COMPANY.
have let CONTRACT
TEN MILLION DOLLARS IN BONDS
SOLD FOR ARKANSAS VAL
LEY PROJECT.

Canon City. The Canon City
Incorporated for the purpose of sup
plying water for the reclamation oi
all untitled lands OF this portion ol
the Arkansas valley. will begin con
struction March LIST of one of the big
gest and most expensive irrigation
systems in the country. Bonds for
SO .000. 900 have been sold to Eastern
investors, and the money necessary
to carry out the project is ready.
Although the proposition has been
urder consideration several years by
some of the men foremost in the com
pany. the preliminary work was ac'
complished so quietly as to excite lit
tie curiosity or comment. II has been
known for months that there were
several surveying camps in the hills
between this city and the western
boundary of Fremont county. but their
purpose was unknoSn, although II
was surmised that an irrigation
scheme was projected.
II is the intention of the company
to reclaim by irrigation 100000 acres
OF .emi-arid land OF the Arkansas val
ley in Fremont and Pueblo counties,
by means OF the unappropriated flood
waters of the Arkansas and tributary
su cams.
The company will build n great d.
version canal from n point near Texas
creek. co miles west of here. down the
canon OF the river to Parkdale. at the
western entrance to the Royal Gorge.
whence II will be carried across Web
ster park to Grape creek. where the
first OF series OF immense impound'
in, reservoirs will be located.
A high line canal will be construct
ell on each side OF the river and the
water carried down to Pueblo. which
will enable all low lying lands to be
brought under irrigation.
To Dali Deweese OF this city, presi
dent OF the company. more than to
any other man, should be given the
CT edit for this great enterprise. His
desire for many years has been to re
claim the naturally fertile lands OF
the upper Arkansas valley and his en-
thusiasm upon the subject has enlist
ed millions OF capital to help achieve
his ambition. Associated with Mr
Deweese were Sam Brown. Jr. & Son
OF Chicago. whose assistance was In
valuable in achieving the gratifying
results obtained.
The contract for construction has
been let to Philadelphia firm OF en-
gineers and contractors. which now
has offices here.

According to an announcement given
out about this time last year there
were at the beginning OF September
of 1908. upon various sidetracks. 170.-
652 idle cars. This was a great de-
crease from the number that were out
of commission at the beginning OF last
year. A recently published authorita-
tive statement declares that only 6S.-
602 cars are now idle. II is surprising
that even this number are out OF use.
considering the fact that practically
all OF the big railway systems. and
many OF the smaller ones. have been
placing big rolling stock equipment
orders during the past few months.
The unmistakable inference to be
drawn is that the railroads are al-
ready in pressing need OF more freight
cars OF all descriptions.
