HIGH line
ELECTS BOARD
Old Directors Indorsed by
Unanimous Reelection
AT STOCKHOLDERS
MEETING MONDAY
Assessment of $3.50 Levied to PRO-
vide for Operating Expenses and
Building of New Dam

The annual meeting of stock
holders of the Rocky Ford High
Line Canal Co. was held in this
city on Monday, and WAS one of
the most harmonious meetings of
this big company that has ever
been held.
As evidence that everything is
moving along satisfactorily to the
High Line it is only necessary to
report that the entire old board of
directors were unanimously re-
elected which bestows high praise
upon W. l.. Sickenberger, G. E.
DeIong, L. d. Hains. w. G. Beatty
and L. f. Weiland.
An assessment of $3.50 per
share was voted for the operation
and maintenance of the canal the
season of 1917, as we'll as approx
imately pay for the new dam up
on which Superintendent Sicken-
berger reported as follows:
Since the old dam at the head of the
canal was first constructed the bed of
the river has. by an infiowing of an en-
ormous quantity of sand, been raised
about four feet. this condition has made
necessary several raises upon the crest of
the dam which is now about five feet
rbove the present floor. These changes
have necessarily weakened the dam.
which is constructed of two rows of
round pllng and one row of sheet piling,
| believe that it's not safe to begin. an
other irrigating season under tn ese con-
ditions. and have. therefore, submit ed
the proposition to the board OF directors.
Three possibilities confronted the board:
One, the rebuilding Of the old dam at a
small! cost: two. new concrete dam at
an enormous cost; three, a wooden dam
at reasonably low cost. After weeks
of thorough investigation and general
discussion the board at its last peeting
awarded to Lee F Williams contract
for tine construction of a new wooden
dam to be built Just above the old one for
the sum of s5.845. Under this contract
the company furnishes all materials which
same will make the total cost os the dam
approximately $4,000. This dam should
give satisfaction for number of years
and with the proper amount of sluicing at
the upper waste gates the canal should,
at all times, take in our oecreed priority
of water"
Following the annual meeting
the board of directors met and
elected the following officers for
the ensuing year:
President and Superintendent-W. L.
Siekenberger.
Vice President-C. E. DeLong.
Secretsry-P. E. Williams.
Treasurer-E. F. Weiland

tanning to School Children
Marks Meeting
The first Parent Teachers meet
ing of this school year was held
in the high school ON Tuesday
evening. There was -s-fair-sized
crowd IN attendance, but what
was lacking in numbers was made
up in enthusiasm by those pres.
ent
A paper containing fourteen
questions was handed each person
and the first one called for discus
sion was No. 9: "Are Swimming
Pools, Gymnasiums and All-the-
Year Fairgrounds Good Things
for Children?" Revs. Weaver
and Stuntz. p. J. Reifel and Oh rs.
Recker gave eloquent talks on the
subject and everyone spoke in
favor of the project. Me ssrs Reifel
and Joehnck each pledged $50
and Mr.. Recker 500 as nucleus
for fund to install these much
needed recreations, which it was
stated were Delng planned by an
association of businessmen.
Question No. II was: "What
form of punishment, if any, should
be received by teen-age pupils
who are Indifferent to proper
school purposes? Is it right to
expect absolute obedience from
Mountaineering children Many
good talks were delivered on this
double question, Lieut.. Felker
telling of how obedience was the
chief necessity in the army and
navy.
Other questions receiving con-
sideration were: "Should the
school day be longer?' How
many cases of tardiness per thous-
and pupils ought to be considered
necessary each month";" "Why
should school buildings remain
idle more than half the time?"
What changes should be made
in our course of study to make it
better adapted to the community?
SHOULD high school students be
expected to regard school work as
business, so that outside activi-
ties are wholly subordlnatef"
Are spelling and peumanship of
enough importance TO require r.
reasonable standard by high school
pupils?"
1t was decided to have but
one parent-teachers organization
in the city and the following Of
fcers were elected:
President-R. j. Walters
Vice President-P. j. Reifel
Secretary -Treasurer-J.E .E. Law
son
The meetings are to be held in
the high school on the first Tues
day in each month. On account
of the next number of the lyceum
course coming Oh the first Tuesday
in January the meeting will he
held on the third Tuesday.
