is stated that Denver will have nj
least ten cars In the race and that
there will be a like number from
Colorado Springs. Pueblo win be
represented and Canon City and Flor
ence have promised four cars and
may have more.

roads. which would make a speed
contest dangerous. and because Of the
probable crowded traffic on the dates
on which the derby is TO take place
the committee decided TO practically
eliminate the speed feature. II will
be more Of sociabiiity run than any
thing else. but IL Is not expected
that II win lose any OF It's interest
for the public on that account.

TECHNICAL VIOLATION
OF LAW, COURT DECIDES

DR.. T. 3. Wilson appeared before
Judge J. L. Cooper OF the county
court on Wednesday and pleaded
guilty TO charge Of practicing medI-
cine without license and was given
the minimum fine OF 500.
After DR.. Wilson and the prosecut-
ing witness. wm. j. Ayers of Texas
Greek had told corroborating stories
TO the judge. the court decided that
the violation was purely a technical
one without wilfuI or malicious intent
and therefore he gave the lIghtest
possible sentence under the law.
$50 fine.
DR.. iw1son IN stating the occur
renee said, Il was awakened about
two o'clock one morning after the
latter part OF May by a man who
proved TO be Mr.. Ayers. He was IN
terrible agony and told me he had
some rock in his eye that was driv-
ing him crazy and wanted me to take
It out.
Il placed him on a table and an
examination showed he had a piece
Of granite in the cornea of his ere
/ gave him local anaesthtic. took
pair OF small tweezers and some alb
sorbent cotton. worked the cotton
around the obstruction and gradual
ly got It out.
The man asked me the charge
and I told him two dollars. He said
that IL was such relief TO him that
he felt It worth SO aud gave me that
much.
He went back home and in a day
or two got a letter from him saying
that the eye was infamed and pain
ing him and he wanted me to send
him something to relieve Il. took
the letter to the Corner Drug Store
and told them TO send him something
to clear up the trouble.
That was on Friday believe. On
Saturday or Sunday, not having re-
ceived the medicine Mr.. Ayers came
down TO Canon City and went to
another doctor. A few days later
l was summoned into court for prae-
ticing medicine without license.
1T was Il great surprise TO me
because ! had no intention Of violat-
ing any law. The man was in pair
and agony and II was more a matter
Of helping my fellowman in distress
than anything else when told the
drug store people TO send the medi-
cine. / expected no money for it

RECLAIMInG ORCHARD
PARK LAMB FROM
ALkALI EASY PROCESS

ou; on Orchard Park. where there
is some of the richest soil. and
where some of the most valuable
ranches in this portion OF the valley
are located. a wonderful transforma-
tion is almost magicaiiy being pro-
duced.
In the last two or three years lit
tie patches of alkali. where seepage
has been unusually heavy. have been
showing UP. usually in the corners
of various valuable tracts Of excellent
land. In some places IT has appear
ed in such a place that the corners
four different tracts have been af-
fected.
II Is a natural condition that mus
be expected where the soil for years
and years lay at the mercy Of TIE
sun without a drop OF water TO assu
age its yearning thirst.
When the condition first presented
itself the far-seeing and level headed
men who own these tracts began to
look about for a way to solve the diff
hculty. Much thought and time was
spent by them and It was discovered
that the way TO do it was TO give
an underground outlet TO the seepage
water which was a natural result Of
irrigation.
Drainage tile was decided as the
thing and after many conferences by
the men who owned the land. tiling
was commenced. The men. Of course.
met with strenuous opposition. but
determination orercome it.
Mr.. Z. c. Hiatt =ho owns about
forty acres was the first to try the
plan. Hodgin and Sharman who
are large owners of orcrard and al
falfa tracts in that vicinity tried II .
Mr.. Richard Houle. DR.. @. A. vaw-
ter. Mr. r. J. Craig and others start
ed at the same time. They have had
a number OF men busy for the past
few months and now that most OF
the tile has been In for a little while
the results are already beginning tc
show up.
Land that for lonsl time has been
SO wet that>a bird could hardly ligh;
upon 1t without sinking and so white
that II reminded one Of good Goa,
Of whitewash is now dry and hard
and once more resembles a condition
similar to that before the trouble
began.
Streets that for years have been
impossible are now as dry and as
level as any roadway.
These conditions have been
brought about at a comparatively
small expense in the matter Of tiiing.
The men who backed this success
ful experiment are very much encour
aged with the results thus far OBJ
tanned. They are Of the opinion that
drainage tile has solved the problem
of alkan from seepage water.
