FUNDS ARE ALLOTTED
Government Irrigation Projects
Receive Large Sums.

The secretary of the interior has
decided that the allotment to the
Uncompahgre irrigation project in
Colorado shall be $500, 0OO This
allotment is in accordance with his
adjustment of the reclamation fund,
based upon the recent estimates from
the general land office to the prob
able amount of this fund during the
next two years. Under the same de-
cision the Shoshone, Wyoming, pro-
ject is to receive 81. $50, 900; the
Strawberry valley, Utah, project
81, $50, 900; the North Platte project
So, $50, 600; Salt River, Arizona, pro-
ject 81, $50, l6l; Minidoka, Idaho,
81. $50, 600; Fayette Boise 81. 400. 600.
and the projects in New Mexico an
aggregate of 81, 1856, 900, divided as
follows: Honde 1886, 900, Carlsbad
5000, 900, and Rio Grande 5000, 900.
The principle which has guided
the secretary in distributing the
fund is to allot in the project where
the work is now furthest advanced,
and where returns from the outlay
may be expected in the near future.
The surveys and examinations al
ready made show that at least $780,,
600, 600 could be used to advantage in
various parts of the arid West. The
total fund, however, which will be
available from the proceeds of the
sale of public lands from 1901 to
1908 is now estimated by the general
land office at little over S4l, ,0OO,-
900. Therefore, in order to contin-
ue the work, it has become neceSsa-
ry that the money, or as much of It
as possible, be invested in projects
which will begin to yield returns at
the earliest possible date, SO that the
revenue derived from these works
may be used over again as soon as
possible for irrigation in other sec
tionS.
In several of the projects num-
ber of years must necessarily elapse
before the works viii be completed,
and such as these will not produce
a return for some years. Upon the
other hand, in Nevada the work has
advanced to point where upwards
of so. 900 acres are arleady under ir-
rigation and revenue may be expect
ed from this area. There are other
projects also nearing completion and
every possible effort is being made
to finish these so that they may be-
gin to repay the cost.

Wheat Crop Promising.

Indications are now that the
wheat crop for the Greeley district
this year will be the greatest in
years. So far there are no indica-
tions of rust, and unless there is a
continued spell of wet and warm
weather it is likely that there will
be none.
So far, the Investigations by Agri-
cultural College experts show that
the rust that was so prevalent last
year is a germ that attacks the plant
Wet and warm weather create the
ideal condition for the growth of the
germ which multiplies rapidly in
the wheat stalk. All nourishment
of the plant is shut Off by the germ
that finally bursts the tissues, and
the result is that the wheat never
fully natures.

trains will bring the big crowd back

Great Piece of Work.

Roller 4 Son of Fort Collins have
just completed for the Handy Ditch
company the largest and longest con-
crete fumes ever built in this state,
it is believed. This Hume was built
to carry the water appropriation of
the Handy ditch, 300 cubic feet per
second, over Dry creek, seven miles
southwest Of Loveland. 1t is 76S
feet in length, eight feet in width,
with twofoot sidewalks constructed
entirely of concrete. 1t rests on
concrete piers placed l6 feet apart,
except over the bed of the stream
where the span is % feet and the
piers % feet high. 1t is fine piece
of work and Is expected to last for
all time.

ANOTHER GOOD CROP
Candidates For Various County
Offices Announced.

1t is doubtful if George d. Statler
had known how good a job he did
have as county treasurer he would
have been willing to give it up vol
UNFAIRLY next fall. Now that he
sees the number of candidates in the
field for the place he begins to real
ize that he is going to get out Of a
good thing.
There are no less than six able
bodied and hustling candidates for
the nomination for treasurer on the
republican, ticket, and how many
more have 80 Tar been unable to
overcome their modesty and come
out openly for the Office Is profile
NAUTICAL. w. X. Patterson is already
campaigning for the Office. So is A.
n. Nixon, and so are George Web
ber, p. w. Allen. NJ. P. Henderson
and Warren Morse, although it is
said that If Warren can land that
big trout in Bear Lake, for which
he is now angling, the other fellow
can have the treasurershig of Weld
county. There is a little talk, though,
that he may try for the assessorship.
The scramble for the office OF rep
resentative from Weld county Is
almost as warm on the republican
ticket, as Is that for county
treasurer. Fl. c. Watson, G. G..
Townsend, of this city, Walter
Farr, of Eaton and 7. G. Winbourn
OF Ft. Lupton are all in the field,
with a few lesser lights making &C.
casional announcements.
The candidates for the republican
nomination for district judge talked
of in Greeley, are James E. Gar
igues, E. G. Smith and ID. f. Car
penter.
What the harvest will be with
such crop of candidates only a
fool or a stranger would try to pre-
dict.
Treasurer, representative, judge
and assessor, are the only offices for
which a great rush is expected.

THE CROP IS GREAT
Enormous Yield of Grain All
Over Country.

Indications that American farmers
this year will harvest the largest
grain crops in the history of the
country are given in statistics being
compiled by the government experts.
Nothing now seems In the way Of
unprecedented prosperity throughout
the Farming regions, especially in
the Western states.
Not only IL the prospect for a
bountif1l harvest most bright, but
market quotations show that the
farmer will get fair price for his
grain. Reports from Europe are
that the wheat crop there will be
$50, 900, 900 bushel short OF that Of
1905, indicating that the imports
will be large and that America will
have to provide good share.
The figures OF the United States
show that the winter wheat yield
runs ahead OF the famous crop Of
1901. The spring wheat promise is
so high as to indicate that, barring
accidents, all previous. records will
be surpassed. All of the Western
states, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
the Dakotas and Minnesotas, show
gains of from 3 to 10 per cent.
Total indicated grain yield,
4, pol .444, 900, bushels.
Inicated yield, July l, 1905, 4, ,2s3,
