MERGER Of
GRAND MESA
RESERVOIRS
To Discuss Combination of All Grand
Mesa Reservoirs at Meeting jan
aury 25.-State Engineer to
be Present TO Advise

A movement is on foot to combine
and unity all the reservoirs on the
Grand Mesa as supplied with water
from that watershed. Such a plan
it is claimed would enable the own
ers of water to get taken care of and
distributed at less than half the eN-
pense, and at the same time enhance
the value of the stock In order TO
get the matter before the owners or
stockholders in the various reser-
volrs a mass meeting win be held at
Eckert on Jan. 25th next, at which
time State Engineer Chas, W. Com
stock vii be present and present the
same plan which is now being con-
sidered by various counties in the
northern part of the state.
The Surface Creek Ditch and Res
ervuir company has already appointed
committee of. three. composed Of
John Shelledy, Roy A. Downs and
Judge VI. r. WEIGH to act for the COM
pany.
Also a committee named by this
company, Harry Bull. T. j. Harsh
man and II. c. Getty. to act with
like committees in the organization
of a resort company to take over the
Grand Mesa lakes fishing privileges
as outlined in the Delta Tribune some
three weeks ago.
Should the various reservoir pro-
jects on Grand Mesa vote to combine
under one merger it would make
the concern one of the wealthiest ir-
rigation projects in Colorado, control
ling the distribution of over one bill
ion cubic feet of water annually.

ennunciated by the strenuous one.
Postmaster Dalton has thus far
failed to receive any expression of
opinion from the assembled multi
tude in La Junta as to whether or
not they approve of the Sunday clos
ing Of the postoffice. All he has to
do to make II effective Is to notify
the department that the people of
La Junta want the postoffice closed
on Sunday, and he will receive an
order from Washington bringing
about the new conditions at once.
Last Sunday MIR. Dalton kept tab on
the number Of calls for mail at
the general delivery window. There
were lis calls for mail and las pieo1l
OF all classes OF mail delivered TOY

numter OF calls at the carriers win

master left the decision with the
people who attended church last Sun
day. A poll Of the congregations OF
each one OF the churches was made
last Sunday and the people who AT
tend church went on record for the
closing OF the postoffice. The Tri-
bune respectfully suggests that this
method be adopted in the churches OF
La Junta tomorrow. as Postmaster
Dalton would like to know what the
people Of La Junta think about the
matter Of Sunday closing. II they
want the postoffice open on Sunday
as 1t has been in the past. well and
