BEAVER LAND PROJECT
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The widespread attention which the
Beaver Park proposition is receiving
throughout the state is evidenced by
the following descriptive and COM
plimentary notice contained in a
recent issue of the Pueblo Chieftain.
The thriving city down the river can
be pardoned for its pride in being so
near to Beaver park. While Flor
ence is the center Of this promised
industrial boom. the entire river dis
trict will be benefited by proposition
the size of Beaver park. The Chief
tain says:
1.-THE immediate and tremendous
success of the Beaver Land and Irri-
CATION company near Florence, has
exceeded the rosiest anticipations Of
the promoters. This company owns
16, 900 acres of the finest fruit land in
the state, situated in Beaver park,
six miles northeaht of Florence, ten
miles east of Canon City and two
miles due north of Portland station,
and only twenty-eight miles from
Pueblo.
-Four thousand acres Of the 16. 900
were placed on the market December
10. 1907, plated out in ten acre
tracts, and already one-third of this
land has been sold. Several citizens
of Pueblo are among the purchasers
and a great many more Puebloans
will probably purchase when they
know and realize the magnitude of
this enterprise and the good opportu-
point.
Pueblo is bound to be greatly
benefited by the opening of this vast
tract of fruit land, which is only 2S
miles away. This city is now the
central station for the Arkansas val.
ley and this new territory is bound
to look'to Pueblo for its general sup
plies and market for its product.
1.-THE Beaver Land and Irrigation
company is backed by some of the
most widely known and influential
men in this state men who have car
ried many large undertaking such rs
this one to successful completion.
These gentlemen are Q. O. Hamlin
@. NJ. MacNeil Spencer Penrose II.
M. Blackmer. j. @. Macdonald. J. II.
Waters and X. G. Schuyler.
-Four thousand acres in this west
ern country does not seem like u
large amount of land but when it is
being sold in ten acre tracts it means
400 settlers and ten acre fruit farm
Is equal in profits to a l00-acre ordi-
nary farm.
''The irrigation system will be
absolutely the finest in the West,
where the main canal and the branch
laterals will be made Of cement,
thereby preventing the waste of any
water through seepage aud the water
will be placed, through this system
of laterals, right on the ten acre tracts
by March 10, which will be ample
time for spring irrigation.
1.-THE price of this land ranges
from $40 to $3.50 per acre. which
includes perpetual water right, and
the terms AS to payments are most
liberal, the purchaser only being
required to pay one.tenth down, and
is givcn nine years to meet the other
payments. This means, most any
one can secure ten acres OF this land,
which will, in very few years, make
them independent for life, to say
nothing Of the increase In value that
this land Is bound to sustain for tho
next several years.
1.-THE company will place 5000
acres more on the market next spring
at very material raise In price over
the land now being sold, and the
present purchasers will derive the
benefits, as their land will increase In
valuation accordingly.
'"Tbe general sales agency Is In
charge Of W. A. MatlocK, formerly
traffic manager Of the Cripple Greek
railroads. with headquarters at Canon
Oity."
