therapeutic agent OF great value
in the treatment OF rheum atism,

sufficient for our present needs.
Five cubic feet would be sufficient
to supply town Of 40. 600 inhabi-
tants. The water is to be brought
through the Otero canal TO a point
about one mile south OF town,
where a settling reservoir and q
storage reservoir will be built and
connected with our present reser-
voir. After the needs OF the town
have been supplied, the Otero
canal is to be entitled to the sur
plus water, this being the only
consideration given by the town
for the use OF the canal for all
time to come.
1t is estimated that SIoo. 900 will
cover the entire expense OF pur-
chasing the water rights, building
the new reservoirs and establish
ing the proposed gravity system.
The gravity system will do away
with the necessity OF maintaining
the pump house, the cost OF oper-
alton which at the present time is
about 50, 600 yer year. The bond
issue will be for Sioo, 900, bearing
per cent interest, due IN fifteen
years, redeemable at the option OF
the city after ten years, and taken
at par. The ordinance provides
for a tax levy OF IL mills each year
upon the taxable property OF the
town to pay the annual interest
and to provide sinking fund to
extinguish the principal within
fifteen years. The SO, now
used in operating the purLp house
will more than pay the interest on
the bonds, and the levy to provide
a sinking fund will be much less
than that provided by the ordin
ance.
Competent Jndges have declared
that first class water rights, are
now worth Sax per cubic foot,
and when it is known that the city
of La unta has become the owner
OF nearly one hundr cubic feet
OF water at a cost OF less than
81 900 per cubic foot, our citizens
will probably realize that we have
secured bargain. That these
water rights are considered valu-
able. is demonstrated by the fact
that a representative OF one OF the
leading corporations OF Colorado
offered the man who secured the
options and holds them in trust
for the city Of La unta, $50, 600
in advance of what was paid for
them. Securing water supply,
however. will not be the only bene-
fl, the city of La Junta will derive
by purchasing water rights for the
Otero canal. With an abundant
water supply assured, thousands
of acres adjoining and contiguous
to the city will be made to bloom
and blossom as the rose, and make
this city the commercial center OF
a thriving agricultural population.

BOND PROPOSITIONS.


The ordinance providing for the
proposed SIoo, 900 bond issue
upon the credit of the town, which
appeared in the last issue of the
TRIBUNE, caused considerable com
ment, favorable and otherwise.
among our citizens during the
week, adverse among those who
were the least informed concern
ing the scheme, and meeting with
the cordial approval OF those who
appreciate the value and necessity
OF securing a sufficient water sup
ply for all time to come when 1t IS
obtainable. Water rights are in
creasing IN value each year. and
in very short time it will not be
possible to secure them at any
price. The fact that the proposed
water supply is to come through
the Otero canal is OF course det-
riment TO the scheme, as that irri
cation proposition has always
been hoodoo to La unta ever
since its inception, and any prop
osition which pertains to provid-
ing water supply from that
source does not meet with very
cordial appreciation.
Unbiased investigation Of the
proposed scheme will convince
the most skeptical, however, that
it is not only feasible and practi
cable, but that in fact it is the only
way of providing sufficient water
supply when La Junta assumes
metropolitan proportions. Some
OF our leading citizens have been
working for months on the scheme
and have succeeded in securing
options upon several valuable
water rights in the mountain dis
tricts which are to be transferred
to the Otero canal. The amount
OF water SECURED is about 100 Gu
bic feet per second OF time, some OF
the priorities dating as far back as
1866, and all Of them being previ-
Gus to 1887. The priori.ies. Of
eighty per cent of the water rights
are ahead of the Rocky Ford ditch.
one OF the best in the valley, and
all OF them are ahead OF the Catlin.
These priorities will insure a flow
Of water in the Otero ditch the
year around. There is no ques-
ton as to the legality Of the trans
fer OF the water rights. eminent
legal ADVICE on this point having
been secured.
The town has entered into an
agreement with the Otero Canal
Company by which it will have q
preferred water right and be en-
titled to the full amount Of water
purchased if needed. In one cubic
foot Of water per second Of time,
flowing twenty four hours, there
are 6S4, 900 gallons of water. At
the present time La Junta uses
about $50. 900 gallons OF water per
day, and . little. over one cubic
loot Of water per day would be
