LARGE LAND PURCHASE
NEAR FORT COLLINS

Greeley, Colo, Aug. 23.-Denver Re-
publican SpeciaD--A large transaction
has lust been closed here by which
Thomas Bradley, a wealthy merchant
of Philadelphia, transferred the entire
interest In 10000 acres of land situated
north and northeast of Fort Collins, to-
gether with the North Poudre ditch
and all of the North Poudre reservoirs.
The purchaser was the corporation
formed few days ago styled the
Northern Poudre Irrigation Company,
which was recently organized to buy
property. The sale includes the crops
growing on some 5000 acres of land
under cultivation. The stockholders
are II. @. Andrews. n banker of Car
negie. Nebraska: Thomas Bradley OF
Philadelphia, and B. ID. Sanborn or
Greeley. The home Office of the com,
pany Is Mt Greeley.
The company has plans for develop
ing the reservoirs under this ditch In
such n way as to add largely to the
wealth of northern Colorado, making
It possible to increase largely the po-
tato crop and provide reservoir water
which will be in great demand by the
sugar beet industry.
1t is not improbable that combina,
tion may be made with the existing
company by which larger corporation
may be formed with this company, to
include some of the present successful
reservoir companies. as some OF these
reservoirs are situated below the
bitches most in need of water.
THE reservoirs of the North Poudre
are above all bitches that supply the
great potato belt.
