The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-06-01

Another big rain! Last Monday af-
ternoon total of LAP inches of rain
fell in Julesburg within exactly twen-
ty-three minutes, according to Frank
Deich, the local Cooperative Weather
Observer. 1t was a terrific downpour,
almost on the order of cloud burst.
AS result number of the streets
in Julesburg were flooded with water,
and in several places the sidewalks,
yards and Easements were inundated.
Water running down from the hills
on the north table caused the Peterson
ditch to overflow, and for an hour or
so large amount of water rushed
down the streets of Julesburg. The
building occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H. Pound at the corner of Pine and
Second streets was in the path of the
stream as we'll as the Twomey Hotel
at the corner of First and Pine streets,
the water running underneath these
buildings. However, only slight dam
age was done.
Persons going to their homes in the
northwest part Of the city Monday
evening used various means in reach.
ing their destination, the water being
deep enough at the street corners and
crossings to make it impossible to
cross on foot without getting wet. Al
one corner boys coaster wagon was
used by a gallant man to transport
ladies across the flooded area. The

remember them. We dare not for our
own integrity's sake, we who sent
them out with song and music and
prayers, deal out to them less than
justice, yea and justice that must
be not bare but generous and over
flowing justice. We will remember
them rightly when we inculcate devo-
ton to the right and the noble, when
we kindle and foster in the hearts of
the young the holy flame of patrio-
tism. We will remember them rightly
in dedicating ourselves to the highest
interests of our country and of hu-
manity. The work is not all over. The
world is still seething with unrest.
To take one instance Armenia, an an
cient Christian nation is being done to
death by the Turk. America, the great
the strong, the big brother has some
responsibility toward her as America
recognized she had toward Cuba. We
will remember them rightly by being
faithful. If not will they sleep "tho
poppies grow in Flanders Fields"
"A legend of Francis Drake per-
sists along the seacoast from which
he went out on his sea adventures.
When he died he bade them hang his
drum by the sea wall at Plymouth and
whenever his country was in need and
the drum was struck he would rise
from the darkness under the sea ten
thousand miles away" and come. So
if we are recreant in the hour of
Americas need almost it would seem
that, crippled and blinded and manned
from treading the winepress of Shi-
| loh, from the agony of the wilderness
from Gettysburg, "the reddest day
in history" from the fiery furnace Of
the Argonne, from the poppy blos-
somed fields of Flanders, from VAL
hallas beyond the sea and at home
they would arise and come as they did
before.
"But the "embalmed and sainted"
dead need not come for holding them
and their work in tender and fruitful
remembrance we will by Gods help
and as God gives US to see our duty
keep the torch of fidelity burning and
hand it on undimmed to those who
come after"
The morning program was conclud-
ed by a selection rendered by the band,
the singing of America and The Star
Spangled Banner by the audience,
Benediction was pronounced by Rev.
Waller.
In the afternoon a number of our
citizens went to the Hillside and Re-
servation cemeteries, where the graves
were strewn with flowers.

NEARLY INCH AND ONE
HALF RAINFALL HERE in
TWENTY THREE MINUTES

~iter receded at about eight o'clock
Monday evening.
The rain Monday afternoon was of
local nature. Reports from Ovid and
the section west of Julesburg were
to the effect that there was only
sprinkle in that vicinity. However,
rain which was general throughout
this section fell Monday night and
Tuesday morning, the precipitation re-
gistered in Julesburg being one-half
inch, while an even larger rainfall was
reported in other parts. Some hail
fell, but only slight damage is re-
ported. The total precipitation here
Monday and Monday night was 1872
inches
Again Wednesday night this section
was visited by about one-half inch of
rainfall. To be exact, according to
Frank Deich, local weather man, the
total precipitation for the night was
Az inches. This makes a total of
2.34 inches during the week.
With the abundance of moisture
which this community has been bless
ed during the past several weeks,
coming just at the right intervals,
there are indeed glowing prospects for
bumper crops in this fertile section,
and there is general feeling of re-
joicing upon the part of the farmers
| and all our citizens.

FEATURE ATTRACTION TO
BE PLAY "FRIENDLY ENE-
MIES'' BY ALL-STAR CAST
Five-Day Session Commences With Friday After
noon Program and Ends Tuesday Night;
Redpath- -Horner Assures Local Committee
That Entertainment This Year Will Be of
High Class Nature

According to information recently
received here from the Redpath-H -Hor-
ner Chautauqua Bureau, the dates of
the 1922 chautauqua in Julesburg will
be July 7-8-9-10-11. There will be five
days of afternoon and evening pro-
grams, beginning on Friday afternoon
and ending Tuesday evening.
A definite program for the five days
has not vet been received, but will be
announced in the near future through
these columns. However, Redpath-
Horner assures the local committee
that some very high-class talent will
be seen on the platform here. We are
informed that the feature attraction
will be the play Friendly Enemies"
presented by an all-star cast. Those
Who have heretofore seen this play
will vouch for it being one of the best.
Il behooves the citizens of this
community to get behind the chautau-
qua this year and assist in putting 1t
scross without loss to local citizens,
thirty in number, who have guaran-
tsed its financial success. Each Of the
thirty signers have agreed to dispose
Of their pro-rata share of the season
tickets, and they individually will be
the losers if they fail to do so. These
thirty signers are deserving of your
cooperation, as their signatures were
affixed to the contract for purely COM
munity spirit reasons.
A meeting Of the guarantors of this
years chautauqua was held Wednes-
day evening at the Austin & Mccoy
furniture store, and an organization
affected. G. H. Austin was elected

committee and W. W. Vaught secre-

by CHAIRMAN M,ANENY.

There have been some black pages in
the history Of city government in the
United States. But ] doubt whether
throughout that history there has ever
been an instance in which the head Of a
city government. knowing the truth has
been willing with such utter shameless
ness TO deceive the people whose affairs
he has I'm trust
He speaks OF the 'duar contracts,
and of the sums carried in the budget
FOR the payment of interest upon the
bonds issued by the city for the con-
struction Of the present subway system
lie says these contracts were signed by
me in March. 1913. They were signed on
behalf Of the city not by me. but by Ed
ward Il. Mccall. then chairman OF the
Public Service Commission. and later
Democratic candidate for the mayoralty
"a man Of honor and probity, thorough
ly devoted to the interests Of the city.
and utterly incapable Of the sort of prac-
tices that have marked the conduct OF
the present Mayor.
"Of my own part in the creation OF the
dual system. I am frankly proud
though the Mayor cxaggerates IL. The
doubling Of subway mileage, the relief
OF a congestion that in the absence OF
relief would have throttled the town be-
fore this. and that justified the addition
of 81 900 600 GOO to real estate values IN a
single year. were things worth fighting
for. To get the money 70 build the SUBJ
ways the city had to borrow. and In or
der 10 borrow IL. had TO pay the interest
on its bonds That sum. slight indeed.
compared with the advantage the city
has secured. amounts to SS.5O0.000 year.
THE traffic of the new subways has
so multiplied that, had It not been for
the costs imposed by the war. the in
