifying to note the
spirit of unanimity which pre-
vailed, and the hearty commenda-
tion given this, the greatest
movement ever inaugurated in the
valley. 1t demonstrated that the
business men of Alamosa are a
bunch of boosters who can, and
will, assist a worthy enterprise.
Mayor Edmisten most heartily
endorsed the proposed work and
said it was the individual duty of
every citizen of Alamosa to see
to it that the Irrigation district

AS may readily be surmised, the
chief sphere of usefulness for motor
cars in the navy service lies in the
assistance they can render at shore
stations, such as navy yards, and at
the naval workshops which have to
do with supplying the ships with
guns and ammunition and other in
dispensible classes of supplies. The
best evidence of what these new help
ers can accomplish In this way is
to be had at the United States naval
gun factory, the big industrial plant
which manufactures all the heavy
guns for our armOrclads. Here four
electric trucks of varying capacities
are in constant service, each perform
ing the work of not less than half
dozen horse-drawn carts. Indeed,
these four trucks perform the entire
work of transferring from shop to
shop all the material of every descrip-
ton entering into the manufacture ct
the big guns.
One of these trucks has a capacity
of 1000 pounds: a second is capable
of carrying $500 pounds; the third
can transport two tons, and the fourth,
designed for the heaviest class of
work, is capable of toting around a
tidy five tons. These horseless trucks
