EASTERN CAPITALISTS MAKE AN
An EXTENDED VISIT AND NOW
READY TO SPEND,
MORE BIG RESERVOIRS
HEAVY INVESTMENTS IN LAM
AND WATER SCHEMES ARE
FORTHCOMING.

Denver.-Ten million dollars To in,
eest in Colorado lands and irrigation
projects. This will help a lot in the do.
velopment of Northern Colorado. To
show that the offer is in good faith
the Pennsylvania GROVE who are max.
ing it have already 81, 600, 900 in Colo
RADIO ranches, improvements and cat.
tie. Among these investors are:
General James A. Beaver, ex-goyer.
nor of Pennsylvania and a prominent
! capitalist.
Charles H. Kittredge, a Boston
banker.
John H. Morse, president of the Old
Colony Life Insurance Company Of
Chicago.
James H. Kendall, a retired manu-.
facturer of Boston.
Thomas and Gilbert A. Beaver, New
York, capitalists and sons of General
Beaver.
The party left on a special train for
| Chicago. They came here very quietly
two weeks ago and arranged a trip
with the Colorado State Commercial
Association representatives and Fred
Johnson, representative of the cattle
interests of the state, through Routt
and Rio Blanco county, to look over
their interests and consider add.
tional Investments.
To Save the Water
The trip began at the Crescent Cat.
tie Company's properties near Divide;
next the party went through South
Park and Rifle a visited. The party
went through Meeker, along the Bear
river country, and to Kremmling. They
viewed Lilly park and after a thorough
and exhaustive examination of the
country returned to Denver.
General Beaver said at the Brown
hotel: THE thing that has struck me
most forcibly is your great waste Of
water. Irrigation is surely in its in.
fancy in Colorado. The waters should
be stored at the heads of the streams
and run through bitches that will con.
serve every drop.
We have seen the most magnificent
reservoir sites on u present trip and
back in Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts is the money to build
these storage places and conserve the
water to the greatest advantage.
Our people have more than a mil.
lion dollars out here now and there is
ten times as much money left for fur
lltr investment. COlOTduO seems W
me to be a land pregnant with POSSIBLE
tiles of great profit.
Il can promise you thai much heay.
Ter investments in land and water
schemes are forthcoming.
Values Will Grow.
Mining is uncertain, but there Is
only so much land in the country and
the acreage will not increase. The
value of land in Colorado will never
be lower than the market price today.
Instead it will constantly increase.
But as safe an investment as land
is money, put into conservative irriga'
ton projects"
At Meeker and Steamboat Springs
the citizens gave dinners and recep
lions to the party. The members are
returning home filled with enthusiasm
for Colorado land and water projects,
More than this, they already have
investments under favorable consider.
alton that will mean $4,000, 900 at
least for the development of Northern
Colorado.
Two companies for the distribution
of large amounts of money will be or
ganized as quickly as the party
reaches Philadelphia.
