More Ancient History.

= A friend from Highlandlake sends
the following additional paragraph
to add to the history of the Lake
country:
'At the time the earliest settlers
located at the Lake. there was no
lake-simply a bowl-like depression
in the ground-its greatest depression
being about twenty-five feet below
the surface of the surrounding land.
Through this the stage ran from
Greeley to Longmont. Recognizing
this to be an excellent site for
reservoir the owners of the land,
Messrs. Pound and Mead, planned to
turn In water as soon as the canal
should be completed. Later Mr..
Mead stocked the body of water with
black bass. When alfalfa was first
introduced, Mr.. Pound raised num-
Der of acres, and thinking IT would
be good for hogs, he bought 800 and
turned them into the fields, but the
comparatively small area was not
sufficient for the number Of hogs and
the venture was failure. r. S.
True was married in Greeley and
took his bride by stage to Longmont,
riding through what is now the bed
of the lake" :"
