be held until Faw should have COM
pleted his payments on the land.
II is now charged that Faw several
weeks ago obtained water right on
the land in question at the same
point that one had been granted to
Patrick some time before. Faw
proved to the satisfaction Of the
state that Patrick had done no work
in regard to piping or in other ways
moving the water. as is required by
law to hold a water right Of the
kind in question, and that as he had
constructed a water duct. he was en-
titled to the water right. The plans
were made out in exactly the same
way as were those Of Patrick. even
to the extent of stating that the
water was to be used in system
costing S4O0, 600 for the conveyance
Of water to Arkansas Valley towns.
The only difference in the plans was
that the name of Faw was substitut-
ed for that of Patrick.
Faw recently attempted to get lr-
rigation ditch rights to use with his
water right. Upon the statements of
Patrick. who has leased the land for
twelve years, the state took the mat
ter under consideration. The water
system venture has been looked for
ward to with much expectancy by
the people of the valley towns, who
would be much benefited by the pro-
ject. From all that can be learned
much capital can be obtained by Faw
for the furtherance of the scheme.

HISTORY OF eAw WATER PROJECT

The pure water supply project
now being developed in the Box
Springs country by Colonel Jack
Faw. for the use and benefit of vari-
Gus towns in the Arkansas Valley.
has an interesting history. Develop
ment work has been in progress for
several months on G.. F. Patrick 5
ranch, thirty-two miles north of La
Junta, but was abandoned few
days ago because of 'misunder-
standing between F'aw and Pat
rick. Colonel Faw last week pur-
chased 100 acres adjoining the Pat
rick ranch on the north and has al
ready commenced the work Of de-
veloping pure water supply on his
own land. The last issue Of the
Sugar City Gazette relates the his
tory Of the Faw water project from
its incipiencv. and as most of
our readers are more or less inter-
ested in the effort being made to Sc
cure this water supply for La Junta
It is herewith presented for their
edification. as follows:
According to the papers in the
case, contract was signed by both
men December l, 1906. giving FaS
an option of $40 acres of farming
land. and leasing privileges on other
land under the control of Patrick,
the larger part being government
land which is held under lease. The
option called for the payment of So
600 of the purchase price, on May |.
1907. However, after Faw looked
over the ground, a supplementary
contract was made between the two
men which stated that Patrick was
to receive one-fourth interest in a
gigantic water company " h h
should be known as the Arkansas
Valley Water Supply and Pipe Com
pany, and do all the legal work of
the enterprise. The intention at
