Gentlemen: The reservoir now be-
ing completed at Granite, Colo. for
the Otero Irragation District. is for
the purpose Of ausmenting a water
right out of the Arkansas river. which
very dry years have proved neces.
sary. The reservoir will store 10000
acre feet, and can be filed sew
eral times q year, assuring water
whenever needed by the residents
of the district. Ordinarily the sprinl
rains are sufficient to start crops
growing without water from the river
or from the reservoir, and usually
there Is plenty Of water in the
Arkansas river for the Otero ditch,
until the middle of July. but even in
unusual years, the reservoir will pro-
vide water whenever 1t Is needed,
and l consider the water right that
goes with land in the Otero Irriga-
ton District as all right. Anyone

have had special opportunities to
observe the development OF the irri-
gated country In the northwestern
part OF this county near OrOWay, uh-
der the Bob Greek and Twin Lakes
systems. About the year 1897. be-
fore the Twin Lakes Reservoir was
completed, farmers under this sys-
TEN were very much discouraged. but
since the completion of the Twin
Lakes Reservoir in the mountains,
which supplies water to the Bob
Creek Canal. the lands under this
Irrigation system have very much In
creased in value In many cases as
much as 100 per cent and 200 per
cent. consider the Otero project
similar to that of the Bob Creek with
the Twin Lakes Reservoir rights.

But to get back to the excursion,
1t was at first rumored that a few
crusty bachelors were in favor of
making the trip stag affair but the
married men of the community soon
stopped any such nonsense. Their
wives need trip at this time OF the
year, and this outing will take them
through some of the most beautiful
scenery in Colorado.
The reservoir site itself is one OF
the most beautiful spots the mind can
picture-a lovely little vale nestled
down between towering submits near
the loftiest peaks In the state.
The Colorado Midland will put on
diner at Colorado Springs. and
serve delicious meals. which will be
an attractive change to those who do
not travel, and sleeping cars will al
so be coupled on at Colorado Springs
so that none of the merrymaking
party will need to be fatigued by the
trip.
The dam forms lake that will be
half mile wide by mile and
three quarters long, with an average
depth OF about twenty-five feet. This
will impound about 43O.O00.000 cutie
feet Of water to be turned into the
Otero Canal when needed.
Although some of those have al
ready bought tickets are known to
have made plans for. good time.
some of them will not loosen up on
the details. The trip promises to be
great success and instructive as
we'll.
The rate for the round trip Is 1885,
and tickets may be procured from
E.. w. Haskins. secretary OF the
Board of Trade. The special train
will leave La Junta Monday night.
October 18th, at o'clock. for Colo
rado Springs, from which point the
trip will be made over the Colorado
Midland to within a few feet Of the
reservoir site. A dining car and
sleeping cars will be attached to the
train at Colorado Springs. Berths
in the sleeping cars may be secured
for $1.0o each way. and meals on the
diner for IS cents each. Tickets
will be good for four days-good 60
ing on the excursion train only. but
ON the return trip on any regular
train, giving those who desire an op'
portunity to visit Leadville without
additional cost. The excursion train
will arrive At the reservoir site early
Tuesday morning, and 1t will be pos

you to make the trip in practically
