Gratis and Independents

wood must elect mayor, six trustees,

clerks, were suggested, but both de-
clined the honor The meeting then
designated G. W. Cox and Erie Hub
bard for this position.

their ticket. Ollie Thorson, the present

for the public welfare and while he had
worked hard he said he had not accom-
pliAAed as much as he set out to do ani
he thought. perhaps some other citizen
might be more successful in that re-
spect. -. rse: ,,.f-.: -r.'

Then, too, a community industry
like dairying stimulates friendly riy-

is needed to build larger barns and
houses. and to breed better stock. and
to make more butterfat and larger
profits. Young dairy farmer does not
borrow money to get away. He Dor.

"He is no gambler. And when yoa

also appraise the man and his business.
You want to know something more than

Gib|er and cosper May Pipe
Surplus Gas From DeBeque
to Grand Junction
PLANS FOR sMELTER

The Grand Junction Sentinel of last
Monday revives the plans in which
some of our Glenwood people are more
or less interested, that of utilizing the
surplus gas now escaping from the
DeBeque oil wells, by piping it to
Grand Junction and Glenwood as well
as intermediate points for cooking,
heating and illumination.
This has been the program of the sew
eral oil companies that have been IN
terested in the development of the
DeBeque oil field, but no definite as-
tion has yet been taken looking to that
end. There is no question as to the
supply of gas available and there is 40
question but if the pipe lines were lai.
the people would prove liberal patrons
and would be glad to utilize this nat
ural gas in their homes and business
houses. '.a
The Sentinel article is as follows:
With 100000 cubic feet of natural
gas of high quality going to waste
daily from three different wells near
DeBeque, Harry Gibler and l.. G. Cosper
have interested capitalists in the merit
of their proposition and it is probable
that active steps will be taken in the
near future to utilize this vast quantity
of gas going to wasts.- ;-s.-35
Two propositions are under esasiders-
tion. One is to pipe it to Gand june
tion and the other is to pipe it to Glen
wood Springs and supply people along
this line with natural gas. The Or
timated cost of the Grand Junction line
is $5s,000, this putting in finch line
and the estimated cost of the Glenwood
Springs line is $4,000 Mr. Giblar
stated this noon that the Glenwood line
was being considered equally with the
Grand Junction line for the reason that
there are number of small towns
which would be supplied along this
line Whereas, Palisade and Clifton are
the only towns who would receive their
supply should the line be built to this
city.
Mr.. Gibler stated that of the three
wells they now have in operation, one;
is producing 100000 cubic feet L. day,
and the flow has been proven to be-
constant, while the other two are p-o-
dueing 100000 feet daily.
Another well will be put down this
spring. Mr.. Gibler is authority for the
statement that if the daily flow is in
creased to 100000 cubic feet, the In
dependent Smelter Trust company has
agreed to put in smelter at DeBeqpe
employing l.5NO men. Each well adds
on an average 25O,OG0 feet daily to the
flow.
The water now arising from those.
wells will he pumped into DeBeque res
ervoir as he has demonstrated that 1t
is much purer than the Grand river
water which the city is now using
This will give DeBeque new water
system.

Mr.. Caldwell of Benton City Has q
Pct Ground Hog That Knows a
Thing or Two.
HAS BEEN ALTERNATING
SINCE LAST NOVEMBER
Last Friday 1t Walked Up, Saw It's
Shadow and by Afternoon Dropped
Of to Sleep Again.

That the grounding Is and mas
been for ages the accepted prognos-
ticator of weather conditions during
the six weeks following the early
days OF February no one doubts, but
the exact day has never been uniVer-
sally established.
A few years ago those in authority
in such matters undertook to forever
settle the question that has caused
innumerable discussions and much
heated argument among the knowing
ones by arbitrarily naming February
2 as Ground Hog Day. Many refus-
ed to accept this decree as final and
the unpleasant conditions continued.
Some claimed February l to be the
day, and no amount of argument
could change them.
Now, when the whole world seems
keyed to the breaking tension, ana
the mind of man is strained to the
limit to solve the momentous ques-
tions confronting him, the ground
hog has voluntarily and without pro-
vocation from any known source set
tied the date once and for all time
himself. A few months ago William
Caldwell of Benton City while hunting
captured a real live ground hog, bore
him in triumph to his farm home
in the vicinity of Benton City, and
chuckling in his glee at his good for
tune, as he was somewhat of q
weather prophet himself, Mr.. Cald-
we'll proceeded to build a suitable
home for his pet. For a time the
ground hog wandered about his small
abode and ate and lived as other ami
mails do. But one cold morning in
November Mr.. Caldwell, as had been
his daily custom, looked in on his lit
tie gray pet to find 1t apparently life
less. He communicated the sad news
to Mrs. Caldwell, who reminded him
that his pet was only taking his win
ter's nap. No amount of coaxing
movement in respiration was the only
sign of life, 1t remained in this con-
dition until last Friday morning,
when, Mr.. Caldwell says, 1t came out
from its bed of leaves and was look
ing about its little home. Friday was
a bright day, the sun was shining di-
rectly upon him and he seemed to
enjoy its warm caresses. Later in the
day members Of the family found the
ground hog had returned to its bed
of leaves.
HE HAD SEEN HIS SHADOW.
In addition to Mr.. Caldwell's estab-
lished record for truth and veracity,
many creditable witnesses substanti-
ate the facts as related by him.
All that remains to establish
February as Ground Hog Day, says
w. H. Hutcherson, a prominent mer-
chant of the Prairie City, is for the
authorities at Washington to formal
ly accept Mr.. Caldwell's observations,
which such action will probably be
done at the proper and opportune
time.
