near beating the atuo to Cheyenne,

A "straw vote' taken of the stock
holders of the. Divide Creek High Line
Ditch Co., indicates that the Hunter
mesa people will not be given q right
Of way through the High Line ditch to
convey their water to the mesa. This
brings matters to . standstill for the
present. Just what the Hunter mesa
people will do now is . question. OF
course if they should conclude to take
the matter into the courts, they would
be given . right Of way, snd the cssFt
would determine the amount that should
be paid for the same. This, however,
is thing the Hunter mesa people Are
prone to do, - they prefer "pescs At

A. J. Dickson of the Glenwood Post
is to be congratulated upon his recent
appointment as irrigation engineer for
division 5. The appointment was nads
by Governor Carlson for the full tern
Of four years without personal solieits-
tion ON Mr.. Dickson's part. He 10 we'll
qualified for the position, having held i
before for six years, and the appoint
ment gives general satisfaction in the
Glenwood Springs district, where Nj.
Dickson is well known. He is An earn
est, conscientious worker Is 4 newspa-
per mana writer Of considerable
force, with . pardonable fondness for
his own party and the principles for
which it stands. 1t is refreshing to
know that Mr.. Dickson merely filed his
application for the position with the
governor and that his friends and his
own record did the rest-an innovation
in matters political that is worthy Of
emulation.-Palissde Tribune.
The Glenwood Avalanche remarked
last week in connection with the ap-
pointment of Andy Jackson Dickson -
division irrigation engineer that the
job was one known ~ q snap, but that
Dick" might just - we'll have the
job Is any Republican. Sure, but the
Avalanche man might have enlarged
somewhat ON his statement and told
how useless this Office really is and thas
the $500 per annum salary perqaiai.s
attached thereto is not now and never
has been IN iota Of value to the tax
payers. A political sinecurs created
during the early history Of this state
whoa the chief ambition Of the legis-
lators was to see how many jobs could
be created in order that the spoils Of
Office should be widely distributed.
Governor Carlson has talked leae and
loud about what he and the Colosalo
g. O. p. would do towards reducing
state expenses by abolishing useless
Offices, but results along this particular
line Of endeavor are not Of record;
moreover, if the intent was Simon pure,
. good beginning would be to throw in
to the scrapheap the job of division
engineer.-Rifle Telegram.
