FOR COLORADO
EASTERN CAPITALISTS MAKE AN
AN EXTENDED VISIT AND NOW
READY TO SPEND.
MORE BIG RESERVOIRS
HEAVY INVESTMENTS IN LAND
AND WATER SCHEMES ARE
FORTHCOMING

Denver-Ten million dollars to in
vest in Colorado lands and irrigation
projects. This will help lot in the de-
velopment OF Northern Colorado. To
show that the offer is In good faith
the Pennsylvania crowd who are max
ing 1t have already 100000 in Colo

tie. Among these investors are:
General James A. Beaver, ex-gover-
nor of Pennsylvania and 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 addi-
tlOnal 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 was 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: 1.-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 our 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 mil
lion dollars out here now and there Is
ten times as much money left for fur
ther investment. Colorado seems to
me to be a land pregnant with POSSIBLE
tiles of great profit.

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 1t 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

Odessa.-The police of this city have
arrested the sailor, Mathuschenko, who
led the mutiny on board the Russian
battleship Kniaz Potemkine in the
summer of 1905. Mathuschepko has
beeen in New York, where he was en-

turned to Russia in disguise and under
a false name and sattled at Nikolavae.
He was followed by detectives and ar

thrown into prison. They will be court

What uinta Farms Can Raise.

Denver-C. B. Hutchinson came to
Denver from the Uinta reservation
with bouquet of wheat. The heads
looked as though the Indian canal
were finished. Mr.. Hutchinson, who
was one of the first to take up claim
when the government opened the reser-
walton, wishes the public to understand
that dry farming at his ranch near
Myton, on the banks of the Duquesne,
is ideal. He is raising timothy of man.

can be raised on the reservation as
soon as the irrigation bitches are COM

An official tour Of inspection shows
that wherever reasonable attention
and care have been given the trees are
doing well.
The interest elected by the college
movement has resulted in the planting
of a good many thousands of trees by
citizens over the state and prepare
lions are making for the planting of
many more.
The state should take this work In
hand and intelligently lead the farm
ers to the planting of millions of trees
for use and profit. Some of the states
are taking hold of this feature OF en-
couragement and assistance. Vermont
has passed a law to establish state
nursery from which to supply farmers
with trees at the lowest possible cost.
Kansas has a law that has established
two nursery stations furnishing
the farmers of the state over
two millions annually free of cost.
This is the proper way to do It. espe-
cially In the great West where trees
are so much needed and where their
planting is a matter OF SO much ben
eft. The planting of trees in Kansas
seems to have about overcome the
deadly hot winds formerly so disas-
trous to farming.
