l.. II. Reich, one of Broomfield's
prosperous farmers, reports a
.monstrosity of the bovine variety
which arrived at his place on last
Friday. A COW gave birth to a
calf which. was minus tail and
the hips were somewhat abbre-
:. Mated. Otherwise the calf seems
all right.

<Some of the farmers of the
e Broomfield district arc anxious to
meet Mr.. Trip, the new county
agent. Some of them went to
Golden Monday on such mis-
sion and failed to find him. The
! Enterprise would suggest that he
have a scheduled place and time
of meeting, if possible, say GER
tain day in Arvada, Broomficld,

@ffc water main of the town OH
Grand View Avenue went on the
blink last Sunday evening about
five O'Clock, at the tramway
tracks. where all at once the eight
inch pipe burstcd and shot out a
big stream of water, flooding the
tramway tracks. George Sinfic1d
was sitting on the bridge at the
time and Marshal Townslcy was
Immediately notified. Before he
could get the water shut off it
had reduced the water in the tank
almost half. A gang of men were
put to work Immediately to. make
repairs. 1t was found that the
entire joint of pipe was in bad
condition, and an examination
was made and it is believed that
the electricity from the tramway
lines is disintcgrating the iron in
the pipes. Two joints of pipe
were required to make the line
strong again. As the line under
the tramway was laid in cement,
it has proved hard task to re-
move the pipe, and in the mean
time several families have been
without water.
A. II. Barth, as chairman of the
local Fuel Committee. received a
letter from w. ]. Galligan. Fed
cral Fuel Administrator for Colo
RADIO. in which he urges the use
of discarded railroad ties for fuel.
and states that he has asked the
cooperation Of several railroads
in the matter with favorable re-
suits. He suggests that the local
committees look up this matter
in their respective communities,
and see whether any ties arc be-
ing burned along the right Of way.
He further suggests that any re-
quests for old ties. il they can
not be supplied locally, be report
cd to him. indicating which rail
road the request is made to. and he
will cndcavor to have the de-
mands complied with. Mr. Barth
is anxious to do his part in this
matter. and any one who is de-
sirous Of procuring railroad ties
for fuel will do well to consult
with him.
