HERE LOOKING AFTER BIG
IRRIGATION PROPOSITION

c. c. Hamlin OF Colorado Springs
and General Manager Jesse H. Waters
OF the Florence & Cripple Creek Rail-
road company were here this morning
on business connected with the big
reclamation project by which 10000
acres of semi-arid land northeast of
this city will be brought under cultiva-
ton. AS a result of the enterprise Of
Messrs. Hamlin, Waters, and associ-
ates. the area of tillable land in Fre-
mont county will be more than dou-
bled and an impetus will be given to
agriculture and its kindred callings
that will addimmensely to the general
prosperity.
The proposition may be said to have
passed beyond the preliminary stage
and Is in a fair way for realization. It
has been financed and the engineers
are now in the field making surveys
preparatory to beginning actual con-
struction work. 1t is one Of the most
important private reclamation pro-
jects ever undertaken in Colorado and
its execution will call for an outlay
of from 81 500, 900 to $2.O00,O0O.

CONCERTS AT
THE CHAUTAUQUA

AS a rule many musicians feel the
lack of good music in various parts of
our country unless they are able to
visit the musical centers. The chau-
tauqua committee is trying to meet
this need by having several ultra-clas-
steal concerts during the chautauqua.
These will be given mostly in the
morning. The committee has planned
to have the popular and humorous con-
certs in the afternoon and evening
session so that those who do not care
for classical music may also be enter
tanned with their favorite variety. The
Hungarian Orchestra will play the
overture from william Tell" as we'll
as a number of fantasies and other
classical pieces. 1t is hoped that the
artists recital may be provided some
time during the assembly. The Eu-
phonium Glee club will provide some
special sacred music, as they are said
to excel in this department The chau-
tauqua committee would not have any
one understand that there is not to be
plenty of music, including some hu-
morous sketches.
In chautauqua as large as ours we
have so many varieties of attractions
that one ones peculiar taste should be
slighted.

AN INVESTMENT OF A CENTS
BROUGHT ONE MAN A FORTUNE

None Of the five organizers OF the
Wireless Telegraph company OF Amer.
ca was rich. and 30 they set about TO
find a man with capital. Firth found
the man. This was Abraham White,
a young man who had come to New
York from Texas a few years before
and had risen to fame over night by
cleaning up 100000 on an investment
Of A cents. From the day he first set
foot In New York Whites one ambition
was to make fortune. He had the
money-making instinct. n his first
years in New York he speculated In
real estate.
When the Cleveland popular bond
issue was made in 1896 to replenish
the treasury gold reserve. White. who
had lost in the panic years OF 1893 and
1894 most of the money he had made
in real estate, conceived the bold
scheme OF bidding for big block of
bonds on the chance that they would
sell at premium as soon as the
awards were made. The governments
call for bids did not ask for any money
with the bids. White made several
bids, amounting in all to $1,000, 900,
and sent them on to Washington by
registered mail. His total outlay was
A cents. When the allotments were
made 81 ,25O.OO0 bonds were set down
to Abraham White, New York. The
bonds we're Immediately quoted at
premium in open market, and young
White scurried around to find the
money to pay the government for his
bonds. He went to Russell Sage. who
/ o1w raudv N hia
into a sure thing, and had no trouble
in getting the money lender to finance
his bid. Sage paid the government for
the bonds, resold them in the market
and turned over to White 100000
profit. Ever since then White has
thought in millions.

KILLED BLACK BEAR
IN LONG GULCH

City Attorney A. L. Taylor. in COM
pany with w. H. Pigg, spent a couple
Of days hunting bear in the foothills
of the Sangre de Christie range last
week and the former succeeded In
shooting a fine specimen In Long
Gulch. ten or twelve miles north of
Cotopaxi. Thursday morning. They
left the Stirrup ranch on Wednesday
and went over to the Devils Hole
country. where they camped for the
night. The next morning they crossed
Waugh mountain and about II o'clock
succeeded in locating a 2-year-oId
black bear which the dogs were not
long In putting up a tree.
The country in the vicinity OF Long
Gulch is extremely rough and almost
inaccessible, except to pedestrians.
Bear are known to be abundant In that
district and half a score OF them have
been killed there during the last few
years. Mr.. Taylor sent the skin to
Gus Stainsky, the celebrated taxider-
mist at Colorado Springs. who will
mount 1t as a trophy of the hunt.
While Mr.. Taylor's bear was not as
large as "Old Nose" he has a right to
feel proud Of his achievement In kill
ing 1t, as bear are not as abundant as
they once we're and It Is not every
hunter that gets one. A.furious snow
storm was prevailing at the time Mr..
Taylor shot the bear.

BIG IRRIGATION
ENTERPRISE ASSURED

While the Daily Record is not in a
position to divulge any confidential in
formation in relation to the proposed
irrigation enterprise Of Jesse Waters,
c. c. Hamlin, Spencer Penrose. and
their associates, by which fifteen or
twenty thousand acres of semi-arid
mesa land northeast of this city is to
be brought under cultivation, 1t Is un-
der no obligation to conceal the fact
that the proposition has been fully A.
nanced and that work on one of the
biggest reclamation projects in the
state will begin very shortly. The
chief engineer arrived here from Call
fornia a few days ago and is looking
for a house In which his family may
make their home until the enterprise
Is inaugurated. To carry out the
proposition will cost anywhere from
$1,5OO,000 to 100000. All Of the
necessary money is in sight to exc
cute this great undertaking which will
double the area Of agricultural land
in Fremont county and add 100 per
cent to the assessed value Of its farm
property.

man, one OF Colorado's wealthiest and
most prominent men, died at his home

His death resulted from complication
OF maladies caused b va severe case OF
la grippe which he contracted last
December.
Mr.. Cheesman came to Colorado
among the first settlers here and has
made 1t his home ever since. BY sheer
frugality he had gathered together a
fortune which perhaps is not sur
passed by any man In the state. At
the time of his death he was president

Tents.

1t is sometimes difficult in the first
season of a chautauqua to induce peo-
pie to camp on the grounds. Once ac-
customed to it, it becomes regular
and very pleasant feature OF these
gatherings.
Lincoln, Neb, at their tenth annual
session, had about 1000 people camp
ing on the grounds throughout. Many
people simply rent a tent to have as
sort of a headquarters during the
season, where they may take lunch, or
nap between programs, and have
pleasant tete-a-tete with friends.
There will probably be several head
quarter tents on the grounds. Often
times churches, lodges, and other as
sociations rent tents for the use of
their members. With the hope that
many chautauqua people would camp,
the chautauqua management has ar
ranged to rent tents at cost, so that
they may be secured at a very reas-
enable price.

EVERYBODY SHOULD VISIT
THE NEW CITY PARK

1t Is doubtful II half the people OF
the community know where the City
Park is located, or have any idea OF
what a beautiful place 1t has been
made during the last year or 30
through the efforts OF the Civic I'M
provement League, assisted by Warden
Cleghorn OF the penitentiary.
The old jungle and dumping ground
which existed SO many years along the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad tracks
between First and Third streets. has
been cleaned up and transformed into
one of the most attractive pleasure
grounds imaginable. Ramshackle and
unnecessary fences have been re-
moved, rubbish carted away. several
disreputable old shacks torn down.
and an air of brightness and prosperity
given to the surroundings that was
impossible under the former con-
ditions.
fine lawn has been started, grav-
eled walks put in, flower beds estab-
lished. and shrubbery and shade trees
planted, which are destined to make 1t
one of the most popular resorts In
town; a place, indeed, of which the
reason to be proud. Through the mu-
nificence of the members OF Canon
City chapter, No. 21, Order of the East
ern Star, a handsome banG stand has
been erected and plans are being for
mulated for the construction or
beautiful stone bridge, to cost several
hundred dollars, over the Mill ditch,
which runs along the northern edge
of the park. This bridge Is to be the
contribution Of the Friends In Council
to the movement for "a city beautiful'
and will be a monument to their pub
lie splritedness which other organiza-
tions might we'll afford to emulate.
With the generous gift from Gen.
Palmer of Colorado Springs few
weeks ago nearly $40O worth OF shrub
berry has been planted in the City Park
this spring, all OF which is doing nice

EVERYTHING POINTS TO
SUCCESSFUL CHAUTAUQUA

Preparations for the Royal Gorge
Chautauqua, which is to be held in
Canon City. July 18th to 2sth, go mer-
rily on. There was meeting of the
to consider some of the details OF the
coming assembly. Alderman c. A.
Linkins was appointed to attend to
the matter of the grounds, fencing,
sidewalks and water. Messrs. M. J.
Evans and A. R. Mitchell were named
as a committee to look after the mat
ter of concessions. 1t is expected that
there will be good many tents on
the chautauqua grounds for the sale
of refreshments of one kind and an
other.
The committee decided to make a
presentation of the matter to the busi-
ness men of the community on next
Tuesday. individuals will be asked to
subscribe for season tickets which will
be delivered to them about the 18th
Of June. The Business Mems Associa-
ton has, through its committee. agreed
to sell 500 season tickets and the COM
mittee hopes to place these 500 tick
cts next Tuesday when a visitation of
the business houses will be made. The
members of this committee have no
personal interest in this matter but
are giving of their time and counsel
to the enterprise without compensation
because they realize that the coming
Of chautauqua to Canon City means
much to the advancement of the busi-
ness interests of the community, as
we'll as the educational interests. 1t
is not necessary to raise a bonus to
bring the chautauqua to Canon City,
but the cooperation of the community
is necessary to the success of the en-
terprise.

been issued giving a list of the con-
cert companies, speakers, etc, and
