Transferred to Commissioners.

In pursuance of that policy. that Sec
tion of the road extending from the
old Georgetown reservoir to the Fox
hall road has been formally transferred
to the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia for use as part of the regu-
lar street system of the District, and
that section of the road from the
Georgetown reservoir to the District
line has been opened for the installa-
tion of instrumentalities of public con-
venience, such as gas mains. electric
conduits. etc. The latter section, how
ever. will remain under complete fed
eral control and jurisdiction. The sec
missioners Is no longer needed for the
purposes of the Washington aqueduct.
the water supply now being transferred
by another route from the Georgetown
reservoir to the filtration plant near
the Soldiers Home.
1t was the view of the army engineers
and the District Commissioners. that
the transferred section, on account of
the development of private property
along the road, should be treated as a
public street in the interests of the
adjacent landowners, but that the gov
eminent should retain control of the
section from, and including, the George
town reservoir to the District line.
Col Flagler, the District engineer, has
prepared regulations to govern the is
sue of rerocable permits for the laying
of gas mains. etc. designed to protect
the aQueduct and its appurtenances and
esta blishing the liability of the bene-
hciaries for all damages.

GAS MAINS MAY BE LAID
TO THE DISTRICT LINE
Concessions Granted in Interest Of

Following the recommendation of Cen
William NJ Black. chief of engineers of
the army. the Secretary of War has
adopted a policy for the more liberal
use by the public of that portion of the
Conduit road within the limits of the
District. extending from Foxhall road
to the District line. That road is built
on the right of way acquired by the
general government for the Washing

the government officers in the opera
tion of the water supply system and.
although used generally by the public.
never has legally acquired the status of
a public highway.
In recognition. however, of the fact
that the territory through which it
passes has been thickly settled. mainly
because of its existence, the officials in
charge have decided to extend its uses
to the public wherever 1t can be done
without detriment to the operation of
the aqueduct or the interests of the
government

That the farmers OF Boulder county
and 1eighboring counties appreciate
the efforts of the fair association was
evidenced by the generous patronage
given. Such an array Of farm exhibit
ton matter as greeted the eyes OF the
visitor to the fair was astounding. The
interior OF the building al beautiful
ly decorated; hundreds Of exhibits of
farm produce we're tastefully arrang-
ed, and one standing on the stage,
gazing upon the brilliant scene, and
realizing that but a short year before,
upon the same spot there had existed
nothing but a vacant waste, could not
but be deepely impressed by the scene
itself and by a realization of the pro-
found spirit Of which it was the visit
ible evidence.
There has been other fairs, and
there have been other fair buildings;
this is not the first municipal audito-
rum that was eve built, but the
Longmont people, and by this is meant
the united people, rural and urban,
question very honestly whether there
was ever any fair or any other build
ing which of itself meant so much to
the community, and into which the
community had thrown SO much Of
the beart-throbs Of the people
The auditorium, as 1t stands today,
is a monument to the community idea.
Beautiful In architecture, commodious
staunchly built, easily accessible to all
parts OF town, utilitarian in prospect
and reality, 1t epitomizes the spirit Of
the own and stands a visible emblem
of higher, cleaner community living

as seven times over to keep weeds

WHY FALL GRAIN BLOWS OUT,

II everyday were as enthusiastic over
dry farming as l am the greater pro-
portion of Colorado's vast plains would
be growing crops and what a harmon
ious Transformation 1t would all prove
to be. We are gradually coming to
1t but oh, 80 many are making failures
that are not unavoidable but because
they are just lacking in a little com
mon sense. This is a little plain
speaking but 1t is true. / have neigh
bors living close by whom l have been
trying for years to induce to prepare
their ground as l do for fall wheat.
They will either pillow too early and
then let the ground grow up to weeds
or put off blowing until 1t is too late
to insure a crop which can easily be
done.
II weat is sown too late 1t does not
become rooted well 1t is likely to blow
out just as a field adjoining me on the
west is doing today. My wheat just
across the fence is not being faxed in
the least by this hard wind. l use a
disc pillow while the neighbor uses a
mold board. l do not want my ground
turned bottomside upwards. I want
the old weat stubbles to help hold the

MARKETS.

Cattle-The cattle market started
with a bang and everything moved rap
idly at an increase of 40 cents over
the previous week. Grain fed steers
sold at $3.50 while hay feds moved at
$S15. Cows made a s~plurge and quite
a number of head went at $3.50. Heif-
ers are to he recognized also as some
good tsuff went at $7.75. Bulls wen
up to the 6 lent mark.
Hogs-The hog market was a little
slow in starting but 500 picked up
at an increase in price. Two loads
of top hogs sold at 1895 while the
bulk went at 1915. A light run of
300 head were received at the yards
Monday. Market strong.
Sheep-There were not enough sheep
ON the market for the buyers to take
notice of. Lamb market strong with
choice lambs quoted at 10 cents, ewes

high birth rate OF able-bodied mos
quitoes, q collection Of civic debris,
and a general air OF anemia. In the
palmy days OF yore this driving park
had been the scene Of many lively
sessions, but of late had fallen under
the ban; that is, al concerned invest
ment in equine futures.
The park commission was willing
to rejuvenate this park, was perfectly
willing. but was broke. The members
realized how badly improvement was
needed and were heart and soul fl
favor OF any movement that would
bring results.
Having these agencies 1T work, these
demands to be supplied, there remain
ed the task of correlating and organ
izing the efforts. This ask was ac-
complished by the Longmont CONNER
cial Association. The association put
a special committee at work which
went into executive session with itself
and finally evolved a working plan
which satisfied everybody. This plan
hinged upon the organization OF a fair
association, as has already been indi-
Gated, which was to raise the money.
Comprehensive plans for the beauti-
fication OF the driving park were drawn
up, which included a plan for an audi
forum. or agricultural hall, and tenta-
fiua Milan for Athar hftt1dfnno
The auditorium was built and the
landscape Improvement work was be-
gun. which is " going some" as a re-
suit of an effort covering only five or
six moths of time. The Commercial
association committee began It's Or
ganization work In February and the
auditorium was completed in the mid
die of August.
The building was constructed Of fir,
drop siding, stained a warn brown,
with white trimmings. The dimen-
sions are "a feet by 100 feet, with 10
feet between foundation and roof plate.
II has a seating capacity Of 1000,
which may be increased 80 per cent
by the construction of galleries, for
which provision was made. The ros-
from Of the building is "a feet by so
feet. and proportionately high. The
acoustic properties are exceptionally
good The roof is covered with white
genasco asbestos roofing material. In
designing the interior the architect has
endeavored to express something of
the festival as well as the unitarian
character OF the building In follow
Ing this thought he has concentrated
ornamentation upon two towers. No
effort was made TO hide the stage or
other roof parts and the building, con-
sequently, In a way, expresses the use
for which It was intended. The furni-
ture OF the building is movable; when
In use for auditorium purposes COM
Portable seats may be placed, and
when used Ii an exhibition building
these may be removed and tables and
exhibit paraphernalia substituted.
