bnrg irrigation district is-'one of the
best, If not the best, water supplied
districts in the West.
In addition to the reservoir filing
for the storage OF water, the district
has flood water filing, which enables
1t to run water during the irrigation
season through the inlet ditch and
reservoir and distribute it. to the lands
uhder the outlet.
The outlet ditch is twenty-six miles
long. twenty five feet wide at the
bottom. thirty-four feet at it's top. and
four and one half feet deep. 1t can
carry 400 cnbic water per second. The
Peterson and Settlers bitches, whose
courses you can follow on the map, are
also used as distributing laterals for
the reservoir water. They have, res
pectively, pri.rties Of $50 and 250
cubic feet per second OF time in the
normal flow of the Platte River, which
is in addition to the reservoir and
flood water filings for the High Line
ditch, and which, when expedient,
can be taker from the river at the
head-gate of the inlet to the reservoir,
This is another very important and
valuable feature is our irrigation
system.
BY means of these three bitches the
entire district can be irrigated in less
than ten days.
By referring to the map you will
note that both the main line and
Denver branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad extend through the district.

mail, passenger and freight service for

pass through the district daily. Be-

are side tracks where farm products
may be loaded for shipment, with a
twentyfuur hour run to the market Of
the Missouri River and a twelve-hour
run to those of Denver.

always good. The several country
school houses in the district are
located on the map. They are all
excellent frame buildings, aud are
supplied with libraries and organs. A
nine months term OF school is con.

materially enter into the consideration
and reason why the Julesburg irriga-
tion district is desirable and ad
vantageous locality in which to live.
The soil is OF the best, being a dark,
sandy loan. The elevation of the
district is 3, 456 feet.
The Peterson and Settlers bitches
have been in operation for some years.
Alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley and corn
have been abundantly aud profitable
grown. The soil and climate are also

raising, and now. with abundant
reservoir water held in storage, mure
time will be devoted to the raising OF
sugar beets, onions, potatoes, canta'
loups and all the more highly
remunerative products, for the sue.

noted. But for this more intense
farming We need more farmers. We
have room for hundreds Of families,
and the district needs them to help
develop and bring it under the highest
state OF cultivation possible. With a
view to supplying this need. and with
