LA JARA RESERVOIR
TO Be COMPLETED

This week Messrs. Ord, Swope
and Anderson closed the deal
whereby they took over all of the
property belonging to the La Jara
Reservoir company, commonly
known as the Braiden Reservoir
Co., and announce their intention
of completing the dam next spring.
1t will be remembered that these
gentlemen were the contractors to
whom Messrs. Braiden, Stark. ct
al. let the contract. IA couple of
years ago, to put in the dam in the
La Jara meadows. At that time
they did something over $4,000
worth of work Oh their contract
and were unable to collect so much
HIS ii dollar of it. Since that time
they have been endeavoring to get
some sort of IA settlement with the
Braiden company andthe deal Just
closed is the result of their efforts.
They are men of the highest
business standing and we are more
than pleased TO announce to our
readers that they have purchased
all of the rights and titles of the
Braideu crowd in this property and
that when they state that the res
cryoir will be rushed to completion
that their statement will be made
good.
They are now acquiring title
to all of the land within the reser-
voir survey, having purchased sew
cral ranches the past few days.
These are the kind of men Cone
jos county wishes to become inter
csted within her borders and the
kind that are benefit and boon to
any commonwealth. That their
enterprise will now be crowned
with success goes without saying
and that it will be lasting benefit
to our district is equally true.
