AN IRRIGATION EXHIBIT.
Colorado To Repre- iuce A Great Irriga-
tiCn Enterprise at the
Worlds Fair.

The irrigation exhibit which
Colorado will ms tallat the Worlds
Fair will be modelled after the
great work now going on in the
northwestern part of Montrose
country one of the western tier
of counties of that state. The
Gunnison river cuts across the
corner of Montrose from Gunni-
son to Delta county, flowing
through a canyon. The river is
to be damned in this canyon and
a tunnel several miles long is be-
ing driven through the mountain
on the west side of the river. It
will emerge on the west side of
the mountain far above the now
arid lands lying along the east
side of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad. Here the water will
be run into great storage rese-
volrs and thence to irrigation
bitches. Nearly one hundred
acres that are now barren will be
made to grow several crops a year
by means of this new abundant
supply of water. This exhibit
will show to the World 8 Fair visi-
tors how the desert are being put
under agriculture not only in Col
orado but in many states and Ter
ritories.
Governor James B. Orman of
Colorado visited the Worlds Fair
site last week to inspect the build
ing operations and see the plot
chosen for the Colorado building.
