Tha, Mr.. Fosdiek. ono Of the principle
stockholders Of tho Puro Springs Water

,hs, a s,and-pipe will be crested JUS,
north Of tho river bridge and arranged
with cutoff to bo used In case the

tho town erecting a ssandpipe where the
main enters tho town Of Hansanola for
the purpose Of storing water for fire pro-
lection Is being talked over. No arrange
inonts have been made for tho use Of the
spring water by manzanola citizens. The
company will probably eree, s.andpipes

located in tho section between Rocky
Ford and Swink and get their views In
reference 10 aiding tho scheme by grant
ing right Of way through their lands.

tho proposition Of having . road. and
agreed to accept half tho market value
Of such land as might Be needed. While
they would be willing TO give the land
outright u they were 70 b tho only bon.
eaeiaries they held that tho cost Of right
Of way should In part be borne BY ad-
joining lands that would also b psopor-
tionassly benefited. This was sasisfae-
tory to tho promoter who already has the
assent Of property owners east Of Swink
to La Junta. and this part Of tho projset
seems to be safely assured.

the projset planned BY Mr.. Alnutt. Il Is
the confident expectation Of himself and
those interested with him that extensions
Of tho system will rapidly b made up

Soining country. and that the important
