Some Facts About Fort Lyon Canal.

to read OF some new irrigation pro-
ject. or some company improving
what they have by reservoirs. 4, will
naturally make one compare 1t with
their own irrigation system II
seems to be second nature for per
son under a good ditch TO want TO
tell about 1t, and no one farming
under the Fort Lyon canal need hest.

the greatest irrigation system In the
world. We have a comparatively
small amount OF work TO finish up

carry not less than 10000 feet per
second. This can be done cheaper
ty dredging than with teams. This
is practically all there is to do TO
finish up the entire system OF res
ervoirs and bitches. which will make
any one proud to say. Il live under
the Fort Lyon"
We do not know what crop fail
ure Is. W.e.i other bitches have
fallen short on account Of drOuth. the
old Fort Lyon is always there with
the goods, even though the reservoir
system is not as yet completed In its
entirety. AT present we have 10000
acre feet of water stored and ready
for spring use. This is almost double
the per acre reservoir capacity OF any
other ditch. making 81 inches for
every acre under the Fort Lyon. and
no reservoir is more than five miles
from the ditch. You can readily see
there is no loss in getting the water
to the ditch.
The capacity OF the reservoirs. In
acre feet. Is as follows: Horse
Greek. 2s.5o0: Thurston Lake. 5000:
Queen reservoir. 5.is3. All OF these
reservoirs are full. We have also
the Adobe Creek reservoir. which has
the immense capacity Of 6l.575 acre
feet-that is. filled to available water
supply. II our supply ditch had
been finished to the full width this
reservoir would also have been filled.
When all OF these reservoirs are full
II will make an available water sup
ply Of i0i 800 acre feet. or one and
two.fifthx acre feet for the 10000
acres farmed under the Fort Lyon
canal. The prospects are good for
filiinx the Adobe Creek reservoir
this fall and winter.
We have two decrecs from the riv.
er--onc Of iGi feet. dating 1854. and
one Of 597 feet dating In 1897. These
two decrecs are backed up by the
great storage system and the best
constructed. canal In the state. one
that cannot be- surpassed. want TO
mention here that the Horse Creek
and Adobe reservoirs have Immense
ditches out of Horse Creek and Adobe
Greek to catch flood water to en-
them. besides the ditch from the
river.
All that b necessary to make the
land under the Fort Lyon the garden

cut Il up into small tracts. There
should be at least 200 families he
