Asovr the WAFER DEAL. -

Abc 1utstious tusoiNGu w tue
present city election are the most
important which have ever con-
ironted the people of La Junts.
The real question is shall La Iunta
remain exclusively railroad town,
or shall she avail herself OF a
ptesent opportunity to surround
herself with a farming community
as good as any IN Otero county.
The Otero ditch, on account Of its
lack OF water, has been positive
detriment to La unts, while the
Rocky Ford ditch. with its early
priority OF 1884,, has made that city
what 1t is. The city council Of
La unia has at the present mo-
nent proposition on hand which
viii net only give La lunta a per-
manent water supply for domestic
purposes by means OF gravity
system but will do away with the
present expensive pumping plant,
aud, at the same time, will bring
under cultivation thousands OF
acres OF vacant land adjacent to
the city on the east and bring to
it as dense and thrifty a popula-
tion as surrounds the city of
Rocky Ford In a nut shell the
proposition is as follows: To
bond the city, buy early water
rights in Chafiee county, and have
them moved down the river to the
OteTo headgate; make contract
with the Otero Company TO carry
the water to La Junta for the use
OF the city, that company to have
the use OF the excess water, If any,
not used by the city, for irrigation
purposes. as the consideration for
carrying the water. This enter
prise, while il appears simple
enough on its face has been
fraught with untold difficulties,
but has been worked out satisfac-
torily and is at the present mo-
ment at the critical point Ct con
summation. To remove priority
from one ditch to another requires
decree OF court. The statute
authorizing the moving Of water
was found to be only broad
enough to permit the removal Of
water from one place to another in
the same water district. The city
proposed to remove water from
water district No. IL, down the
river through water districts No.
IL and IA to water district No. II.
where the Otero canal is located
Legislation was required in order
to accomplish this.
Many OF the ditch interests in
the state opposed the removal OF
water from one district to another.
Certain officers in the city OF La
Iunta. hearing that the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company had pur-
chased a ditch in Pueblo county,
intending to move it up the river
to Fremont county. so as to get a
head of water at the Steel Works
at Pueblo, consulted with the off.
GERS Of that company and interest
ed them in the interest of getting
a bill through the legislature
which would define the procedure
and permit the removal from one
district to another. Space will
not permit the giving Of details of
all Of the obstacles which lay in
the way Of this legislation. Let it
suffice to say that a bill framed
by certain officers Of the city OF
La Junts was introduced in the
present legislature, passed both
houses. was signed by Governor
Peabody on the a7th day Of March.
1909. and IS now : Law. The irst|
proposition was to purchase the
La Junta tribune., 1903-04-08

water nights by means OF an sbso-
lutte sale to the city and take
chances on moving them This.
however. Was found To be unsafe |
Tor the reasons IN That as
soon as the city paid for the water
the parties OF whom IT Was being |
purchased would have no interest
IN its removal and would probably
try to prevent its being taken
away from their vicinity; (2) IL
was uncertain how much would be
deducted from these prionties by
the court making the decree OF
removal, on sccoun. OF seepage
and evaporation.
The city council consequently
had contract drawn on what IS
called delivered basis" that is,
that the city pay SO much per
cubic foot OF water when delivered
at the headgate OF the Otcro Canal
by final decree OF court, and not
until delivery; all loss by seepsge
and evaporation to be sustained by
the seller; the proceedings for the
removal OF the water to be under
the control of the city, and all
proof OF application and other
things necessary to secure tn,
decree of removal To be furnished
by the seller. In order to make
this contrrct binding during the
pending OF the suit to secure de-
cree OF removal. II was put in the
form OF an option and an amount
sufficient to bind the bargain paid
on each one of them. In order to
sc cure this amount until the bonds
are sold, money was borrow ed from
the FIRST National Bank OF La
un,a and bonds hypothecated to
secure the loan. These contracts
provide that the money shall only
be paid over when the decree re
moving the water to the Otero
canal is made final and then only
the amount named in decree is to
be paid. The city council has
already secured 1874 cubic feet of
early prioTities OF which II IS esti-
mated that oo25 per cent can be
moved after making necessary de.
duct,on for seepage and evapora-
ton. 1t is proposed tc purchase
about as feet more If possible SO
that the proposition when consum.
mated ought to put in the neigh.
borhood of sixty six feet OF water
in the Otero canal ahead OF all the
bitches east of Pueblo.
This will secure a safe and per
manent supply for the city Of La
unta for all time to come, and
taken in connection with the
reservoir priority which the canal
itself will own, will make it first
class irrigation proposition. better
perhaps than any other in the
valley 1t has been necessary to
do much OF this work with the
least possible publicity for the
reason that the ditch interests all
around us are opposing the pro-
position and have been SO doing
all along Many OF them are
anxious to get the water them
selves as there is very little water
left up the river that can be pur
chased at any price. AS soon as
the balance OF the water is Sc
cured, which will probably be IN
the immediate future. proceedings
will be commenced in the district
court Of Chaffee county, under the
new law above referred to, looking
to its removal to the headgate of
the Otero canal. and II there is no
hitch in the proceedings and every
thing works out according to pro
gram decree ought to be entered
by the middle Of the summer.
