been much of the same order.

hundred years ago by French traders.
The foundation of the fort can still
be seen on Harry Ewing's place,
about a mile north If town. Then
Mr.. Ewing used part of the founda-
tion to build big red barn on, and
romance in the matter ended But
some day, this old story will be told.
Just now Fort Lupton, like Gree
ley, has water question. There it
is reservoirs or no reservoirs. The
country around there has fairly
good supply of ditch water, but no
storage facilities. Recently an at
tempt has been made to organize an
irrigation district, and bond it, un-
der the new law, for the construction
Of !. .terage reservoir about four miles
southeast OF the town. There is a
good site there, and this could also
be made to supply a pipe line to the
city, and give good pressure in every
part of the town. Friends of this
project argue that the reduction in
insurance rates would be sufficient to
pay the towns share of the cost, by
having fire protection. Besides this,
the benefit to farmers in having
water for late irrigation would be Of
great value.
Just now Fort Lupton people are
alternately worried and delighted
over the talk of a new railroad to
come up on the west side of the
Platte river, about mile from the
town. Sometimes they figure that
it would be benefit to the town,
and again they believe that little
towns would spring up along the new
line and cut the old town out of its
present share of the farmer trade
from the west. According to the
talk, the new line would run up from
Denver, through the rich coal fields
just west of Lupton, that are now
100 far away from railroad to be of
great value. The line would run
up through the Hillsboro country.
and finally reach Fort Collins, and
thence into North Park, and up into
Wyoming. Surveyors have been over
the route. and what may be done is
problematical Nobody in Fort Lup-
ton seems to have any idea of who is
behind the project.

And it Rained.

Three men in Greeley are willing
to testify unqualitiedly that it rained
hard at midnight, between Saturday
and Sunday. They are Clarence
Schryver, George Dauth and Lou
Kimball, who live side by each. y
at the corner of Eighth street and
Fourteenth avenue. At about that
hour all three were awakened by a
gurgling sound in their back ward
and in the cellar. Investigation
proved tnat the ditch running past
their houses had broken, and was
concientiously filling their cellars.
They worked lieroically for a time
trying to stop the gap, but were
finally Obliged to so to the city limits
and shut off the water at the head
gate at the big ditch. Sunday morn
ing there was two feet of water in
the cellars.

They ARE IMPROVING
Reservoir Companies Letting Big
Contracts.

The Seven Lakes Reservoir COM
pany has just let contract to Joseph
Osner of Denver, to complete large
ditch from Lake Loveland to Dry
Creek. The ditch will be B, 400 feet
in length, and will cross under the
C. & S. tracks, either by deep cut
or tunnel. While the ditch is short
it will cost in the neighborhood Of
SIS. 600. and Will connect one of the
largest reservoir systems in northern
Colorado. Through this ditch, with
Lake Loveland. there will then be ,
storage system of 1900, 600. 900, capsc-
ity. The new ditch will have car
rying capacity of about 10000. 0e
cubic feet of water day.
The North Poudre Irrigation COM
pany, has also just let contract to
Carson Wells, for strengthening
and enlarging of the dam for this
conipany's reservoir No. 13. Mr..
Wells recently constructed the new
Boulder & Weld system, In the south
ern part of the county. The present
work for the North Poudre company
will cost about 10000.
The new Barnes ditch, the inlet to
Lake Loveland is completed at q cost
OF 500, 900, making close to $50, 900 to
be spent in reservoir improvements
in this section this spring. Besides
this, nearly all the big irrigation
companies are making more or less
extensive repairs and improvements
to their systems.

Wiping Out the Desert.

I'VE have no useless American
acres," said Secretary Wilson in
speaking of the work of the Depart
ment in introducing new plants and
improving methods of agriculture.
"There are no bad acres, we will
make them all productive. We have
agricultural explorers in every far
corner of the world, and they are
finding crops which have become SO
acclimated to dry conditions, similar
to our own in the west, that we will
in time have plants thriving upon
all our so-called desert lands. We
will cover this arid area with plants
Of various sorts which will yield
hundreds of millions of tons Of ad-
ditional forage and grain for western
fiocks and herds. Our farmers will
grow this upon land now considered
practically worthless.
A tireless activity is being dis
played by the Department in the re-
clamation Of great areas of the Cen
tral West through the far-reaching
work of our agricultural explorers
who are traversing lands in the In
terests of the American farmer, espec-
tally the high, dry plains and steppes
of Central Asia-the cradle OF the
world-where agriculture reaches
back from history into dim tradition.
The activities Of Mr.. Wilson'S De-
partment bode i'll for the continu-
ance of any very great stretches Of
our once limitless American Desert.

and just loaf In the Sunday quiet Of
the place. And when you'd learned
that the lake is supplied with water
from the mountains away up the st.
Vrain by the Highland ditch and
that the lake above watered nearly
thousand acres of the finest land on
the earth. while the ditch itself
watered about 1900 acres more. you'd
know why people are settling up that
country so fast. You'd learn that
new families are coming in and the
big farms are being made into little
ones. Land changes hands at about
$50 an acre. You'd be surprised to
find that wheat and alfalfa and po-
tatoes were about all they have been
raising over there, but they are going
to raise a lot of beets this year be-
cause the new beet road is being
graded from Johnstown to within a
mile and half of Highlandlake,
and beet dump put in.
About this time you'd look at the
sun and then at your watch and ask
the way to Mrs. Gateley's, where
they feed people. And then you'd
walk half mile east and sit down
at long table with a clean white
cloth, all covered with dishes OF
boiled beef. canned corn, tomatoes.
and the best corn bread you ever ate,
with pie to top off with, and after
you had eaten about dollars worth
and paid quarter for it, you'd begin
to think Highlandlake would be =
pretty good place to live. Then you
talk awhile and get acquainted with
some nice people, you'd start back to
town, and loiter along the road and
take pictures of some pretty little
hooks till train time, when you make
that thousand mile trip to the rail-
road, which is only four miles this
time, and you promise yourself you'll
come back next summer and GO
fishing.

FORT LUPToN
GOOD TOWN IN SOUTHERN
PART OF COUNTY.
Lots of Business, New Homes,
Manufacturing- Success
full Canning Factories
Railroad Talk.

Were you ever in Fort Lupton ?
, Bully little town. and full of good
people. No saloons, and no Keep
I of the Grass" signs. Neither is
needed, because nobody there-at
least only few-has abnorma! thirst,
and there is no grass.
There is lots of good business in
Fort Lupton. 1t is about the only
section of Weld county that did not
feel the low price of spuds, more or
less. That's because they don't
raise spuds there, except few for
home consumption. Instead, they
raise all kinds of canned goods.
That is, they raise the goods in regu-
lation style and then take them to
the canning factories and have them
put into nice bright tin cans and a
pretty label with lots of green and
gold pasted on the outside of the can.
In that way Fort Lupton gets dou-
BILE chance at the profits. First the
farmers are paid for their crop OF
peas, tomatoes, corn, pumpkin,
squash, etc, and then other men
are paid salary for putting these
into cans, ready for the table; and
finally, a good deal of the money re-
turns to Fort Lupton, as profits to
the owner, of at least one of the fac
tories. The other is operated by
Empson, who has many other factor
les, and doesn't live in Lupton.
But garden ''sas.' isn't the only
thing put up in tin cans at Lupton.

plants of its kind in the country.

than it ever did before, and the bus
iness is still growing.
There is probably more alfalfa and
other hay shipped out from the Fort
Lupton station, than any other ship
ping point in Weld county. Most of
this goes to St. Louis to feed Mis-
souri, mules.
Several very handsome houses have
been built in Fort Lupton during the
past two years. and 1t is rapidly be-
coming pretty place. Ed. st.

There are several others, almost, If

AS all details have not yet been
fully made it cannot be stated exact

In order to take care of the added
extra business that is sure to result
from this move the company has had

CAPT. KIRKMAN'S CASE.
Action Will Now Be Taken by the
President

The case of Capt. George w. Kirkman of
the 2Jtn Infantry, stationed at Fort Niobra-
ra, Nebr, is unique in the history of the
United States army. He has been twice
tried by courts martial for alleged scandal
louS conduct, and. in each case, ii is said
was sentenced to dismissal from the serv-
ice The original trial began at the Ne
braska post in January last, and was tenn
porarily suspended awaiting the receipt of
certain evidence from the Philippines
In the interim Captain Kirkman was or
dered before another court-martial for trial
on another set of charges. He was con-
Victed by that court, and the record of the
proceedings has been before the judge ad-
vocate general at the War Department for
several weeks. Action was suspended pend
ing the finish of the trial before the first
court The record of the proceedings of
that court reached the War Depar tment
Yesterday. Inasmuch as the case calls for
the DISMISSAL of the officer, If not additional
punishment such as imprisonment, it re-
quires the action of the President. One of
the sad features of this case was the sui
eide of the wife of army officer who be
came involved in the scandal caused by the
conduct of the accused officer.

Cruiser Columbia Will Sail From Car
tagena This Afternoon.

A cable message was received at the Navy
Department today from Cartagena, Colon
bia saying that the United States cruiser
Columbia will leave that port this after
noon with United States Minister w w
Russell on board, bound for Hampton
Roads.
Mr., Russell is minister to Colombia and
has been summoned to Washington to give
testimony in the controversy between As
sistant Secretary LOOMS and Mr.. Bowen,
minister to Venezuela growing out of the
circulation of rumors in Caracas regarding
Mr. LOOMS alleged relations with the New
York and BermudeZ Asphalt Company Mr..
Russell was secretary of legation at Cara
cas- during the administrations of both Mr..
LOOMS and Mr.. Bowen.
When Minister Bowen was summoned to
Washington to explain to Secretary Taft
his side of the controversy with Mr.. LOOMS
il was officially announced that, regardless
of the investigation, Mr.. Bowen would not
return TO Caracas but that Mr.. Russell
then minister to Colombia would be trans
ferred TO Caracas as minister to Venezuela.
In accordance with that program, when
Minister Russell finished the business which
brings him TO Washington he will proceed
to Caracas and formally assume the duties
of United States minister to Venezuela
The cruiser Columbia is expected to arrive
at Hampton roads about the middle of next
week and ii is believed that it will not be
necessary for Minister Russell to make a
very prolonged stay in this city, certainly
not so TAR as the Looms bowen matter ~
concerned.
In view. however. of the unsatisfactory
state of the relations between the govern
ments of Venezuela and the United States,
resulting mainly from the refusal of the
former government to submit the asphalt
dispute to arbitration regardless of the
ton Of the Venezuelan courts in the matter,
it is more than probable that the President
will desire to give Minister Russell special
and important instructions regarding the
conduct OF the future negotiations between
|, the two countries.
1t is known that President Roosevelt is
very much dissatisfied with the present
status of Venezuelan affairs. especially the
action of President Castro in repeatedly re-
jectng the offer to arbitrate the asphalt
dispute and it has been strongly intimated
In high official circles that steps will be
taken in the not distant future to bring
the Venezuelan government ito terms" As
the case is still before the Venezuelan su-
preme court. with prospect of immediate
action. it is not likely, however, that any
radical steps will be taken by this govern
ment much before the meeting of Congress-
and not certainly at that time.
