Empire Ditch Breaks.

A bad break in the intake ditch for
the new Empire reservoir occurred at
night between Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week, and about 500 feet
of the embankment, near the Sanford
ranch. was washed out The Sanford
ranch was flooded and large por-
ton of it is now covered with sand to
a depth of three inches.
The actual damage to the canal will
probably cost $4,000 to repair. Be.
sides this there will be the damage to
the ranches to settle and the loss OF
water for the reservoir while the
break is being repaired.
The ditch was running 200 Gu.
bio feet of water into the reservoir
when the break occurred. The break
is about six miles, below the intake
from the Platte river.

HENRYLYN DISTRICT.
Big Irrigation Enterprise in Sou
thern Weld County.

Last Tuesday the officers of the
Henrylyn irrigation district, accom-
panied by the chief engineer, A. J..
McCune, located the initial point Of
the intake of the proposed great
canal system which will irrigate the
lands embraced in that district. The
point selected lies just above the dam
Of the Burlington canal, a short dis
tance below the stock yards, on the
South Platte river. Active work of
locating and cross-sectioning by the
engineer corps under direction of
Chief McCune will occupy about a
month, after which the estimates will
be given in the bids for the construc-
ton work. Preliminary lines have
already been run defining the boun-
daries of the district, which embraces
about $4,000 acres of land lying on
the Burlington railroad in the vicinity
of Henderson and Keene.
The plans contemplate the building
of several reservoirs, sites for which
have already been secured by the
district. They will be located on Box
Elder and other tributaries in that
locality. The main canal will carry
the winter flood waters from the
South Platte to these reservoirs,
which will be built also so as to catch
the local spring floods. For the first
thirty miles the canal will have double
capacity of the rest, and will supply
the whole district with ample water.
1t is intended that the system will
be completed by the spring of 1909. at
cost of s15OO,0OO, bonds for which
will be voted by the district.
A large part of the land to be
watered by this system is located in
Weld county.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A Greeley Citizen Shows
.s How 70 Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness:
when urinary trouble sets In they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all the other symp-
toms of kidney disorders. There is
just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The pest remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are cuased by weak or disordered kid
neys. Greeley people testify to per-
manent cures.
Mrs. F. NJ. O'Connor, living at
1902 Sixth avenue, Greeley, Colo,
says: II had pains across the kid
neys and over my hips, often extend
ing down into my limbs, and my back
was weak and found 1t very hard to
