STANLEY LAKE IRRIGA-
TION PROJECT RUINS CROPS

DR.. w. w. McEwen retuned last
evening from trip to Denver and va
rious points in Boulder and vicinity.
DR.. McEwen spent day or two with
Harry, who has finished his first year
in the law school. Harry will not
visit Durango this summer, but will
spend his vacation in the mountains
doing some work for the city of Boul-
der on its water storage system.
The crops between Denver and Boul-
der are practically burned up. The
finest stands of wheat and alfalfa are
literally being destroyed for lack of
moisture. The general opinion as to
the cause is that the Stanley Lake
Irrigation project, which is being con-
structed, has absorbed all the mois-
ture from the smaller bitches, and as
a result a number Of farmers will
lose their crops this season.
The Stanley project is an immense
concern, the dam being 1853 feet high
and mile long. There is train run
ming along the top Of the dam dis
tributing the dirt, SO some idea OF
its size may be thus obtained.

A NEW DANGER.

The fact that this country is in
vaded by foe of no small moment
may be of interest to our readers.
4 he foe in question is the periodical
cicadas, or as those who are on fa-
miliar terms with the insect call it,.
the seventeen-year locust. Mr.. G. r..
Tiffany sr. brought one of the bugs
to this plant this morning and with it
he brought "A book containing n lot of
illustrations and descriptive matter
which proves the identity of the in
sect. The seventeen-year locust is not
of the grasshopper family at all and
looks more, to US, like a big long
winged horsefly than anything else.
They are said to be very destructive
I" young orchards but they can be
fought successfully and, if they prove
to be with us in sufficient numbers to
become a menace, we hope that con-
oerted effort will be made to kill them
off. 1t may be well for every farmer
in the county to watch for this pest
in order to be ready to take steps to
protect his crops for we imagine that
this would be one of the cases where
being forewarned is to be forearmed.

MANCOS AND CORTEZ

The erstwhile Shutdown Sluggers
but soon to be known as the Buster
Browns will journey by autos to Man

team in the morning and the latter in
the afternoon. The Slabtowns have
been putting in the past week at stren-

their stride little doubt is felt as to
the outcome of the scheduled games.
We understand that both of the
Nontezuma valley teams are very con-

Sluggers in the dust. They may
but if they do they will realize that
they have been in the fray to finish
for the Slabtowns are never beaten
although defeated at times, but never
until the last man is out in the last
inning.
Elbert Hubbard will do the twirling
for the locals, the rest of the team
being made up the same as 1t was
when they faced the Utes at the fair
grounds.
Reports from Mancos and Cortez
are to the effect that both towns and
the entire counry surrounding is base
ball mad and that record-breakine
attendance will be out to witness the
contest. Quite number of fans will
