"She said. also. that her father was
in our car. and that there would be
the mischief to pay in the morning.
It was probably when my sister tried
to get the papers that he awakened
and she had to do what she did"

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
Senate Passes Carpenter Bill.
D o I N G s


The Carpenter bill. with the Parrish
amendment, Is regarded as one of the
most important irrigation measures
that has come before the Colorado
Legislature in many years. By its
final enactment0 reservoir or storage
rights in water from the natural
streams Of the state will be placed on
the rule of priority. Just as direct ap-
preparations for irrigation through
bitches are now and always have been
placed; and the owners Of storage res
ervoirs will have the right to take up
and impound all of the unappropriat.
ed waters in the state, whether for
domestic, irrigation or power pur-
poses.
After the Cross substitute, which
provided that the law should remain
az 1t Is, was defeated. and the Parrish
amendment had been adopted by a
vOte of nineteen to twelve. Senator
Carpenter presented amendments to
the amended bill which, instead Of
compelling reservoir owners to install
weirs and self-registering devices for
the measurement OF water at the in
take. leaves that matter to the dis
cretion Of the state engineer; and, in
stead Of requiring reservoir owners to
place guage rods at the outlets Of the
reservoirs to determine the volume Of
water passing out of the reservoir,
permits them to place the guage rods
Dear the outlets.

Obituary

At 2 o'clock a. m. July 5th Amos
Vinegar passed peacefully away.
Although not identified with any
church he lived the life of a christ
ian.
Amos VoIney Vinegar was born
Sept 6, 1858 in Sacramento, Cali
fornia. In May 1861, he went to
Iowa, where he resided until he came
to S. OAK. in March 1884, where he
has made his home ever since
About two years ago he moved from
South Hand Co. to Miller. About
the time tf his moving to Miller he
met with an accident, from which
he never recovered.
He was married to Emma West
mire, and they we're blessed with
six children Arlie, Ethel. Valla,
Hazel, Mabel. and Willard He
leaves d father, two sisters and five
brothers besides a host of friends to
mourn his loss. At the time of his
death he was 53 years of age. His
twin brother, j. Vinegar, of Wess-
ington Springs. also his sister, Mrs
Fame Corbin, and his father, j. w.
Vinegar, from north eastern Iowa,
were present at his death. A large
number of his neighbors and friends
from South Hand attended the fun
eral which took place at the Pres
byterian church, July 5, Rev. Swart-
out, a former pastor and friend Of
the family, preached a comforting
sermon.
Mr. Vinegar was highly respected
by all his neighbors. He was always
ready to lend a helping hand in any
time of need. or to give a word of
sympathy or cheer in time of sor-
row.
He was quiet and refined in his
habits and his word was las good as
gold and his example was felt in
the community, where he lived.
His wife and children. and the fam
lily relatives have the sympathy of a
host of friends and neighbors.

The Crop Outlook

In many cases, farmers will pillow
up their early small grain fields this
year, either for summer taIloW or
for sowing winter wheat.
If the state gets its corn crop, as
now promised, it will demonstrate
the value and hardness of the corn
plant, and encourage its more eX.
tensive growth and cultivation in
the future. And if this result DC
ours, it will be one f the greatest
benefits ever obtained b" South Da
kota. Sooner or later every new
state has been forced to reduce it's
wheat area, and produce more feed
crops. The time will come when
this state will at least alternate her
corn and all small grain crops about
half and half. This seems to be a
natural law of development.
Even North Dakota has finally
made efforts in the direction Of
corn, mixed farming and stock rails
ing, South Dakota has a long ad-
vantage over the north state in this
respect, but still has great oppor-
tunIty for improvement.

Rev. Tell Married

The following item from the
Aberdeen American refers to Rev.
O. +. Tell. pastor Of the Presbyter-
ian church in Miller a few years
ago:
Monday evening a long expected
wedding took place when Rev. Oscar
+. Tell of Philip, S. d., and Miss
Grace A. Harris of Aberdeen, were
united in marriage by Rev. e., C..
Todd. The ceremony was perform
ed at the residence of the latter, and
was a very quiet affair. Rev. and
Mrs Tell will leave shortly for
Philip. where the former is pastor
of the Presbyterian church. He
has been one of the pioneer preach
ers in the country west of the Miss
ouri, and has rendered most efficient
service in that capacity.

Why We Knock

When one considers that out Of
ten or twelve grain producing states
in the great central section of this
country, only two have normal
crops this year, one is impress
ed with the uselessness of knocking
ones own state just because it is
affected like the rest. The season
of 1911 has been an unprecedented
one for heat and drouth throughout
the whole country and following
upon an unusually open winter. 1T
finds the ground unprepared to
withstand such conditions. North
Dakota and Wisconsin have been
more fortunate than their sister
states in the matter of rainfall and
they will. in many sections, produce
as good or better crops than usual,
but they are the exceptions. South
Dakota will not actually suffer as
much from the present year as many
other states, but because of her
more recent development, unpleas-
ant conditions are more noticeable
here than in the older settled sec-
tons, and 1t takes a little more
nerve to keep from knocking a
country but recently out of the pi-
oneer stage.
