LAND PLAN
NOT QUITE
UNDERSTOOD

The committee engaged In can
vassing land subscriptions for the
reinancing of the Laramie-Poudre
r. & |. company report that $500
acres of the necessary 10000 have
been pledged. Subscriptions have
been rather backward in this section
owing to the failure of small owners
generally to satisfy themselves that
the old construction company has
exhausted all its resources. 1t is
contended by these owners that the
100000 bonds put up by the old
company to help secure the notes to
be issued by Mr.. Evans of the new
company, are merely collateral, re-
turnable to the original owners up
on the discharge of the obligation
for which they SO placed. This be-
ing true, they fail to see where the
company is making any sacrifice.
Another point is the apparent
backwardness of the new company
to guarantee immediate payment of
outstanding obligations of the Lara
mi company, which obligations, it
| is maintained, should be wiped out
so that fresh start may be made
with clean slate.
The postponement of the building
of the river reservoir for one or
more years also does not appeal to
the man who is actually waiting for
the completion of the system to
make farming and the establishment
of home possible. The system,
without the flood-controlling reser-
voir, while it might for time en-
hance the value of lands temporar-
lily, must prove disappointment to
the water user, since the key to the
entire system Is embodied in the
river reservoir, and on the showing
of crops raised during the first years
will depend to the utmost the sala-
bility of bonds with which to build
1t.
These, and the fact that the pure
ly speculative owners of district
lands have not donated in anything
like the proportion to their possible
benefits under the new plan, are
some of the reasons why land own
ers are not falling over themselves
: to align with the proposed new
- order of things.-Pierce Record.

/ McAFEE RECEPTION
IpR0VES ENHANCING AFFAIR

against all cOmers. The host no.
ticing this little unpleasantness
waved a black jack in the air for a
moment. This gentle hint sufficed
to make the guests laugh with their
mouths shut during the remainder
OF the meal.
Following the dinner cuspidors
were passed and the guests made
merry at concert provided for the
occasion. Sousa's famous band play
ed several selections. Madame Schu-
mann-Heinck sang solo or two
and the Famous male quartet sang
barber shop chords, ad libitum,
crescendo, diminuendo, fortissimo
and back again. much to the disgust
Of the hosts dog, who seems to
share the aversion OF some people
for classical music. The dog tried
to outsing the monograph wherein
was bottled all of the singers and
bands and things. This was a
trifie disconcerting to the large rats
that were waiting for the feast to
be over. In the excitement one of
them bit the toe of the consul from
Mexico, evidently mistaking this
portion of his anatomy for piece
of cheese. The yell that he emitted
caused the dog to fear Jail break
and. having been trained to stop
these manifestations on the part
of the guests, he grabbed the consul
on far more delicate part of his
being. Finding the job of carrying
dogs and rats about on his person
too unpleasant to be tolerated. the
Mexican grabbed knife to get re-
venge. This procedure practically
broke up the party, although none
of the guests returned to their
homes. The affair was pronounced
to be one OF the most entertaining
of the holiday season.

SCHOOLS
TEACHING
SEXOl0GY

Grand Junction, Dec. 23.-Be-
lieving that ignorance is responsible
in a large measure for the social
evil, and that the schools are the
proper place where the children
should be taught sex responsibil1-
ties, the Grand Junction school
board has arranged for course OF
instruction in the public schools by
DR.. Lyman Sperry of Oberlin, Ohio.
The action was taken at the in
stance of the Ministerial alliance.
that organization starting the move
ment upon the request of the Rev.
F. c. Smith, rector of the Episcopal
church. Mr. Smith had started to
arrange for instruction Of the boys
of his own church. but, believing
that a more capable instructor could
be secured by cooperation with the
other churches, presented the mat
ter to the Ministerial alliance. me
idea won immediate approval as a
possible solution of the many evils.
responsible today for continued
increase in the ruin Of young girls.
1t was then decided to esk the CO.
operation of the school board. and.
that body agreed to bear the brunt
and expense of the educational
school. The lectures will be deliver
ed to students of all ages. as we'll
as to high school pupils. the boys
and girls being segregated for that
purpose. The series of lectures will
continue for a week and probably
longer.
The board already had approved
plan for medical lectures on
youth subjects, not only in Grand
Junction but throughout the county,
but this is the first attempt to edu-
cate the youth of the city as to the
functions of sex.
This is simply practical at
tempt to instruct our children in
knowledge which they lack" said
Mr.. Smith. "My idea Is that the
children are entitled to the
knowledge of the vital subjects of
sex, physiology and sex RESPONSE
bility, and general education along
these lines in the schools over the
nation would do much. in my opin-
ion. to solve one of the most press
ing problems in America today"
The course of lectures will prob
ably begin in March.

LIGHT ON LIGHTS

The matter of street lighting has
the papers recently and as repre-
sentative of the Greeley Gas & Fuel
company, an interested party to the
proposition, | have hesitated to ad-
wise in the matter ! do not feel
that it Is proper for the Gas COM
pany to urge this matter upon the
people simply because we expect to
reap certain financial gain from it.
1t is well worth the while for any
city to take up the matter of side
street lighting, with view to get
ting efficiency first; because that is
what the city pays for every month
and tax payers pay for each year.
| There is no question well lighted
streets would be benefit to Gree
is whether the city is willing to go
to the extra expense which will be
necessary to install the most up-to-
date system of lighting. If the city
is willing to do this and the tax
payers realize that it is worth their
while then it is up to the city coun-
ell to investigate thoroughly before
anything is done.
Street lighting will be revolution
lied in the next few years if we can
believe the articles we read in the
magazines and scientific journals
Extensive experiments have beer
carried on In Europe with a view
to getting first. the best lighted
: streets, and second, to get the ex

to think this because l am interest

the city is willing to go to this ad

to be lighted, and let them light

specify how much light they want

able to get more than one figure

aouseu my way through the thickIv
standinr tree growths Is one feat
ure or the experience that was too
swift Tor recollection. Numerous
factors presented themselves which
should have done much to dispel
mental pr0uDstiuation and deyelop
decision There we're scores Of
progress proposition to decide
within few seconds; should /
dodge that tree on the left side and
duck under low limbs Just beyond,
or dodge to the right and scrape
that pix Of rocks? These, with my
speed, required instant decision and
action.
With almost uncomfortable ra-
pidity shot out into a small, near
ly level glacier meadow, and had
brief rest from swift decisions and
oncoming dangers. How relieved
my wear brain felt, with nothing
to decide about lodging, AS though
starved for thought material, I won
dered II there were willows buried
beneath the -now. Sharp pains in
my left hand compelled attention,
and showed my left arm drawn
tightly against my breast with fng-
ers and thun.b spread to the fullest,
and all ther muscles tense.
The lower edge of the meadow
was almOst blocked with dense
growth of fire killed trees. Fortu-
nately the easy slope here had so
checked my speed that l was able
to dodge safely through, but the
heavy slide swept across the mead
ow after me with undiminished
speed, and came crashing into the
dead trees so close to me that brok-
en- limh5 wcr" flung flying past as |
shot down OIL a steep moraine less
than one hundred feet ahead.
All the way down I had hoped to
find side canon into which 1 might
dodge. I was going too rapidly to
enter the one l had seen. AS I
coasted the moraine it flashed
through my mind that I had once
heard q prospector say it was only
q quarter of a mile from Aspen
Gulch up to the meadows, Aspen
Gulch came in on the right, as the
now slightly widening track seemed
to indicate.
At the bottom of the moraine
was forced between two trees thai
stood close together, and a broker
limb OF one pierced my open Goa
Just beneath the left armhole, ant
slit the coat to the bottom. M!
momentum and the resistance o
the strong material gave me such ;
shock that l was flung off my bal
ance, and my left skee SMASHED
against a tree. Two feet of tn
heel was broken of and the re
mainder split. I managed to avoi
falling but had to check my spec
with tmy staff for fear OF a wore
accident.
Battling breakers with a broke
oar or racing with a broken ske

slide did not slow down, and
1 closely did it crowd me tha
through the crashing of trees as
struck them down, could hear tn
rocks and splintered timbers in 1t
mass grinding together and thud
ding against distractions over whic
it swept. These sounds. and f1yint
broken limbs cried to me Faster!
and as I started to descend anothe

staff and "let go" 1 simply f1ashe
down the slope, lodged and rounde
