AT
COST
GRAND JUNCTION'S PLAN TO
GET $25,000,000 IS BEST
• The prediction is made that
> the Trans-Mississippi congress
» will ask th*> national congress
• for 230 million dollars to be
■ spent in irrigation within the
> next live years. As if that were
■ not a sufficient excursion into
» prophecy, it is even wagered
■ that congress will come through
> with the desired amount. The
■ News, indeed, lias not the slight
> est objection. Irrigation canals
• are a better investment than
» battleships any day. But the
> News does feel that there is no
• earthly possibility of getting
■ any such sum, and that there is
■ an imperative duty resting on
1 congress which is likely to be
lost sight of in the scramble for
this impossible amount
When the reclamation service be
gan its beneficent work the projects
now on hand or completed were es
timated to cost 40 million dollars.
Owing partly to unforeseen difficult
ies. but much more to the increase in
the* cost of materials, this estimate
has been greatly exceeded. From the
best information we can get. it will
c ost at least 60 million dollars to fin
ish the projects which were to have
been put through for one-third less:
and of the needed sum 20 million
dollars Is nowhere in sight. Secre
tary Garfield undertook to eke out
the scantiness of cash by subscrip
tions in work. ‘ by permitting the
farmers to pay for their water in la
bor, rather than in cash, but this has
now been declared illegal.
The present situation, therefore, is
this. The reclamation service has
more* projects on hand than it can
possibly finish in decent time, under
the lules prevailing in that depart
ment since the change in headship.
Farmers who are holding on by their
eye-teeth in the hope of getting wat
er will be disappointed. Other farm
ers. who have made their “subscrip
tions of work,” are holding certifi
cates that can bring them no water.
The whole service is up against the
imperative need of more money. It
will take 20 million to make up for
the unforeseen increase in cost to
redeem the certificates for ‘sub
scriptions in work” and to put
through the government works al
ready started in proper time.
The News, we repeat, would not at
! all object to the expenditure of 250
j million dollars for Irrigation in the
arid and semi-arid regions. But.
i while that is desirable, it seems to us
that the 20 million dollurs quoted
i above is absolutely essential, and we j
should like to see every western sen-1
a tor. representative and delegate
J bend all his energies to getting t.he
needed appropriation The News,
; trankly, does not believe that there
was any need of discontinuing some
| of the methods which the former sec
i retary of the interior had adopted to
squeeze his projects through in spite
of increased cost. But it is idle to
quarrel about a matter that is settled,
and we take it that the scrip plan
and the payment in labor are definite
ly abandoned. THERE REMAIN

Please observe that. In calling for
this, the west is asking no charity at
the hands of the federal govern
ment. The money spent in irrigation
comes back from the settlers. The
money spent In battleships, and in
navy yards without a channel to get
a battleship near them never comes
back at all. The News hopes that
every western man will use all his
influence to get an appropriation that
will float the best department of the
national government off the shoals.
Editorial in Denver News.
ATTORNEY BERRY WINS OUT
IN THE MOODY CASE
,\ derided victory was won by
Attorney Sam Berry Saturday
afternoon late* in the* trial of the
interesting suit of tin* Sherman
\V. Moody Jewelry Co., which
company i.*» now composed of
the creditors of .Moody, against
Attorney Kerry. The creditors
were seeking to have a receiver,
appointed for tin* handsome
Moody residence on Ouray ave
nue, to leave the property sold,
lent collected from Attorney
Kerry and tin* latter’s title of
ownership to the property
annulled.
Attorney Berry had secured a quit
claim deed to the property from Mrs.
Moody for her homestead interest in
the* property, in payment of legal
service he had rendered. The credit
ors declared that the title to the
property was held legally only by
the* Moody company and that the
Moodya had not right to transfer it
to anybody without the consent of the
company.
Late* Saturday afternoon after a
bitter legal controversy lasting
through the entire day, during which
many sensational statements as to
the state and conduct of Moody’s
business affairs were made. Judge
Shackleford refused to appoint a re
ceiver or to grant any other of the
demands made by the company or
creditors. Attorney Berry retains his
title to an equity in the valuable
property.
It is rumored that there are to be
other important and interesting de
velopments very soon concerning the
fight for the possession ’of the Moody
j residence.
In the rather sensational hearing
that was closed Saturday Attorneys
McMullin & Sternberg represented
the creditors while Attorney Berry
conducted his own defense. A splen
did and brilliant battle was put up
by each side and the victory went to
Attorney Berry.
During the storm Wednesday after
noon a curious freak of lightning re
sulted in the death of a pure bred
bird dog belonging to J. D. Tower.
The dog was in the yard by the house,
about 4 0 yards from where the chil
dren were playing. Suddenly where
the dog stood there was a flash, not
accompanied by thunder, and the dog
dropped dead and was seen to smoke
J for some seconds. About the only
(explanation we could suggest lies in
the fact that lightning does not
necessarily strike down, and may just
! as reasonably strike upward, since it
'is but a spark re-establishing an
equiblirium between two unequally
excited, or oppositely excited, poles.
In this case it is possible that the
ground being highly excited by static
electricity, a spark suddenly leaped
upward and was dissipated, and in
so doing chanced to strike the dog.

OPPOSITE POSTOFFICE.
Below the Frost Line.
Would you like to have an orchard,
vineyard or garden beyond the range
of killing frosts where pure air,
plenty of water and a delightful cli
mate throughout every month will
make life worth living. This is the
opportunity which is being offered
to you at the present time, you can
buy land in one of the most beautiful
valleys in Texas. The richest of soil
for fruit culture and gardening. A
place where industry and education
will produce the greatest results.
Tiiis land is now open to you at S6O
per acre, including the water right.
Investigate lands in every other
state of the union and then come to
the Pecos valley, you will find here
the most even temperature in the
United States and after seeing the
land and water and judging of the
climate for yourself you will be in a
position to appreciate the superiority
of this proposition, both from the
homeseekers and investigators stand
point. You will then realize that, in
no other place are the advantages of
soli, climate, altitude and abundance
of water for domestic and irrigating
purposes, the length of seasons, the
nearness to the market combine in
one proposition such as you will find
along the banks of the Pecos river
in Pecos valley, Texas. In no other
section can you find such a splendid
opportunity or profitable investment.
The great problem with investors
living at a distance who are anxious
to purchase irrigated lands, either
with the idea of living there or for
an investment is to secure a favor
able location in a successful district
at the right time. We all know that
many of the best irrigated proposi
tions are never heard of outside of
the state where they are located un
til the price of land has advanced to
such an evxtent as to put it beyond
the reach of the average mail.
We are seeking to interest and
have already interested a large num
ber of Colorado men who are group
ing themselves together and making
a colony of Colorado men, all of
whom will be practical irrigators.
This land will be worth as much
as the best land in Palisade or Grand
Junction inside of a few years time.
If you will drop a postal card to
the H. J. Gray Realty Co., 337 Main
street. Grand Junction, Colo., or if
you will telephone it will give us the
opportunity of mailing you some lit
erature on the subject.
The next excursion will leave
