LEARNED THE SENTIMENT OF
THE PEOPLE DURING HIS
VISIT HERE.
so SAYS Mr.. NEWELL
WORK OF CLIFFORD PINcHoT HAS
SAVED FORESTS TO THE
PEOPLE,.

Denver-Criticism OF the federal
government for its Institution of poll
cies which work toward the conserVa-
tion Of natural resources such as the
forest preserves and the irrigation pro-
jects Is quickly passing away In the
opinion OF Director OF the United States
Reclamation Service F. A. Newell, and
the fact was strongly emphasized dur
ing the recent trip OF Secretary Gar
field OF the Department OF the Interior.
Moreover the waning OF adverse COM
ment Is due to the recognition on tnS
part OF the people of the value which
the immense undertakings will bring
them.
This was excellently illustrated in
the journey of the government Off
cials for the reason that not single
new complaint was heard and that un-
usually few of the old objections were
offered. Mr.. Newell who arrived IN
Denver Thursday night from Garden
City, kas., where he left Mr.. Garfield,
particularly observed during during the
inspection trip the attitude OF farmers
and cattle raisers toward the forest
preserves. He found that now n Is
broadly recognized that the govern
In its action, but the present genera
tion as well. that the poor have an
equal right to use of the forests guaran-
teed them, and that the element OF
chance In the grazing Of sheep and cat
tie has been removed by the national
restrictions to limited territory.
Regarding the greater irrigation pro-
5ects, such as the one at Montrose. Mr..
Newell was conservative In his express
sions AZ II is in those that he is most
directly connected. The Gunnison tun-
mel, he estimates, will be OF incalcula-
liable value to the region In which II 8
situated and will undoubtedly greatly
increase the value OF the land. SO far
he believes that the progress OF the
work there has been satisfactory under
uniquely difficult conditions. Almost
every degree OF hardness In the rock
has been encountered while the tunnel
begins at both ends In singularly hard
situations and must be bored at the ex-
treme base OF the mountain.
Last Friday he and Secretary Gar
field had gone to visit II. but the flood
of water which had unexpectedly filled
the tunnel prevented any entrance to
the interior. The damage done then was
only tmporary and Mr.. Newell thinks
tect may be entirely completed within
n year. although unlocked for exigen-
cies may arise.
As yet nothing concerning the reser-
voir plans In the San Luis valley have
been finally determined. but the Secre-
tary OF the Interior has inspected the
grounds. and n decision may be
reached. Part of the time was spent
by the party at the Indian reservation
and Mesa Verde. where the cliff dwell
ings were visited. These proved OF ex-
.ceptional interest. although the mem
bers enjoyed the unusual experience OF
sliding down the rocks hundreds OF feet
in the midst of heavy rainstorm.
ITO my mind" Mr.. Newell said. In
his room at the Adams. Clifford Pin
chot has accomplished one Of the great
est works of any living man. In a
few years he has saved the forests
from perpetual ownership by the veal
thy and the large corporations"

Riverside Reservoir Completed.

Greeley. Co!o.-Monday the River
side Canal Company filed maps of its
big irrigation enterprise, claiming the
appropriation of water and showing
that the Riverside reservoir and canal,
which has involved the expenditure of
81. 100000. is at last entirely com
pleted. The reservoir is In Morgan
county and cost over $750,000. and
has a capacity of 3.000,000,000 feet OF
water and is five miles wide. 1t has
been in progress of construction for
over three years, and last week its

the ditch was 5000 900, but $4,000 acres
are provided with irrigation by the
