right of way the Denver Hepub-
lican of yesterday morning
makes the following statements:
Director F. n. Newell of the Ma
tional Reclamation service yesterday
signified his intention to recommend
to the secretary of the interior the
contract prepared between the gov
ernment and the Denver q Rio
Grande Railroad company granting
canal ow Observation-Disclosures
canal of the Grand valley project
through the Grand canon below Pali-
sade.
This assurance practically removes
the last obstacle to the completion
of government project which will
ultimately reclaim $4,000 acres of
the most promising land in the Unit
ed States. Land identified like it at
Palisade. in the same neighborhood.
has sold recently for $4,000 per acre
and land along the proposed route of
the canal. heretofore absolutely
worthless, has recently advanced to
$125 per acre on the mere prospect
of the early completion of the gov
ernment ditch.
The completion of the canal. which
will cost s2,500.000, according to
government estimates, is made pos
sible through the waving by the
Denver & Rio Grande company of
the indemnity clause of the contract.
The canon of the Grand is very mar
row for, most of the distance along
the route of the proposed canal, and
nearly all the available space is oc-
cupied by the railroad right of way.
For part of the distance the ditch
Will run between the railroad and
the river, and in others between the
railroad and the mountain. The av-
erage width of the available space
between the hills and the river is
scarcely more than 100 feet, and the
railroad company felt that it was
running grave risk of damage If the
construction of the canal should
prove faulty. or if 1t should be care
lessly managed after construction.
But rather than see the project
held up, the Rio Grande people con-
sented to the waving of the indemn-
ity clause which had been originally
part of the contract taken to Wash
ington. and Director Newell lost nc
time in sanctioning the bargain
/ Upon his recommendation depends
almost entirely the appending of the
signature of Secretary James A. Gar
1 field of the interior, who has long
been friendly to the project. II has
been the desire of the Grand valley
water users and of the Denver & Rio
! Grande alike for long time to see
! the plans for the project perfected
| during the present administration
and this now seems to have been ac-
complished. at the eleventh hour. by
the action of the railroad company III

ANOTHER WISE HEAD

A wisehead down east has made an in.
teresting calculation of the profitable limit
of population in the United States. He
has taken into consideration the matter
of the food supply, which must be infu-
ential in determining the ultimate pop.
ulation. and keeping this consideration
always in mind he has perhaps been too
conservative in his estimates. East of
the great plains, in the we'll watered
section of the country, he thinks the pop
ulation will become in course of time as
dense as in France and Austria Hungary.
This will give the east 2OS, ,0OO, 900 people.
When the arid lands of the west are all
,eclaimed. the western section, according
to the professor, will have loo, ,O00, 600
people. This will make 30S, ,0OO, 900 for
the whole country. The present popula.
ton of the world is 1000, 100000 OF
course, it is probable that only a very
small proportion of America will ever
become as densely peopled as is England.
The eastern two-6fths of the United
States would contain 7+2, 900, 900, but it
is very likely that many millions more
than this country itself Is able to feed
will insist upon living here and that a
great part Of Americas food supply will
come from parts Of the earth where peo-
pie are not SO anxious to make their
homes from Africa, Mesopotamia,
Northern Asia, South America. The
lOO, ,OOO. 600 allowed to the west is too low.
The Rocky Mountain region alone will
support that number and the highest type
of modern civilization will some day be
planted here.
