HYDROGRAPHICAL SURVEY
FOR WELD COUNTY IS BEING
SOUGHT BY COMMERCIAL GLIB
Want All Underground Water Located So That
Streams May Be Tapped BY Farmers and Util-
ities---Map Would Save Thousands of Dollars
Annually to Residents - New Organization
Gets Busy in Record Time.

One of the first acts Of the County
Commercial club in its function OF
doing all it can for the county will
be to secure, if possible, hydro
graphical survey for Weld county.
A movement was started this morn
ing that is expected to bring results
this summer. 1t is believed that the
United States geological survey
will act at once on the petition that
will be sent to them and that by
next fall every foot of underground
water in the county, its volume, di-
rection of flow and quality will be 9
matter of record.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the club by ]. l.. Timmons,
who lives near Osgood post o1ice.
He has been working on a petition
among the dry farmers. who will be
immeasurably benefited by the sur
yey. He already has 800 names OF
the 900 necessary to secure. and 1t IL
believed that with members OF the
county organization taking 1t up In
their districts several times the num-
ber of names required can be secured
within a week.
The Arkansas valley has had such
a survey made and 1t has proved OF
untold value in all development
PROPOSITIONS All that is required on
the part of the people is to send In
their petition, as the geological sur
vey prepares the maps without cost.

now has relating to the underfow

DRANK UP
SODA WATER
ENTERED FEZER's DRUG STORE
EARLY THIS MORNING
ALSO NEEDED FEW SLAVES
Used Crow Bar Fit for Giant to Get
in But Couldn't Pry Door or
of the Safe

Using a crow bar something like
seven feet long and weighing in the
neighborhood of half ton or so,
burglars last night effected entrance
in the drug store of J. H. Fezer. on
Eighth street They secured dozen
raZors, a few raZorettes, some soap
and small toilet articles. 1t is be-
lieved that these were taken after
the thieves had been disappointed in
opening the safe.
The robbery was discovered about
O'Clock this morning by one of the
night officers. who found the rear
door open. An investigation showed
that this had been forced. Mr.. Fezer
lieved that nothing was taken. A
more thorough examination made
this morning. however, showed that
the thieves had gotten thirsty while
at their work and helped themselves
to soda water, evidently taking a
sample of every drink on tap.
The crow bar was found in the
rear and was taken to the police sta
ton 1t is believed that this was
stolen from some place in town.
The outside door of the safe had
been left open, only the inside door
being locked. The knob of the Sec
ond door was pried off in the eff
fort to get inside, The police are
under the impression that the work
was done by amateurs, since there
was little trace of the skilled cracks
man. The job is thought to have
been done by floaters who probably
made their way to that city imme
, the discovery was made.
