The l>est feature of the evening un
doubtedly was the clever fortune telling
of the Indian Squaw “Pennsochollun,”
who, seated in her tepee in a dark cor

humbly before her.
The identity of
the witch was successfully concealed
until her part of the program was con
cluded and she joined the merry-makers
as Miss Estella Strand.
As may be imagined with such a be
ginning the fun was riotous and up
roarious and the games continued until a
late hour.
A most satisfactory number was fur
nished by still another trip to the base
ment where a most delicious supper
was served by the social committee, al
though the way pumpkin pies mys
teriously disappeared was nerve-racking.
Much credit for an enjoyable evening
is due Miss Minnie Mendenhall, chair
man of the social committee and her
associates.
The evening closed with the singing of

Making Electricity on the farm
..Many farms and ranches in Colorado
are located near small streams and
creeks from which electric power may
be readily obtained; and at reasonable
cost of development.
These usually
range from about 20 to .50 horsepower,
appealing to the individual owner but
not to corporate development. They
are in the same class and involve the
same simple principles of conservation
as for irrigation.
In fact, instances
arise where both irrigation and electric
power may be secured from the same
stream.
This is particularly favorable and it
is a question which feature one is Justi
fied in calling a by product, from the
view of agricultural industry.
Similarly, localities are found in the
state where a community development ia
not only possible, but desirable, for
electric power as for irrigation. This
has been so fully worked out that actual
electric wkter-power plants are in very
successful operation, without an attend
ant. This represents great care and
forethought of course, in the develop
ment of the proposed electric plant. It
has been made entirely possible by the
necessity of meeting demands which are
everywhere now satisfactorily bandied
by automatic electric control.
Merely to cite one instance, in the
use of the electric oven, the farmer’s
housewife enjoys the same exemption as
the city dweller, in having simply to
press the button and the electric clock
and thermostat do the rest. Of course
in this case she understands the value of
the tireless cooking feature of the
electric oven, after sufficient heat baa
been obtained.
But the principle remains true and
is now applied to the most intricate
modern machinery—ti remove from
hand control all that mby be better done
by electric control.—W. 8. Aid rich.
Press sentiment indi -atee that of
the eleven measures on t.ie ballot the
Single Item Veto and Tax and Debt
Limitation amendments alone will carry.
The St. Helene shipyard will erect
enormous sheds to enable shipbuilding
to continue throughout the winter.
