The report of the legislative investi-
eating committee on the affairs of the
soldiers home, is generally looked up
OH with favor inaSmNch as it let's all
the parties concerned down as easily
as possible. DR.. Bentley, mayor Of Hot
Springs is satisfied with the report in
a general way. He says "the people OF
Hot Springs are indicated for their
action in bringing charges against the
management of the institution"
But there is one point mentioned i'll
the report which will have to be
threshed out on the floor when the re-
port comes up for adoption this NOM
| ing. 1t is the section stating 9TH I
the expenditure OF the sum of $4,67O.4S
of the money appropriated for the re-
pairs to the sewerage was wholly un-
authorized and Illegal"
Previous to the construction OF the
present system the city Of Hot Springs
notified the board of the home, that
their sewer system was Il nuisance and
a menace to the general health OF the
place, and something would have to
be done or it would be condemned. To
construct new system for the neces-
sary distance of about u mile and a
quarter would have cost in the neigh
borhood OF $4,000. But the city made
the proposition that for considera-
ton of $4,000 the sewer OF the home
would be connected with that of the
city and kept in repair as long as the
Institution was maintained.
Attorney General Clark was con-
suited and he approved OF the plan
offered Ivy Hot Springs and at his sug-:
gestion the board accepted the city's
offer, and the deal was carried
through. Now the investigating COM
mittee says this action was "nnauthor-
lied and Illegal"
Those directly interested in the mat
ter cannot figure out why the commit
tee thought it necessary to deal with
this problem at ALL The board AMI
those about the home are satisfied and
the city is willing to live up to its
agreement The former attorney gen
eral is in the capital and he will very
likely be called upon to explain to the
legislature exactly how the deal came

SEATON RESIDENCE GOT
SCORCHED SUNDAY NIGHT
Loss Estimated at About 500, Part
Cf Which Was Covered by
Insurance

The fire alarm startled people at
early church time Sunday evening
and those nearest the scene dis
covered flames issuing from the
garret OF the T. X. Seaton home on
Dodge street near Eaton avenue.
The hose teams were on the
ground in short order and the
flames were extinguished after
burning the kitchen part and a por-
ton OF the roof, along with sundry
stored bedding and family goods.
Mr.. Seaton, who likes to fish and
hunt, had an elaborate equipment OF
rods, fishing tackle and guns, all of
which were burned. Certain family
portraits which cannot be replaced,
were also destroyed.
The loss is estimated by Mr.. Sea-
ton at from 5000 to 500.
Mrs. Seaton had a short time
before, left home for church and was
singing in the choir when the alarm
sounded
The saving of the building or
any part OF it was considered for
tunate. as it was of frame and the
fire had a good start before discov-
cred. Mr.. Seaton has no idea as
10 how the FIRE started.

concessions were verbally made from

Editor Pays Compliment to
Delta Womans' Club Rapouet

The following is from the pen OF
the faoma Booster man, alter at
tending the Western Slope Develop
ment Congress:
he editor decided last Thurs
day morning that he would go to
Delta and take in a part of the
western slope Development Con-
sress in session there, so he put on
clean collar, brushed up his old
coat and boarded the vanished
cars. Now it might be well to ex-
plain that the editor has never at
tended many social functions in
Delta, and therefore when he dis
covered that banquet was on the
program for one O'Clock he might
reasonably be pardoned for couclud-
ing that it would be like some other
banquets he remembered of attend
ing. At any rate he concluded that
discretion was the better part of
valor, and when the noon hour came
he promptly betook himself to a
hotel and did ample justice to the
half cold unpalatable meal placed
before him. Having little busi-
ness to transact about town and
not being particularly anxious about
the banquet except the after
dinner program. it was late when
he entered the Odd Fellows Hall
where the banquet was in progress
Imagine his surprise and chargin
to find some two hundred banQueters

OF course he told us this confidenti-
ally and added as an afterthought
that if ever he heard of another
banquet being served by the Wo-
mans Club of Delta he would fast

Prof. Condit Writes About
Boys Potato Growing Contest.

Delta, Colo, April 4th, 1911.
Editor Independent:
Observation has taught me that
no one has the public good more at
heart than the editors of our
loca' papers. Hence l write to ask
if you will help US to interest the
boys and their parents in the pro-
posed potato growing contest that
Mr.. Angel, county secretary of the
". NJ. c. A. is planning TO bring off.
Mr.. Angel won national recogni-
tion in a boys corn contest last year
in Michigan. He is managing this
contest according to the same plan
as the Michigan contest, making only
such changes as his experience sug-
igests should be made. The state
Agricultural College is cooperating
with him.
Full particulars of the contest
can be had of Mr.. Angel or of MIR.
Porter of the PorterObert hardware
store or of myself.
Nothing does a boy more good than
to feel individual responsibility. In
this contest he selects his seed. pre-
pares his own soil, irrigates and
his own crops and owns
what he raises. Thus his sense of
ownership is cultivated and the good
that comes from responsibility will
his manly spirit.
My own boyhood experiences have
taught me that a boy is made better
by being permitted to own and con-
troll some property as his to manage
as he thinks best.
Very Respectfully,
PHILIP NJ. CONDIT.

The Ntonat Tunnel.

at first was an ardent supporter of
the proposition to bond the state

base when II was rumored that the
ID. r. G. was likely to absorb
the Moffat road.

a general way, it exposes, If any ex-
position was needed. the clumsy
selfishness of Denver and Denver

No one blames them for this.

Denver has the Rio Grande. and
while it may owe its own great
ness largely to that pioneer road,
II wasn't what IL expected when il
said: Bond the State and build

MESA RESORT FISHING
INTERESTS LOOMING UP
Agreement Signed to Throw Open
Several of the Lakes for
Public Fishing.

Important meetings We're held
this week which are likely to make
favorable BIZ of news for all in
terested in fishing in the Grand mesa
lakes.
Judge Beaman, president of the
Grand Mesa Lake and Park Com
pany. was up from Denver and
spent several days in conference
with the Grand Mesa Resort Com
pany and the officers of the Sur
face Creek Ditch and Reservoir com
pany.
The result, we understand, was
the signing of an agreement TO
throw open to public fishing, half
a dozen of the lakes, while the bal
ance should be held for propaga-
ton. This agreement was subject to
the approval of certain other inter
ested parties, which it is believed
it will obtain. Publication of the
complete details, however, has not
been authorized until such approval
has been submitted and the signed
contract in this city are ratified.
The Grand Mesa Lake and Park
company claim title to the fishing
rights of the lakes, but the Resort
company owns 100 acres Of land
whose boundaries extend into Ger
tain of the lakes. and this has been
largely instrumental in bringing
about the favorable coud tions which
the contracts will insure.
On its part the Resort company
made the proposition to extend its
rights to the public for fishing If the
Lake and Park company would show
equal liberality, and this was virtu-
ally agreed to and instruments
drawn up to that effect, as stated
Such an arrangement can but
meet hearty welcome from all
those interested in visiting the
Grand mesa lakes for fishing out
ings. and it is cordially hoped that
no further hitch will occur. Such
move should interest the people
enough to secure better protection
to the fish in the lakes than they
have heretofore had
