La Junta tribune., 1911-06-03
After Rhoady kenehan.

Last Friday the Arkansas Valley
Commercial Association and the Ar.
kansas Valley Editorial Association
held joint session In Rocky Ford,
Various matters of vital Importance
to the present and future well being
OF the greatest valley ON earth were
discussed. but the most important
was the action Of our state treasur.
er In holding up the appropriation of
$4,000 made by the last legislature,
to defend the Colorado interests in
the Kansas Colorado ditch suits, on
the ground that the appropriation was
In the fifth class and would not be
available, Every pressure is TO be
brought to bear from commercial as
sociations and individuals to make
this fund Immediately available, as
this suit is one OF vital Importance
to the water rights Of the Arkan-
sas Valley.
The Kansas complainant in the
suit now pending In the circuit court
OF the United States seeks a decree
adjudging ii to be entitled TO a prior
right over all bitches post dating
1884 to $50 cubic feet OF water per
second of time. $50 feet on account
OF an alleged appropriation by the
Great Eastern Canal. 100 feet on ac-
count of an alleged appropriation by
the South Side ditch, both of said
bitches being located in Western
Kansas, AS practical proposition
the success OF the complainant will
mean that at all seasons OF the nor
nal flOw OF the Arkansas river no
water can be diverted in Colorado
and that only In flood times can the

Laying aside the disastrous ef-
feet of such a decree upon the Ar
kansas Valley, the whole state would
be to some extent affected, as II
would amount to the wiping out of
millions OF dollars worth OF proper
~ values.
The resolution adopted by the
meeting OF the Arkansas Valley Com
Rocky Ford last Friday is as fol
lows:
Whereas. the suit brought by the
Kansas bitches against the bitches Of

lief We must defend 1t at an expense

Beautiful Beads.

Such beadwork as the buyers have
brought back with them from the
other side has never before been seen
on trimming counters, according to the
New York Sun. The beads include
many metallic effects with all the rich,
deep colors Of the American Indians
and the Characteristic combinations of
Roumania and Bulgaria, but they also
come in the daintiest and loveliest
evening blends, that remind one Of the
tints of rare paintings. There are filet
grounds studded with gold and silver
beads and with pearls. In fact, in the
gold and silver bands and jeweled eff
fects the variety is wonderful. And
the tunics and waist garnishments are
here in the same wide choice Of beau
tiful bead and jewel combinations,
often with gold and silver cloth EN-
broidered with beads and tins.l.

Bar Unbidden Guests From Naval Ball

ID ECENT agitation over the new re-
~ strictions placed upon midshipmen
at the naval academy in the matter of
guests at academy dances has brought
forth from officials of the navy de-
partment remarkable statement. 1t
was disclosed that heretofore the
doors of the naval academy have been
pened wide on the evenings of
dances, and all presenting themselves
at the doors dressed as for dance
have been admitted without question.
Several embarrassi situations
have developed from time to time
involving midshipmen in serious
trouble. Henceforth, it is stated, the
academy officials will require that no
person be admitted without presenting
a card of invitation, and the names of
all persons to whom such cards are
issued are to be listed.
"The invitations to balls and hops at
the naval academy" says the state
ment, have been either source of
misunderstanding or a cause for at
tempting to stir up class prejudice.
Few fathers and mothers with sons
at the naval academy but would de-

M ASHINGTON.-In the United
w States there are in all about
100000 miles of roads of one kind
or another-enough to reach around
the earth 100 times. Much of this,
however, is of a character not wor-
thy of the name road. Some of it is
little better than rock pile, and 9TH
ers are wide tracks through bitches
and swamps. OF the whole only seven
miles in each hundred can be said to
have any improvements whatever, and
on the most of it the Improvements
are such as to be unworthy of note.
Altogether not two per cent. can be
called first class. With the proper i'm
provement of this network of roads
will come a saving that will richly
repay the nation.
The roads in the United States may
not be the very worst in the world,
but they are bad enough as whole,
that is certain, compared with those in
other civilized countries. Europe is a
network of magnificent highways. In
Germany, France and England one can
ride for miles without striking a stone
or a puddle. This does not add to
pleasure alone. 1t is the means Of

Government Busy Cleaning Out Opium

G LOWLY the federal arm is sweeping
~ in the opium fiends. The recent
raid here by internal revenue agents,
when $4,000 worth Of the drug, pre-
pared for smoking, was contiscated
and the distributing organization for
the District of Columbia broken up,
was one of series of big hauls in the
larger cities of the country in recent
months, as a result of which several
hundred thousand dollars worth of
the drug is now in government pos
session.
In the last five months just such
hauls, many larger and more impor-
tant, have been made by means of
which agents have in many cases been
able to trace the drug to the Illicit
manufacturers, thus dealing the most
serious blow of all. In Terre Haute,
Ind, where the richest haul of all was
made, nearly 100000 worth of the
drug was found when the inspectors
raided a small river shack where the
crude opium was being prepared for
distribution to smokers throughout the
middle west

r HE greatest gun ever built will be-
come part of the coast defense at
the Pacific end Of the Panama canal.
The giant weapon is now at Sandy
Hook, N. J., but according to orders
received from the war department it
will soon start on the most remark
able journey ever taken by weapon
of it's size 1t weighs $50 tons, is so
feet in length, with 16-inch caliber
and power to throw 2,400-pound pro-
ject:le a distance of 90 miles. The
gun is being moved because war au-
thorities believe New York is in less
danger of being attacked than the
west end of the Panama canal. There
no ship that pokes its nose above the
horizon will be safe against the mon
ster gun for with single well-direct-
ed shot it could send to the bottom the
largest war craft the world knows to-
day.

FINDS ALL KINDS OF LINEN
Woman Astonished at Size and Vari-
ETY. Of Wardrobe Of That One
Material.

A woman who Is always smartly
gowned recently resolved to have
frocks OF all the kinds of linen there
are, for her winter sojourn' at Mas
sau. each frock to be trimmed with
the lace or handwork of the country
from which the linen came. Until she
began her unique collection she had
no idea Of the great variety of linens
to be bought or how much ingenuity
It would take to carry out her idea.
Her list, with accompanying orna-
mentation, shows how large and var
led wardrobe may be developed
from one single kind Of material.
On sheer handkerchief linen Of
Irish weaving baby Irish crochet was
used in profusoin, and with a natu-
raj color butchers linen of English
make, broderie Anglaise or eyelet en-
broidery appeared. With an oyster
white Flemish hand loom linen some
heavy Flanders lace in Van Dyke
point was inset, and on unbleached
hand loom Holland linen was embroi
derry in Delft blue linen thread. India
null from the Orient showed exquisite
hand embroidery, as did the diaph-
anous linens of China and Japan and
those from the Philippines.
Java and Madeira sent hand drawn
work and embroidery combined. Mex
ican work appeared on an elaborate
morning dress of medium weight lin
en-, and on the coat of Russian
crash walking costume were cuffs and
q collar of Russian lace. Bulgarian
linen, brightly embroidered, was made
up into a smart little bridge dress,
and charming dinner dress for club
wear was of italian linen with Cluny
of great beauty and lavishly inset.
There was also a frock with the
wonders of Swiss hand work on very
fine sheer linen, and another of hand
spun German linen. with insertings Of
old Mechlin in the bodice and much
hemstitching in connection with en-
broidered dots. From Norway came
frock Of medium weight linen with
cutwork of intricate effect, and from
Spain very coarse open linen can
vas inset with lace crocheted by the
peasants of the hills.
Each dress Is absolutely different
from the others, and the planning has
given many interesting hours to the
woman who will wear them.

Mammoth Guns to Guard Panama Canal

Although the Notifications for the
canal have already been fully planned,
the details regarding them are kept
secret. All that is known is that the
two ends of the ditch will be defended
by seven forts in all, three at the At
lantic end and four at the Pacific open
ing. These works will constitute two
systems of forts-the four at the Pa
cific end operating together, and like
wise the three at the Atlantic end.
The Notifications will all be under
ground. hostile feet approaching
from the ocean will see nothing but
a slope of grassy greensward, whether
on the islands or on the mainland
There will be nothing visible to shoot
at, for the great guns will be hidden
in concrete lined pits, from which
they are uplifted momentarily by their
disappearing carriages to deliver their
fire.
The locks of the canal necessarily
are vital points. and these will be de-
Tended by field fortifications"-tha
is to say, well constructed earthworhs,
with six-inch howitzers, three-inch
field guns. etc. These works are in
tended, of course, for defense against
possible attack by land force.

WHY DO MAlNsPRINGs BREAk7
Despite Best Of Care Little Strips of
Steel Sometimes Snap Into
Many Pieces.

who wrote the letters of Junius ?"
who was the man with the iron
mask?" Why do watch mainsprings
break? The best mainsprings break,
and they will break until the watch
makers discover some secret of ma
ture which is as yet unrevealed to
them. They know that a sudden cleo
trical disturbance of the atmosphere.
extreme changes of temperature, or
contact with a cold substance will oc-
casionally result in broken main
spring. But they do not understand
why spring sometimes snaps in
twain or in twenty pieces despite the
best of care. The spring is a piece
of tempered steel. usually about TWEEN
ty inches long. coiled in a barrel be-
tween the upper and lower plates of
the movement. 1t is the motive pow
er of the watch. 1t is made in de-
grees of strengths, widths. and thick
nesses suitable to the watch. AS 1t is
subjected to varying conditions from
highest tension when fully wound to
comparative rest when the watch is
run down, and as 1t is constantly I'M
dergoing a change in resistance as its
coils unfold. it seems to be the only
part of the watch subject to casualties
against which even careful use can
not always provide.
One of the largest manufacturers
of watches in the world states that a
sudden spell of hot weather is invari-
ably succeeded by a noticeable in
crease in the number of complaints OF
broken watch springs. At first thought
this information is puzzling. A sud
den drop rather than sudden rise in
temperature would seem to be the nat
ural cause. Cast metals show great
er brittleness at low temperatures un
der all kinds of stress. And steel and
iron show a marked loss under i'm
pact or sudden stress
1t may be easy to understand the
breakage of handspring when in ex
ceedingly warm weather the watch |!
removed from a superheated poke
and laid suddenly on a cold marble OF
iron slab. But the sudden breakins
of the spring while the watch runs un
disturbed in the pocket is a fact ant
mystery.

squaws and papooses are face to face
with the worst famine they have ever
experienced with the knowledge OF
the white man.
Already there is suffering on the
reservation and when winter arrives
unless something is done for their re-
lief, there will be many deaths from
starvation among the tribes.
For the past two years the Indians
have been employed by the govern
ment OH ditch work on the reserva.
ton and have been able to subsist on
what they earned. The expenditure
for this ditch work aggregated about
$3.50 900. The irrigation system is for
the Indians, but so far they have
raised no crops.
Recently work on the bitches ceased
and the Shroshones and Arapahoes,
who spent the money as fast or faster
than they earned It, are left wholly
without resources.
