and had been held up for the last
two or three years. In fact. this COM
mittee was given plenipotentiary
power to act for the people here.
The proposition of the extension of
the Colorow ditch to cover some 90
000 acres of land east of Olathe, which
has been held up for long time over
a trivial dispute over the right of the
government to right OF way thru
a couple of lots in Olathe. was settled
by the board agreeing TO pay 1925 for
them and let the work go on rather
than TO await the pleasure OF condem-
ma ion proceedings This was not to
be taken as precedent for the pur-
chase of any other rights OF way.
The following telegram was forward
ed TO the national capitol at conclu-
sion Of the afternoon session:
Hon Franklin X. Lane. secretary
of the Interior, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir; The order OF February
q 1913. affecting water users in Tn
compahgre Valley was made after
many land leases had been made for
1919 and plans made by farmers ex-
pecting to use Gunnison water We
urge a suspension of this order for
1919 and that land holders for whose
subscribed land Gunnison water is
wanted be permitted to make rental
contracts for same Notwithstanding
they may own other lands in the val
ley not subscribed. We believe the
questions of values OF priorities in the
Uncompahgre river will largely be de-
termined during the year and pledge
every effort to unity the system and
bring in large acreage not now in
the project.
BY order of the board of directors
llSS the Uncompahgre Valley Water:
Users association. George W. Bruce
president; John ]. Tobin, secretary.
On Monday the following reply was
received by President Bruce of this
city:

secretary"
On Tuesday Official announcement
was received here that the secretary
had advised the association that the
farmers who had depended upon water
for this years crops would be sup
piled and further that they need not
fear that they would face the problem
of not being able TO mature their un-
dertaking this year. Ii is thought that
the new secretary will fully deter

STEPS TAKEN
AT WATER USERS MEETING

CONTROVERSY ARISING oRDeR NJ
USERS OF euNNIsoN WATER SUBSCRIBE

Every member of the executive
board of the Uncompahgre Valley Wa
ter Users association and also many
farmers OF the valley who have land
and crops to be watered by the Gun
nison tunnel project were in attend
ance upon a meeting in the reclama-
ton building at Montrose last Friday
afternoon which lasted from ! O'Clock
TO T. and it is said that there was no
tagging in either action or interest
throughout.
The direct cause for this getting to-
gether of the association board and
its members at this time was an order
issued by Secretary of the interior
some weeks ago to the effect that wa
ter would not be supplied 10 land own
ers this year under the same terms as
in preceding years. but every appli-
cant for water must sign up contract
to subscribe all OF his land. even
though he did not ask for water TO go
upon the unsubscribed lands.
Such an order. were it enforced.
would work great damage 10 the many
renters under the tunnel project who
already have crops planted and are ex-
pecting TO irrigate from that source
They have proceeded with their work
with the belief that former rules would
prevail, and only learned different
when the new order confronted them.
According to Geo. w. Bruce. presi-
dent of the association. who resides in
this city and who was in attendance
upon the meeting Friday afternoon.
T. w. Mcneil and others in Montrose
got busy when they realized the effect
OF that order and notified Colorado
representatives in congress to prevail
upon Secretary Lane with vieS to
having the order suspended.
The Daily Press OF Montrose. says
that Mr.. Mcneil led the fight against
such an order. saying that II must
have been made by some one who
was wholly unfamiliar with the situa.
ton here The board agreed with him
and Engineer Pease announced that
he would gladly have that order res
fcinded.
4 joint resolution was then intro
duced by MIR. Mcneil and President
Bruce and unanimously passed re-
questing the secretary of the interior
TO give power to the water users as
sociation and the project engineer to
each select one and the two to select
the third which could act as an arbt-
tration committee to locate what land
that should be segregated as unfit for
irrigation: to segregate the seep land
and hold It in suspension from pay
ments until is was drained.
The board then elected President
George w Bruce and Secretary John
]. Tobin to go to Washington to take
up with the secretary of the interior
the ruling of February 18th that home
steaders could not mortgage their
lands and that purchasers of these
lands must be qualified homesteaders
also: as well as all other matters in
connection with the early completion
of the project: to also ascertain why

flYT is an appalling fact that
this institution, preservative
of all institutions, if it is to
be judged by some modern
homes, is actually in danger of
becoming a serious menace to
American life and national right
eousncss. The well-regulated
home, where there is mutual af-
fection and respect, a kind and
just exercise of authority, un-
questioning obedience, mutual
he1pfulne5s, and the cherishing
of those great principles which
lie at the foundation of the
Christian religion, is the only
hope for the larger and national
life Without such homes the
people of this country can not
expect, and have no right to ex-
pect, a government that will
maintain justice, equity, and
right, and whose social order and
institutions will be perpetuated.
For the most part father has
dcgenerated into or been sue
ceeded by daddy or dad who
is merely a convenient fellow,
when he happens to be at home,

ing orders to buy this or that,
and who has no more authority
or influence in the family gov
ernment than one of the kids
While mother-well, as gen
eral rule, nurse has taken her
place in the home, and frequently
an incapable and unconscientious
nurse influence is anything but
good.
"The kids (there are no chill
dren now, instead of being
taught self-denia1, self-restraint,
and respect for others and for
the rights of others, demand and
are yielded the fullest measure
of unregulated liberty and license
and self-indulgence; in other
words, they are practically left
to rear themselves according to
their own sweet wills
Much might also be said of
the lamentable lack of parental
care and oversight as to the
daily and nightly whereabouts of
the larger sons and daughters,
the doubtful character of the en-
tertainments frequented by them,
and the demoralizing literature
admitted into the home, as well
as other threatening evils"

just as the tree buds and then
flowers, and then bears fruit, so
every normal woman expert
ences these instincts to carry on
natures work.
Are you protecting your
daughter?
Do you know what hours she
keeps with her callers, and when
she visits her girl friends, do
you know what places they visit
and who are their escorts, and
what's hour she reaches her
rooms?
If you are parents of small
children, are you giving them
any foundation of good man
ners and agreeable behavior and
kindly instincts, which will make
them tractable students when
they begin to attend school. and
will cause the tendrils of their
young minds to reach up to
lovely qualities, instead of trail
ing down into the dust of sell
fshness and the fnire of i'm
morality?
The most important duties of
parenthood are often cast on the
burdened shoulders of teachers.
Having brought child into
the world and to a school age
is not all the responsibility of
a father and mother. Not even
when accompanied by generosity
and a willingness to pay teach
ers to do the work neglected at
home.
Nothing can ever quite recon-
pense child who has reached
the age of 10 without having re-
ceived the loving, careful train
ing of a patient mother or father
in the small gracious things
which make up daily conduct.
Any parent, however poor,
can teach a child to speak low,
to avoid fiat contradictions, to
be respectful to elders, to sit
correctly, to partake of food 81
lently and enter and leave a
room gracefully. So, too, can
any parent who has right in
stincts, avoid having a child
hear gossip or unkind criticism
or coarse language.
Are you doing all these
things?
