they sub-divided a tract Into,, 10 and
C-acre tracts. - Then there waa nothing
but barren land. Now there are six
canneries; and homes on every tract.
He predicted that in less than five
years Sandrldge land will be selling at
$500 per acre.
t'n use of Apple Sl;frta;r.
C. D. Huffman was the ncr: Quak
er. He affirmed that onc-fourth of
the apple shortage this year ws due
to the lack of water. He wt-nt Into the
great benefits to alfalfa growing of
application of water, using practical
Illustration and conservative figures
carefully compiled to prove his state
ment. "I have be-n up the site where
the dam for this Irrigation scheme Is
to be put in," said the speaker, "and
it looks so easy that I marvel because
It has not been don't; before." Coming
back again to alfalfa growing, he
said: "My first alfalfa cutting this
year was one ton per acre. I borrowed
some water and cut two tons the next
cutting." These and other facts were
forcibly presented.
Assessor T. A. Rlnehart, being called
upon, reviewed' the evolution of this
county from apersonai experience of
40 years, as to how the county ad
vanced from the pioneer porlod to thr
railroad, and -the other natural chang
es, "until now we have avrlved at th
irrigation age, and It is up to us to
solve It the same as It is being solved
In other Intelligent communities."
Attorney J- T. Hlnkle ot- Umat'lUi
county, was In the audience, and he
was called upon by the president to
give a little testimony regarding Irtl
gatlon, as he had spent several yearr
on a project bearing his name the
Hinkle Ditch company adjoining th
thriving little city of Echo. He spokv
as one with authority, but not kno-v
lng local. conditions, could not under
stand how we could cover such a larg
acreage with such little Investment.
TIio Plan of Organization. x
Following the oratory, the plan cf
tne committee was presemeu, wnicn
recommends an organization with a
capitalization of 1600,000, divided Into
30.000 shares, with a par value of tin
and each share to represent sufficient
water to Irrigate one acre of land..
The report also recommended that
the , subscription books be kept open
until April , 1909, and after that time
the board of managers can fix the
price of stock. '
Eleven Thousand Acres Secured.
The c orrtmlttee reported In thr
neighborhood of 11,000 acres subscrib
ed up to the hour of making the re
port, and Is confident that the tota:
amount reached will not fall beloW
15,000 acres.
Great IiitercHt Manifest.
As we go to prrgs Judge T. H. Craw

the committee. There is a much larger
attendance than when the meeting be

Grand Junction, Col., Jan. 23.
Four men were killed and over a score
narrowly escaped under an avalanche
of snow sweeping the Camp Bird mine
at Ouray. ' Forty horses were burled
under tons of debris. Emll Johnson
was burled, but was dug out by a dog.
The case which was held before Re
colder Cox attracted no small amount
of attention. Last evening Anderson,
through his attorneys, C. H. Finn and
C.1 E. Cochran, demanded a Jury, and
this morning the following Jurors were
selected: J. R. Oliver, R. W. Logan, F.
B. Halsten, A. V. Oliver, Tt. C. P.
Charlton and Harry U. Mers.
City Attorney J. F. Baker and Dis
trict Attorney F. S. Ivanhoe conducted
the prosecution.
In as much as this is ihe first cas
for violating the local option law un
der the city ordinances. It U receiving
more than ordinary attention. The
chief witness, Cole, .-wore positively
that he. In company v. ith three other
men, walked into the Palace saloon,
ordered the drinks a. id a pint bottle
of liquor, paying 80 eei.ts for the
same. The city expected to have the
three leggers who, Cola said, were his
guests at the bar, a witnesses, but
they could not be fouiji this moan
ing, evidently having boarded a train
during the night.
When the defense took the witnoss
for cross-examination, another series
of verbal battles ensued. By repeated
attempts, the defense wanted to show
that the attempt to procure the liquor
was premedlfated whatever bearing
that might have with the Jury would
be hard to ascertain. The court over
ruled the objections to the almost end
less flank movements. In his rulings
the court held that the trial was to as
certain whether or hot Anderson sold
ll'iuor to the witness. Cole. Cole was
collected and at no time did the de
fense shake his story, which related In
detail, the buying of the "drinks" for
Anderson and himself, the purchuse
of a pint bottle of whisky, taking it U.
the chief of police, and the latter
locking the bottle up for safekeeping,
after proper labels had been attached.
The bottle was In evidence as exhibit

damaging hla first stat ements. To tho
great amusemfi; of too- snctators the
attorneys ''indulged in considerable
word fighting, and had there been a
referee to award the decision so far
as their personal sparring match was
concerned, he would have been com
pelled In justice to all parties, to have
announced a draw, with all parties In
splendid condition to continue the
contest until morning. As we go to
press there Is no Indication that the
case will be given to the Jury before
some time next week, as from present
Indications the attorneys have discov

and there does not seem to be any one
making an effort to stop the wheels
of justice. ,
