SOME GOOD NEWS
Land and Irrigation Deal That
Means Much

A real estate and water deal that
will mean much to the country lying
south Of Kersey was made in Denver
last week whereby the Platte Valley
Land company transfers the English
ditch and about 5000 acres of land
to new company, composed of Den
yer and Boulder men for $3.50. 1000
The new company proposes to at
once extend the English ditch from
its present terminal at the head Of
B1ehS Draw about twenty miles
fArosf "a. bluffs, coming within .
short Mslance OF Kersey and then
running southwark into the Box
Elder Valley. This will not alone
furnish water to the company's land
but to thousands of acres in that
region.
The English ditch has since its
construction had water appropria-
tions for far more land than lie
under the ditch, as at present COM
pleted. The water supply, however,
has been scant but when the water
did run there was plenty for every
body and to spare.
To remedy tine defect of scarcity of
water in the ditch the supply will be
supplemented by the completion of
the Platteville lake reservoir which
will be enlarged by the owners,
Mcssrs. W. B. Starr, N. D. Bartholo-
new, E. G. Kindred and James d.
Houseman, to a capacity of 500, ,OOO,-
600 cubic feet of water. This will
give the English ditch water rights
in ditch and reservoir almost as good
as many of the Oldest and best
bitches In northern Colorado.
The new company intends cutting
up its acquired land in eighty and
forty acre tracts. The land Is ex-
cellent quality for beet raising and
much OF 1t is also adapted to potato
culture.
The ditch will be extended and
the Platteville reservoir enlarged
this summer.

amined and admired each guest was
allowed to draw from an immense
May basket on the table daintily
wrapped package which contained a
gift that would have been suitable
for her were she a bride. This
afforded much amusement as the
packages contained soap, sapolio, egg
beaters, etc.

freshments. Burnt leather favors
containing samples of the wedding
gown we're given each guest.

Fine Bookkeeping.

For the last sixteen years the Chi
cago postoff1ce has had a surplus OF
one cent on its books. No one has
been able to find the source of the
surplus or to whom the money was
due until recently, when W. L.
Clucas, a special agent OF the North
American Life Assurance company,
notified the postoffice authorities
that he had draft for one cent on
the office. 1t was issued on January
S, 1891, to his father, w. j. Clucas
of Lebanon, Ill.
w. ]. Clucas was postmaster OF
Lebanon. ILL.,, in the administrator
of Grover Cleveland. At the END OIL
Cleveland's term of office Mr.. Clucas
sent In his statement. 1t then ap-
peared that he had sent In one cent
too much. 1t was returned to MIN
in the form of a draft. Mr.. Clucas
wishing to keep the draft as re-
membrance never cashed it. After
his death in 1899 the draft was
turned over to his son who kept 1T as
q relic.
After the settlement Of the estate
Mr.. Clucas found 1t never could be
cashed as his father had not Endorsed
II in his name. For this reason the
nostotf,ce auditor nevsr will be able
Tn balance his books unless MT.

WORK ITSELF
WATER TO MAKE OWN IRRI-
CATION DITCH
B. D. Sanborn Harnesses Water
to Build Outlet From Boyd
Lake Reservoir Near
Loveland

A new and successful experiment
has been tried by b. d. Sanborn In
the construction of the outlet ditch
to the big Boyd lake near Loveland.
To large extent he will make the
water dig Its own ditch, and save
about sl2O, 900 ON the job.
While the big steam ditcher used
by the Jacobson Babe company In
making the trench for the new city
water works pipe was standing idle
for want of lumber for pipe Mr.. San.
born had 1t hauled to Boyd lake tc
do some ditching. 1t was put to
work to run two trenches about six
teen feet apart, from where the out
let will cross the Greeley s. Loveland
ditch. Then headgates were put in
the ditch mentioned and water
turned into the two trenches dug at
right angles with the ditch. 1t
was but a short time before the
water commenced to wash away the
core of dirt between the two trenches
and will in short time make COM
plete canal about twenty feet wide.
The outlet ditch from Boyd lake
is about two miles long from the
lake to the Thompson creek. In
stead of letting the water run right
on down the creek 1t will be carried
around by way of the Greeley &
Loveland ditch, dropped into the
smail outlet for the Boyd lake and
made to scoop out - big-s canal q
may be needed to carry whatever
amount of water 1t is desired to run
from the lake.
Part of the outlet ditch has al
ready been complated in this way.
the water being run through the
Farmers ditch, some distance below
the Greeley s. Loveland.
When the ditch has been washed
out to the south the same process
will be carried out to the north to-
ward the center of the lake. The
Greeley s. Loveland ditch lies several
feet higher than Boyd lake, right on
the divide between the Thompson
and Poudre valleys, so that 1t can be
used for flushing in both directions.
Finally when all the dirt that 1t
is practicable to move in this way
has been flushed out tunnel will be
made under the Greeley & Loveland
ditch, and the outlet to Boyd lake is
complete and one of the largest as it
is, no doubt. the most solid reser-
voir In northern Colorado is COM
pleted. There will be no dams to
break and water once impounded in
the basin Is thera to stay until tie
headgates OF the outlet ditch are
opened.
