OF depositors called for tomorrow
evening at the auditorium, the Mesa
County National bank will reopen
its doors within a short time, with
Orson Adams and other influential
financiers in charge, and with every
depositor and stockholder receiving

The plan in brief provides for the
payment of the depositors with GER

within a year. the deposit within the
bank of the cash reserve required by
the government, and the approval Of
this action by the receiver and the
comptroller of the currency.

The members OF the committee,
while maintaining eecrecy in regard
to their plan were unusually optimis-

within a very short time, and that It
would be placed on the soundest IL

MAGENHE|MERS
LOSE CONTROL
DITCH BOARD
Small Land Owners Win Election
Which May End In Litigation
in the Courts.
DISTRICT TO BACK THE SUIT

Control of the Orchard Mesa Irri-
CATION district was wrested yesterday
from the Magenheimer interests In
the ditch election, and the largest
land owners and heaviest taxpayers
IN the Mesa are now cut off from all
representation on the board.
There were only about sixty votes
cast in the district, but this defeated
the old members. running to retain
control by seven to one. the ranch
men having been quietly organizing
for the fight for over year.
Edward Scriven defeated B. C.
Fox for the three-year term. and
Jesse Nail won for the une1pired
term of II. c. Stong defeating George
Smith OF this city.
There may be q question of le-
sality brought up over the election in
the proceedings which are to follow
The landowners secured two legal
opinions at yesterdays election. One
upon which the old board relied was
that mono could vote who had not
paid the 1912 taxes. Tho ranchers
secured an opinion that the voters
also vote and this question may be
carried to the court.
The one remaining member of the
board, C. ]. Mccormack. has been a
representative OF the smaller proper
ty-owners since his election and all
three members are now opposed to
the Magenheimer interests.
The election Was of the highest i'm
portance because of the fight which
was started some time ago against
the Magenheimers over alleged ex-
travaganees In the construction of
the million dollar ditch. The ranch
ers had been raising funds to start a
Law suit, and the control of the ditch
board will place the district back of
any suit they may bring.

Midland Trail Designated For a
New Route Through Colorado;
Is Important Victory Here.
THE newest highway association

THE newest highway association
from New York through Colora-
= do to the coast has chosen the
Midland Trail for Its scenic route
through this state and Utah. An
nouncement of the designation Is
made is a message to The Sentinel
today from the meeting which is be-
ing held in st. Joe.
The full route of the highway
makes 1t touch Pittsburg, Columbus,
indianapolis. Springfield. Hannibal,
st. Joseph. Colorado Springs, Grand
Junction. Salt Lake City and ending
at San Francisco or Los Angeles. The
Midland trail west of Salt Lake City,
which was adopted by the Lincoln
paved highway has also been selected
by the Rock Island Association as
the new organization is called.
The most important feature of the
meeting Is the pledge of several thou
sand dollars by prominent motoring
enthusiasts to form the nucleus OF a
fund to improve all parts of the road
regardless of the sums expended by
the counties or states. The bulk of
this fund. it is planned. will be spent
In Colorado and Utah to make the
Rock Island highway the best trans
continental route in the country.
The decision of the Rock Island
Association confirms the contention
Of the local trail boosters that the
route through Colorado and Utah is
much more desirable than any Wyom-
ing road, and. despite the fact that
the Wyoming road may be hard-sur-
faced. the motorists who compose
the Rock Island organization deter
mined to see the scenic beauties Of
Colorado. even II they had to be
traversed over dirt highways.
This means that. tremendous sup

II II expects to collect the tax on the

The county commissioners this
morning, after hearing the argument

other option than to accept the re-

the district will be about $4,000

1t is probable that the matter will
be tested In court, either by a man

About half past four Monday after
noon, one of the Main street cars col
lided with a heavy dump wagon at
Ninth street and the driver, Charles
Watkins, colored, was thrown to the
pavement and one of his ankles and a
wrist run over by the wheels Of the
vehicle. One of the team of big
horses was thrown when the car
struck the tongue of the wagon and
spun both horses around with some
force.
The motorman of the car, it is said
forgot to ring his bell when he saw
Watkins swing the team near the
Alton livery ftable. The driver was
turning around to go down Main
street and the car was going toward
the cemetery.
Watkins was not badly hurt, his
worst injury being sprained ankle
The horse which was thrown was
skinned about one shoulder and had 9
small hole in the lower part of one
of it's forelegs.
