Reservoir is Filling Very Rapidly
MONDAY, FEBRUARY l3, 1911.


The deposits of ice which have caus-
ed some trouble in the intake ditch to
the Julesburg reservoir have been en-
tirely removed. The ditch is now ab-
solutely clear of ice and the entire flow
of the river is entering the intake.
Two automobile loads of Julesburg
citizens who visited the intake today
report that there is thirty inches of
water going over the boards at a ve-
ky of three feet per second. The
width of the stream is 40 feet, making
a total flow of 800 feet per second.
Mr.. E. ]. Frederick, president of
Board of Directors of the Julesburg
Irrigation District confirms the above
report and that there is stream
of about fifty cubic feet in the South
Platte river to the south of the intake
which will be caught and turned into
the intake Tuesday. The South Platte
river is also entirely free from ice and
the filling of the reservoir should con-
tinue at rapid rate from this date.
Wednesday, February Is, 1911.
Teams were put to work at the head
gate of the inlet canal to the Jules
burg Reservoir and an extra fifty feet
of water has been turned into the ditch.
No difficulty with ice has been en-

Chicagoans Well Posted on Colorado

1t is amazing to know how much the
people of Chicago know of Colorado.
The state in general has been well ad-
vertised the past year and most of the
eastern people know in round figures
how much fruit the state produced and
are well posted on the sugar beet and
alfalfa yield, also on grain of all kinds.
Agriculture seems to be the cry all
over and the people of the east are
more interested in the achievements
we have made with the soil than they
were with what we dug out in the
earlier days; that is, the desire for in
formation and the interest is more
general, and is shown by the greater
number of people. The movement of
settlers to Colorado this summer should
be tremendous. All those people back
there want a home and they entertain
glowing pictures of the chances to Sc
cure fine living and be a land owner
in Colorado. The advertising that has
been done by our commercial organiza-
tions throughout the state has been
farreaching beyond doubt. One
does not realize the value of it until he
gets away from home.
Julesburg and Sedgwick County are
preparing for the opening of spring
and the coming of the land seekers who

months old daughter og Mr.. and Mrs.
M. Ferguson, of this city, died of
pneumonia at O'Clock last Sunday

in such a critial condition. All that

proved of no avail. The funeral was

Monday morning anC the little one was
laid to rest in the Reservation cemetery

Grim Reaper Gathers His
Own

Mr.. William d. Smyth died at his
home seven miles south of Julesburg
last Thursday night at about midnight.
he was afflicted with cancer of the
stomach. Mr.. Smyth was an old pio-
neers of this county, living here about
twenty years.
Mr.. Smith was born August 25, 1S49
in Montgomery County, Illinois. About
the year 1872 he moved to Nebras-
ka with his father and mother and re-
sided there until the year of 1884 when
he was united in marriage to Miss
Katherine Barth. In 1892 in company
with his family he moved to this coun-
ty and located on homestead which
is his present home.
Mr.. Smyth leaves wife and two
children, Edgar and Margery to mourn
his death.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Waller of the Methodist
church at the home place. 1nterment
was in the south side cemetery.
The bereaved ones have:".the heartfelt
sympathy of the whole county.

Holding Large Corporations at Bay

As the result Of a recent litigation
brought by the Great Lakes Dredge
& Dock Co., to gain possession of the
valuable tract of land on the banks of
the Calumet river at the corner of
Ninety-second street in the suburbs of
Chicago, there was brought to light
the startling fact that they were being
held at bay by dead man and this
same dead man had also stopped fur
ther enroachment on his graveyard by
the giant steel corporations The Hin
ois and the lroguois.
The man is-or was-Andres Zirn-
gibil. For SIS years his bones have re-
posed in this little plot of six acres and
at the same time he has, through the
provisions in his will, pre-
vented the great industries that hem
med it on every side from breaking
over the wall that preserves the sacred
ness of his past.

Orozoco Forces Meets Federal Foes

Ell Paso, Texas General Orozoco's
revolutionary forces have engaged the
advance guard of General Navarro's
federal reinforcements, about 80 miles
south of Juarez, according to bridge
workmen of the Mexican National rail
way, who returned from Samalayuca
at II O'Clock this morning.
The workmen were sent out to re-
pair damage to the railway done by the
revolutionists. They returned to re-
port that Orozoco's outposts had turn

At present there is not the slightest
prospect that his determination to hold
after death what was his own in life
after death can be overcome. The bat
tie has been fought in all the courts
and at last supreme court division
has settled the matter for all time.
Through the loss of certain papers in
the great fire of 1871 and some mighty
legal technicalities involved in the will,
the big forces that have been trying to
oust him out of his grave for years are
now at standstill. Although they
may have been able to throttle small
business competitors by the score
and have fortified themselves in their
own citadels impregnably, they have
now been put to ignominious rout by
the mouldering remains of Andres
Zrngibil.
