Welch returned from the east Bondar and report**! liia Fourmile ven turfci in prc-sijerona shape. The county commissioners were in session thri week. Their doings will appear in next week's Herald. Manager Moulton of ti»e Hugos com pany, left for Ilifie ilon<lay to superin tend •’atock-taking'* at the branch stoic. Dr. Ironsides departed Tuesda> morn ing to Ml his Yam pa river engagements. He will be back about August first. so “hold your jaw " until he comes. On July first. Meeker became a nation al mone* order office. which means that you can draw a money order payable anywhere in the world where the United fctates has postal connections. A report comes in from J*ieeance to the effect that T. K. liai;ev has dis covered a line bod? of aaphaltum at the hear] of Stewart gulch. The vein is said to be the iargeat in the connty. While out irrigating on Tuesday. A. W. Greenstreet of Hofortl, was stnick bv lightening and instantly killed. De ceased was buried on Thursday in the Buford cemetery, Bey. Sutherland hold ing religious services. The inherent greed of man (or more properly speaking in the present in stance—cursednesa was full? illustrated on I'iceance lately where Water Com missioner Moog found people ruining their ranches with too much water rather than let their neighbors have any. The Irrigation Age. an illustrated monthly journal devoted to the wants and deve.'/pcoent of the western states and territories. H the best publication of its class in the country . It should i>e in the hands of every person interested ir; the suoject of irrigation. Address. Major block, Chicngo General Road Overseer J low man re turned from Uangely Wednesday, after several weeks spent in superintending road work between that place and the state line The county is spending nearly a thousand dollars in that section on roadj. all of which is made necessary by the heavy asphalt urn teaming. A- previously announced if: these cojuror.-. the Ht. iiev. bishop Leonard held divine services at St. .James church last Sunday, morning and evening, preaching to large audiences on both occasions. Tbe bishop is an eloquent, forcible and convincing speaker, whose earnest words carry conviction with them He departed Monday morning, accompanied hr the liev. Ostenson. on i% missionary trip through eastern Routt and Grand counties. C. 1' Hill, deputy road overseer for the Kangely district, was a visitor to the county seat this week on official business. He says the people down there are not enthusing very much over the Grand .Junction-Green River City railroad projec*. as they think the pro posed roar! is not likely to get beyond the confines of newspaper discussion. He say s the opening of the reservation and the rich asphalturn lands are ab sorbing ail attention down there now. G. A Use brook returned to Meeker in the early part of the week after a tr.ree weeks buggy trip through North ern Colorado. During bis trip. Mr. A Use brook traveled over seven hundred miles going out via the Kawlins road and then east along the route of the C'. I', in Southern Wyoming until the headwaters of the Cache la Foudre was reached, down which stream he traveled to Fort f olllns. He also visited the nt. Vrain. Fig and Little Thompson valleys, and the i'latte valley in the vicinity of Greeley and Fort Lupton. Fine farms arid evidences of prosperity were visible on every hand In the sec tions visited east, of tlie continental divide, and west of tbe divide the range was found to be in excellent condition. Mr. Ailsehrook returned botne by wav of Certboud pass. Middle J'ark. Gore range. Lgerla Fark. Ila/den and Yel low Jacket, pane very much pleaaed with the result* of his trip. Meeker and Coal Creek crossed bats again last Sunday, at tbe Bed Stock- [ ings' grounds, and when the game was called at the end of the fourth inning,! on account of rain, the city chaps were : several runs ahead. Tbe Reds are a j little too swift for the bovs from the ’ rural “deestricts," but, as we said last week, the Blues have several very good • players among their number and a lit-: tie more practice will make them for- i midable opponents. Their battery. Lute Johns and John Dyer, is strong. ; At first they have one of the best play ers in either nine in tbe person of Sam Dyer, and George Bloomfield bolds ! down the bag at second in a very credit- | able manner. Sherman Fiske, at short, picks up a ball as quick as anybody but doesn't always use good judgement in selecting tbe base to throw it to. With practice. Charley Bloomfield will abo 1 be all right. All things considered, tbe i Coa! Creek boys are a promising lot. Water Commissioner Moog ha/1 some disagreeable experiences on I’iceance : an/1 tributaries during bis late official trip through that region. In one or two instances when lie shut off water from those who had neither legal or am other ! right to it he was threatened and abused j for performing bis duty according to law. Mr Moog is a stale officer and as such will be backed by the power of the ?tate in the discharge of bis duty. Be- | side*, he is a man that will neither be I bluffed or intimidated in tbe perform ance of bis duties. Some people on j I’iceance may as well learn these facts first as last Editor Warner of the Rifle Reveille,! sums up a recent trip through Rio, Bianco and Routt counties as follows : "Bio Blanco and Itoutt counties have a delightful summer climate, excellent stock range*, unparalleled fishing and hunting, and people the kindest and most hospital. They have precious me tab. coal, mineral springs, abnnd- 1 ance of goo/1 water, and with railroad connections, will lie heard from in all I the future affairs of the state of Colo ! talk.” Doris Marcott. one of upper White j river's solid and respected citizens, paid j Tm: Herald a visit Wednesday and [ among other things informed the editor \ that the mysterious disappearance of! sundry horse.-, is still a source of annoy- ; ance to settlers in the eastern end of j the county Had it not been for tbe j unexpected death of one of their num- ! tier, the North and South Fork settlers wouid have celebrated the Fourth with ; their oid time enthusiasm. W 11. and George Welch are back > from the Fourmile region, where they , have l>een doing assessment work and prospecting for some weeks past. They brought back some very line quartz specimens. 1). i). Taylor and L J.

Lowell came in Thurs day night s stage, from Arizona where he has been buying steers for the Lilv Park ranges. Henry Wilson of Thornburg, departed Thursday morning for St. Louis, where he will spend a few weeks visiting the j old folks. Mr. and Mrs. Rube Old land of Pice-! : ance. spent the Fourth ir. tbe city, tbe guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Oid- ’ land. Gaze On ’Em! Meeker's ball team accompanied by wives, sweethearts, cousins, aunts, and other female relatives without number, also a large delegation of supporters and admirers, left for Craig on Wednesday morning, where the club was billed to piay on tbe Fourth.
