Sterling Factory Opens.

The sugar factory at Sterling,
Colo, was opened last Thursday and
Friday with such celebration of
boosting and rejoicing as has seldom
been heard and seeen in northern
Colorado. A big train load Of Den
yer business men were up there to
help make the event a notable one.
There we're many excellent speakers
there from different parts of the
state, among them being II. N.
Haynes of this city.
The factory means a great thing
for the people down the Platte val
ley, country which with the i'm
provement in water systems is
rapidly coming to the front as one
of the best sections in the state.

New Seepage Ditch.

The Beebe Draw Seepage Ditch
and Land company has filed articles
Of Incorporation In the Office Of the
county clerk. The company is COM
posed Of farmers in the draw and
vicinity who have organized to put
through large drainage ditch, that
will reclaim a lot of seeped land as
we'll as developing a considerable
quantity Of water to be used upon
the arid lands on the heights about
the draw.
There is big quantity of water
that seeps through from the English
lake, the waste place from the Eng
lish ditch. This water has soaked
up great deal of land, so that it is
practically unfit for agriculture.
The new ditch begins we'll toward
the upper end of the draw and runs
toward the Latham reservoir, pass

up on to the highlands.

BURLINGTON SURE
New Evidence That Line is
Coming Here

Just couple of weeks ago the
Tribune made a guess that the Burl-
ington railroad was behind the So
called Colorado, Wyoming g. Idaho
line, which it IS proposed to run
from Denver to a mile west of Gree
ley and then westward, through Fort
Collins and into North Park, and
possibly on to Salt Lake.
The following special dispatch
from Omaha to the Cheyenne Leader
will show how nearly correct this
guess was:
' The eastern outlet of the Den
yer, Yellowstone s. Pacific railway
Colorado, Wyoming & ldaho), will
be new Burlington line from Fort
Collins to point on the Cheyenne
line about forty miles west of Holy
oke, said wellknown railroad
official.
Continuing, he said that The
Burlington unquestionabiy was be-
hind the Denver, Yellowstone &
Pacific, and that the road would
surely be constructed. While the
d. Y. s. P. would end at Fort Col
lins, he said, the road would really
extend to the main Colorado line, as
a new line would be constructed
from Fort Collins to point on. the
Cheyenne line within fifty miles Of
Holyoke.
THE Holyoke-Fort Collins line
will be nearly a straight line, and
will be constructed through a
country presenting few engineering
difficulties, asa majority of the
track will be laid over vast, fiat
plain.
1.-The Denver Yellowstone s.
Pacific. however, will present num-
ber of engineering difficulties. no
matter what route is selected. The
western outlet, of the D. Y. & p.
will be the extension Of the Burling-
toms Guernsey line to Salt Lake
City, which is to be constructed, nc
matter what reports TO the contrary
may be circulated. The junction
with the d. Y. & P. will be at a
point north Of Walcott, Carbon
county, Wyoming.

Supper and Pictures.

A church supper and afterward an
exhibition of lantern slides were
much enjoyed at the First Presby-
terian church last Friday evening.
The slides were the work of the Chi
cago, Syracuse and Trenton camera
clubs and were obtained through the
courtesy Of the Denver Photographic
society.
Some excellent bits of amateur
picture taking were shown. The
subjects of the pictures ranged as
wide as the fancy of the many men,
bers of the three clubs, but winter
scenes seemed to predominate. There
we're also some excellent animal pic
lures. Over so was received from
the supper.

Out of the water rents of the cur
rent year we have paid on engineer
ing, miscellaneous expenses, and
purchase of land about 81 200. Leav-
ing balance to be provided of $3l5,-
$50.
''The council has already pur-
chased the site for the sedimentation
and filtration basins. BY reason of
the fact that this long strip of land,
4, 900 feet in length, was required for
this purpose, parts of two farms
were required. In negotiating for
this land, it was discovered that it
was cheaper to buy all land from
the Pleasant Valley canal to the
river, some 145 acres, including 1865
inches of water of an early date.
than to purchase or condemn the
land required. Accordingly the
council purchased said 145 acres of
land and said water for the sum OF
81, 600. The amount of water pur-
chased will be sufficient for our i'm
mediate needs.
Statement Of the Receipts and Ex-
penditures Of tho Present System.
''Since the establishment OF the
present water system, 10 miles Of
distributing or service water pipe
has been laid. About half Of the
streets and avenues south OF First
street are now laid with service
pipe, so that fully half of the resi-
dence portion of the city is not yet
supplied with water service pipes so
that we may expect a large increase
in the use of water when these pipes
are laid, to say nothing of the in
crease In those portions of the city
now equipped with service pipes.
