MoNTEZuMA's FUTURE.

A, j. Mcclure. former state engi-
neer spent last night in the city.
being on his return from Cortez to
Denver. Mr. McCune is employed by
the Montezuma Canal company in
preparing plans and specifications for
the improvements to be made on the
irrigation system of that valley.
These plans when completed are to
be submitted to the taxpayers of the
DISTRICT so they may know just what
they are getting The plans will be
very extensive, embracing the aban-
donine of certain ditcnes and laterals
and the construction of others. On
Canal No. 3 there is 5000 feet of
fiume. One object in the new plans
will be 10 dispense with as much
flume and woodwork as possible; and
this 5000 feet will be dispensed with
by shortening the route. The tun-
mel on Canal No l is designed to
carry 800 cubic feet of water per
second. The reservoir to be filed from
No. . was estimated by w. II. Wig
ellsworth to lold $500 acre feet OF
MI hC,uhe lht
dam might he raised about twelve
feet higher, when the capacity would
be Increased to 10000 feet.
Mr. McCune predicted great fu-
ture for the Montezuma valley, when
ever the water question Is settled.
He cited the early trouble experience
ed in Grand valley over the water
question and since that has been
settled the valley has constantly pro
crossed Last March Mr.. McCune had
seen Grand valley apples in Quay
mas, Old Mexico. He had seen them
in Los Angeles and he knew they
had been sent to Europe With our
| southern outlets Montezuma valley
| would have the bulge on Grand val.
| ley or any other section of Colorado.
and fruit from this corner of the
state would be found throughout Tex
| as Mexico and California.
Here Mr.. McCune was informed
| that Texas, Mexico and California
We're on Durango's map, fact OF
which he was not aware.
Mr.. McCune departed this morning
| Tor Denver.
