New Reservoir.

Fred Hotchklss the surveyor has
been surveying a new reservoir site
situated about one half mile below the
Clarence Beals reservoir. This reser-
voir site will cover about 45 acres and
when completed will irrigate in the
neighborhood of 1000 acres. The
water to fill the reservoir will be taken
out of Cow Creek in high water time
Those interested in the proposed reser-
voir are Fred Hotchkiss, G, P. Wallace
D. W. Mcintyre, Arthur Perry and G.
l. Wallace. The company has not yet
elected its officers, but we understand
will soon have stock on the market for
sale. The dam will be so feet high and
about acre wide.
This reservoir will be a great help to
the country, as there is enough water
going to waste in the spring of each
year to irrigate 10 times the land we
have. We are glad to see these pro-
jects being pushed, which will give the
farmers all the late water they need

Another Resort.

Colorado is to have another famous
summer resort. After years of close
ownership of Hartsel Hot Springs, on
the Midland in South Park by Samuel
Partsel, he has at last consented to sell
the springs, which he has just done to
an Improvement company for the sum
of $40, 900 Mr.. Hartsel has steadfast-
ly refused to sell the Hot Springs prop
erty because of the fear that it would
grow into resort where liquors might
be sold, as he is a very rabid prohibl-
ZIONIST. The past season, however, he
has disposed of his 10000 acres of
ranch lands nearby and later concluded
to sell the springs also. Hartsel Springs
have long been famous for their cures
OF rheumntism and other diseases. The
writer has been there often, as it was
one of his favorite hunting and fishing
localities for many years, and he has
seen people afflicted with rheumatism
so severely that they had to be fed and
to be hauled to the springs on beds
who, in few weeks-would be up and
oeechoiiiS " fnODR
hundreds of infiammatory rheumatism
patients, we do not recall single in
stance of failure to cure. The company
buying Hartsel Springs, we understand
will make extensive improvements,
building big hotel and swimming pool
and erecting many cottages. The water
of the springs possesses a natural heat
up TO lSO degrees There is also cave
and mud bath opportunities. Above
the town a few miles one of the largest
natural lakes in Colorado is being
reservoired. This body of water when
properly damed-which work is now
begun-~ill be about three miles long
and more than mile wide. Hartsel
Hot Springs and Hartsel railroad sta
ton on the Midland railway, occupy
almost the geographical center of Park
county. The principal town of that
county and watering place with all
the fine improvements of Glenwood
Springs would have existed there years
ago. had the Midland company been
able to secure these springs when those
at Glerwood were available.

Oftentimes teachers have occasion to
feel that the bread which they cast
upon the waters comes back in new and
unexpected forms. 1t was in history
class that the following extraordinary
bit of reasoning was developed:
Teacher-"What can you tell about
the religion of the colonists who settled
in Virginia."
Boy-"They didn't pay much atten.
tion to religion. They had slaves to do
their hard work"
