RUSH OF HOMESEEkERS IN FER
TILE VALLEYS NEAR THE
UTAH LINE.
D. and R. G. MAY BUILD
LARGE IRRIGATION ENTERPRISES
ON FOOT IN WESTERN MONT
ROSE COUNTY.

Denyer.-So great has been the in
vasion of homeseekers into Montrose
county during past months that the
people there are clamoring for greater
railroad facilities. From the town oi
Norwood, San Miguel county, on the
Rio Grande Southern, 10 the Utah
line, there Is Il great stretch OF fertile
territory. now being rapidly put under
irrigation, but having no railroad IA
cilities whatever. 1t is probable that
in due time the Denver g. Rio Grande
railroad will build an extension into
Montrose county.
There are innumerable big irriga'
tion and Improvement projects on foot
in the Naturita-Paradox valley. AT
present this land is reached by way of
Norwood, through the town of Placer
vile. In this extensive valley there
are 100000 acres of rich land, capable
of bearing any product when water is
applied.
The Naturita Canal and Water Com
pany is nos preparing to irrigate 1000
acres of land. A new company, the
Empire Irrigation Company, capital.
lied by residents of Des Moines, Iowa,
Is preparing to build n new reservoir
and enlarge other reservoirs and
bitches II has acquired, so that within
three years it will put 100000 acres OF
land under water.
Residents of Norwood and the town
of Nucla have put between 1900 and
1000 acres under cultivation and plans
are now under way that within two
or three years will place 10000 acres
under water. DIR. Cross OF Telluride
and Galloway brothers Of Norwood
are promoting a big project which Will
ultimately irrigate $4,000 acres. This
work will begin about June j.
The Dolores river does not run
lengthwise of the valley, but cuts II
into two sections, known as East Para
dox and West Paradox. In West Para.
dox the Paradox Valley Irrigation and
Land Company is about to irrigate
$4,000 acres. 1t is putting in n reser-
voir this season and will follow with
another next year. The water for this
project comes from the La Sale noun
tains In Utah. Very little of the water
In the valley is taken from the Dolores
river.
The Redlands company is still an
other outfit which is now getting ready
TO water $4,000 acres OF land. The
Lilly Lands Company will put 10000
acres under cultivation according 10
present plans. The Montrose Orchard
Company has put out 800 solid acres
Of land In fruit trees.

York, where he Joined the staff of the
American Museum of Natural History.
The express purpose in DIR. Anderson
aligning himself with the museum is
to take charge of an expedition to To-
cate an unknown tribe of Esquimaux
on small island in the Arctic ocean.
DIR. Anderson's associate in command
will be Dr. Stefansson also of the

company will be natives of the far
