ITO RAISE SHEEP

COLORADO LANDS.
A BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
Vast Land Project in Northern Cole

Dollars,

Dollars.
Denver.-The Republican says it was
ascertained yesterday that the inter-
est of Edward F. Swift Of the hrm of
Swift & Co.. packers, In the Colorado
sheep situation, is much greater than
was supposed.
In addition TO looking over the sheep
feeding industry at Fort Collins and
making arrangements for the killing of
lambs at the Denver plants, recently
acquired by the trust, 1t now appears
that Mr.. Swift and his associates are
preparing to swing one Of the largest
land and irrigation schemes ever han
died In Colorado.
The project will require the expendi-
ture of fully 100000 for tunnels.
bitches and reservoirs, and the COM
pany behind 1t is backed by not less
than 100000 capital. 1t has not been
incorporated but when this is done
work will proceed on task which will
require about two or three years to
complete.
Edward F. Swift and John Donovan
OF St. Joseph, and Peter Jansen OF
Jansen, Nebraska, have successfully
handled several large deals In Canada.
They have been associated in many
undertakings of importance and have
almost unlimited capital, Mr.. Swift
himself being personally many times
a millionaire.
The lamb feeding industry In Colo
RADIO has caught their attention, has
their plans will work wonders for
northern Colorado. About nine months
ago these men began acquiring land In
l4arimer and Weld counties, most OF 1t
near Fort Collins and extending down
nearly as far as Greeley. This land is
as abundantly fertile as the other land
in that vicinity, but the problem Of ir-
rigation was one to be met. The plan
TO bring water to the land acquired is
one that could only be attempted by
great capital.
A water right has been obtained In
the Cache La Poudre, at a point where
water may be diverted easily to the
land In question. The water will be
taken from the Larimer river and
brought to the Cache la Poudre by an
expensive system of bitches and reser.
yoirs. At one place it will be neces
sary to tunnel through one Of the
smaller mountain ranges between the
two streams. The chief engineer of
Swift & Co. was brought along for the
purpose of making observations and
estimating the best means Of bringing
the water over.
1t will be matter of several years
before their plans are fully developed.
but in the meantime the packing
plants of Denver will undoubtedly Ian.
die the immense output of lambs pro
duced by the farmers.

Nicholas J. Hertz, Member of Ancient

"A few months ago I contracted
heavy cold which settled in my kidneys,

bell rings at morning and at noon, again
with tens of thousands the hardest kind
of work has begun, the renewal of which
is mental and physical strain to all
except the most rugged. The little girl
that few days ago had roses in her
cheeks, and the little boy whose lips were
then so red you would have insisted they
had been kissed by Strawberries, have
already lost something ofthe appearance
OF health. Now is time when many
children should be given tonic, which
may avert much serious trouble, and we

mended as Hoods Sarsaparilla, which

and assimilation, and aids mental de-
velopment by building up the whole
