1000 SALOON MEN
IN CHICAGO TO QUIT

Chicago. July S.-Onc of the largest

nounced its retirement from business,
For sixty years this firm has been es,
tablished in Chicago, owning one ct
the largest distillcries in Kentucky. \
year ago the company was offered
81 100000 for its plant and good will.
According to Charles n. Herman,
president of the firm and directing Z
head of the National Distillers' and
Wholesale Liquor Dealers association,
the Chaplin q Gore firm have not dis
titled gallon of whisky in three years.
."We have known that we were sit

man tonight. "The dry propaganda
has been going on right along, and di-
verse legislation has followed until it
has been only a question of time until
we knew we would have to quit
",Before liquor can be sold as whisky
it must have been in bond for four
years. The distillers have not wanted
to stock up with the growing condi-
ton. The supply on hand, if we could
sell all that there is in bond, in this
country, would not last year. Within
sixty days in Chicago alone 1000 sa,

OIL sHAI.E TEST AT DE BEQUE

DeBeque, July 1.-THE Richards x
Flynn Co. after erecting two of the
units of the six units which will COM
prise their first bench of retorts made
a first run of II tons of oil shale,
which resulted in over gallons of
crude oil to the ton. The quality was
most excellent, being of light grade,
and this fact was demonstrated when
they exhausted their supply of gasoline
to operate engine that runs the pump
and switch. This of itself is a telling
testimonial of the quality of the oil
produced. The stock or the Richards
& Flynn Co., which was selling at 80
cents IL share, has been taken off the
market at that price and cannot be OBJ
tained under $1.00 per share. The
above test on a large scale sets at
rest any lingering doubt AS to the
value of the oil shalel industry to west
crn Colorado, and gives assurance that
the element of speculation as regards
treatment of oil shale and by-products
has been removed.

A LOYAL GERMAN

Because man is of German par
entage is not sufficient proof that ne
is traitor to the United States, as
was developed in the investigation OF
"a rough house seeance among the help
at the Hotel Colorado last week.
! Charles PEBBLES, employed as porter
at the hotel, seemed to take it for
granted that Otto Landmusser, the
house engineer, born in this country
of German parents, was conspirlng
against the land of his birth. Otto
reminded him that he was floating
the stars and stripes from his house
and that he was as loyal to this coun-
try as was his accuser. One word
brought on another until a lively mix
lup was the result. ...-...-
Sheriff Fravert took the two men TO
the court house and left them in the
county Jail over night. The next day
he secured a stenographer and took the
testimony Of about dozen employees
who were witnesses to the fracas,
among them one Englishman and one
French Italian. Every one told Il sto"y
favorable to Landmusser, and PEBBLES
WAS 80 badly discredited that he prom,
ised to get out of town at once if given
his liberty. He was released and told
to "beat it, and he hastily complied
with the orders.

CLOSED RIFLE BRIDGE

The county commissioners at theii
meeting this week did but little except
to allow bills and discuss plans for
protecting county bridges and keeping
up the work on the county roads. They
have been to very heavy expense in
protecting some of the bridges and pre-.
venting serious cuts to the roads in
various portions Of the county.
Just at present the Rifle bridge is
the chief bone of contention and the
north pier Of this structure is in a
very serious condition and if it can
Soe saved from topping over it is al.
most certain that it will be of very
little value in supporting the structure
and the bridge will not be safe for
traffic until this pier has been re.
placed OF reinforced in some way.
Considering the present dangerous
condition of the bridge the board felt
obliged to order it closed, and, this
they did by resolution. Repairs will
be made and the bridge opened just
as soon Is possible, but just when,
they win permit the resumption Of traf-
fic the board 10 unable to say.

County Commissioners Deter
mined to Enforce New
Law on Ditch Water
MUST PROTECT ROADS

To the ordinary ranchman and ir-
rigator the great dissideratum has been
attained when the irrigation water
flows through the ditch and across the
generally negligible consideration as
to what becomes of that water after
is has served it's purpose in moistening
the soil and reviving the crops.
Everyone who drives along the coun-
try roads is made distressingly aware
at times of the fact that some ranch
men know little and care less of what
becomes of the water just so long as
ed their purpose and increased their
fields. If it runs off in waste water
in an unreasonable quantity and cuts
and gouges up the roads which have
cost all the taxpayers an immense
amount of money, these careless ranch
men are not concerned, for it has serv-
edtheir purpose and increased their
prosperity and why not let someone else
worry over the disposition of that wat
err? They seem to think they had
trouble enough getting and using the
water and it is foolish to worry about
lit further.
Among this class of people there are
some very good citizens but they have
allowed themselves to fall into very
bad habit, and further than that, many
of them are doubtless ignorant of the
new law, introduced by Senator Kluge
Of Mesa county, and passed by the,
Twentieth General assembly. '-. .
The county commissioners are deteF.'
mined that they will enforce this law
and thus protect the county roads which
have been built ut great expense FOR
the benefit of all the people. They
have brought suit against several VIC.
lators and have convicted and fined
two of these careless ranchmen and It
is hoped and believed that there will
be fewer infractions of the law in the
future.
A great many have not heretofore
understood that they were held respon-
sibe by the law for damage done by
their irrigation or waste water, and in
order that they may be fully appraised
of the requirements of the new act,
a full text of the same is printed here
with:
Sec. THAT no person, persons or
corporation shall wilfully or negligent
ly cause or allow water to flow in any
ditch, lateral, canal, waste ditch, res
ervoir, pond, drain, flume or artificial
watercourse, III on upon any public
road or highway SO as to damage the
same or to cause the same to be incon-
venemt for travel Any person, per
sons or corporation so offending shall,
upon conviction, pay a fine of not less
than ten dollars $1,000 nor more than
three hundred dollars ($300.0OO or be
committed to the county Jail for
period of not to exceed three months.
Each day that water is so allowed to
flow upon any public road or highway
shall be deemed to be separate Of
fense.
Sec. 2.-.Iustices OF the peace Of the
county wherein any of the dffenscs
herein described may be committed
shall have jurisdiction of complaints
coming within the provisions Of this
act.
Sec. 3.-All acts and parts of acts in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
