On the morning OF September 2S. at
II o'clock, President William II. Taft
will press q button which will lift a
headgste at the point where the Gun
nison river flows past the mouth OF
the Gunnison tunnel in southwestern
Colorado. A torrent Of water
will sweep into the six III i e
tunnel. flow smooth ly down
the cementlined pathway and emerge
into bitches, which will carry it into
the Uncompahgre valley. The great
est irrigation enterprise ever completed
by this or any other nation will be
formally opened.
In summing up the facts thus briefly,
one gains no IDA of the magnitude of
the enterprise or the vast good
which it will accomplish. The govern
ment, through the Gunnison tunnel,
guarantees to supply a permanent and
adequate water right for $50, 900 acres
of land OF this 10000 acres now has
q partial supply Of water and is under
cultivation. The remaining 10000
acres is now raw. arid land, but
a year from today it will be as
green and fertile as any land 10
the valley. Ten Thousand families
can find homes on this land and earn
good incomes.
A peculiar feature of the enterprise
is that the cost to the government will
be practically nothing. The cost OF
building the tunnel will be between
q, 900, 600 and s6, ,OOO, 900 but this money
is only loaned to the western farmers,
who have agreed to pay it back in ten
years according to the acreage that
they hold under the tunnel bitches
Uncle Sam has spent millions upon
public improvements, widening wat.
er-ways, building levees and the like,
all doubtless worthy objects, but this
is the first time in history that the
people benefited have paid the govern.
ment back the money invested. Ia
this case the only contribution made
by the government is the interest on
the money loaned, and this will be
more than repaid by the increase in
output of the country.
The westerners might have induced
congress to give them the money, bu,
they realized that it would take cam
paign Of education lasting twenty five
years to teach the eastern men the

value OF reclamation and they wanted
to start work at once. Hence the plan

The completion of the Gunnison
tunnel is the realization of the dream
OF western ranchman, TO whom, more
than any one man, must be given
credit for the idea. Meade Hammond
was ms name he died about two years
ago-and he was tall, lsnky, raw
boned man, with a voice that would
put fog-horn to shame. He became a
member of the Colorado legislature,
and there he exp0unded his plan.
"rhe Uncompahgre valley is the
most fertile spot in Colorado" he told
his fellow members. ''but what we need
is water. A few miles away the Gun
nlson river is flowing away to waste in
IA rocky canyon, SO high that the water
can never be taken out at the top for
irrigation purposes. want to dig
tunnel right through the range, tap the
stream and put the water on the val
ley"
Mr.. Hammond was SO irsistent, he
talked so loud and so often, that the
Legislature appropriated $25, 600 for the
purpose OF making an investigation To
determine II his scheme was feasible.
The state Of Colorado even went so far
as to start building the tunnel, but
quickly gave it up when it came to
realization of what the work lwould
