ITO RAISE SHEEP
SWIFT & CO., PACKERS, BUYING
COLORADO LANDS.
"A BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
Vast Land Project In Northern Colo
rado-To Include bitches, TunneII
and Reservoirs Costing = Million
Dollars.

Denver-The Republican says it was
ascertained yesterday that the inter-
est of Edward F. Swift of the firm 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 sl,000,O0O 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 Il task which will
require about two or three years to
complete.
Edward +. 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
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
4 ,.t, - .
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 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-
voirs. At one place 1t will be neces-
sary TO tunnel through one of the
smaller mountain ranges between the
two streams The chief engineer of
Swift 4 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 han
die the immense output OF lambs pro
duced by the farmers.

Mrs. Arvilla ID. Meeker. widow OF the
late N. G. Meeker, died there yester
day from senility, aged ninety years.
Mrs. Arvilla ID. Meeker, the widow OF
Nathan Cooke Meeker, founder OF
Greeley colony, was woman ol

school in New England and then be
came acquainted with the young poet
and dreamer. who later founded col
ony In the then far West and who sac
rificed his life to his convictions re
garding the civilization of the Indian

him when he was butchered by the
Utes at the White River agency Sep
tember 30. 1879. known to history as
the "Meeker massacre" Mrs. Meekei
was slightly wounded In the ARRAY and
held prisoner by the Indians fo'
three weeks.
| About the time Mr.. and Mrs. Meekel
were married they became interested
In the organization of communities
which we're purposed to carry out somt
of the the eories of the French Socialist
Fourier and which were supported b,
such men as Emerson, Hawthorne and
Greeley. The Brook Farm PhalanX'
became the best known of these Organi
cations.
The Meekers Joined one at Warren
Ohio, which was dissolved in three
years.
They afterward lived in Cleveland
Ohio. and in southern Illinois.
When the war broke out the Meekel
family were subjected to great indis
mites from their neighbors who were
| nearly all secessionists.
During these early years Mr.. Meekel
wrote, which he did with so much sue
cess. that in 1869 he was made agricul
tural editor of the New York Tribune
through whose columns he unfolded his
plan for establishing Union colony OIL
the banks of the Poudre river.
In 1870 the colony was established
and the town of Greeley located, IL
which Mrs. Meeker and her family
came during the first year as soon as
their home could be built, in whicr
they have since lived.
In 1878 Mr. Meeker, who had always
had great faith in the Indians, believ
ing that they could be taught TO pursu,
an industrial life. left Greeley with hi.
family for the White River lndiaI

Indians and act as government aSen

The story of the subsequent massa
ere of Mr. Meeker and the employees %
the agency by the Indians under the
control of Chief Douglas and Captain
Jack and the captivity of Mrs. Meekel
and her daughter. Josie. are a part o
! the history of the country.
Mrs. Meeker leaves son. Ralpi
Meeker. who has been for long tint
on the editorial stan Of the New Yorl
Tribune. and daughter, Miss Rozen'
Meeker. who resides at Greeley an,
