To REDEEM EMPIRE
Of ARID COLORADO
Plans for Largest Private Irri-
cation Enterprise Ever
Undertaken.

DENVER, Aug. 2S.-Recently there
has been fled with the State Engineer
of Colorado papers which have for their
purpose the redemption Of nearly 1000
600 acres Of arid land, the largest II
rigation proposition that has ever been
undertaken by private capital Frank
j. Mccarthy, a civil engineer of Den
yer. is now drafting plans to build 4
reservoir that will cover twenty-four
square miles, have an average depth of
thirtyfve feet, and will use the entire
surplus water of the Platte river.
Heretofore il has been estimated that
SO, ,ll5,0 600 cubic feet Of water was
wasted yearly in the Platte river,
water which if properly diverted and
used on land adjoining would irrigate
100000 acres Of land and would sup
port several thousand people.
TINS proposition is being financed by
a syndicate Of New York and London
bankers. Engineer Mccarthy esti,
mates that the reservoir and dam will
cost in the neighborhood of S4,000,000.
The work will commence about October
/ of this year

MAY Be A MURDER
IN This MYSTERY
Body of Leading Los Angeles
Citizen Is Found i'm Suburb
of the City.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Aup. 2s.-The
body of James n. Hyde, manager of
the Crystal Water company of 1913
Morton avenue, was found at Twenty
seventh street and Fourth avenue, in
the southwest suburb Of the city this
morning. II was at first thought that
Hyde may have committed suicide, but
later developments seem to indicate that
he had been murdered. A cap of car
bolic acid was found beside the body
and this first gave rise to tho suicide
theory, but the authorities, upon in
vestigating, found two or three large
bruises about the head and evidence Of
internal bleeding. 1t is thought the
cup of poison may have been placed
to give an indication of suicide. But
a few cents in money was found on
the body, although Hyde usually car
rled quite a sum-
Mr.. HYDE left his bottling works yes
terday and ii is supposed the crime
was committed late yesterday after
noon or last night. The place where
the BODY was found is q sparsely set
tied neighborhood
Later investigation showed that 1t
was probably a case Of suicide. Hyde
had no relatives in this city, but a
sister resides in Minneapolis and his
step-mother in Chicago.
