In trying to pass the Raven stage
driven by Mrs. John Stewart Tom
Dsvis ran into the stage on Last Wed
nesday ON the narrow Divide creek
road with his auto, upsetting the stage
and throwing the occupants out. Both
the auto and the team stopped ut
once, otherwise Mrs. Stewart, who was
wedeed in between the overturnsd
wagon and the auto, would have been
severely injured. As it was, neither
her nor her children, who were riding
with her, were hurt. She was driving
a team from the Crawford barn, and
It was lucky that they proved to be

We have a law in Colorado requif-
ing ditch companies to screen their
headgates for the protection Of fish,
q
one pays any attention to it. If trout
are thus allowed to 20 from their ma
tive streams into irrigating bitches
without hindrance, in time they may
pass into the smaller laterals and ev
entually find their way into the fields
where they are left high and dry be-
cause the water sinks into the dry soil.
How many trout are destroyed in this
way every year it is impossible to even
guess, for large numbers may be stran-
ded at night and picked up by noe
turnal providers. So many are seen
in daylight, however, as to leave no
doubt about the harm done by leaving
the intakes of the bitches unscreened.

1t would be a great convenience for
the voting public this fall if the booths
could be provided with a place large
enough for the ballot to be spread out
SO the voters can see what they are
doing Heretofore we have had to vote
our ballot on a board about one fifth
as large as it should be, or hold it up
against the wall, The headless ballot
| is going to puzzle some of the voters
anyway this election, and we would
suggest that an effort be made to have
things as convenient as possible at tne
polls.-Nanassa Free Press
