tend its opening, made the chief ad-
dress. He dwelt emphatically upon
Nthe great benefits derived from irriga-
tion in Colorado and the West.
"You see around you here. vast
rolling prairie blessed by a rich soil
and clay-soil to retain the moisture"
he said. at is prairie today and it
was prairie half century ago when
the Indians roamed over it. Next
year thousands of acres of this
prairie will be torn by plows and it
will begin to change appearance. In
few short years you will scarcely
realize that this land was as it is
today
cultivation and irrigation will
transform the face of Nature. The
proximity of this vast tract to Denver
will insure a ready market for all the
farmers can produce. This is mag
nificent enterprise and seems certain
of great success
This project should do much for
Colorado. The addition of such a gi-
gantic farm as this will be, in no
slight affair. understand there have
been financial difficulties and 1 am
glad that all have been overcome.
81 am happy to know that this tre-
mendous enterprise has been carried
out at last. 1t is an engineering feat
of Importance and 1t is an Industrial
accomplishment of far greater import
ance to the community. 1t means al

alfalfa. peas. beans. tomatoes and
other vegetables. and an area In small
fruits-all Of which will gladden. the
hearts of tens OF thousands of people,"
w. H. Rosecrans of Chicago, consult
ing engineer for the company, who de-
signed the dam and much of the canal
system, spoke of the problems en-
countered and the satisfaction in over
coming them
Mr.. Rosecrans is one Of the most
noted irrigation engineers in the world
and has designed fifty big water sys-
tens involving the expenditure of as
many million dollars. The Big Horn
Basin Irrigation and Power Company
system of Wyoming, costing $4,000
900; the Pueblo-Rocky Ford Irrigation
system. costing s1.2oO,O0O. and the
Dodge City. Kans., project to water
100000 acres are among the greatest
of Mr.. Rosecrans' many accomplish
ments.
Governor Carey of Wyoming ex-
pressed his admiration of the work
done SO close to Denver.
You will have a vast new farming
district within sight of your city, and
1t is something worth thinking about"
The Standley dam is the largest
earth dam in the United States. The
grading done on the dam Is equal to
100 miles of double track standard
railroad. The dam is 11s feet high.
Gatun dam at Panama Is 125 feet high.
The STANDBY dam has been thorough
ly tested and showed no seepage or
percolation when two-thIrds full of
water. Its position is such that it can
furnish water to strip OF land ten to
twenty miles vide on either side of the
Platte river from Denver to Greeley.

Portland. Maine.-From 499 out Of
521 cities. towns and plantations in
Maine. unofficial returns gave ma
jority of 904 for repeal OF the prohibit
tory constitutional amendment.
The missing twenty-five towns cast
less than 3B5 votes at the state cleo
tion three years ago. The total vote
follows: Total for repeal, 60,7S2;
total against repeal. 59,S7s.
One hundred and twenty thousand
voters cast ballots on the question. AS
had been predicted, the cities were the
chief strongholds of the repeal faction
but the majority OF twelve thousand in
the total city vote was barely suffi-
cient, according to the latest available
returns. to offset the vote of the rural
regions.
Although the vote did not equal that
of a year ago, when the Democrats
swept the state which for years had
been Republican stronghold. the
election was an interesting contest.
There was not home In any part
OF the state which was not flooded
with literature by both sides. while the
voters were waited on by personal
workers and harangued at public gath
erlngs to cast their ballots for or
against repeal.
The result was that hundreds of vot-
ers who had not visited the polls for
years, with the possible exception of
last year. were recorded.
Little excitement marked the voting.
Although the polls in some OF the
cities were crowded during much OF
the time. It was an orderly crowd and
gave the officials little or mo- trouble.
Since 1857 Maine has had d statute
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been part of the constitution.
In 1884 the question of placing pro-
hibition In the constitution was put
before the people and prohibition won
by a majority of 45.9SS. carrying ev-
cry county in the state. Following this
the attacks of the anti-prohibitionists
ceased Tor time. only to be renewed
In later years.
The Democratic party last year
made the question of resubmission of
the constitutional amendment plank
In its platform. The Democrats swept
the state In the election and the Leg
islature, aided by some Republicans,
voted to put the question before the
people.
The apparent decision Of the voters.
on the fact of the returns to take
prohibition out of the constitution,
does not mean that liquor can lawful
ly be sold. The Legislature must act
before the present statutory law adopt
ed IN 1867 can be repealed and the
question must again go before the
people.
Whether Gov. Plaistead will call
special session of the Legislature for
the purpose is not definitely Known.
but among prominent Democrats it is
reported that the governor will take
euch o step.

A COLOSSAL Bl.UNDER.
That of the Wage Garner Who Fails to
Join the Union

nat OF the wage Garner VINO TaiiS 10
Join the Union.
The biggest blunder wage Garner
can make is to fail to unite with his
comrades in a trade union. 1t is
blunder so great that it amounts to a
crime-a crime against himself, against
his family and against his race and
especially against his class.
That his conduct is crime of shame
full enormity is plain from the fact
that he is putting himself with set
who alone stand in the way of the
uplift of all workingmen, for If all
wage earners were in the union there
could be no scabs and strike breakers,
so that the employers would be forced
to meet the reasonable demands of
their employees.
How self respecting wage Garner
or an honest minded one can content
himself in slavish inaction for his own
welfare is beyond human knowledge;
no man can invent an excuse for him.
This applies to nonunion men who live
surrounded by union influences and
where the invitation to join the union
is constantly extended to them.
There may be others to whom the
gospel of unionism has never been
preached. The union men themselves
are responsible for their failure to join
the union. 1t is our duty to preach
the trade union gospel to the heather
that there shall be none to whom the
good news has not been carried and to
keep at it faithfully, earnestly, per
sistently until there shall not be an
honest man in all the land left to ad
vocate the cause of industrial slavery

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Some writer's and orators who
know less about the labor ques-
ton than they do about the north
. pole declare that trade unions
destroy personal liberty and keep
all the workers down to "a dead
level of sloth and incompetency."
This Is just as true as to say
that the seats in q street car de-
stroy the liberty of the passen-
gers to stand up.
There never was more shame
less fraud than this right to
work" proposition in the way
that 1t is being put forward by
the trusts. The right to work
for nothing is not a right. 1t is
a wrong.
What are trade unions organ
lied for If not to obtain more
personal liberty for their mem
bers? Can any one seriously i'm
agine that a body of men will
Dduu IO5cluci anu pay NuSS tOi
years for. the sake Of getting
less personal liberty than they
have?
What does liberty mean? Is
man free who has nothing to
say about his wages and his
hours of labor? Is man free
who takes the harness and the
whip as obediently as a cart
horse? Is q man free whose
only aim in life is to do what
he is told and take what he is
offered? If this is freedom, then
the trusts must have a peculiar
dictionary of their own.
No man is free who has not
something to say about the con
ditions under which he works.
