The State Canal and Twin Lakes Reser-
vOir.


To the Editor Of tho Enterprise.
A meeting OF the Arkansas Valley Irri-
CATION Association, held yesterday in
Pueblo, attempted to resolve itself into n
"Society to Defraud the State Ont OF .
Million Dollars" The secretary, J. S
Greene, announced that tile business
proper would be held in allegiance and
the association would confer with the
members. elect and down-the-river coun.
ties, with view TO harmonizing the peo-
pie Of the valley on the two questions oi
Twin Lakes Reservoir and Pueblo's pei
fraud, State Canal No. 1-not exactly in
those words, but that was the gist of the
matter.
Mr.. Greene made very lengthy ex.
PLANTATION Of why the canal should be
built. His principal argument was that
tho country between the canal and the
river would act as storage reservoir;
that 50 per cent Of the water used would
return to the river sometime, perhaps in
the first or second decades OF the next
century, but, at any rate. as Bob Grant
acknowledged, during the lifetime OF our
children.
Mr.. Greene was the "Dr. Jeckyll and
tary and sometimes representative-el elect
He is an adept at talking through his
hat, and it was amusing to hear a man OF
his intelligence and most extensive in
formation on the water question trying
to make people think he believed what
he said,
A. E. Bent made a most sarcastic argu-
ment. He wished to know why, il the
canal scheme was q good thing it was re-
ported to be, that capital did not take
hold OF it, instead of allowing the soft
snap to go to the dear people Of the state
He took the figures of tho opposition te
prove that tho cost Of an acre foot car
ried by the canal would be forty times
the cost OF storing the same quantity il
| the reservoir.
A. N. Parrish scored them, too, but
could not got the proposition from Pueblo
| which We had gone up to receive anG
consider.
Mr.. Greene believed that we conld moi
expect more than 10000 for bott
schemes, and said they only wanted {
nominal sum for the canal, just enough
to keep the scheme in existence till good
times came.
Senator Swink asserted his opposition
to the canal scheme on the ground that
it was impractical and extravagant.
| Had the writer been anything Of an
orator, he would have requested Mri
