To the many who are inquiring

enterprise near Cedar in San Miguel
county, Colorado. l will say that
have finished the survey of two res
ervoirs this summer, one OF which will
contain ten thousand, seven hundred
acres of water one foot deep with
dam requiring fifty-six cubic yards of
dirt to the acre foot of water. The
other one will store about ten thous-
and acre feet with less quantity OF
dirt in the dam. There is plenty OF
dirt available for building the dams at
small cost and the reservoirs are
ideal for holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley of thirty
thousand acres or more, by means OF
about eight miles of ditch to the up
per part of the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs 10

the most famous band 10 France mum
bers seventy musicians
The United States has always held
a high place in the world OF band
music. thanks not only 10 our great
governmental bands. such as the noted
United States Marine band-the
Presidents own which plays at the
White House-but also 10 the famous
private bands. such as those Of Sousa

One OF the Jokes Of American his
tory is that the first band which Is
mentioned as being aboard an Ameri-
can warship was deliberately stolen
by the commander Of the vessel who.
it seems was mighty fond OF band
music. This was more than a century
ago. The offcer who boldly kidnapped
full-nedged band was Capt Daniel

corvette Boston. carrying twenty eight
guns. The Boston had put into an
Italian port for a brief stay. and
band attached to one OF the regiments
stationed at that port came aboard to
give a concert The Yankee captain
was so fascinated with the music that
he forthwith tripped anchor. made ali
sail and escaped TO sea with the pro
testing musicians. OF course there
was a big howl over the episode, and
the government OF the United States
had to hasten to disclaim all responsi
bility and send the musicians back
home The first real worth while band
In the American navy was likewise
captured. but the intrepid Decatur
came into possession OF this band
through the capture of British war
ship and then induced the British mu-
sicians TO enlist In his service. When
this band reached New York and
marched through the streets at the
head of a procession of Yankee blue
jackets # created sensation
The greatest latitude has always
been allowed in the matter OF the
uniforms worn by bandmen. Except
in the United States army and navy.
there are no rules or restrictions gov
erning the sort Of costumes the musi-
clans shall wear when on parade, and
our private bands have taken advan-
tnge of this license to bedeck them
selves in gorgeous attire.
Perhaps the handsomest and showi.
est of all band uniforms is that worn
on state occasions at the White House
by the Marine band. 1t consists OF
light blue trousers and brilliant red
coat. literally emhellished with black
braid The mounted bands OF the
United States cavalry are novelty
and never fail to arouse wonder that
they can give as good music as they
do, considering that each member.
even to the drummer, is mounted on
prancing steed. In all bands the
drum major is the most gaudily sarbed
member OF that organization. and
wears a hat designed to make him ap'
