and associates, looking for new
prairies to conquer, after having vir-
tually transformed the whole South
Platte valley from a barren waste to
splendid farming country, came in
to the Poudre valley, backed by the
prestige of many successes and un-
limited capital at their disposal, and
took up the two propositions They
greatly enlarged on all original
plans and set to work with their
engineers to figure out the most
feasible method of bringing all plans
to a reality.
An enormous amount of work had
to be done in the way of checking
up engineer reports, making new
surveys, measuring available water
supply, exploring lands to be bene-
fitted and all of the legal work pre-
liminary to organizing an irrigation
district and the financing of the en-
terpriSe. Most of this work is now
finished and long before snow flies
construction work will be under way
on the greatest irrigation system
ever constructed in Colorado, the
home of great enterprises.

Action of Eaton Farmers.
SIX or seven years ago, the farm
ers under the Eaton ditch expert
enced somewhat of a crop failure
because of shortage of water, the
big ditch not being sufficiently
backed by storage water. This re-
suited in heroic action on their part.

country, in which was good body

site was filed on by the Eaton farm

would be wholly inadequate to build
the ditch and the big dam to increase
the storage capacity of the reser-
Volr, these intrepid people. never
'heless, went to work with Il vigor
that has ever characterized the irri-
sationists of northern Colorado. A
company was organized, known as
the Poudre Valley Reservoir COM
pany, and the construction of the
great Poudre Valley ditch was be-
gun. This ditch tapped the Cache
la Poudre river well up in the foot
nils, about two miles farther up the
canon than the next highest ditch,
the Larimcr County, and also ran
on ground something over 100 feet
higher than the other ditch. The
engineering feats of this work were
the marvel of the people of the state.
At one place it was necessary to
oNerturn a good sized mountain to
make course for the ditch This
was done by placing 500 kegs of
giant powder under the rock and lit
orally blowing this into the river
below. AT another place, for over
half mile, the ditch was carved
out of the side of "A solid rock hill.

at the topography of the country

a clearer idea of what it Will mean

Cresco People Can Tell You Why 1t

Doan's Kidney Pill cure the cause of
diseaes and that is why the cures are
always lasting. This remedy strength
ems and tones up the kidneys, helping
them to drive out of the body the liquid
poisons that cause backaches, headache
and distressing kidney aud urinary
complaints. Cresco people testify to
permanent cures.
Mrs. Furnia Moulton, living in Cres-
CO. Iowa, says, Exposure to inclem-
ent weather brought on a severe at
tack of kidney trouble in my husband s
case, and he complained Of his didneys
being weak and the secretions attended
with pain. His back was lame and
panied him SO intensely that he could
not sleep at night. In the morning he
would arise feeling so lame and stiff
that he found it difficult to fasten his
shoes. He finally heard of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured box from Mill
drug store. In few days he felt much
better and soon was as well as ever.
He publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills in 1902 and as he has had no
return of kidney trouble he is only too
glad to reiterate all he then sand. "

Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 19.-"The whole
people Of Japan unite in extending q
most warm and sincere welcome to
their guests on the American battle
ship feet now approaching the harbor
Of Yokohama. The visit of these good
ships and men to our empire is sin
cerely regarded as an additional token
of the unbroken friendship which has
existed between the two nations since
the coming to Japan of Commodore
Perry in 1852 Such round the world
cruise undertaken by the magnificent
navy Of our friendly neighbor breaks
the record in naval annals, and 1t will
be watched until its completion with
the most intense interest because of
its bearing upon the naval relations
and achievements In the future of all
naval powers.
II hope our friendship and CONNER
cial relations with the United States
will be more closely cemented by this
suspicious event"
The foregoing are the words of vel
come to the American battleship fleet
penned by Prince Ito, the foremost
man in Japan, Saturday, and above
all the statesman who represents the
entire Japanese people He wrote
them carefully with his own hand and
affixed his signature in the foreign

welcome the prince undoubtedly
voiced the popular sentiment of the
