easy to understand this Development
in the Mimbrrs Valley. When the
first pumping plant was installed
there were grave doubts in the
minds of practically the whole com

water for irrigation was feasible.
1t required actual demonstration

Il matter Shat no one acquainted

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Cities here.
after may have free water for NUM-
cipal purposes and irrigation, under the
revision of regulations governing water
power development on public lands out
side national forests. The regulations
promulgated by Secretary Fisher to-
night, are in line with the recent re-
commendation of the secretary that
free grants of coal lands be made to
Cities by the government.
To grant permits for municipalities
to mine their own coal will require
congressional action. No previous Sec
retary of the interior ever made use
ef the wide discretion given him by
law, of giving cities water rights free
of charge. Secretary Fisher will i'm
pose only such conditions as may be
necessary to insure" That the benefit
conferred will be enjoyed by the citi-
zens of municipalities and by irrigation
for whom intended, rather than by
4niddlemen who may construct and
operate the works"
The new regulations provide that
permits may be granted water power
companies operating for profit, but in
these cases there. will be rental charges,
which may be readjusted every ten
years. The companies must submit
their prices and service to regulation
by state authorities. If at any time
the state or municipality should de-
Sire to take over the plant it may do
so, paying the private company the full
value, plus bonus.

tue voters:
In asking your support, as democrat c
candidate for justict of the supreme
court, at the primary to be held Sep
tember 10th, 1912, ] desire to call your
attention to the record of the county
Nourt of Denver, over which l have
presided since December 1st, 1908.
In 1909, 1910 and 1911 the expense
OF the court was reduced, on an aver
age of 100000 per annum as COM
pared with 1908. The surplus fees al

and with those to be paid in in 1912,
Will be equal in amount to the ex-
penses of the court for an entire wear.

400 civil suits were instituted. and
3,l69 estates, valued at, approximately,
NINETY MILLION DOLLARS. were
handled making grand total of
',269 proceeding in three years and
eight months; and requiring an office
force of twenty employees to do the
clerical work. The foregoing does not
include the multitude of divorce pro-
~ceedings (about 1880, l believe) with
which the court was afflicted. No
stress is laid on them as they were
conducted at odd times during the ip-
termissions of other business The av-
erage court costs in estate cases
amounted to only $2l.5O (this, Of
course, does not include fees of attor-

TALKS ROAD
HAND, SAYS HE WILL GRADE
ROAD FROM TWIN BRIDGES
TO PLATTEVILIE

Platteville, April 27.-Under the
auspices of the Platteville CONNER
cial club, one of the most active
clubs of its kind in the county, q
big basket social and meeting was
held at l. o. o. F. hall last night
with over half hundred people
present. The meeting was pre-
eminently social affair but also
gave opportunity for the presenta-
ton of the subject of Good Roads,
a topic foremost in the minds of the
members of the Platteville CONNER
cial club.
George Hodgson of Platteville.
the newly appointed county commits
sioner, was on hand and gave
good talk on the subject in hama.
Mr.. Hodgson said it was his inten-
roads as possible and would begin
work soon of grading the roads
from the Twin Bridges south
through Platteville. This is the
main county road into Denver and
is now pretty good highway. AS
soon as the road outfit crew is
through at Lupton, which will be
soon, it will be brought to Platte
vile for work.
l.. S. Birkle followed Mr.. Hodg-
son, stating what the Platteville
district needed. H. F.. Bedford,
chairman of the advertising COM
mittee appointed by the Weld
County Commercial club to issue a
pamphlet setting forth the resources
of the county. called attention to
the fact that he wanted photographs
and items concerning the Platteville
country for use in the booklet and
was authorized to procure them.
Jim Coykendahl gave report of
the Platteville base ball club which
has entered the Weld county league
and which will be backed by the
local commercial club. He said
everything was in shape to play ball
and the first league game would be
at Johnstown between the latter's
team and Platteville on May 10.
The Sunday following Platteville
ration day. Equipment for the ball
team will soon be purchased by the
| Commercial club.
BY this time the aroma of coffee
was floating through the air and
the men were casting longing eyes
at the we'll filled lunch baskets
/ brought by the ladies. Homer Bed
ford was selected as auctioneer and
he sent off the baskets to the
highest bidders, showing that he
is some auctioneer as well as edi-
tor The lunches were spread on a
big table and the neighbors and
friends had a substantial and jolly
feast After supper the young folks
danced for several hours. Once a
month the Platteville Commercial
club intends to hold a social even

KITTY CRY
EATON men
BUT KITTY WAS FROM MISSOURI
AND HAD TO BE SHOWN
TWO HUMANITARIANS LAID
UP FOR REPAIRS

Eaton, April PA cat, a bank
cashier and a broncho buster furn-
ished more excitement and fun for
half the town yesterday than box
of monkies and folks are holding
their sides and laughing as they
think about it this morning, while
the two men are laid up for repairs
and the cat has sought the solitude
OF dark coal cellar.
Early yesterday morning cat,
chased by a dog, took refuge on the
cross arm on the top of an electric
light pole near Billy Barber's bank
1t kept up such mewing that it
got on theb anker's nerves and he
decided to rescue the animal. Ac-
cordingly a pair of lneman's climb
ers was secured and after several
efforts Barber reached the top of
the pole and began to coax the cat
to him. The cat, strange to say,
refused to be hypnotized by Billy's
voice, and driven to desperation
Barber grabbed at the feline, who
put on fight clawing the banker
face taking a nab at his hair and
causing him to retreat in confusion.
BY this time the crowd had gath
cred and were were calls for Tom
Halpin, Bruce Eaton.s foreman and
a hunter of great repute with wild
cats his speciality. Tom had just
returned from trip in the noun
tains and was on his way to the
barber shop to have his flowing rec
beard removed
Tom lowed" he didn't want t.
shin up the pole but was not adverse
to trying to rope the kitten anC
and soon appeared with his lariet
in his hand. Once he threw it and
the cat stepped neatly out of the
coil, again its sinuous curves circled
over the back of the feline who
managed to evade the rope, but the
third time Halpin caught the cat by
the tail and down it came, go flop
| lighting feet foremost in Halpin'
whiskers taking out great tufts and
! disappearing like a red streak down
the alley When Halpin picked
himself up he found great wound
across his nose and two front teeth
gone. Barber was seen staggering
around with his hand clapped over
one side of his face and it is limited
he lost his glass eye in the en-
counter with the cat. Just about
this time Teece Phillips came along,
called up the ambulance and both
men were taken to their homes
where it is believed they will re-
cover if unsuspected symptoms do
not appear.

her expense when she forgot yes

Mrs. OBryne was busy placing

door the music grew louder and
just as the dignified teacher was
about to issue commands to the
leader of the band she met her hus-
band coming into the school
grounds. guessed the reason of the
serenade and beat hasty retreat.

flatteyille, April 29.- Shedding
ms automobile at 5S miles an hour
on the road between Milliken and
Ilatteville proved disastrous TO Dick
Coltey, Everett Moore and Jobn
johns when the car skidded ran
INTO barbed wire fence, taking off
the two lower wires, the upper one
cutting Moore and Johns badly
across their throats and ripping
Coitey's coat, which was buttoned
tightly around his throat, com
pletely off. Strang to say the three
boys kept their places in the car
ana 1t was almost a miracle that
they escaped death. To-day they
are able to be about and Coffey. the
least hurt, went to Denver this
morning to trade in his car for a
new l5-horse power one that can
go 60 miles an hour without half
trying.
Late Saturday afternoon the three
boys started from Milliken, Coffey
driving the car and Johns and
Moore sitting on the back seat. The
latter began calling Coffey Barney
Oldheld and declared that they
could ride as fast as Coffey could

out the engine and when about
three miles from Platteyille the
speedometer registered 5S miles

Dinner on Nav s

The date of the next Commercial
club supper and meeting has been
fixed for the evening of May 6 at
the Camfield at the usual hour of
$40. The general subjects for dis
cussion will be franchises and oiled
streets and 1t is hoped to have
general expression from the men,
bers on these important subjects.
The fact that an electric power
franchise Is before the city council
now and that petition for oiled
streets for the business district is in
'irculation probably will lend ad-
ditiOnal interest to the regular
monthly meeting of the club.

dresses although no definite an

QUICK FIRE
RUN AT EATON

Eaton, April S0.-When the
alarm of fire was sounded here early
this morning and people saw col
umn of black smoke shooting up
near the First National bank ana
the Petrikin and Rea building they
believed that the town was doomed
and n ouick run revealed that big
vat Of tar in use for patching the
former building had isnited. Inc
flames shot twenty feet TO thlry
feet in the air and the tar was ieit
to burn while the firemen watched
the near buildings some not more
than four feet away. Kay Cascaru
was handling the tar ana punt
good fire under the vat when lts
contents suddenly ignited. HAD
there been a wind it is likely that
q disasterous fire would have re
suited as it was, no damage was
done.
