ABOUT STATE CANAL NO.

The question of state bitches will be
brought squarely before the next legis-
lature by the special committee ap
pointed by the Ninth general. assembly
to make examinations of state canals
Nos and and report.
No > does not effect this section OF
the state as il is away out IN Mesa
county. No. is the burning issue.
The canal has been surveyed from
Canon city To Pueblo. both of which
towns are greatly interested in its com
pletion. while the people farther down
the valley are as a rule opposed 10 IL
OF the special committee assigned To
looking into this matter, Senator Boyd
is from Greeley, Weld county. in the
extreme northern part OF the state and
has no personal interest at stake. Senator
johnson is from Florence. Fremont
county, whose constituency practically
all favor the project, while Senator
Swink is from Rocky Ford, Otero county,
whose constituency have to a large ex'
tent arrayed themselves against H.
1t is not likely that this special com
mittee will agree in its report either for
or against the canal as each will probably
be governed in the matter by the will OF
the people they represent which is at
variance on the question. Senator Boyd
vii very likely oppose the measure ON
the grounds Of economy, urging the
,n..I ,+;sa bilitt nf an unprnnrint ion nj this
time. Senator johnson can do nothing
else but work for the ditch and Senator
Swink can do nothing else but oppose
it. The only thing that will he accom-
plished. then, by this special committee
will be the gathering of more informa-
tion relative to the project,
The whole question with the people
farther down the valley hinges ON the
water supply, they declaring that the
canal would deprive the farm lands now
under the ditch. clear through to the
Kansas line of their usual supply Of
water and therefore be great injury To
them But the people between Canon
City and Pueblo argue that enough water
goes to waste each season in the Arkan
sas river to irrigate fifty times more land
than is watered at present, and that any
how the water which is run into the
canal would eventually find its way back
into the river. as it will seek its level,
and that there would be no robbery.
Besides vast reservoirs could be con
structed for the holding of water and
these would be filed only in flood time.
II the measure goes through large
portion of the work would be done by
convict labor. thereby reducing the ap-
preparation by the state TO minimum.
And since everybody realizes the
necessity Of more vigorous agricultural
pursuit in Colorado broad and public
spirited view of the matter would be to
go ahead with this great and needed i'm
provement, thereby throwing open
thousands Of farms for cultivation and
contributing to the wealth and welfare
Of the state.

was purchased by speculators for the
purpose of building town there AT
the sale the farmer who sold the land
in the first place became SO excited
that he bought in lots for the entire
amount OF his. purchase money. Then
he built the block and became mer-

The town was failure. the property

bered by useless building and elec-
tric poles that are in the way OF his
