BREAK IS
CAUSE OF
BAD WATER
CITY PIPE LINE BREAKS NEAR
EATON DITCH-DITCH WATER
OF THE BEST QUALITY FOR \
FEW DAYS MORE

Greeley folks are drinking ditch
water. Very good quality, but
ditch water nevertheless. A break
in the pipe line two miles west OF
Fort Collins has cut off the city
water, and gives a full flow of ditch
fluid in its stead. 1t will require
a week before the break can be re-
paired.
Mayor Mayher returned this noon
from the site OF the trouble, leav-
ing other officials in charge of the
break temporarily. He states that
the broken pipe occurs where the
pipe was laid across the Eaton
ditch, stones throw from Lake
Lindenmeier. Continued washing
had undermined the pipe line until
it hung entirely off the ground, then
fell of its own weight into the
ditch. About 80 feet of pipe is
broken away from the main line,
and lies intact a few feet away.
Water is pouring into the break
full flow, while the filtered water
from the basins is running equally
strong from out the broken pipe
into the ditch.
1t will require the services of
pile driver outfit to make the re-
pairs. Meantime the water will be
turned back into the ditch, it hav-
ing been turned out this morning to
admit of an examination. We will
continue to get ditch water until the
pile driver arrives and all the pre-
| liminary repair work is done, when
water will again be turned out at
| the headgate and the pipe line re-
paired in few hours time. Mean
time. until the arrival this evening
Of the other city employees, it has
not been decided whether lawns
may be sprinkled or not. Until
| urther notice no water must be
| used except for household use.
The great value of irrigating
| water at this time makes it seri-
,us matter to cut the water out of
the Eaton ditch, but the two In
terests, realizing the seriousness OF
the proposition to Greeley, are
working in harmony to get the
trouble remedied as early as pos
sible.

Wilson is Modest
Over Nomination

Seagirt, N. j., July 3. When
notified OF his nomination Woodrow
Wilson said: You must some
times have wondered why / have
not showed more emotion. as the
news came in from the convention
and have been afraid that you
might get the impression that l was
SO self-confident and sure Of the re-
suit that l took the steady in
crease in the vote for me in Balti-
more complacently and as a matter
OF course.
The fact is that the emotion has
been too deep to come to the surface
as the vote has grown and as 1t has
seemed more likely that l might be
nominated. have grown more and
more solemn. have not felt any
OF this as II 1t were thing that
centered on myself as person.
Those fine men who have been fight
ing for me in Baltimore ! have not
regarded as my representatives. 1t
Is the other way round.
~ have felt all the while that they
were honoring me by regarding me
as their representative and that
they were fighting for me because

his support the rank and file of the
party.
The nomination was accomplished
with the most dramatic scenes ever
witnessed in any convention.
Wilson Monday night seemed
weakened. Yesterday he became
the dominating factor, but dominat-
ing because each state delegation
feared to go to its home with
record of having fought Bryan. They
feared a divided party that would
leave themselves out of power and
this sentiment grew as it became
apparent that only by the nomina-
tion of Wilson could the full support
of the commoner be received.
For ballot after ballot was taken
with delegates weakening one by
one until Wilson had reached 639.
Clark's managers were still tell
ing the. leaders of restless Clark
delegations that the end of the de-
sertion had begun. But the blow
came when the southern delegates
broke and Underwood name was
withdrawn by senator Bandhead.
The Tammany delegation saw
that it had lost. Congressman Fitz-
gerald of Brooklyn tried to make
the nomination by acclamation after
ex-senator Stone. leader of the
Clark forces, released all Clark
delegates, but announced that Clark
would stay to the end.
Senator Reed blocked the effort
to make the nomination by accla-
nation, saying that Missouri wanted
the privilege of voting for "old
Champ Clark" once more.
The roll was called. New York,
stigmatized by Bryan as the tools
of Murphy, grinned sardonically as
they added their 80 votes to Bryan's
choice. 1t was their one bit of re-
venge and they took 1t.
State after state fell into line.
The victory of Bryan over his foes
was complete. Bryan more than
Wilson had won.
The dominition of Bryan was
shown when such states as Colo
RADIO deserted the Clark column.
The bulk of the delegation left on
the 44th ballot when 10 votes went

PROSPECT
FOR BEETS
IS BRIGHT
FIELDS IN FINE SHAPE is RE-
PORT OF FIELD SUPERlNTEN-
DENTS-EXTRA DUMPS ARE
BEING BUILT.

Kersey, July 3-From the Mar
rows. this side of FIT. Morgan, to
nersey, the beet fields are in splen-
did shape says the field superinten-
dent of the sugar factory. In this
district the factory has contracted
for 1900 acres of beets but it is
thought that this acreage will sim
mer down to 1000. So heavy are
the leaves in some fields that the
farmers have had to stop cultivating
for fear of injuring the plant by
chopping off the leaves.
1t is stated by the field superin-
tendent that the first water will be
turned on the beets about the mid
lie of the month The recent rains
have been fine for the fields and it
is thought that the beets will test
more percentage of sugar than last
year. Some of the fields are show
great progress in growth while in
others the beets are barely pushing
through the ground.
John Warren of Greeley on the
Green City flats has the largest
acreage of any one in this vicinity.
He has total acreage of It's acres.
In the vicinity of Green City flats
the crop is looking extra fine, for

Yesterday afternoon, but little dam
age was done.
The beet dumps are being repair
ed at Kuner and other stations. A
pony dump is being installed at
Masters while Sublette will have a
new dump. U. NJ Henderson. the
field superintendent. has been in the
fields measuring up the crop and he
nredicts that the Weld will be heavy.

The clovsrland Special.

The Cloverland Special, train de-
voted to farm management and pro-
ducts, is now touring the Upper Penin-
sula, taking in all the cities and towns
on the South Shore lines. Farm exhib-
its of every conceivable nature are
carried on the train, which has been
referred to as the"College on Wheels. )"
All the products exhibited are from
the Upper Peninsula, and are under the
direct charge of several members of
the faculty of the Michigan State Ag-
ricultural college.
The object of the appearance of the
train in this part of the state is to
make the farmer more interested in
the scientific methods of tilling the soil
that he may get greater returns from
the same. The methods advocated by
the specialists are not experimental but
have been tested and their worth prov
en-.
Among those aboard the train are
R. S. Shaw, dean of the College of
Agriculture and director of the Michi-
gan State Agricultural Experiment
station; Leo. H. Geismar, superintend-
ent of the Experiment station; Prof.
o. j. Linton, Prof. w. F. Raven, Prof.
G. F. Wotja, Prof. j. A. Jeffery and
Prof. r. G. Carr, all of the staff of in
structors of the state college.
The train, which consists of five cars
of exhibits, was in L'Anse last Friday
night and remained until 9 the next
morning. From L'Anse the train went
to Baraga. Lectures were given in
both towns and many saw the exhibits.
