Special to Denver Republican.
Greeley, Colo. Mar. 1.-D. A. Cam
field OF Greeley, one OF the greatest

moters In the west, has secured an op-
tion on the Montezuma ditch, owned
by the Montezuma Land & Water COM
pany, in the southwestern part Of this
state. near Cortez, for $25O,000.
Some 10000 acres OF fine fruit land
is now irrigated by this ditch, between
whose owners, the Denver National
bank, the Colorado State bank of
Durango and the Farwells of Chicago.
and farmers under the ditch there
has been considerable litigation for

cation district embracing 10000 acres

Cortez and bonded for 1926, 700. which
and turned over to Mr.. Camheld on
completion of the project, which must
be finished by May /. 1908, in payment
for his work.
The work to be done is considerable
and consists not only In enlarging the
bitches. the combined length of which
ID 100 miles, but also in building the
two reservoirs to be known as the
"Groundhog' and the Nara GUN.
nipp." The combined capacity OF
these reservoirs will be 100000, 900
cubic feet OF water, to be drawn from
the Dolores river
Eighteen years ago work was be
gun on these bitches. which Mr.. Cam
| field, proposes, by adding to and by
making reservoirs. to make into one

value of land in this already produc-
tive fruit section. Two hundred men
will be put at work soon In enlarging
the bitches and including the reser-
voirs. At about the same time that
the Montezuma irrigation enterprise
Is begun, Mr.. Camheld will start to

Las Animas irrigation district, south
OF Las Animas and east Of Lamar.
This district embraces 100000 acres
and has recently Issue $l,300.0O0 In
bonds. which Mr.. Camfeld will re-
ceive in payments on Its completion

be 11O miles OF ditch and Ave rover
voIrs, one OF which will have capac-
ity OF 5000. .000.00 cubic feet of wa

and his associates the free use of the

tions OF any kind from the merchants
that calling upon the business com

tee representing the fair directory and
the stockholders, which include al
most every business man in the city,
in giving the free use of the grounds,
makes 1t possible for those desiring
to take hold of the racing meet to
arrange a good program with small

ed, to give a guarantee that the pro

and see II they will join him in the
venture and take chances of making
or losing money. Suppose ten men
pool ON this the losses, If any, will be
small, while they stand a splendid
show OF making good money because
clear weather and a good program the
attendance will be large and the re-
ceipts give big returns for the chances
taken. But the fair committee wants
1t distinctly understood that there is
to be no soliciting for the guarantee
fund and those going into the project
do SO for the love of the sport and
