STATE engineer ON
OFFICIAL VISIT


State Engineer M. O. Hinderlider ar.
rived in Glenwood last Sunday, and
spent the first three days Of this week
investigating the Blue creek muddle,
which had become SO tense as 70 threat
en- serious trouble.
In company with Division Engineer
Dickson and the parties interested on
both sides Of the controversy Mr.. Hin
derlider spent Monday and Tuesday in
vestigating the physical conditions in
the Blue creek country, while Wednes.
day was given over largely to Con-
ference with the parties interested.
Mr.. Hinderlider leaving Wednesday
night for La Junta after making his
findings and issuing instructions to the
division engineer concerning the ad-
ministration Of the water from Blue
creek.
All parties to the controversy are ap.
parently pleased with Mr.. Hinder.
lider's visit and the fairness with
which he ruled on the somewhat moot
ed questions involved. While his &c.
ton was little more drastic in one
or two Particulars than the division
engineer felt warranted in assuming,
it will result in a more economical ad-
ministration Of the water, and be more
satisfactory to all parties interested.

Colorado, but she has not formulated
plans as to her exact location. She has
written and published outlines and
articles or primary methods in num-
Der. of school journals.
E. N. Freeman, Of Denver, president
of the Eastern division of the Colo
rado, Teachers association, has been
superintendent of schools at Wheat
ridge, near Denver, for the past seven
years. He has had charge Of summer
institutes all over the state and has
conducted the institute for teachers
at Golden the past six years. In 1921
he directed the summer institute at
Glenwood Springs.
At present he is teaching history,
civics and current events. He says:
"I think, the summer school should be
made permanent proposition. II is
past the experimental stage, and If
the people Of the Western Slope de-
mand the school, they will get it. Gree
ley is doing a splendid work, but the
institution is crowded. Under condi-
tions which are conducive to study,
such as cool climate and lack Of over
crowding, teachers can here get at
least start towards their degrees
and, if they like, can later complete
work for the degree at some ldfgel
institution. It is much cheaper to
move half dozen Instructors to one
hundred and twenty-five teachers thar
to move such number Of teachers ID
the instructors"
1t was at the University Of Denver
that Mr.. Freeman received both hi!
A. B. and A. M. degrees. He has con
tributed articles to various educationa
publications.
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman and chiidrer
have rented cottage in the yard Of
the B. W. McGuirk home on Cooper
avenue. They will return to Denver
when school closes here.

Hfty-fourth Ballot Fails TO
Break Deadlock --McAdoo
Still 10 the Lead
ADJOURN TILL NIGHT !

Madison Square Garden, N. Y, July
.2.-William G. .McAdoo ran to new
high mark in tonight's ballot. In the
Democratic national convention. he
passed the much sought goal of 500
votes by dint Of much frantic work
and pursuasion and maneuvering on the
part of floor managers, who declared
that they had not finished their work
yet.
Running close to the 48 and "A bal
lot record of the Baltimore and San
Francisco conventions respectively, ths
Mad..cn Square Garden exhibition
gave promise of setting new marx
McAdoo hit his high mark Of favor ip
tie fortieth ballot, when he pollcd
5O5H votes, Smith at that time had
dropped a little below his level Of
123H made on previous ballots.
At the close of the fortieth ballo:
last night. McAdoo had stood at Jl5h
votes. Thus he gained nearly 100 in
today IS balloting and the votes he got
were taken principally from j. W.
Davis of West Virginia, who fell to
70 on the last ballot tonight. The Nc
Adoo people went into tonight's ses-
sion attempting to estimate what
damage had been done to their cause
by the rioutous performance of the
late afternoon session when William
Jennings Bryan precipitated tumult
with hA approval from the platform
and caused cries of coil"
At first there were various predic.
tions of what the effect might be to
the nights session, but when the lead
ers got outside and thought it over,
it became apparent that the principal
effect Of the Bryan incident had been
to solidify the Smith forces and to
spur the McAdoo people on to new
record. To pass the 500 mark tonight
and adjourn while it was held there,
was their first goal.
The thirty-eighth ballot last night
stood McAdoo, "A; Smith, 321; J. W.

The latest Associated Press bulletin

ANNUAL VISITOR
FINDS TOWN CLEAN

w. H. Forsythe of Fort Collins, the
corpulent Nerry go-round and Ferris
wheel entcrtainer who added greatly
to the pleasure of the kiddies on the
occasion Of our big Strawberry Day
festival, has been an annual visitor to
Glenwood for the past fourteen years,
and he was highly pleased With the
conduct Of the crowd this year in con-
tract with those Of other years.
Glenypod was the sixth stand for
Forsythe's entertainment in Colorado
this year, and Of the many thousand
people he has handled he says he has
only seen one drunken person this year,
and that was in his home town of Fort
Collins. He says the red-nosed brigade
10 diminishing rapidly in Colorado.
There are few counties in which some
Of them are left, but some of these
have been indicted, and no doubt in
due time will be sent to the peniten-
tiary where such lawbreakers belong.
Forsythe has nothing but words Of
praise for the W. @. T. q. women and
tho gaR work they are doing all over
the csxntry, and he ID also loud In his
praise Of the federal law enforcement
crew. He says John F. Vivian and his
men are doing wonderful work, and
the same may be said of John R. Smith
of the state prohibition force.
Mr.. Forsythe considers the eighteenth
amendment one of the best laws ever
enacted, and he believes that ninety
per cent of the people are for it, and
all it needs 10 Officers to enforce the
law, and then back them up with pub
lie sentiment and give them to under
stand that their good work is appreci-
ated. 'It is high time that all red.
blooded, ono hundred per cent Ameri.
cans should take q firm stand against
the Jesse James bunch Of lawbreakers
and help clean things up" is the way
Mr. Forsythe expressed himself ON this
subject in which he feels a vital inter-
est.
But things are working to that end,
and public sentiment is rapidly de.
manding better conditions. Over in
the Fort Collins district special grand
jury has just indicted the district at
torney and his deputy, the sheriff and
one other-four officialtfor neglect
of official duty and for aiding and
abetting numerous violators of the law.
These men will be required to stand
trial later in the season, and if con-
victed VIII no doubt be removed from
office, and severely punished besides.
The sheriff of Rio Blanco county was
recently found guilty Of violating his
oath of office and was forced to re-
sign, and was fined besides. The ropes
are daily dIalTing tighter around law.
breakers. and men are being made to
realize that some Of our laws are not
the joke they were once thought to be,
