Fort Collins, Nov. 11.-That the
present controversy between the res
eryoir owners of the Poudre valley
and the ditch owners of the Platte
valley can be settled to the mutual
advantage of all parties concerned
is the belief of the members of the
commission appointed at the mass
meeting recently held in this city.
The commission has instructed It's
secretary to open negotiations with
the Platte valley farmers for con-
ference between representatives OF
the interests involved.
If the Platte valley people meet
the overtures favorably representa-
tiyes of the various reservoir sys-
tens involved here will be appoint
ed to confer with n committee from
the Platte valley farmers.
Each district in the controversy
has interests identical with the
other in so far as the use of the
water supply for producing a crop
is concerned, and 1t is the belief of
many here that after the situation
has been carefully discussed by each
side an agreement can be made
whereby the question will be settled
and neither side be the loser.
1t is believed that at the confer
ence proposed it will be suggested
that two water commissions be
created, one each to represent the
two districts. These two commits
sions will sit together, forming one
big commission. and will define un-
official storage and irrigation sea
sons. To this commission will be
submitted all controversies that may
arise between the water users OF
the two districts and their decisions
The Greeley tribune., 1911-11-16
COMMISSION MAY COMPROMISE
FIGHT over WATER RIGHTS

will rule the use of the water sup
ply.
1t is argued that by getting to-
gether in this manner the supply of
water at present in dispute can be
made to answer the needs of both
districts. 1t is believed that after
the situation has been carefully dis
cussed by the water users themsel-
yes an agreement can be reached
whereby the irrigation bitches of
the Platte valley will take the water
for specified number of days and
then they will cease irrigating and
allow g reservoirs to store for a
specified period.
If the representatives from the
two districts will cease litigation
over the matter and calmly discuss
the needs of each district more can
be accomplished and without doubt
the question can be settled for all
time and in manner which will
result in the mutual benefit of all
parties Interested.
Representatives were in attend
ance at the meeting yesterday from
Boulder. Longmont. Loveland and
Fort Collins. The following mon
form the commission repre- entin"
the reservoir interests of the Poudrn
valley:
Boulder-J. P. Maxwell, Frank
Tyler, Fred A. Fair,
Longmont-A. D. Holt, w. II.

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
Will GET CHOICE SELECTIONS

Have you kept that vow you made
last year about nine days before
New Years, when you were being
crowded, jostled and stepped on in
the stores?
You We're finishing your Christ
mas shopping under the usual diff
hculties which beset one who waits
until the last week. The vow is one
often made and was something like
this:
Next year | will begin getting
my Christmas gifts shortly after
the Fourth and by Thanksgiving
the packages will all be tied and
everything in readiness. For the
hrst time in my life the holiday sea-
son will be what it should be, full
OF happiness and contentment, peace
and good will and the genuine
Christmas spirit will not be marred
by the hustle, work and worry of
crowding months shopping and
sewing into week or ten days"
The sharp, cold weather of the
last week has brought thoughts OF
Christmas and it was remarked
that even to begin now, one could
only get middling early start at
Christmas shopping
Now is the time and Greeley is
the place to buy.
Never was there time when the
windows showed so many comfort
able, sensible and satisfactory sug-
sestions for Christmas gifts. The
merchants have anticipated early
shopping and while the special dis,
plays of Christmas toys ar not yet
shown, the stores are being gaily

county Is called to account for draw
ing for himself 5000 clerks salary
in report just prepared by State
Examiner H. J. Leddy.
The county commissioners allowed
$500 per year clerks salary IN the
office Of the treasurer. 1t Is stated
in the examiners report chat the
treasurer, in 1909. retained the 5000
and in 1910 retained 1885, which is
stated to be violation of the law
in view of recent opinion handed
down by the attorney general, IN
which it Is held that county treas
urer cannot appoint himself his own
deputy. The disbursement. there
fore. says Leddy, is Illegal and the
treasurer will be called upon 20 re-
turn the salary so drawn.
The county assessor, J. II. Lynton,
is reported to have drawn $1,1Oo
salary for 1910, whereas his maxi
mum salary is $1,000. The district
court clerk. according to the same
report, owes the county $133.Sb. and

there is the beautiful hand painted
china and cut glass which always
makes choice gifts.
There is a handsome line of Flor
entine brass shown this year, en-
tirely new to Greeley, which makes
elegant gifts. In the display is
found almost everything from pin
trays and desk novelties to smoking
sets, candle sticks and fern dishes.
The book stores are the mecca for
those who wish pretty, inexpensive
gifts for there never was shown such
artistic and exquisite cards, calen-
dars, pictures and books as this sea-
son and never were they so reason
ably priced. In these stores suitable
gifts can be found for any friend on
the list. Classics in beautifully
bound gift books are found, tiny
leather booklets in different series
and the dainty parchment books
One of the novelties this year is
books with soft Ooze calf leather
bindings.
Every store is full of pleasing
suggestions, so why not keep that
vow you have made for so many
years and shop early?

OC|LVY DEPL0RES STOPPING
EXTENSION WORK AT ACCIE

Lord Ogilvy in Denver Post)
1t is a pity if the state of Colo
RADIO had not got enough money to
run herself, and especially if such
useful and productive work as the
extension farm work of the Agricul-
tural college must be discontinued.
So far as immediate results are
concerned, the extension work by
such men as Fitch, Vaplon and Hin
man is more Immediately productive
of results than the education of
young men at the college, important
as that work is to the future devel-
opment of the state.
1t is not too much to say that
such work as George Weldon has
done with the fruit experiments at
Grand Junction have been worth one
hundred times his salary.
Humans work in pushing the
\construction of silos and activel.
supervising their design and erec
tion has put dairyfng on new leve
| in Colorado, especially as to winter
production, when prices are best.
Vaplon's work has been to show
not only how to grow eggs and
chickens, but how to do SO economi-
cally so that the produce shall en-
able people of ordinary means tc
L live better and more healthfully. In
fact, | have never seen a poultry
man who stuck so fast to the practi-

much consideration to the matter
where the time for attendance was
/ limited and results must be achiev-
ed whilst other business is being
! carried on.
| Prof c. L. Fitch has had the
hardest problem of all to tackle in
the potato field, and over such a
wide area that only by enlisting the
cooperation of farmers was it pos
sible to get the results desired. That
( the Sweets at Carbondale, CHS
holm at Del Norte, and many others
have been glad to cooperate with
him shows how much this work is
needed and it's value to the state.
We are now in bad shape in re-
gard to our potato crop, and though
the adverse results of last year are

Robbery in Few Days

Eaton, Nov. 11-Are the sugar
factories being haunted by thug?
Following closely on the theft OF
purse containing sS7, a $50 check
and valuable mining stock at Wind

Dukes, when he was struck on the
head and left unconscious alIer be-
ing robbed in the pit at the factory

man slipped up on him in the dark
ness and struck him two blows, one
on the Jaw and again on the fore
head, rendering him unconscious.
He was robbed Of all the money he
carried. which was only 81. The man

no doubt largely due to climatic
conditions, at the same time it is
evident that as our soils become
older we must be more careful of
our methods.
First, however, we must deter
mine what methods are necessary,
and this can only be done by obser-
walton over wide field, with grow
ers conducting experiments that
shall contribute to the knowledge
as a whole for the state.
Selection of seed is very difficult
where it is done by a farmer here
and there on soils of various quality
and under several systems of man
agement, and it is much cheaper to
list our varieties of potatoes under
uniform conditions, after which they
may be used to produce the COM
mercial crop.
Prof. Fitch has already taught us
how the degeneration of potatoes
under ordinary field conditions is
assured and the Sweets special seed
growing experiments at Carbondale
point to the same conclusion.

pay for such work is mere baga-
