BIG IRRIGATION
DEAL SETTLED
TO CONNECT LARAMIE RIVER
WYOMING, WITH PoUDRE Rlv-
Err, COLORADO.
At COST OF $4,000, 900
VAST ACREAGE IN NORTHERN
COLORADO WILL BE BROUGHT
UNDER CULTIVATION.

Greeley, Colo-It is stated authorita-
lively that the Empire Construction
Company has taken over the options.
buildings, rights of way, etc, OF the
Laramie Poudre Ditch Reservoir
Company and will carry out in every
detail the project of the company to
bring water from the Laramie river in
Wyoming into the Poudre river in Colo
rado, bringing under cultivation a vast
acreage in northern Colorado, at a cost
of $3,000,000.
The Empire Construction Company
is composed of d. A Camfield and
James f. McCreery of Greeley and S.
H. Shields of Fort Morgan. and Cam
field, who has built many large reser-
voirs in the West, will act as contrac-
tor for his company. The enterprise
was promoted by Fort Collins men, i'll
cludes three-mile tunnel through the
mountain range, takes in numerous
lakes in Wyoming and on the Upper
Poudre, among them Poor and Link
Lakes, with bitches and reservoirs now
built anil It's miles of ditch to run
across northern Colorado in the vicin-
ity of Num- and Dover.
BY proposed arrangement with the
Poudre Valley Ditch & Reservoir Com
pany the new company will incorporate
for it's use the reservoirs ami bitches
of the former company, including COBB
lake, Eastman lake, natural reservoir
lying far to the east in this state, is to
be made one of the biggest reservoirs
of the extreme eastern end of the ditch.
Possibly much of the surveying done
by the first company will be discarded
and a survey farther to the north in
Colorado made in order that additional
territory may be covered.
1t is also understood that large res
ervoir proposition known as the Glen
Davis, in southern Wyoming, is to be
included in the Empire construction
company's plans. A number Of miles of
the ditch lying east and west of Num-
has already been constructed and this
will be extended eastward TO Crow
creek 1t is said that $155 900 has been
paid to a bonding company by the EN-
pire Construction Company to relieve
the Laramie-Po company of all in
debtedness.
Just how the Empire company will
handle the enterprise is not known, but
those in close touch do not deny that a
large irrigation district will be formed
and bonds issued and sold. Mr.. Cam
field has had the matter under consider
alton for months and is satisfied that
the undertaking is easily possible.

State universities, at the request of
their professors, are to benefit by the
Carnegie pension fund. Ten million
dollars were originally given as an
endowment for pensions for profes-
sors In unsectarian colleges. Colleges
supported by churches and by the
states were omitted, on the ground
that II pensions were to be provided,
they might well come from those who
maintain the institutions. Many col
ieges. nominally UNCONVENTIONAL, have
given evidence that they are unsec-
tartan, and have been admitted to the
benefits OF the fund, and the National
Association of State Universities Pc
titioned for the enjoyment of the pen
sion provisions 1t set forth four
reasons, the chief OF which were that
IN the absence of pension allowances
the state universities would find it
colleges for first-class professors. and
that the prospect of pensions paid by
the states was remote, as it would
involve the acceptance of the policy of
pensioning state officers. Mr.. Car
negie has admitted the force of their
argument by adding $5,OO0,O00 to the
original fund, so that the state insti-
tutions may benefit. But professors in
such universities will not be pen
stoned unless the state legislature and
the governor join in the application
that they be admitted to the founda-
ton.

Coming Interstate Fair.

Denver.-More than $150,0O0 Is be-
ing expended on grounds and build
ings and more than $4,000 in cash
prizes are offered for the first an
nual Colorado Interstate fair and ex-
position to be held at Overland park,
Denver, the week of September 7-12,
of this year. An army of wOrkmen
is now engaged on the construction of
the various buildings, principal among
which are those for the agricultural
and horticultural exhibits, each 130x
$50 feet in size; cattle and horses,
each 7Sx285 feet in size and one for
poultry, 1OOx125 feet. Aside from
these are buildings erected by indie
pendent exhibitors and for machinery
and other exhibits. &. C. Fuller, act
ing secretary, says that the number
of exhibits will be remarkably large
and that the fair will, even in its first
year. equal many of the great state
fairs in the East. Specially reduced
railroad rates have been secured to
Denver for the fair from all parts of
the West, with particularly low rates
from Colorado and bordering states
and territories. This insures a very
large attendance. Aside from the fair
and exposition there will be special
amusements. including a great divide,
midway feature similar to the Pike
at St Louis Exposition; Knabershue's
famous airship, Hamilton's aeroplane,
the latest air craft, captive balloons
and the like and at night Pains gor-
geous production of the Carnival of
Naples and the eruption of Vesuvius,
considered the greatest pyrotechnical
show ever given, more than $4,000
worth of fireworks being required for
each presentation.

Gun That Makes No Noise.

There is surely a terrible RESPONSE
'pility resting to-day upon the shoul-
ders of Hiram Percy Maxim. the son
of the inventor of the machine gun.
So writes P. Harvey Middleton in the
Technical World Magazine. For he
has patented gun which will kill a
man with no more noise than the
missing of a snake. Armed with this
silent weapon a murderer could shoot
down his victim without attracting the
least attention, and only on examina-
ton would the cause of death be re-
vealed. On the other hand single
policeman using the noiseless gun
could disable every member of a
gang of burglars before they recov-
cred from their surprise. 1t is an In
vention which may lead to the re-
equipment of the armed forces of the
world. and the revolutionizing of mod
ern methods of warfare-will per-
haps even hasten the happy day when
there will be no war, for the very best
safeguard against war is the invention
Of weapons of such terrible power
that armies will never dare to stand
against each other. War" said Bis
marck. SIS the greatest enemy OF
war, and will eventually put war out
OF existence" In the next great war
skirmishers may use noiseless rifles,
enabling them to creep along an en-
emy's front and shoot down unsus-
pecting pickets one after another, and
not until their dead bodies were dis
covered would the alarm be given.
The extended front Of a whole army
concealed in the underbrush or behind
rocks, could work terrible havoc
among the opposing forces before its
position could be located To the big
game hunter the silent firearm will
open up new horizons.
