Bright Prospects Ahead For the Beau.
tiful Ordway Country.

OF late but little has been heard OF tho
Twin Lakes reservoir. but this great i'm
provement has not been neglected by tho
cnterprising men who have it in charge.
Hon. Jns. Roberts, Pres, and Henry
Rooms, Treas, Of the Twin Lakes Reser.
voir Co., arrived In Pueblo yesterday
whore they will remain for couple Of
weeks looking after the interests OF the
reservoir. They have advertised for
bids for the construction OF the reser-
voir and will probably let the contract
next Saturday. II ia expected that water
from the reservoir will bo furnished by
August LIST. This doubtless can be cas-
lily dono ms they expect to draw water
from the likes 16 feet below tho present
surface, and only the construction OF mn
outlet canal and headgate will be neces.
sary to give their lands near Ordway and
Olney the benefit ri the finest reservoir
in the whole mountain range.
While it would have been highly de
sirable that the Twin lakes had been nc
quired by tho state, and tho whole val.
10y had the benefits Of tho water stored
there yet we cannot but congratulate the
country under the Bob Greek canal OF
their good fortune IN securing the great
advantages Of this magnificent reservoir
And when the proposed works are full,
completed we see no reason why othel
other portions III tho valley may moi
have some benefit from the immense sup
ply Of water which will be stored.
Messrs. Roberts and koons will hav,
their headquarters in the office of w. l.
Hartman, their attorney, where the,
may be seen by any one Interested in SO
curing water from tho Twin Lakes reser
voir.

The Maine has been remembered by
Commodore Dewey, but the account has
not yet been balanced.

Among existing nations Spain leads
in one respect-an unequalled record of
cruelty, oppression and treachery. Once
the mistress Of the world Spain has grad
ually dwindled to tourth-class power,
and it now seems is destined to take a
yet more humble place in the family of
nations. 'Tis righteous retribution.
