TION SERVICE
IS A WRITER ON IRRIGATION
Tour of the West Being Made in
the Interests OF the National
Irrigation Congress Which
Meets at Chicago in
December

Chicago, July 5.-Mrs. Louella
Blanchard, statistician of the Unit
ed States reclamation service, has
just passed through Chicago on her
way from Washington to the north
west, where she will visit the vari-
Gus reclamation projects of the
government. Her tour will take
her to the Pacific coast.
Mrs. Littlepage is writer OF
wide acquaintance and she discusses
the economic Importance OF lrr1ga-
tion development with authority.
The chief purpose of her trip is to
gather data from settlers on the
government farms for magazines
and other articles. She also lect-
ures frequently, especially to wom-
ems organizations and the "eXperl-
ences' she will gather from the set
tiers no doubt will provide new and
interesting subjects Tor this work.
Mrs. Littlepage is familiar with
the work of the national irrigation
congress, which meets here in De-
cember, and while in Chicago she
called on Edmund 7. Perkins, man
aging director of the board OF con-
troll of the congress, to discuss with
him the probable effect of the forth
coming gathering of irrigationists
here. She declared the meeting,
taking place in Chicago, which has
become such a center of supply for
irrigation development, should be
the greatest congress in the history
of the organization.

Texas had her plans interrupted by
the police yesterday afternoon. Her

SCHOOL IDEA
NOT POPULAR

Ault, July 3.-The question of
the proposed consolidated high
school to be built in Pierce was
voted on here Saturday and the
proposition was showed under deep.
The districts affected were the
Olive Branch, Collins ann Harrison
country districts against the Pierce
district on the other side while the
question was the erection of a union
high school, with the site In Pierce.
or course the Pierce people were
anxious to have the measure carried
and an auto load of boosters went
all over the country with the In
tentions of winning more followers
but as they approached the Olive
Branch district the school children
lined up in front of the building
each one with placard reading
We don't want to go to Pierce, ,
NO High School in Pierce for Us"
and so forth. Every school met the
boosters with similar demonstra-
tion SO they went back to Pierce
without alighting from the auto.
The people are pleased with the
present school plans and did not
want the union school and as a re-
suit feeling ran high about election
time,

ELECTION
AT KERSEY
IS SPIRITED
SCHOL DISTRICT is VOTING ON
DEBT CERTIFICATES
ABOUT $500 MORE is NEEDED
First of Weld County Schools to
Remedy the Matter of short
Finances for Necessary
Expenses of the
School

Kersey, July 3.-A special school
election is being held in kersey to-
day to determine whether school
district No. 9S shall issue certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness sufficient TO
continue the high school the COM
ing year.
The town is considerably worked
up over the matter and voting is
spirited. The outcome is in doubt.
Some time ago the county treas
urer, w. r. Patterson, backed by a
supreme court decision, refused to
register or recognize excess war
rants from a number of school DIS
tricts whose finances are in bad
shane Ii has been decided, how
ever, that such districts may issue
certificates OF Indebtedness to run
two ears or thereabouts, until their
finances shall have been put on a
better basis. This puts the districts
with short purses up against 1t as
| ii were to get money TO run on.
Kersev is the first of those affected
to take the matter up formally, ana
today's election is the result. me
outcome will be awaited with inter-
est by other schools who may have
/ TO do likewise or close. Only tax
pavers may vote, and nearly every
legal voter will register his wishes
here before night. The amount
necessary to raise in kersey is about
$500

ton for the Fourth of July was
one of the best this place ever had.

.REA0 AGAIN
is IN TROUBLE

Fort Collins, July 5.-For the
second time a visit TO Fort collins
has proven disastrous for one Pete
Reao, Mexican, and erstwhlle resi-
dent of Eaton. This morning Pete
was taking it easy in shady spot
when Deputy Sheriff Halligan chan
ced upon him and at once escorted
him to the county Jail. Pete is held
as a suspect, he having disposed or
a revolver at LEGAL second hand
store which bears strong resem-
blance to a weapon taken from the
Eaton depot about week ago when
that building was burslarized.
Reao's former visit to Fort COL
lins was in the nature of honey
moon, he having eloped with ID
year-old girl He WAS here arrested
on the complaint OF the child par
ents and was returned 10 Weld
county, but as both Reao and his
childbride We're willing the parental
objection was removed and the
marriage was allowed to stand, al
ter being solemnized by the Catholic
priest of Greeley.
