had sufficient energy and capital to
do 1t, and to do 1t quietly and without
publicity, is worthy of remark.
The people of Denver have been
pleased to learn that this enterprise
is in the hands Of company able to
carry 1t to successful conclusion, and
the effect of the completion of these
works upon the growth and prosperity
OF Denver will be felt Immediately by
every business interest in the city.
The project has now reached a
stage where the actual work Of con-
struction Is beginning on reservoir,
to be completed in two years, which
will probably be the largest irrigation
reservoir ever constructed by private
capital.
Not less noteworthy than some of
the other unique features Of this man.
moth scheme Is the fact that its pro-
moters are doing It all themselves.
They are not asking any stock sub
scriptions or bonus assistance from
Denver capital.
They have put up their own money
for the purchase Of some large sys-
TENS of canals which have. for many
years, been irrigating successfully, for
early crops, large tracts Of land, with
water taken from the streams during
the flowing season.
They have bought large bodies of
the land which Is to be irrigated. be-
sides sites for reservoirs, rights of
way for main canals, laterals, etc.
The union or merger of all these in
terests In order to secure maximum
OF results at minimum of cost Is an
accomplishment which, after many
months of patient and involved nego-
tiations has brought about the organ
fgation Of the Denver Reservoir Irri-
cation company.
The effect will be seen In the rapid
development of small farms, within
an hours ride Of Denver. devoted to
the raising of high-priced crops
potatoes, tomatoes, sugar beets, fruits,
etc.--So that, almost before we real
lie II, Denver will be the center of q
community of market gardens OF 10
to 40 acres each, whose incomes will
be enjoyed by thousands of families
formerly shaving away their lives TO
raise crop Of grain on the uncertain
farming lands of the middle and east
ern states.

MaanfyIna Choir Leaders Voice.

In the old village or Braybrook In
Northamptonshire, England. is mon
ster trumpet, five six inches In length,
and having bell-shaped end two feet
one inch in diameter. The trumpet is
made up Of ten rings. which In turn
are made up OF smaller parts. The
use Of this trumpet-only four Of the
kind are known to exist at the present
day--was to magnify the voice OF the
leader in the choir and summon the
people to the church service. At the
present time neither the choir nor
the service is in need of this extraor-
binary musical instrument" but the
vicar Of the church takes care of the
ancient relic and is fond Of showing Il

A NEW IRRIGATION PROJECT
II Will Make the NoD Arid Lands Near the City of Dem
of Great VaLue-CoIorado an
Agricultural State.

Such development requires, as q
first requisite, an assured water sup
ply. The investment In homes Is SO
large, and the acreage value of crops
grown under such conditions 30 great,
that these must not be jeoparded by
the vicissitudes of seasons.
One reason why this requisite has
not been supplied, and why 30 much
OF the land Immediately adjacent to
Denver has never been improved, Is
that land values would not justify the
expenditure required to provide the
water supply. Those lands which
could be irrigated at small cost have
long been under irrigation. but the
limit Of cheap irrigation does not
cover half the lands that surround the
city.
The great increase in land values
which has taken place all over the
United States in the last five years
has now made practicable an outlay
for water which ten years ago could
not have been considered. This en-
hancement In land values Is shown In
Colorado by the increase from $25 to
$4,000 an acre at Grand Junction. and
from 500 an acre to $1,000 and $1,000
an acre at Cayon City.
No section or city equals Denver in
the extent of its local market or in
It's transportation facilities for reach
Ing distant markets, and the time has
now come when the values of the
lands around Denver and the possibili-
ties for their extensive cultivation will
warrant an expenditure for water In
almost any amount.
1t Is, therefore, with great salts
faction that Denver contemplates GER
tain irrigation projects now launched
by some of It's own leading citizens for
the establishment of reservoir sys-
tenn which shall assure a sufficient
supply of water, during the entire
growing season, to a large area Of
semi-arid lands lying within rs miles
of the state capitol building, and ex-
tending from just without the city
limits OF Denver to points north and
northeast Of the city where the lands
Of the Longmont, Greeley and Brigh-
ton districts are touched.
The development Of an enterprise Of
this magnitude requires large capital.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

LAST year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case Of eczema,
] resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
I'm July Of this year a little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
Of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
snointing them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So We have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

Damage to Fruit Exaggerated.

"lf nothing further happens to in
jure the buds, we will ship more
fruit from the Snake river orchards
this year than last"
This statement was made last eve
ming by George f. Crum, of White
Bros. C Crum.~ after he had returned
from a second trip of inspection to
the orchards below Lewiston on the
Snake river. On Monday he found
that several big orchards this side of
the LaFollette farm has escaped
damage and yesterday his trip dis
closed that practically not bud had
chard, just below the LaFollette
place.
81 expect this orchard alone to turn
off 20 carloads of fruit" said Mr.:
Crum. "In the orchards that escar-
ed damage a banner yield will result
and this fact justifies the estimate
that we will handle more fruit from
that district than during any season
in the past"
Mr.. Crum states that at the LaFol-
lette farm the fruit met with damage
but that the crop will in all probable
ity measure up to SO per cent OF
what had been expected. He states
also that review of the situation
along the river shows that the cold
wave had taken a freak" course,
lodging some orchards while striking
others in the same locality. He ex-
presses the view that in the immedi'
ate Lewiston valley, later investiga-
tion will show that the loss suffered
was not nearly so severe as at first
feared and reported.
This estimate by Mr.. Crum has
been supported by Investigations
made Yesterday by L. A. Porter and
w. A. White.
From Vineland also came informa.
