GRAND RIVER
Still RISING

The Grand river continued to rise
last evening. During the night Il
rise of an inch was reported. This
morning the government water
gauge registered 10 feet, even. which
was slight drop from yesterday.
The high water has forced Adams &
owens, who have the sugar factory
yards this year to move all their
cattle from the place where they
have been kept to a higher level.
More than | 900 were moved yester-
day. The danger lies chiefly in the
fact that when they went to drink
there was danger that the waters
would carry them away.
The water is playing havoc with
the line of beautiful woods
which are along the river at this
point.
The fight to save the Fruita road
continues. This morning Commits
sioner Snyder went down there and
sounded the depth and found that 1t
is Ia feet deep In the right of way.
The railroad is working might and
main to save their track. Reports
from the Denver weather office are
to the effect that the river will touch
high water mark in the course of a
week.

WANT RAILING ON
NEW PARK FOUNT

\ movement which is rapidly
growing into concerted action is be-
ing started by the neighbors around
the city park at Gunnison and Fifth
to have the city place a railing or
other suitable fence around the foun-
tain in the center of the park.
The residents claim that the chill
dren from the smallest toddler up
persist in walking around on the
edge OF the fountain which is wide
enough to permit il. Several times
recently little children have nearly
fallen to the water, which is deep
enough so that a small child would
stand no chance of escaping should
il chance to fail in.
A small iron railing placed on
the top of the cement would not
mar the beauty of the fountain in
any way and would remove all dan
ger of a serious accident, they say.
as the children would then be forced
to stay on the outside There are
several spots in the fountain where
the water is much deeper than It is,
at the edges.

MEDIATION IS
I. HALTED BY
DISPUTE

Niagara Falls. Ontario, Canada.
May 26.-The sudden halt in the pro-
ceedings before the peace mediators
today caused much speculation. The
Mexican delegates have prepared to
issue formal statement explaining
their position on the land question
and regretting il Is clearly impossible
to give guarantees as to the action
OF the new sovereign government,
but at the last minute 1t was decided
to issue no statement. American
delegates conferred with the media
tors. The conference was secret. but
IL was obvious that more definite as
surances respecting the land question
must be given to meet the declared
purpose of Wilson. Little doubt is
felt by the participants in the con-
ference that plan will be worked
out for continuance of negotiations.
1T is well to not let the Agrarian
question disrupt the mediation pro-
ceedings," said one of the Mexican
delegates. | think there Is a way of
coming into common accord on this
and other perils so that we may
complete the work very shortly"

II, S. Plumb and his son-in-law
w. E. Miller, We're enjoined from
making crossing on the Rio
Grande tracks at the portal of the
tunnel east OF Palisade by Judge
Cavender this morning. The injunc-
tion is temporary and was granted
on request of the Rio Grande who
claimed that the crossing was so
near the tunnel that 1t was a source
of danger. and that II an accident
occurred they would be forced to
assume liability.
An effort will be made to reach
a compromise, as the crossing is nee
essary for the ranchmen to go to and
from their ranch.
