THE ENGLE DAM Is a SORE
SPORT FOR COLORADO


The fact that FL Paso and New Mex
leo will get the Engle dam and the ir-
rtgation waters which IL will afford is
sticking in the craW of the Colorado
people The Denver Post of Friday
last published the following. addressed
TO Hon. A. W. Rucker" a congress-
man from that state:
I desire to call your attention to
the published correspondence between
president Taft and governor Shafroth
regarding the En6le dam. a govern
ment project which it is asserted men
aces the welfare of the san Luis val
ley.
THE president has referred to the
fact that this dam is be -ng constructed
as authorized by congress- I am in
formed that you. in common with the
other members Of our Colorado dele
cation, voted for the $40 900 600 loan
without which the project could not
have been undertaken
To fill the Engle reservoir when
completed will more than require all
the unappropriated waters of the Rio
Grande watershed, so that if utilized
no further appropriation of water in
the San Luis valley can be made or
new irrigation development be posi-
BILE.
The state owns more than 100000
acres of land there which will never
be reclaimed if the announced purpose
of the government to convey the Colo
rado waters TO the Engle reservoir be

Prof. +. +. Ellsworth spoke before
the Mems Bible Class Of the Meth
odist church last Sunday on the topic,
Moral teaching in the public school"
His address was interesting through
out in the series of facts presented
and the descriptions given of the
methods of moral and ethical train
ing now being used. He presented
statistics gathered from a careful ex-
animation of those confined in our
penal institutions and the districts
from which these criminals come,
which prove that people who have no
church affliation and do not attend
Sunday schools produce criminals at
the rate of ne TO every $50 OF popu-
lation; while that denomination which
supports its Sunday schools as the
one great factor OF church life, pro-
duces but one criminal to each eight
thousand of population. Mr.. Ellis
worth was rendered unanimous in
vitation to appear before the class
again at an early date to present fur
ther consideration OF the subject.

ALMA NON EASILY
Defeated Breckenridge Last Thursday
by LOp.Sided Score Of 23.7

Twenty-three to seven, and it
might have been more. That is the
story of the defeat of Breckenridge
at the hands of Alma last Thursday
afternoon at Davis Field. AS to hits
and errors, the score-keeper stopped
tabulating them when the lead in his
pencil run out. 1t was Alma all the
way. The home boys opened UP in
the first inning running over three
counts in quick order by some good
hitting and couple OF bad errors
They repeated again in the second
but were threatened momentarily
when Breckenridge scored three. At
this point the game proved quite in
teresting.
In the fourth inning Alma went
after their opponents in a way that
made huge joke of the game. From
this inning on they scored at will un-
til they were tired OF running around
the circuit. They simply had their
opponents out-classed. Allen, pitch
ing for Alma, did not extend himself
to any degree for the men behind
him put up strong defense and gave
him comfortable lead all the way.

promises to become an exceptionally

Miss Shultz has had unusual training
in these subjects, and she is spoken

believe that no mistake has been made
in giving her charge of this important
work.

TELEPHONE G0NDU|TS
Bell and Union Telephone Companies
Prepare for Future Growth
IN GRAT|OT CO.'S METROPOLIS
Two and Three.fifth Miles of Subway Laid
Soon to Be In Use

The Bell and Union Telephone
Companies, convinced in their own
minds of the future growth OF Alma,
have provided the city with a con-
duit system costing thousands Of dol
lars. There is not city in Michi-
gan the size of Alma that has as
thorough and complete an under
ground system of telephone conduits
as has just been laid on Superior
street. In fact, the system is COM
plete and where laid will care for the
needs of Alma when a population of
10000 or more Is recorded by the
national census. Why this invest
ment? you ask Simply as level
headed business men the management
of the two companies have come to
realize that the steady, constant
growth of the city during the past
few years foretells a more rapid
growth in the near future, the contin-
gencies of which can be met now bet
ter than later. AS business men the
management of the two companies
are willing to make investments and
build against future needs in any
community that shows hustle, growth
and disposition ON the part of the
residents to keep things moving after
having once made the start.
That these conditions prevail in
Alma is apparent by the large number
of new buildings being erected, the
ten blocks of streets that are being
paved, the $3.50 school house being
erected, the $25O,O0O improvements to
the sugar factory, as we'll as the
score or more OF other permanent
improvements now being made
throughout the city, as a result of
which it is easy to understand why
the two telephone companies will
remove their aerial equipment and go
underground
Under the supervision Of Mr.. A.
Gibson, two and three-hfth miles of
subway and 14,4Os feet Of duct have
been laid under the latest and most
approved methods. Eleven manholes
located at different points along the
system have been placed thereby per-
mitting easy access TO the cables from
Pine avenue on the east to Park
street on the west.
We are credibly informed that the
system as now laid is sufficient for
a city of $4,000 people. The removal
Of the poles and the clearing of the
street Of the network of wires will be
begun in the near future.

NEITHER GOULD Win
MethOdiStS Danced Upon Side.LineS,
PreSbyterianS Stole Bases

1t was a very exciting and hard
fought game at Davis Field that the
Methodists and the Presbyterians
played last Saturday. Neither side
scored after the third when the Pres
byterians evened up and the score
stood 2-2 Prof Ellsworth, pitching
for the Presbyterians, was invinci-
bic after the first inning when the
Methodists made two runs. Decker
also pitched gilt-edged ball.
Many who went to the game ex-
pected to see the usual comedy of
errors" that characterizes so many of
the games between business men who
have not thrown a ball for forty
years" The game was a great sur
prise as there were very few errors
and many sensational plays. Three
lightning double plays were features
of the Presbyterians play on the
defense, while Washburn in right
field made a brilliant catch Of Ellis
worth's hard drive in the first inn
ing.
Continually during the last five inn
ings both sides threatened to score
but as soon as man landed on third
both pitchers frightened up and there
was nothing doing Four times
Decker struck men out when a hit
would have scored a run and won the
game for the Presbyterians. The
game was called at the end of the
ninth inning on acc cunt of darkness
and fatigue of the veterans" An
other game is being arranged be-
tween the two teams.
