Great Western Sugar Co., Build
ing Reservoir

300 teams are now at work on Pre-
witt reservoir dam and eco more will
be put to work in a short time. The
contractors, Fitzpatrick Brothers, are
rushing the work to complete it in 80
days, according to contract.
After the earth work is completed
it will be allowed to settle throughly be-
fore the concrete reinforcing is done.
The dam will be constructed in the very
best manner throughout. The Sugar
Company does nothing by halves and
this work will, like everything else it
has done, be just right.
The reservoir is three miles from
Merino and is surrounded on three sides
by a natural basin, the dam forming
the north side.
The intake ditch will be the largest on
the Platte and will have capacity of
695 second feet of water. This will en-
able the reservoir to be filled very
quickly during flood seasons.
The Company at first filed on 5000
acre feet of water, but have increased
this to 80, 500 feet. Water will be sold
to the farmers under the reservoir
probably at much less price per acre,
than Ills sold under the ordinary dis
trict ]lan.-Sterling Enterprise,

Negligence a Crime

Colorado Springs, Sept. 6-Far-
mers of the United States needlessly
threw away 1886, 600 bushels of winter
wheat this year, not to mention an
enormous loss in other farm products,
simply because they failed to prepair
against drouth by taking steps to keep
moisture in the soil. This is the
declaration of Secretary John T. Bnrns
of the International Dry Farming Con-
gress, who is now preparing to conduct
the Sixth Congress, which meets in
this city next October.
Mr.. Burns had just read the report
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture for August, showing that
loss under the 1911 crop. Before him
lay sheaf of wheat raised by ]. M.
Bradshow cf Peyton, Colo., who has
Just threshed an average of 20 bushels
per acre from 100 acres, patches in
which ran as high as 81 bushels. Or
the Bradshaw land only four inches Of
moisture fell from the time this wheat
was planted, September 2. to the day
it was cut, July Is, and there is not a
live stream in 25 miles. This land was
summer titued. that is carefully cult.
waited and the weeds kept down the
summer before it was planted. This is
one of the tenats of scientific dry farm
ing as taught by the Congress. 1t is
applicable to every part of the land
says Mr.. Burns. The average of al
wheat in the U. S. according to the
government is only l4.5 bushels, and the
quality is 92 as against 92.6 last year
So there is nothing wrong with the 1911
wheat but lack of moisture.
every farmer in the land could have
done as Mr.. Bradshaw did with his little
four inch of rainfall, had he been intel
ligent enough to study dry-farmine
methods and willing to do necessary
work." decla)s Mr.. Burns. Some day
they will prepare to meet drouth as they
do all other adverse phenomea of nature
and overcome it, too"

Labor Day a Success

If all day and all celebrations were
as successful as the one was Monday in
Julesburg there would be no reason for
complaint by anyone. Everything went
off as per schedule. Everyone seemed
to have good time and the CONNER
cial Club is several dollars better off
on account of the day.
Early Monday forenoon the people
commenced to arrive and by the time
the parade started large number of
people were on the streets. The parade
was good. 1t was led by the local band
and on the float following was a party
of suffragettes who sang the song we
are publishing this week. Clowns.
Broncho Busters, people in automobiles.
carriages and on foot made up the
balance of the parade.
At 200 p. m. the band called the
people together and proceeded to the
race track where the sports were held.
These consisted of Shetland pony
race, bicycle races, motor cycle race
of three miles, a Maxwell automobile
race, a Ford automobile race in which
Duelin carried off the honors, making
better than 40 miles per hour. The
bucking broncho exhibition was as good
an amatuer performance as is ever
seen. The ball game was interesting
and exciting altho the married men only
made one score to the single mems
five.
At night home talent company put
on minstrel show in connection with
the moving picture show and if applause
is anything to judge by the audience
sure enjoyed the show. Financially it
was big show.
Treasurer Petersen tells US that all
Aogether he has over $4,000 as the re-
suits of the day.
Nearly all the work was donated 70
this leaves nice sum of money to start
in the fall work of the Commercial
Club.
Wehope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Julesburg enjoyed having her visitors
and tried to entertain them the best
she knew how and hopes they all will
come again and bring their neighbors.

Messrs C. w. White, Tom Jen-

have gone up into Nebraska on a

want to out do the other in telling
how it didn't happen.)
