At the residence of Rev. G. A.

united in marriage to Alice S.
Beggs, of Los Angeles, Calf,
only few intimate friends being
present at the ceremony.
This announcement will come
as a surprise to the many friends
hereabouts of DR.. DUNCAN, only
a few persons knowing that he
contemplated such action. Mrs.

ton that many people here had
of the approaching nuptials.
DR.. DUNCAN has been a resi-

AFTER SLOT MACHINES

A delegation visited Mayor
Forbes and Police Magistrate
Smeltzer on Thursday morning,
demanding that they cause the re-
moval of all slot machines now in
operation in this town, claiming
that same were being operated in
direct violation of the state laws.
Slot machines have been operated
in this town for some time but the
committee states that it is their
belief that the last administration
was elected on a reform" ticket,
and that it is their duty to institute
this reform. and that if the city
officials refuse to perform their
duties that the matter will be
placed in the hands of higher
officials.

Gently obtained for damages, and

The Civic Club requested the
passage of an ordinance concern

HOLLY WINS FIRST GAME

The first ball game of the sea-
son was won by Holly on the
home grounds last Sunday, quite
a large crowd being in attendance
and cheering the home boys on to
victory after it had seemed GER
tain that they were doomed to
defeat.
The game was replete with
errors, Holly making four while
Coolidge made eight. Neither
team played up to it's usual
standard and the final score was
IL to 10 in favor of Holly.
The home team shows that
practice will make them into a
team that will be hard to beat.
Considerable new material has
been discovered and in a short
time Holly will be in a position to
challenge any team in the valley
for money, marbles or chalk.

FARM COSTS

The costs of growing an acre
of alfalfa, or beets, or corn, is
something of which nearly every
farmer is ignorant. For the
benefit of those who desire to
know this cost, but do not feel
able to take the time and money
necessary for computing such a
cost, the Experiment Station has
ISSUED bulletin entitled Farm
Costs on the Colorado Agricul-
tural Farm" In making every.
one of these experiments, an
effort has been made to work
them out as nearly under the
rules of the ordinary farm as
possible. Among other tables are
shown the man and labor cost for
irrigating corn and irrigating
oats, and a comparison of these
tables shows that it costs n cents
a ton per man per hour to irrigate
corn, while it only costs Ia cents
per man per hour per bushel to
irrigate oats. A number Of other
interesting tables similar to this
are worked out in the bulletin.
This bulletin may be secured by
writing to the Experiment Station
at Fort Collins, Colorado.

SCHOOL ELECTION

Eighty nine votes were cast at
the school election held last Mon
day, and as predicted in our last
issue Geo. w. Smeltzer and DR..
c.. E. DUNCAN were elected to
serve District No. 6 in the capac-
ity of directors.
This heavy vote despite the fact
that only one ticket was in the
field was due, according to Dame
Rumor, by the fact that it was
feared that a combination had
been formed to write in the names
of other parties, but no such ac-
ton resulted.
The vote is as follows:
Secretary, c. E. DUNCAN, S5.
Treasurer, G. w. Smeitzer, sc.
Several complimentary votes
were cast, L. M. Appel receiving
four and John Duncan one.
The school board have some
hard work before them in the
future as the responsibility of the
construction of the new High
School rests with them. 1t is no
slight task to oversee this impor-
tant work, but this paper believes
that the new board will be found
competent to handle all affairs in
a satisfactory manner.
The call for bids for the High
School building appeared in our
issue of last week, and the con-
tract will be let and work COM
menced as soon as possible. The
architect drawings show that the
building will be a most creditable
one and one of which a town
many times the size of this might
be proud.

WILL INSPECT TOWN

A grand street parade and tour
of inspection of the town of Holly
will be made on Thursday, May
18th, in which the officials of the
town and the various organize
tions will participate.
For some time the Civic Club
has been conducting a clean up
campaign, and the purpose of
this trip is to investigate and see
how we'll this compaign has re-
suited. The trip will include the
various alleys in the town, and
the main parade, which starts
from the Land company garage,
will be led by the Holly brass
band.
tits the intention to make Holly
the cieanest town in the state,
which honor this paper believes
we now hold, and all persons
should take pride in this move
ment and assist in every manner.
The ladies have an announce
ment concerning this grand pa
rade on the last page of this issue.
Read same carefully and enter
into the cleanup campaign.
And, in the meantime, if your
yards and alleys need to be clean
ed NOW is the time to have it
done.

RESERVOIRS ARE FILLED

For the second time since the
building of the system the five
large reservoirs of the Arkansas
Valley Sugar Beet & Irrigated
Land company are now filled,
10000 acre feet Of water having
been run into them during the
past ten months, and the entire
acreage under this system is
assured of a supply Of water for
several years at least.
At the present time these is
available from these reservoirs
10000 acre feet OF water and the
81, 900 acres of land under the
system have already received
their first irrigatioa, so the supply
will not be drawn lpon for some
time.
1t is hard for the average per-
son to realize the magnitude of
this reservoir system. The reser-
voirs completely submerge 13, 700
acres of land; the depth in the
deepest place is about 100 feet
and the largest body of water is
over five miles wide. These
reservoirs at present look like the
ocean and last Sunday, when the
writer had the pleasure of view
ing same, the wind was driving
the water across same in large
waves, the whitecaps, breaking
upon the shore in truly ocean
like manner.
The reservoir system was COM
pleted in 1898, at a cost of a trifle
over $500,0OO but the water
supply was such that they were
not completely filled until 1908, or
ten years after completion. The
water supply first runs through
the Fort Lyons canal, but enters
the reservoir through the main
canal of the company. A splendid
working agreement is now in
effect with the directors of the
Fort Lyons, and saf agreement
is due to Manager Partridge of
the A. V. company, who succeed
ed is settling several slight diff
ficulties which had arisen before
his arrival.
1t is stupendous task to fill
the reservoirs and the men en-
gagged in the task were obliged to
labor with might and main for
the past ten months to accomplish
same. No opportunity to secure
water has been neglected and the
smallest flow obtained was in
January, when only 5000 acre
feet could be secured. The
largest flows obtained were 22,-
600 and 20,0 in one month.
The reservoirs could hold a
slight amount of water as yet,
but the danger point is near, so
the flow is to be stopped today.
Whenever possible in the future
the water will be run into same
as fast as used and undoubtedly
there will always be a good
supply stored hereafter.
Manager Partringe deserves
great praise for his accomplish
ment. He is responsible for the
success which has only been OBJ
tained by hard work and careful
planning.
