Mr.. Gooding occupied the stand
most of the day. He told OF estab-
fishing wool ware house in Chi
cago, after having failed in attempts
to start one in Boston.
Three years ago the wool grow
ers OF the western states attempted
to establish wool ware house in
Boston," he said, but were unable
to do so because Boston bankers re-
fused to advance the wool growers
any money on their shipments. The
ware house then was established in
Chicago through the aid of financial
men here, and it has been bless
ing to the wool growers OF the
west.
Frank G.. Hegbarthan. of Idaho,
testified that the cost of producing
wool since 1902 had increased 80
per cent He said the cost OF rais-
ing sheep had increased since 1909.
In that year, he said, the cost per
head was s1.54, while In 1910 1t
amounted to $3.50.

on October "a. 1t will be continued

out color of authority, and no fault
or blame is laid on the county
treasurer for paying out what he
has paid out on any of the old war
rants. / must further say that this
case has been one which has been a
pleasure to me to try. The school
district came in here, not as many
school districts come in, with a
fight on from start to finish and
everybody fighting everybody else.
The Court finds that everybody in
this matter has acted in absolute
good faith. Now as TO whether or
not the school board and school dis
trict No. SO in past years has acted
eXtravagantly in the erection of
buildings which were unnecessary
for the needs of school district No.
So, it is not for the Court to say at
this time. If they have acted reck-
lessly and in disregard of their rev.
enues, the Court will not infict
punishment upon the children of
district No. 80 at this time; and the
fact that the district has seen fit to
make this levy and to arrange for
nine months of school for the COM
ing year is no more than 1t has a
right to do, and the Court will not
interfere and does not think it
would have the power to interfere
with what has been arranged by
school district No. So.
Now then the question arises as
to whether or not this spec
| ial fund is continuing fund,
or whether it is a fund Great
ed by the school district for
special purpose and is only a fund
existing from year to year. That
seems to be the serious question in
volved in this case.
The Court is of the opinion that
the county treasurer will have no
legal authority to pay out on any
warrant excepting such as we're is
sued upon that fund for the current
year. 1t is the duty of the county
treasurer to keep an account with
the school districts, and l take it
that that account is an annual ac-
count. This levy was made for a
specific purpose-to conduct the
school, and incidentally in this case
to pay debts, as the Court takes it;
and the injunction will be granted.

COUNTY TREASURER ENJOINED
AGAINST PAYING REGISTERED
SEVERANCE SCHOOL WARRANTS

School district No. so, including
severance, may hold school as usual
this season. In the district court
thursday afternoon after a hearing
lasting for two days, Judge Graham
issued an injunction restraining
county Treasurer Patterson from
paying any registered warrants out
OF the funds of the district that
are raised for the current expenses.
Inc order applies to all registered
warrants other than those issued
against special school taxes for the
current expenses.
The decision is of wide interest
throughout the county in that some
40 per cent of the school districts
are SAID to be in a position similar
to Severance. Their registered war
rants a.e out with the only funds to
pay them being needed for current
expenses.
The ruling of the court practically
protects the children who, under
the statute, are entitled to at least
lour months schooling each year
and IN most cases are given nine
months. 1t will also serve as a
warning to school districts in the
future against extravaganza in the
matter of building. 1t appeared at
the trial of the Severance case that
a larger school than was needed was
built at a cost of SIS, 700 and that
$1,000 of this Indebtedness was paid
in registered warrants. 1t was the
payment of these that was estoppeG
| by the court. 1t is estimated that
some four years will be required fol
the district to raise the money nee
essary TO pay these while holdins

Other civil suits may follow the
case, as it is possible that the hold

him from paying the cash on tn,

clare these warrants Illegal or thei

Gated Thursday in the presence of
Secretary of Agriculture James Will

the Denver commercial bodies and
others who made the trip to the
reservoir site on a special train.
Secretary Wilson, who came to
Denver at the invitation of Receiver
Arthur Day and the Chamber of
Commerce, delivered the principal
address. He was followed by other
speakers, all of whom laid special
stress upon the benefits to be de-

tion of an irrigation system which
is unique in its proximity to a city
of more than 100000 population.
The successful completion OF this
system of reservoirs, canals and

result in the growth at Denver's S
door of a farming population of
10000 persons, Secretary Wilson
said,

NORTHWEST OF GREELEY

The Cook Railway Signal com
pany, which has installed the system
on the Laramie road, is a Denver
concern and experts declare that it
has by far the best safety device for
railroads that has been discovered
The prediction is made that it Will
become one of the big industries of
Denver.
The system, known as blocks, y
is electrically and automatically
operated and shows the engineer
exactly where the train ahead of
him is stationed. The system also
registers broken or misplaced rails
so that an engineer can always tell
if it is clear ahead The block
system is being installed on all the
principal railroads of the United
States. The Cook system is said to
be far cheaper than any system of
block signalling known.
The Laramie road crosses the
Union Pacific three times between
Denver and Greeley and there is
another crossing of the lnterurban
at Utah Junction. AT all four of
these crossings are towers.
