Never Touched Chicago.

Chicago.-The officials of the banks
of this city are a unit in declaring
that never in the history of the city
have its financial institutions been on
as sound a basis as they are at pres
ent.
Following the failure of the Chicago
National bank two years ago, the Chi

satisfied with the state and national
inspection of banks. appointed an in
spector of its own at a salary double
that paid by the government for sim
liar work. The inspectors bureau
has the power to audit banks at any
time and as consequence all the
banks know exactly every day the con
dition of the other banks. When
bank demurs to the work of the audi
tor. it is promptlF denied clearing
house facilities. The result has been
in the last two years that number
of weak institutions have been com
PEELED to liqudate, and that the banks
of this city are stronger today than
they have ever been.
Cashier b. NJ. Chattell of the Hi
nois Trust and Savings bank declared
today that there are no weak spots in
the banks of Chicago. There is not
only money here in sufficient guam
titles, he said, for the ordinary de
of all the grain crops in the West
Money is as plentiful here as 1t ever
is at this time of the year.

The reservoir site, which was pur.
chased three weeks ago, covers 1O,-
600 acres and the South Platte river
runs through the Antero basin. To-
night it was decided to send survey

A dam 1000 feet long. 35 feet high,

S250,000. will be built for the Antero
reservoir. The two reservoirs of g.
2O0000,000 cubic feet capacity will be
supplied from the South Platte and its
tributaries. Ten miles of ditch with a
capacity of 1000 second-feet will fur
ther supply the reservoir from the
north fork of the South Platte, Four
Mile creek and High creek. The res
ervoir draws from 500 square miles of
land with the reputed best snowfall in
the state and its waters are practically

other parts of the state as in the Ar.
kansas valley, and the acreage in mel.
ons will be materially increased next
year.
When one comes to consider the re-
turns made this year on the fruit or.
chards of the western slope the fig
ures are even more astounding. No
wonder that Missouri threw up her
hands in despair when she gazed on
the product of the Colorado orchards
of the western slope and without more
ado awarded the state a first grand
premium on its display, a thing never
before done in the history of the state.
Practically the only fruit grown in the
state this year has been on the west
ern slope. Orchards in other sections
were put out of business by the late
frosts.
]. F., Moore, manager of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association,
gave me some interesting data over
the phone yesterday. Up to date there
have been shipped from Grand juno
tion alone 40 cars of fruit.
Shipments during the week just
ended averaged sixteen cars day
Twenty-Five cars went out last night
The average returns on these cars, fig
ured at a low estimate, is placed at
81 200 a car LIttle Paonia will ship
about seventy-five cars of apples this
fall. These will net 81 800 car. Re-
turns from other fIuit-shipping points
are not yet in hand.
1t is probable that before the sea
son has closed not less than 1000 cars
and probably nearer 1,5OO, will have
gone out of Grand Junction. The re-
tIrp frrt IL Il
pears netted the growers s132 257
Fourteen cars of pears shipped within
three days from Grand Junction net
ted $23,S74, or s1,7O5 per car. Is it
any wonder, then, that land is going
up by leaps and bounds in that sec
tion of the state? The only wonder is
that land is as cheap as it is.
In all of the irrigated districts of
the state. the harvests. all crops con-
sidered, break the records for quality
and quantity. Take Weld county as a
fair example. Farmers will average
from $50 to $50 per acre clear on all
crops grown this year if present signs
do not fail. Fifty cars of potatoes a
day are leaving the Greeley district
and this number would be largely in
creased if the cars We're to be had
Growers are receiving siXty-five cents
per hundredweight for the potatoes
low estimate is 100 sacks to the
acre. Ten thousand carloads of pota-
toes will be shipped from the district
alone during the year.
Never before in northern Colorado
have wheat, oats and barley yielded
so heavily or tested so well as this
year. Alfalfa has done exceptionally
well. Vegetables and berries were
good crop. Taken all together, the
year has been Colorado's best. And
that is saying all that can be said.
Five years ago there were not 25,-
600 acres of land under cultivation in
the so-called sem-arid belt of eastern
Colorado This year the acreage is
about 1.OOOO0O. and exceptionally
good crops without irrigation have
been raised. Think of the Increase
from $4,000 to 100000 in five years.
Isn't Colorado growing, and grow
ing wonderfully?
No man may dare predict what it's
future will be-
Should any man lie ashamed to say
he lives in Colo 10?
Rather should ne not be proud of
the fact that he lives in such an
abundantly blessed state?

SUGAR BEETS
MORE MONEY IN CIRCULATION IN
COLORADO THAN EVER BE.
FORE, SAYS YOUNG.
HARD TIMES RUN AWAY
COLORADO is GROWING RAPIDLY,
BUT IN A SUBSTANTIAL AND
PERMANENT WAY.

Denver.-James B. Young. secretary
OF the Colorado State Commercial As
sociation. has prepared the following
conservative statement:
ANY man in Colorado is justified in
talking prosperity in the state at the
present time. Conditions are good
The farmers are prosperous. Crops
have been good. There is not an idle
man, II man is looking for work, in
the state. The financial institutions
OF the state are in good condition, ex-
cellent condition. We hear talk of a
stringency existing in the financial
market in New York. There is no
such strilIgency existing in Colorado.
True, the state of affairs in the East
gives the banks of Colorado a chance
to make loans that ordinarily would be
handled in The East. but even now we
are away above our reserve. State
ment of Thomas Keely, Vice President
First National Bank.
The statement of Keely is that of a
conservative man of affairs, one who
keeps his finger on the financial pulse
OF the state, and who Is not given to
exaggerGtion. From reports which
have been collected in the office of the
Colorado State Commercial Associa-
tion within the last week believe that
the next published statements of the
banks of the state are going to be
mighty interesting reading. l believe,
although predictions along this line as
rule are risky, that the deposits of
the banks of Colorado when compiled
will prove to be big surprise to most
people.
