country, no attention was given to the
recreational possibilities which the re-
gion afforded. Few, if any, gave
thought to the beauty of the country
itself or to the preservation, conserva-
tion and development of its wonderful
resources aside from mining. Fish and
game animals were plentiful and paid
the natural toll until they were almost
exterminated. However, since the ad-
vent of protective laws the fish and
game have materially increased and are
found at present in quantity.
Today a new lure, perhaps not as
strong, but probably more enduring,
begins to draw people back to this To-
cality. And these people, unlike the
prospectors of the eighties, are not

GRAND JUNCTION LIONS
VISIT GLENWoOD

The Glenwood Lions club held their
weekly meeting at the Williams last
evening. A large delegation of Grand

Grand Junction, Colo. Mr.. Weiser is
head of the State Highway commission
Of this district and is also president Of
the Grand Junction Chamber Of Com

that l was really offering real ser

this bureau. So you see, Mr.. Dickson,
n great deal depends on the way the
Colorado cities and communities take
hold. With literature from the citiea
and towns and counties of Colorado,
] can soon wake folks up to the fact
that Colorado is not only noted for
scenic opportunities, but is ideal for
investments and for homes.
The railroads have provided me with
ample literature, but need more than
this literature, as cater to those who
are not merely seeking vacation
trip, but who are looking for homes
and business locations. And Wiscon-
sin is a good state for that purpose
For Wisconsin has many prosperous
cities and vast industries as well as
farming communities that afford a
fertile field to work-for many are
willing to settle in Colorado IF they
knew more about this, wonderful state.
With the railroads offering "bar-
gain" round trip rates this coming
season-and from reports from the
Rock Island, Union Pacific, Santa Fe,
Burlington and the Denver & Rio

WATER SUPPLY IS
CUT OFF BY BREAK

A break last Saturday afternoon in
the water main coming down over the
hill at what is known as the halfway
house left the city destitute of water
supply and oecasioned the annoyances
and Inconvenience which are always
lnseparable from such unfortunate ac-
cidents.
But more serious than all else was
the narrow margin by which Mrs.
Pratt escaped injury or possible death
through the unexpected break which
came near precipitating the house in
which Mrs. Pratt was living into the
Colorado river.
The large iron pipe passed right
under the kitchen of Mrs. Pratt's res
idence, and when the break occurred
she was in the kitchen engaged in her
work, but fortunately the door was
open, and as the break was announced
with loud report that gave warning
of the impending danger, she rushed
through the door and to n place Of
safety by scrambling up the mountain
side out of the way of the mad waters,
but not until she had been drenched
with the water which carried tons of
gravel and disintegrated granite into
her kitchen, destroying all her effects
and covering the floor to n depth of
two or three feet. Besides this, the
water rushed through the house, de-
stroying all the belongings of Mrs.
Pratt and her daughter, Mrs. Blanche
Brown, who made their home there to-
gether.
Passersby came to the relief of Mrs.
Pratt and brought her to the Hotel
Colorado where Mr. and Mrs. f. Il,
Lucas gave her every possible atten-
tion, while Others sought out Mrs.
Brown and took her to her recent
home which had so suddenly been
turned into ruins.
The pipeline was repaired SO that
the patrons of the system were sup
piled with water about 10:3O Satur-
day night, with no damage save the
customary inconvenience, and a few
plumber s bills during the next few
days

ADJUDICATI0NS IN
DISTRICT COURT
Application For Change in the
Point Of Diversion Of
Blue Creek Water
WIN and LOSE

The long pending water litigation
between Ben Hotz and Paul Gould on
one side and F. E. Sweet and W. II.
Harris on the other side, involving
water fIom Blue creek, in the Mt.
Basalt country, was heard by Judge
Shumate in the district court Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week, and,
as usual in such cases and in nearly
all litigation, was decided in a manner
not altogether satisfactory to either
party to the contests.
The first case to be heard was an
application of Sweet and Harris for an
adjudication for six cubic feet of
water from Blue creek through the
weet-Harris Blue creek ditch, this
being continuation of hearing
started last fall when the petitioners,
on claim and showing of having de-
veloped water, were given decree for
50 S. f. of water, with a right to fur
iher develop the water of the stream.
Gould and Hotz, prior claimants to
the waters of the stream, resisted the
application, but Judge Shumate al
lowed the petitioners decree for 297
cubic second feet, this being the
amount he found they had used, ac-
ccrding to the testimony as to their
land measurements, this amount to be
inclusive of the 50 feet decreed some
mouths ago, and being subject to all
prier rights, and not subject to dupli-
cation from any other source.
The next day there was heard the
application of Gould and Hotz for
change in point of diversion of 1.6
second feet from the original head
gate of the Harris ditch to a point
a considerable distance further up the
stream. This application was vigor-
ously contested by Sweet and Harris,
who were able to convince the court
that to give this ditch its decreed
amount of water at the proposed upper
headgate would necessitate drawing on
junior bitches for water, particularly
the Sweet-Harris ditch just adjudi-
Gated.
In making his decision, denying the
change in point of diversion as asked
for in the petition, Judge Shumate
cited several cases of the higher courts
in support of his contention that a
change in point of diversion cannot be
allowed, if to do so the rights of
junior appropriations will be injuriously
affected.
This litigation has been long drawn
out and vigorously fought for several
and it is probable that the
end has not yet been reached. G. W.
Taylor represented Sweet and Harris,
while NJ. J. Mayes and C. w. Darrow
were the attorneys for Gould and Hot,

see that the Western Slope received
fair representation and consideration
from the State Highway commission.
He then launched on the principal
topic: which was cooperation be-
tween the cities of the Western Slope.
He then told of the great good that
the Grand Junction Chamber of Com
should do likewise. The whole West
ern Slope should organize and advcr-
tise the resources of this community.
He stated that the Grand Junction
Chamber of Commerce had purchased
them $4,000 home and that it would
act as clearing house for the whole
Western Slope.

there anything so valuable in the
