the kindly feeling of the citizens
Of Julesburg aud vicinity, SO
often shown Us on Memorial day
during the past years; we now
wish through you to express our
sincere gratitude for their time
and expense devoted to the prop

and the decoration of the gravea

Ten years ago, when | first
came to Julesburg, we could
muster about thirty veterans re.

then take the lead, and assisted

school children, and properly
observe the day.
Since that time, however most
Of our comrades have answered
the last call one by one, they have
been laid away in their final
resting place, and o.day there
remain only five of us, and we
now realize that we are too feeble
to undertake an elaborate pro-

we can do is to go quietly and
silently OH May 3Oth and lay q

STOPS wild cATTlNC"
New lssigatioa Law Adoptsd
BY Arizona viii Remedy
Many Evils

We have read with great deal
of pleasure an account written by
Prof. Smith, irrigation engineer
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Arizona. in which he
tells of the proposed irrigation
law for the state. From the ac-
count, it would seem to us that
this law embodies all that is good
in the irrigation laws of most of
the Western states and leaves out
that which is bad. The bill pro-
vides for state water board.
This board is made up Of the
governor, state engineer and the
corporation commission. 1t will
be the duty of this state water
board to fix the priorities of the
present bitches and all new APP
propriators must make applica-
ton for permit from this board
to divert a certain amount of
water. The state engineers office
will have or obtain data concern
ing the unappropriated water in
that particular Stream. If there
is unappropriated water there,
the permit will be granted If not,
it will be refused, or will be
granted on condition that the ap-
plicants build a reservoir and
store the food water. If this
water commission rightly handles
the problem, it will protect the
water users as we'll as prevent
wild cat" irrigation schemes
that have been so detrimental to
some Of the other Western states.
1t seems to us that Arizona is on
the right track and if she can
pass the law as proposed, she will
relieve herself of much litigation
inthe future.-F. B. House, Col
orado Agri. Col, Fl. Collins, Colo.

Why Couldn't We :?

Why couldn't we organize II
band? Julesburg has the talent
if somebody will only take the
initiative and startit. Other places
smaller than this are organizing
and getting ready for the sum-
mer season, Of fairs, chautauques,
picnics and best of all weekly
concerts.
The business men in most
places come 10 the front on a pro-
position like this by subscription,
it being to their interests and
very paying proposition. Where
a dollar is expended on a local
band. the returns are sure, by
bringing in people by the score
from all rural districts and towns.
The Grit-Advocate is a booster
for this proposition and if It is a
go, will advertise it in moro
ways than one. Lets US get the
Hometown spirit NOW.

MRS. SuSANNAH PORTER
Died At Her Hoase Here Wed.
nsssay. Laid 10 Rest in
Arrows,nith, 10.

Funeral services were held from
the late home last Thursday after
noon in charge Of Rev. Bretnall
and the remains were taken to
Illinois on No. IL Thursday.
Susannah Young was born on
April Is, 1888, in Dark Co. Ohio,
not far from Dayton, and passed
away May Il, 1915, at her home
in Julesburg, Colo. She was mar
ried to Ruben Lawry Porter, Sept.
2, 1851. After marriage they mov-
ed to Illinois in the spring Of 1852,
making their home there until the
death of Mr.. Porter, Jan .2S, 1898.
On the same farm they lived to-
gether for AZ years. A mile and
half from this farm is the cem-
etery in which Mr.. Porter was laid
to rest and to which Mrs. Porter
will he taken to find her place be-
side her husband. Ten children
have been born, five of whom are
still living, the rest having pro-
ceded their mother to the better
land. The names of those living
are Mrs. Virtue Scott, William o.
Porter, Mary E. Porter, Rev John
Porter and Mrs. Susannah Frank
lin. Mrs. Porter came west i'll
1900 for health reasons and since
that time has spent most Of the
time in the west. She settled in
Julesburg in October 1918.
Mrs. Porter was converted dur
ing her childhood. 1t was her
delight to speak of the times when
as a child she sat upon her faith
er's lap and talked about the Saw
ior. Her conversion was unusu-
ally clear and bright for child
and it gave character to her whole
christian life, which was long and
full of the blessings of God. Hav-
ing Joined the church when but
a child, she grew up in it, giving
her heart and soul to its activities,
living in close fellowship with
God, she always had testimony,
and during revival efforts, God
honored her personal work, 90
that many, in the day Jesus
Christ, will rise up and call her
blessed. She was instrumental in
leading her own children to the
Savior.
Old age crept on apace and in
November last she had slight
stroke. Together with the grip
an added strokes the end was
FASTENED, but death had no ter
rors for her. It was not q dreary
and forbidding thing but sweet
release from bodily pain and
suffering. The end came quietly,
the breath simply ceased and
Mother Porter went home. A
vision of God filled her soul With
delight ere the spirit took its
fight, the features still betraying
sweet peace and joy which she felt.
Characteristic of her christian
life is the hymn we SO often sing,
peace, perfect tpeace," it il mum.

The Anchorage papers are also attacking the Alaska Road Commission but they give the whole thing away when they show that they do for the purpose of getting most of the money of the commission spent at Anchorage This even might be condoned they would only not try to injure Seward in their fight for their own town The Anchorage papers openly say that Colonel Richardson would be wasting money to build road from Seward to Kena lake and these same papers have Seward people backing them their fight In the issue of October r the Daily paper over there hints that politics only could give the two Ford cars at Seward road to Kena and in the issue of the 18th the same paper says should not get such road People who say Seward is attacking Anch orage might read this and get lesson. They might also see the motive behind the attack Colonel Richardson The following is an excerpt from the editorial of October l3 in the paper alluded to:
 Seward is advocating automobile road from that point to Kena lake The proposed road would probably be employed more for pleasure than anything else to give the inhabitants of the Resurrection bay town chance to take auto ride occasionally Before constructing any roads for mere pleasure the Alaska road commission will do well to give roads and trails that necessary to the development of the country. If the Seward people must have an auto ride let them take the auto car on the rail way Gne.'

RATES NEEDED ON THE
 RAILROAD TO OPEN COAL

Alaska has the coal
 It will soon have a railroad to the coal.
 Congress has passed a leasing law for development of coal mines.
 Consumers need the coal.
 But most likely Alaskans will con tinue to buy British Columbia coal for some time. Mir. Albert Johnson, con gressman from Washington, who has been to the westward says that the members of the engineering commits sion have no authority to make any rates.
 Naturally those taking leases for coal before they spend a few thousand or few million dollars in opening up coal want to know what it will cost them to get 1t hauled to tIdeWalet' They must expect to compete with coal and California oil and transpor- tation is one of the main essentials of cost.
 Since the engineers have powers only to build railroads and not make rates, it will be necessary to get through legislation from Congress be- fore any guarantee of rates can be as smed coal and other shippers.--Ju- neau Dispatch.

Influences in Kentucky Dem
ocratic Party Demand Sub
mission to The People.
REMOVE FROM POLITICS
Urged That Both Prohibition
and Woman's Suffrage Be
Put Up to The Voters.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 20.-Proba-
bly, no greater, or more serious polit-
ical problem ever confronted the peo-
pie of Kentucky than that which has
developed here this week in the de-
mand of certain powerful influences
within the democratic party for sub
mission by the legislature to the vot-
ers of Kentucky constitutional amend
ments for the establishment Of prohi-
bition and woman's suffrage.
TIE effect OF this unt oected (ev -
opment, coming suddenly and imme-
diately after the national election, il
appears, however. was not the re-
suit of "snap judgment, but rather
carefully considered and matured
plan for the settlement, for all time to
come, of these two questions.
The situation is clearly set forth in
The Times, which asserts the belief
that the agitation of these issues has
reached a point where their settle
ment will do more to clear the air of
Kentucky, politically and commerce.
ally, than any other agency. While
the suffrage question is not consider
ed very seriously-in fact i is viewed
more of fad than an issue-there
seems to be grim determination to
rid politics in Kentucky of the thorn
of prohibition, which, undoubtedly
would be a point gained toward bet
ter government.
In brief, Kentucky democracy has
shown what il can do when united
and there is every indication that thi:
movement to submit the amendments
to the voter for a decision will sue
coed thus in removing them as OBJ
Structions TO legislative progress ano
at the same time Obviate any menace
of a division in the party in the fu
ture.
| However, it is not possible to taxi
jany legislative action before the regu
lar session of the legislature in 1918
In the meantime the people of tn
state will have full opportunity t.
view the prohibition question iron
all angles before casting their vote il
1919, which would be the earliest a
election could be held, provided tn
legislature decided upon Submissio
of the amendments.
A veritable cyclone of discussion
views and opinions has followe
these proposals.
