SALOON
AD STIRS
UP A ROW
LASALLE PROHIBITIONISTS OBJ
JECT TO LOCAL PAPER AID
VERTISING LIQUOR SOLD IN
TOWN OF MILLIkEN

LaSalle. April lis it proper
for the local paper to run an adver'
tisement of the Milliken saloons
This is the question which Is agitat'
ing this town and already there are
divisions pro and con.
LaSalle is temperance town In
corporated as such and the general
sentiment is against the saloon OF
the promotion Of it in any form.
When the ad appeared in the local
paper a committee from the w. c.
T. U. of the town requested that 1t
be discontinued. 1t appears that
the editor could not see the matter
in the same light as did the mem
bers of the organization and con-
tinued to advertise the wares of the
saloon. This has brought about a
decision on the part of some to dis
continue their local paper so long
rs the advertisement runs. The
editor OF the paper says that his
space is for sale to advertisers and
1t is not for him to bar any one who
is conducting a legal business. He
says that he is only personally re-
sponsible for what appears in his
editorial columns.
In the meantime the opposers of
his policy point to the fact that not
one of the papers in other towns in
corporated against the saloon run
liquor ads.

IN A RUNAWAY

LaSalle, April Mail Carrier
e. l. Edie had a thrilling experience

weed In the road and for five miles
went at a rapid gait. Their driver
managed to keep them in the road
but expected to be overturned every
minute a. his closed mail cart
swayed dangerously from side to
side. The horses lnally ran into q
side. the horses finally ran into q
mail box post and were brought to
stand still. One of the animals
was quite badly cut but will be all
right in few days. Walter i>im-
sey assisted Mr.. Edie inquieting his
team and today as usual the horses
are travelling along over the mail
route.

NO PEAS FOR
WINDS0RITES

Windsor, April Letters from
the Empson Canning company of
Longmont to the Commercial club
of Windsor state that contrary to
their expectation the company will
not be able to get into the Windsor
district this season to solicit pea
acreage for the Longmont canning
factory. The canning company peo-
pie say that farmers will now be at
work in their fields and soliciting
committee would find it hard work
attempting to locate and interview
them. For this reason 1t has been
decided to wait until next year to
obtain pea acreage in this district
1t is believed that it will be easy tc
secure at least 500 acres for pes
growing in Windsor and vicinity
The peas will be hulled here and
sent over the Colorado & Southern
railway to the factory, which o.
course contemplates the erection o
a hulling plant in Windsor.

ed away Saturday in the Greeley
hospital, where he underwent an
operation a few days ago. For
months Mr.. Abbott has been in fail
ing health.
Mr.. Abbott was born in Nichols
vile, N. Y. 65 years ago and
spent his youth in that state. He
learned telegraphy in its early
days and was one of the few opera
tors who sent the first messages of
the Morse code over the country.
In the late SOS he came to Chew
enne. where he was agent and oper-
ator for the Union Pacific and sold
stage tickets from Cheyenne to
Denver before the railroad con-
Meeting those points was built.
When the first colonists came Ia
Greeley he sold them their tickets
from Cheyenne and followed them
here q few months later arriving
IN August. 1870. For 25 years he
was the agent and operator here
having his office first in a beg car

PRESENT Law
ON IRRIGATION
IS ATTACKED
senator Carpenter Files Brief in
Supreme Court in Reservoir
vs.. Ditch Suit

Asserting that the irrigation acts
OF 1879 and 1901 confer upon ditch
appropriations a priority to use of
water as against reservoir uses, re-
gardless of seniority, Attorney
DELPHI E. Carpenter and Herbert
Baker of Greeley, in a brief filed in
the supreme court Saturday, attack
the constitutionality of those acts
of the legislature and declare that
no court has authority to fix an ir-
rigation season in Colorado.
The brief was filed in the case
Of the High Line Ditch company
against the Union Reservoir com
pany, appealed from the district
court of Boulder county, and At
tomeys Carpenter and Baker ap-
pear as friends of the court to urge
a decision in favor of the reservoir
company.
The filing OF the brief has
another significance than the fact
that it disputes the legality of the
irrigation acts of 1879 and 1901
Attorney Carpenter is the author oi
the Carpenter reservoir bill, passed
by the Eighteenth General assem-
bly, after a vigorous fight had beer
vaged against it in both houses.
That bill, which became Law
through the failure of the governor
to either approve or veto it, is nov
pending before the people undel
the referendum, petitions to refe
It having been circulated all
through Colorado's farming sec
tions last summer.

IN NEED
OF SEED
IN WELD
HONIESTEADERS IN VICINITY OF
GROVER WILL NOT BE ABLE
O PLANT CROPS WITHOUT
BEING GIVEN AID

Grover, April There will be
many homesteaders who will be I'M
able to plant crops this year unless
seed is furnished them. These men
and their families have just passed
a winter of great privation and
hardship and the spring finds them
practically penniless. Most Of them
have a team and are ready 10
work and plant crops II they can
get seed. There has been much
talk about the state, county and in
dividuals helping out these people
hut so far no seed has arrived at
Grover. This is really a very vital
matter and it is sincerely hoped
that efforts will be made to assist
these worthy but destitute people
The above was the statement of
Cashier Abbey OF the Grover bank
this morning, who is deeply inter
ester in the welfare of his COM
munity.
1t is understood that the board of
Weld county commissioners has
written to the board of Sedgwick
county asking them for data con-
cerning what Sedgwick Is doing. \
letter from the Union Pacific Rail-
road company requested this be
done. 1t is understood that Sedg-
wick county gives each destitute
homesteader $50 worth of seed He
pays for the seed by working on the
county roads at regular day wages
and payment must be made by No.
vember next. Can not Weld
county do as we'll?
