wULFsoHN's POWER PLANT

When Julius Wulfsohn purchased the
Fred Atkinson ranch near Glenwoo
some months ago great many people
thought he had an elephant on hls
hands as it was known that but small
portion of the more than 800 acres was
watered at that time and that the acre
age supposed to be watered was but
poorly supplied owing to the small siLe
Of the ditch and the poor grade there
of.
But WuIfsohu was not to be dismay
ed and before making the big purchase
he had figured out a plan by which he
intended to improve the ranch so that
those heretofore familiar with it would
not recognize it and one of his dreams
was along the line of increased irriga
tion facilities. To this end he has this
winter built a ditch from the Roaring
Fork, taking the headgate Just oppo
site the Glenwood Flour mill and from
this ditch he secures a head of 81 feet
and from this will be operated Leffcl
Sampson turbine wheel which will gen
crate 225 horse power and by this he
will operate u Byron Jackson two stage
centrifugal pump with which he can
lift l5O0gallons of water to a height
of 225 feet, thus irrigating all of the
good land in thc ranch that is now un-
watered.
Besides this Mr. Wulfsohn viii install
a 10 horse power dynamo which will
automatically supply current sufficient
to furnish IS incandescent lights of l6
candle power and he has arranged his
works 50 that ne can easily install
other and larger dynamos in case of
demand for the same and furnish both
lights and power in any quantity de
sired
Mr. Wulfsoh expects to receive in
a few days the turbine wheel and ear
load of pipe and other supplies and
hopes to have the plant in operation
in Il very short time.
II. b. Walz who owns a ranch almost
adjoining that of Mr.. Wulfsohn has al.
so adoptcd the plan of raising water by
means of turbine wheel and pump and
he already has his wheel in place and
expects to set the pumps in very few
days. He will use one of Leffel 's
Sampson wheels and n pump patented
and manufactured by H. D. Penny of
this city. Mr. Wall has % acres of
good land above his present ditch which
he viii irrigate by this lifting plant
and he also expects to install a small
dynamo and furnish lights for all his
ranch buildings, present and prospee
tive.

GARFIELD INVESTMENTS q. X


Because George Young recently sold
the beautiful Mesalta ranch near Car
hondale, same people may think he was
dissatisfied with the country or with
his investment, but such is not the
case.
Mr.. Young purchased the ranch in
1898 for $4,000 which included all
work stock and machinery and so head
of cattle and hay grain and potatoes
worth about $4,000. He sold to Mrs
Mary Francis .Innc 10. 1909, for
$4,000 cash but without any cattle
and he declares that Mrs. Francis got
a better bargain than he did in his
purchase eleven years ago. The income
from the ranch last year was over
$4,000, the net proceeds being perhaps
$4,000 which is splendid interest on
the amount which Mrs. Francis has in
vested.

Armour Packing company can be heard
for miles and it is used for curfew and
other purposes. Why not follow the
example of that city and arrange sy

whistle. 1t had everybody ont looking
the other evening and if it were gen.
orally known that it is to be used as
fire signal, the people would not have
to run a half dozen blocks to find out
where the fire WAS. Do not lose any

For the first time since the compile
tiOn of the big tunnel leading to the
power plant of the Central Colorado
Power company at Shoshone, the full
capacity of water was carried last Sun
day. And there We're five hundred of
the sons and daughters of the western
slope there to witness the supreme test
of the greatest electric plant in the
state and one that has but few equals
in the entire world.
From Grand Junction, Aspen, Lead
vile, Glenwood and other points tho
people had journeyed to Shoshone on
special trains sent over the lines of the
Rio Grande. There, the ladies were met
with conveyances and they were soon
hurrying down the beautiful Grand
canon for the power house two and
one half miles from the station. Three
hundred men piled out of the cars and
after rolling up the legs of their trou
sers started the marathon along the
road leading to the big tub of lemonade
at the power house. Bankers, merch-
qnts, farmers. all were in the happy
crowd. From the west the dark clouds
rolled through the sky until the sun
was hidden from sight. Flashes of
lightning and rrashin gthunder, which
sent the echoes through the canon, were
