bigger now than it has in the past to
those who nave been investigating it
the closest. The proposition is. 30
large one that it takes study to
realize all that it means, and it is the
opinion Of those who have been watch
/ ing the projectors Of this enterprise
closely that the Arkansas Valley lrri-
CATION Construction company is 60
ing to do all aud more than has been
talked Of in the past. It seems- def
Ditely certain that the company can
command all Of the money that would
be necessary to put the water down
the ditch and even buy all Of the land
that 1t traverses, including all reser-
voirs, extensions and additional terri
tory that has ever been contemplated d
in connection with the project.
The Philadelphia capitalists who
are associated with the company were
here the first OF the week, and they
were delighted with the PROJECT The
big supply Of water aud the splendid
land along the canal was revelation
to them, even though they had ex-
pected to find favorable outlook.
They made an examination of the
water supply at the head of the canal,
ard OF tue demonstration now being
Z nade Of "raising" the water, and was
: shown over u part Of the "ditcb In
the party were s. Gralfelder, E. Wolf,
N. Kahn, s. Randolph and E. Wave
land Of Philadelphia and A. M. Epp
stein, J, 7. Barnett, Sam F. Dutton
OF Denver and John A. Traylor, who
has been in charge Of the company's
affairs here.
II is the belief here that the com
parry will arrange to rush the work
on the canal 30 as to let the water
down as far as Dodge City in the
canal as practical demonstration.
The ditch in the main is well pre-
served but there are few places
where some rather expensive repairs
will be necessary, one Of them being
a few miles west Of the college where
considerable cement work will be re-
quired. With the exceptions OF these
patches, the main ditch will require
little work, until the work of widening
it is begun. Some day We will prob
ably see sixty feet wide stream Of
water running on the ridge north I
town, carrying water to the firms
along the way and filing reservoirs
below which will extend the work
farther down, and we hope to see a
smaller stream there within few
months at he farthest.
The writer is told that one OF the
chief draw backs just now TO rushing
the whole project is the securing of
enough men and teams. All that
have been secured SO far are needed
at the head of the canal on the sump
work. 1t is easier to get them now
than it was while back, but still
more are needed than have been
secured.
