poets to take up the work immedi-
ately.
Contracts for power have been
made with the Northern Colorado
Power company, an expert electrical
engineer is said to have been en-
gagged for the work and contracts for
supplies will be entered into before
President Frank Trumbull. who has
been in Colorado tor a few days,
leaves the state. Five or six months
will probably be required to do the
work.
"We have not decided If we will
build another line between here and
Boulder for the electric system,
says Mr.. Parker, ''or IL we will use
the rails we have and put trolley
wire above them. Both schemes
have their advantages. We are con-
sidering all such points now"
Mr.. Parker says that the Colorado
g. Southern is not interested in the
Northern Colorado Power company,
although Hallgarten & Co., the New
York bankers handling Colorado &
nthern bond issues, is said to be
lhCei',,od in the deal. The Colo

OVER GROVER WAY
Underflow That Overflows Has
Been Discovered

The story ofa wonderful underfiow
OF soft water comes from Grover, by
way of Denver where it has grown
fat, no doubt. But according to
this story things are just about right
at Grover at the present writing.
A Mr.. Huff, over there, is said to
be responsible for the rich strike of
water, on his ranch about five miles
west of Grover, and it is said to be
believed that there is great under
ground lake in that vicinity and all
that is necessary to make thousands
of dollars worth of nice. cold, soft
water gosh forth is to puncture the
earth to a depth of seventeen feet,
and the waLsr will gush forth,
spread itself ovel the land without
the aid of irrigatms bitches, and
then go into the ground as,in, to be
brought to the surface by Other -vells
farther down the valley.
There are said to be 4, 100 acres II
sugar beets, potatoes and peas III
that section, and if the underflo"
continues to overflow, it is believed
that at least 40, 900 acres of land car
be brought under irrigation IN this
way.
The water is very soft, and is pure
magnesia, containing no trace o.
alkali. 1t is really better tilal
rainwater for sugar beets.
"You might think the valley II

saws Mr.. Huff. Steam plows are
being used to put in 1000 acres O
winter wheat on the high table lanes
above the valley. Colorado VII

bilities in that part of the state
think that the region around Grove
will become one of the Creates
wheat empires in the west.

slack from certain mines. The
most modern electrical machines
known will be installed. Practically
the entire plant will be automatic.

bonds will be for the installation OF
the Lafayette plant and 25O miles of
transmission lines to all parts of

right as the then possessor of the

vented the only disturbance (rloD that

be shown to be a technical assault on

The Board of Health has for its own
