Regent. - The Commercial Club o.
this city has shown it's progressive
spirit in very practicable and laud
able manner. by its recent decision te
construct an irrigation project on the
bottom lands of the Cannon Ball river
adjoining town. They have made ar
rangements for the lease of about thir
ty acres of land and will install cen
trffugal pump with capacity of 1,5O(
gallons Of water per minute, raising
the water from the river with a gaso
line traction. about IL H. P. being re
quired for the work.
State Engineer Atkinson recently
laid out the bitches and advised the
immediate installation of the pump
and the irrigation of the land in the
latter part of October or the first of
November. as in his Judgment, If the
land is filled with water this fall it
will be in much better condition for
breaking and seeding In the early
spring
The land on which the irrigation
will be done is all unbroken prairie,
and the irrigation demonstration
which will be shown will be very valu.
able to the farmers Of the county and
to everyone along the Cannon Ball
river. and will show fully the great
benefits to be derived by using irri.
cation water on the land wherever 1t
is possible to do SO.
1t Is the intention of the commercial
club to make one of their members
manager of the proposition, and
through him strict account will be
kept of the cost of developing the
project. the cost to deliver the water
on the land and the profit per acre.
A considerable portion of this irri-
gated land will be seeded to max.
which will be cultivated in the same
manner as the irrigated land, with the
exception that no water will be ap-
Piled This will demonstrate very
fully the difference in yield between
the irrigated and non-irrigated land;
tiOn to- give to the farmers along the
entire Cannon Ball country
In addition to- the flax which will
he seeded there will be few acres
put into potatoes. some of which will
he irrigated and some non-irrigated.
They will also seed about one acre Of
garden truck. so that complete dem
onstration farm will be carried on for
the next few years.
State Engineer Atkinson is very
confident that from this first years
crop the commercial club will receive
sufficient returns to not only pay the
cost of the development project, but
a good profit besides.
The enthusiasm shown by the repre-
sentative men of the city in this work
is very marked, and good results are
sure to be obtained therefrom. In ad
dition to the irrigation work and dem
onstration farm, they are also hold
ing farmers meetings and advising
the farmers the best methods of cul-
tivation and rotation of crops, and
such activity in this direction Is bound
to bring about better farming meth
DDS, which will bring greater financial
returns to the farmers and to the city.

!, Minot. - Three.fourths of the
population of Minot and several thou

Auditorium to witness the drawing of
the affidavits of those who had regis

winners.

UNIFICATlON OF PROJECT
is AT A CRITICAL POINT
Much Activity Bound to Result
Reclamation Service SPehd
$1,5OO,OOO.

1t is pointed out by the press and
the people interested in the until
cation of the water system OF the
Uncompahgre project, that, unless
the Ironstone and Chipeta ditches
come in at once, work on the pro
ject will be almost at standstlll'
whereas, if the unification is COM
rleted, a million and i;d!I II DOL
lars will be spent upon its compie-
ton at the rate of s75, 900 month
in the employment of men ana
teams.
That this amount of money spent
would do much to better times In
this vicinity, there is no question.
But that is not all: The holding
back is retarding the progress anu
development of a future great sec
ton and placing the completion OF
the project upon which it finally de-
pends, in jeopardy. 1t is to De
hoped that these ditch companies
and the Water Users Association
will get together. Business men oil
Montrose are taking the matter up
IN body in order to do what tney
can to influence unification. me
business men of Delta and Olathe
should do the same.
1t seems TO be a question IN
which all citizens at home, as well
as many land claimants abroad are
vitality interested in. The compile
tion of the project means a new
era of prosperity to this section tie
resumption of work will mean, as
stated, the sum of SIS, 900 a month
of additional employment of labor

HOUSE FLY THE MOST DAN

Germs of Many Contagious Dis
cases Carried by the Feet

The following circular has beer
issued by the State Board OF Health
What? The house fly now
generally known among physicians a
the typhoid fly
1t breeds in filth, and lives in
filth. Its body is covered with about
900 fine hairs. Its feet are COW
cred with hairy cushions.
Each fly carries on its body, on
its feet, and inside its body from l,
900 to 100000 germs.
The fly "speck' contains many
living disease germs.
Flies carry the germs of tubeTcu-
losis, diptheria, scarlet fever, small
rox. summer dysentry, and many
other diseases.
Zach female fly deposits from
i20 to $50 eggs. These mature in
to full grown flies in 10 or 2 days.
All manure, refuse and waste of
every kind should be removed every
five days, so their breeding places
will be interrupted and the flies
eventually destroyed.
The best and cheapest fly poison
is a solution of ''formaldehyde. -
a tablespoonful of this liquid in a
half a glass of water exposed in a
room on a towel or sheet will kill
all flies.
Take one teaspoonful of formal
Gehyde, add to one-third glass OF
water, sweeten and place about
the room in saucers or shallow
dishes

meat markets have been screening
in their blocks and refrigerator
sections and John kurz has an es-
pecially attractive cage for himself

NEXT FALL AND WINTER
WILL BE LIVELY IN DELTA
Big Crop Returns Promise to Much
More Than Offset Midsum-
mer Quiet.

The prospects for a lively fall
and winter in Delta county remain
most encouraging. The little period
OF quiet business just now feels,
will, in another month or six
weeks, give way to crop returns
which by that time will begin to
come in suIficiency to afford re-
lief.
Unlike the states where crops
nave been destroyed, Delta county
can now view the most rapidly
growing crops immaginable, some
OF which are maturing, and with
plenty of water to irrigate and rich
soil to perfect them.
The first cutting of alfalfa is
mainly taken care of. Winter wheat
is ready for the reaper. Oats and
spring wheat will hardly be out of
the way of the second alfalfa cut
ting. cantaloupes and watsrmelons
will have their time. Berries,
peaches and other summer and fall
fruits must be cared for. after
hich will come the big sugar
beet and winter apple harvests.
Truly IL is a wonderful country.
the greatness of which its own peo-
PIE do not half realize!
There is no hot air about the
statement that our crops are fine.
they are big in all the word i'm
plies, and all who view them look
forward to the best fall and winter
Delta county has ever had, as a
result of their marketing. for the
money they will bring will run in
To the millions.
And there is no present stress
hich cannot find relief. We have
known a mining manager to stop
" ork and take gold enough up to
the bank to pay his men when the
treasury happened to be short. The
Delta farmer to day has an equal
ly easy and sure way of raising
money II he wants 1t by simply dig
ring few sacks of potatoes and
selling them for four or five cents
a pound. And this is but one of
many ways open to him IL he has
taken proper advantage of his op-
portunities.
