great central water power plant at
Gore canon in Grand county, will
put In similar plant on the upper
Poudre. Surveyors have been in the
field for several weeks working on
the plans. 1t is intended to turn
the entire Zimmerman valley. at
Home, Colo, into big lake 200 feet
deep. To do this dam will be
constructed in the canon that will
back the water up for distance OF
seven miles.
The lake will not quite reach the

stead Of spelling the place for sum-

Kindred. One Of these reservoir
sites is located at the head of Beebe
Draw, fifteen miles east Of Greeley
This is the reservoir that It was re,
ported the Colorado Mortgage & In,
vestment company was to construct.
1t is estimated that the cost Of
constructing this reservoir will be
Sis, 900, and it will have q storage
capacity of l,4Oo. 900 cubic feet OF
water and cover over 1000 acres al
high water. The reservoir is to be
filed by winter food waters from the
South Platte river through the new
Fulton high line ditch, which these
same men have had surveyed and
will commence construction work on
early In the spring.
The other reservoir proposition is
called the Box Elder reservoir and is
a much more expensive scheme
The estimated cost of this is $3.50, OOo.
and its storage capacity close to tive
billion cubic feet of water. The
dam for this will have to be thrown
clear across the Box Elder valley and
would be mile and half long and
about fifty feet high. This is 10.
Gated only a short distance from the
first mentioned site, but there Is a
high ridge between which would
have to be tunneled to connect the
two.

PERTINENT ADVICE.
Today the socalled National

Today the socalled National Dry
Farming congress will convene in
Denver and there will be a great
many speeches delivered on the SUBJ
ject, and there will be a great deal
of enthusiasm displayed (by agents
and owners of dry land). Then
there will be long reports of the
speeches and sayings published in
the daily papers, and people unfa-
miliar with real conditions will read
these and be convinced that on the
dry plains of Colorado there is gold
mine lying undiscovered, or rather
unworked, on every quarter section
and the old experienced Colorado
farmers are too blind to see it.
To any one who has followed the
dry farming movement closely at all
it would not be hard to see that
there Is such gold mine on every
piece of dry land in eastern Colorado,
but that this gold mine has been
worked lean by the Union Pacific
when the land that cost that COM
paDy nothing was sold for 90 to sl2
An acre, according to location and
quality. We do not believe that the
fellow who buys the land with the
expectation Of making. his home upon
same and making a living out Of the
land will ever find it q gold mine,

WHEN HER RACK ACHES

Greeley Yomen know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life q burden
Backache, hip pains, headaches,
dizzy spells, distressing urinary
troubles, all tell OF sick kidneys and
warn you of the stealthy approach of
diabetes, dropsy and Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills permanently
cure all these disorders. Here S
proof of it in Greeley woman S
words:
Mrs. D. Ballard, living at 5l9
Seventh street, Greeley, Colo, says
Il had more or less trouble from
neuralgia and rheumatism for many
years. In addition to the persistent
aching in my back. especially over
tho right kidiey, there Was . sis-
tressing retention Of the kidney
secretions. Learning that Doan's
Kidney Pills had cured other people
here in Greeley sent to the q. Rey-
nolds Drug Co. g store for box.
After using this remedy for short
ftime the pains we're relieved, INV
back was strengthened, the secre-
tions we're more free and natural and
my health was better in every way.

construction Of reservoirs or by
pumping the underfiow Of water.
No person should 60 into the thing
blindly. If a man has some loose
money with which he wants TO
speculate, and he Is shrewd enough
to look to future developments that
may benefit his land, 1t is pretty
safe for him to invest a little; not
too much money in this way. But
never depend upon dry farming for
an income from the land.
For an Investment Of indefinite
time any land that lies lower than u
good reservoir site with a reasonable
amount OF watershed back OF 1t
makes pretty good bet, but without
such reservoir site, big or little, do
not bet. In most cases the odds
against you are too many. For
every one thatawins, perhaps ten will
lose, and that is too small percen-
tage of successes to the number Of
failures.
Buy any land you want and buy
any amount you want. but buy it
with view Of irrigating same some
day, before you can really hope to
make a home for yourself, or have
anything but some cheap land upon
which to pay taxes. Buy land al
ready under ditch, II it Is possible
for you. II not, then buy land
under one or some Of the many big
reservoir schemes talked of. If
these schemes have any merit at all
some day they will become realities
and then you will have something
worth holding onto. But, find out
also, If the scheme talked of has any
actual merit or value, or the talk is
simply to boost land in the vicinity
In order to run up the price.
II you are an outside investor, re-
member always, that the people of a
certain section know the value of
land Of all kinds there much better
than any of the prospectus writer's,
who write simply to sell the goods,
and If rare bargains can occasionally
be found these are pretty apt to be
taken up by men on the ground, al
most before they have been put on
the market.
We want every person from out Of
the state, or other section Of the
state Of Colorado, to investigate
thoroughly before he buys land in
Weld county. It is the best Agri-
cultural county in the state but
good land Is never gisen away here.
We want this, because one satisfied
new settler is better than ten dis
satisfied ones.

SINK HOLE FOR MONEY.

The county commissioners will
this year spend close to ESQ, 600 on
so-called road improvement in this
county, and one year from now 1t
will be hard to tell. from tine looks
Of the roads, that there has been one
single dollar spent. with the excep-
tion of some cement culverts or
sluiceways for irrigating bitches, and
a few small bridges over bitches and
small streams. 1t is not because we
believe that there is any misappro-
priation of the funds of the county
that we again call attention to this
matter, but in the hope that we may
eventually arouse public sentiment
and the board of commissioners to
adopt different method Of expend-
ing these vast sums. 1t is doubtful
II there will be one solitary mile of
road built that will at all be perma-
nent. 1t Ill all be spent on patch
ing the roads and maintaining
bridges.
Putting the figures high it could
not cost more than s5, 600 mile TO
make good turnpiked roads, that
with but little expense could be
maintained for years. Supposing
only half the amount appropriated
for roads was used in repair work
and the other half in permanent i'm
provements, fifteen OF more miles of
rs good road as can be found any
place in the country could be built.
Use the other half for bridges and
let the repair work on other roads go
to thunder for year. They will
come out just as good next spring as
though they hadn't been touched.
Make permanent road from Ault
to Greeley and as much farther south
- the money would hold out. Then
netx year commence running a road
or two east and west, crossing the
other improved road. In the couTs'
of four or five years the county would
have pretty good system of public
roads, that would eventually cover
the entire county. The repair bills
after that would be slight compared
with the present cost.
Bridges that are built should also
be made permanent, constructed out
of cement and steel. The present
method of patching up things will
be an everlasting sink hole for money
and can be continued until doomsdaJ
without ever giving US 4 good sys.
tenn Of roads.
There would probably be some
kicking done If certain pieces Of roae
were left to shift for themselves fol
= year or two, but that should moi
stop the commissioners from adopt
ing course that would be for tht
best interests of all in the long rum
