a GREAT ENTERPRISE.
A Big IrriGating Ditch to DO built


A Big IrriEating Ditch to DO Bui,. IN
Rio Blanco County.
One of the greatest enterprises that was
ever undertaken in Northwestern Colorado is
now being started in Rio Blauco county, says
the Aspen Times. 1t is the building OF a
great irrigatIng canal that will reclaim over
1000 acres of fertile land in that growing
country.
This great body OF land lies south OF and
adjoining the cnterprising city Of Meekcr,
and 1000 acres are now vacant. There Will
be rush for this government land, some of
IT lying within mile and half OF Mrcker.
and new impetus will be given the develop
ment Of that county. The ditch company ask
no money from settlers until water is running
in the canal and the fertility and high
quality of the land Is guaranteed. There
need be no fears as regards the quantity OF
the water as the ditch will carry sufficient for
all, This is great opportunity for per-ons
seeking a home on government land and one
that we predict will be taken advantage OF
by many The soil there is deep, rich loan
and is susceptible OF high state OF cultiva-
ton and nearly everything can be grown.
The company is composed principally OF en-
terprising Kansas capitalists and was organ
lied by Ira &. Mitchell last winter.

unable to bear the expense of few
weeks visit 20 the city during the
gay winter season, to exchange cour-

through this cooperative mentioning

supportable, and in return for tho
courtesy she is to give the summer
hostess an opportunity in the winter
for an equally long time in enjoying

who dubbed themselves around the
