OEWEESE DYE DITCH
MAKES IMPROVEMENTS

At a meeting of the members OF
the board Of directors of the Deweese
Dye Ditch and Reservoir company at
the office of the First National bank
last Saturday afternoon it was voted
to add four feet of stone and con-
crete work to the company's impound-
ing dam at the head of Grape creek
in the Wet Mountain valley for the
purpose of increasing its supply of
water for irrigation uses. 1t was de-
cided that the company could save
considerable money by doing the work
itself and c. NJ. Rice of Lincoln Park,
president of the board of directors,
was chosen to take charge of the un-
dertaking.
Mr. Rice will assemble the men
and material needed for the work as
soon as possible and is expected to
go 10 the Wet Mountain valley next
week and assume the direction OF
construction operations. How many
men will be employed in connection
with the job is not known. but it is
expected as many as twenty-five or
thirty.
II is estimated that the cost of the
enterprise to the company will be
somewhere between four and FIVE
thousand dollars. The reservoir is
full TO overfiowing at present and a
large volume of water in addition to
what is being used by the stockhold-
ers of the company is flowing over
the diversion dam at the intake in
lower Grape creek canon and finding
an outlet in the Arkansas river. II
is to provide against a possible short
tge of water for irrigation during the
summer of 1918 that has actuated the
company to take steps at this time to
increase its storage possibilities.

pounding dam four feet will add inn

BLACK BEAR KILLED IN
WET MOUNTAIN VALLEY

A black bear weighing more than
200 pounds was killed by James Now
and Harry Mccormick at the Nov
ranch. four miles north of Hillside
in the Wet Mountain valley. shortly
after six o'clock last Saturday morn
ing 1t was the first bear killed IN
that vicinity for thirty years and the
affair created considerable interest
among the people of the neighbor-
hood.
The bear was first seen by Mr.. Nov
about two hundred yeards from his
house and he procured his rife and
started after it. The bear. realizing
that it was being pursued. lost no
time in seeking protection among the
foothills of the Continental divide,
short distance away. Mr.. McCor.
mick joined in the chase and the two
men got a large number of long dis
tance shots at the animal in a run
ming fight before his career was I'm
ally brot to an end. Two shots took
effect. but which of them was the
fatal one it is impossible to say. as
both were in the region of the heart
The carcass was taken to Florence,
where its was sold to John Bald. the
well known butcher and market man
1t was an hour from the time the
bear was seen until II was killed
which may be assumed to have been
about the most exciting sixty minutes
in the experience of the two hunters
who stopped its fight.

DEMoNsTRA-
lion HELD ON MONDAY.

Under the supervision of County
Agriculturist Ralph r. Jeffries
grasshopper demonstration was held
on the Albert Lehrer ranch in the
Hardscrabble district on Monday to
show the efficiency of the poisoned
bran mash in getting rid OF these
pests of the hay and grain fields.
The Lehrer ranch is located about
two and half miles this side of Wet

others were there on Monday to wit
ness the demonstration. which was a
great success.
The formula for mixing the mash
follows: Paris green two pounds:
bran. fifty pounds; syrup. four quarts:
lemons. ten; water. FIVE gallons.
Grasshoppers are unusually abund-
ant in some sections OF the county
this year and the members of the

meeting on Wednesday evening of
this week will order Paris green in
wholesale quantities for the purpose
of poisoning them.
MIR. Jeffries says the haying season
will begin in the Hardscrabble terri

famous lecture in the world, Acres

nient of that contract.
In an interview with the New Yor K
Sun DIR. Conweil revealed the follow
ing other interesting facts about the
lecture:
81 lectured at first in churches and
summer hotels. and often twice a day.
bu, for small fee. Once l was paid
with a smoked ham, and at another
time with a note for $3.50. which still
remains unpaid The greatest income,
previous to this year, on any one
lecture was an independent lecture

est straight fee from committee was

Lake City in 1872. One year a veal

GOV. ALVA ADAMS MAKES
INTERESTING COMMENT ON
PEOPLE AND THE WEST

A personal letter from Gov. Alva
Adams of Pueblo to Mr.. Hardy OF
The Record contains such interesting
comments on people in general and
the West in particular that we are
taking the liberty of reproducing it
altho it certainly was not written for
publication.
The letter follows:
Ny dear Mr.. Hardy:
The Three Tours of DIR. Syntax''
is dull compared TO your Nine Days
in New York. Washington. etc" l
read 1t as fully as l read Ed .Howe's
travels. More cannot be said.
You certainly had an interesting
time. 1t is good to see he people who
are making our history. In meeting
famous people the thing that impress
Is me most is their likeness to the
folks we know.
Fate puts them on a different stage.
places responsibilities in their hands,
and they meet them as man from
Canon City. Pueblo or Denver would
do under like responsibilities. Ability
is not geographic. There is little diff
ference between men of the East and
West except that the western man is
really the eastern man with a little
broader horizons little less proYin-
cial.
Last week was great week for
Colorado. Eastern editors and my per-
sonal correspondents have charged the
West of being Indifferent, almost yel-
low and treasonous. regarding the war
The fact is they do not understand the
West. In spite of all tradition. the
West is not wild and woody; il is not
as noisy. It is not given so much to
yelling and parade as the East, but it
is not afraid and 1t is not indifferent
when the test comes.
We do not fail or hold back. The
history of the West is its vindication.
In the Civil war the 5000 volunteers
coins call was the largest per centage
enlistment of any state in the union.
In the Spanish war 1t was California.
Colorado and the West that led
II will do its part now. In Liberty
bonds and Red Cross we did not lack.
In Red Cross Pueblo was assigned
nearly double what its population jus
tified. but we met the demand with
$105.000. Half of this came from
wages OF workmen. Perhaps 10000
gave a days wages. 1t was a nne
patriotic thing to do.
The dollars We give are sanctihed
by honest toll and honest business
and they are dedicated to humanity
and liberty. No. the West is not
stingy and IL is not timed.
America is not sordid. II is the
most generous. the freest spender the
world ever knew. 1t loves country
more than dollars. 1, knows the cost
OF liberty and is willing to pay the
price
Forgive. my wordness. but getting
etarted II is hard TO stop.
