Fruit Lands to be Opened on the West.
ern Slope of Colorado.

Twenty-Five thousand acres OF
the finest fruit lands in the state
are soon to be reclaimed from
their arid state to be transformed
into orchards. This enterprise is
being pushed by |. d. McFadden
and other parties from Paonia,
Colo. 1t is known to many that
Paonia is one OF the leading fruit
sections of the West. Bearing
orchards in this section are sell
ing readily for $1,000 to $500
per acre and 1t is proposed by the
parties. who will construct the
canal and reservoir for the re-
clamation of this new tract, which
lies in Montrose and San Miguel
counties, to make of this land as
valuable orchards as those about
Paonia. There is some of this
land yet subject to homestead
entry and with the payment of
S25 per acre for the water, the
land will be worth from $500 to
$500 per acre at once, as soon as
the water is put on it.-Ranch

Evidence of Our Growth.

Some time since we asked the
county superintendent, Miss
Emma G. Myers, for some sta
tistics of our growth from school
standpoint, and this week are
permitted to publish some figures
that more emphatically set forth
our increase in population than
any we have as yet succeeded in
securing. We doubt if there are
many counties in the state that
can show SO great an increase of
percentage. Below we print her
figures:
In 1901 there were | 1926 names
on the school census lists, in 1906
there were 5000. In that time the
increase in school buildings has
been from 81 to 36, with a seating
capacity then of 1859 to $500
now. The valuation of school
property then was S32, $50, now it
is S79,3S5. The assessed valua-
ton in organized school districts

Miss Susie c. Carpenter. a New

her debut in Grand opera at

ignited. 1t burns freely with a
strong flame which rises high
enough above the we'll to indicate
considerable pressure. The strike
will without question lead to the
sinking of other wells for in no
other place are the indications
for oil and gas better than in the
North Fork. 1t only required the
investment of trial hole to slim
ulate interest. This Col. Chinn
has done and now we may look
for considerable prospecting OF
our under ground resources.

on last TIludy tuC uiiiiSis d.
Col. Chinn's we'll struck good
strong flow of natural gas and the
pulse OF those interested went up
accordingly.
This well was started in the
summer of 1904. under charge of
+. w. Moutray, of Webb City,
Mo, who sunk the well 500 feet
before the water was shut off in
the Stewart ditch, thus putting a
stop to work for that season. In
the start the intent was to get
artesian water, but as water was
not struck, the work was pushed
along for general results. Col.
Chinn being a man who generally
gets what he is after or something
just as good.
In the spring of 1905 Mr.. Mou-
tray was unable to return and
prosecute the work and Col.
Chinn secured the services OF Mr.
Bly, who sunk a little over two
hundred feet, leaving the well in
the fall cascd down to the bottom
l,040 feet. The work was much
hampered that season by a series
of break downs and general bad
luck, but the promoter was not in
the least discouraged.
During all this time the drill
had not tapped anything of value.
Two distinct veins of salt water
were struck, the latter being very
strong brine, but both were cased
out and this spring Mr.. Moutray
was again installed as driller and
the work was pushed until at l.
500 feet this gas vein is found.
1t was necessary to shut down
work Saturday on account of the
death of child of o. J. Upde-
graft, the helper who has been
with the driller all the time. On
resuming work Thursday it was
found that considerable cave-in
had occurred and work was stop
ped temporarily until new four and
seven.eighths casing and a new
set of tools can be secured. The
bore up to this depth has been
maintained at fraction over six
inches but the intent now is to
drive a new casing and work with
a smaller drill.
To this end Mr.. Moutray lett
for Denver Friday morning
to secure the necessary sup
plies. The present outfit will
permit of sinking 5000 feet and
Col. Chinn will undoubtedly go
the length unless he strikes some
thing good earlier.
AT present the driller admits
that the prospects for a good gas
we'll are excellent and that the
oil prospects are very fair. On
Thursday a NEWSPAPER reporter
visited the we'll and saw the gas

BOOSTS FOR THIS VALLEY.
Ira Cline Does a Talk for Paonia while
Visiting Denver.

Of the greatest benefit to the
fruit growers of Paonia and vicin
ity, according to Ira Cline. a we'll
known resident of that part of the
country, is the improvement made
in the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
way system making a standard
gauge between Somerset, Delta.
Montrose and Grand Junction.
The opening of the standard gauge
line affords the fruit growers
facilities of almost ineStimable
value. The new line is now in
operation. The distance between
Somerset and Delta is 43 miles
and between Montrose and Grand
Junction 73 miles.
MIR. Cline visited Mrs. Martha
Shute, secretary of the state board
of horticulture at the state capi-
tol yesterday afternoon. He said:
The Denver & Rio Grande
railway has broadened its road
and has the standard gauge now
from Paonia and we no longer
transfer at Salida. In my opinion
this is saving of $50 fruit car.
AS it is now we have the refriger.
ator cars ventilated to Grand
Junction and there they are iced
for the east. Chicago and New
York buyers pay more now on
account OF this broad gauge.
When left Paonia few days
ago there were three Chicago
buyers and one New York buyer
there trying to contract for our
fruit, but no contracts have as yet
been made. The canning factory
and evaporater are both running
full blast and are using up the
fruit which has heretofore gone
to waste. 1t is estimated that the
crop this season will run all the
way from 1000 to l 800 cars.
LAS to the price on apples and
peaches, it will be above the aver
age. The early peaches are
being used in the evaporator and
for local consumption. We will
have a bigger crop this year in
the fancy and extra fancy peaches
because the June dropping was
heavy. No culls or third class
peaches, The Elberta peaches
will be put on the market about
the 25th of August.

will start from Paonia Wednesday,
August Sth. There will be a
dozen or more, and they will take
about 1000 acres of choice fruit

Paonia people have already taken
over 5000 acres in The Lilylands.

 projects have much local lacking and
 are frequently advocated in commercial gatherings Another class of projecta is intercoastal canals which shall con- meet leading ports along the coast. or
 shorten roundabout water routes which peninsulas now necessitate.
 The Cape Cod ship canal project was talked of only few days ago as hav- ing been revived by its promoters. A deep water canal between New York and Philadelphia on 6 much more conn prehensive scale than the one now in use is occasionally referred to. An other waterway connecting the mouth of the Delaware river with the Ches- apeake bay, saving hundreds of miles of steaming and sailing between Bal- timore and Philadelphia, Is annually urged before the rivers and harbors committee of congress. The deepen- ing of the Dismal Swamp canal, from Norfolk south to New Berne. North Carolina Is frequently advocated on grounds of naval advisability.

 There are repeated signs of public interest in waterways. Not only do we have the Panama Canal project constantly before our attention but the award of contracts for the con- struction of the New York barge canal calls to mind the fact that the State of New York has committed itself to a hundred million dollar waterway which is now in a process of con struction.
 Numerous other waterways are dis cussed from time to time among which are two leading classes of projects. The first of these is intended to com meet the Great Lakes with the Missis- sippi river system, either by way of the ohio at Pittsburg or by way of the illinois river from Chicago southward,
