NEW GAME LAWS
Hunters Say These Would be
Too Stringent

The Taylor bill, providing greater
strinrency in the game laws OF tine
state, has aroused much discussion
outside of the legislative halls and
the hunters of Colorado are eXamin-
ing it critically. The veteran hunter
Is opposed to game laws more string
ent than they are now, and believes
that some Of them work hardship
on a large number of people.
According to an old hunter there
is a fact that many people do not
realize, and that is that hundreds,
YES, thousands Of young doves are
killed In the alfalfa fields every year
by the same farmers who complain OF
hunters trespassing on their land,
and so ask for more stringent game
The Greeley tribune., 1907-03-07

laws. Every time the alfalfa is cut,
which is two or three times year.
the nests of the doves in the thick
grass are destroyed and multitudes of
the young birds are slaughtered.
More doves are killed at a single cut
ting of alfalfa than ten times the
present number Of sportsmen could
kill in the whole year.
The game laws directly affect the
tourist patrons of Colorado and the
consequent prosperity Of the state.
Men who come here first as tourists
become interested in our mines,
bitches, stock raising and agricul-
ture. Then they inquire as to game
laws and the opportunities for hunt
ing game Of all sorts.
The game law which provides for
the killing Of buck deer only Is far
from right and should be done away
with. The law should provide for
the killing Of what are known as
barren does as we'll and the open sea-
son should be from the 18th of Oc-
tober to the 18th of November

LAND OF MONTEzUMA
Greeley Man Being Interested
in Country

D. A. Camfield is figuring on re-
viving the old Montezuma irrigation
enterprise near Cortez, Colo, by tak-
ing large issue of bonds of an irri
cation district just formed there and
lDsu aaa FIST .DdR
60. 900 acfes Of what could be mads
fRood fruit land has been organized
| and the district wants to dispose OF
$3.50, 600 worth of bonds.
The old Montezuma Land s. Water
company has had hard time OF 1t
for years, trying to maintain the old
irrigation system there after it was
constructed. The settlers had more
or less trouble with the water COM
pany and finally four years ago some
of them sent to Greeley for some
practical irrigation men to go over
and examine the enterprise and see
if experienced farmers and irrigators
could not be induced to settle in the
valley. H. NJ. DeVotie, Alex Mead
and John Nelson went over there
and the latter died shortly after, 1t
is said, as direct result of the ex-
posure to bad weather upon that
trip, which was made in February
with the snow sixteen inches on the
level.
Mr.. Devote says they found an
extensive system of bitches and lat
erals there, but in poorly kept con-
dition. The Inhabitants were cat
tlemen who knew little or nothing
about farming and the valley was
away 16 to 20 miles from the nearest
railroad, the Rio Grande narrow
gauge. He believes, however, that
they have good country there, but
it will take transportation facilities
and a good class of farmers to develop
it. In the first place it will prob
ably cost 500 to $25 an acre to clear
the scurb timber of the land

PLAN AGAIN
POUDRE VALLEY DITCH MAY
NOW BE EXTENDED
Negotiations With Laramie Res
ervoir and Irrigation Com
pany Pending May
Mean Much

Negotiations are pending between
the Poudre Valley Reservoir COM
pany and the Laramie Reservoir g.
Irrigation company by which the
latter hopes to have water carried
through the former company's ditch
to reclaim a considerable area of arid
land above the present irrigated
country.
The Poudre Valley company asks
loan of S75, 900 from the other COM
pany in order to complete the Poudre
Valley ditch to the big basin, known
as the Cobb lake, about ten miles
northeast of Fort Collins. This is
the. point that it was hoped to have
reached by the Poudre Valley ditch
when the system was first planned,
but owing to the enormous cost of
ditch construction the plan had to
be abandoned for the time being for
want of funds. Already $500, 600 has
been expended on the system and the
company has the ditch completed a
short distance past Douglas lake.
Could the s75. 900 be borrowed from
the Laramie Reservoir & Irrigation
company 1t would probably require
an additional $50, 900 to complete the
ditch to the big reservoir. But with
this completed and tho reservoir
completed the Poudre Valley COM
pany would have storage room fol

possible to carry the Laramie com
pany's water that far, and then fol
that company to extend the ditch
eastward toward Num-.
The Laramie Reservoir & lrrfga-
tion company owns system OF lakes
known as Link lakes, and also the
Poor reservoir on the upper Poudre.
This company also has some plans
for tunnelling the Medicine Bow
range of mountains and bringing
water through from the Laramie
river.
In order to provide more storage
room B. D. Sanborn has been ap-
preached about including Boyd lake
In the scheme. Boyd lake lies on
the divide between the Poudre and
Thompson rivers and can be filled
from either and can also run water
| into either valley.
Another meeting was held here
last Monday to talk over more of the
plans and their feasibility.
