TELEPHONE MERGER

The following is given out con
corning the recent merger of tele-
phone and telegraph companies:
Rumors which have been pre-
valent for some time with reference
to the acquiring of The Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Com
pany properties by the Colorado
Telephone Company are confirmed
by the action of the Board of
Directors of the former company
at its meeting held recently.
A few days ago The Colorado
Company merged with its associ-
ate company to the south-Thc
Tri-State Telephone and Telegraph
Company, which has heretofore
operated in Southern New Mexico
and Eastern Arizona. The merged
companies were re-christencd The
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the CAPT
tai stock increased TO S5OOOO,0OO;
and the first act OF the new cor
poration is the acquiring Of The
Rocky Mountain Bell properties
by purchase.
The new corporation is capital
lied at x5O.0OO,O0O, but less than
half this amount will DO issued
against the properties and an ac-
tual excess of physical property
will be maintained over the amount
Of stock issued. There will be no
preferred stock and no bonds, and
no attempt will DO madc to pay
dividends in excess of what the
public might consider reasonable
and honest.
The new company will operate
its exchanges and toll lines in
Utah, Wyoming. Montana, Idaho,
Eastern Arizona, New Mexico and
Colorado.

EXTENSIVE PLANS
FOR RECLAMATION

Steps are being taken to form
an irrigation and drainage district
embracing lands to the southeast
of Monte Vista.
This body of more than one
hundred thousand acres embraces
some of the richest land in the
valley, but owing to extensive irri-
cation on the higher lands and the
comparatively fiat condition of the
lands in the proposed district,
nearly its entire area has been rem
dered worthless by being thorough
ly saturated for years with seepage
water. These waters have carried
with them their alkali content and
by constant evaporation have de-
posted their alkaline salts, render
ing the land over II vast area prac-
tically unproductive.
The time was when much of
this land was very productive but
irrigation of the higher lands de-
stroyed their fertility by seepage
water and the constant deposition
OF alkaline salts.
All this can be cheaply, quickly
and easily remedied by building
seepage or drainage bitches TO in.
tercept the underhow. The sur
plus mineral salts, too. can easily
he removed by flooding after the
seepage bitches are constructed to
carry off the surplus water
One of the main features of IA
proposition of this nature is the
necessity of providing reservoir
water. 1t is very evident that with
the land well drained, it will re-
quire more water for irrigation.

The British authorities some time
ago made a test OF the alleged value
of alcohol when men are subjected to
unusual and exhausting labor. Eek
periments mere made at different
times and under varying conditions
with three regiments from each OF
several brigades. In one every man
was forbidden to drink any alcohol
whatever while the test lasted; in the
second. malt liquor only was taken:
in the third. a ration of whisky was
given to each man. The whisky
drinkers manifested more dash at
first. but generally in about four days
showed signs OF weakness and ia.
tigue: those given malt liquor dis
played less dash at first, but their en-
DURANGO lasted somewhat longer;
while the abstainers improved daily
in alertness and staying powers. In
