METHODIST.

The revival, which was an- nounced some time ago to begin Sunday, was postponed, The pastor, after consultation with the official board and others, decided it would be best to wait until the new church is completed, inasmuch as no day services could be held on account of work in progress on the new building so close to the tent.

THE CHURCHES BEGIN.

There is general rejoicing Tn many of the hearts of Brinkley people over the good news that our churches are beginning to rebuild.
 The first church corner stone to be laid was that of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church South on Monday afternoon last. It is :. fitting mark of the progress of the Methodist people that they should have been the first to lay a corner stone. They were the first to occupy this field some 40 years ago. Their circuit riders were familiar characters in the pioneer days of Brinkley terri tory. They built the first church in Brinkley and therein minister, Rev. Thos. H. Howard, who is still an honored citizen of Brink ley. preached the first sermon ever heard in this place way back in the early seventies.
 The Methodist are a broad and liberal people and their activity is to be admired. The Brinkley congregation is composed of some of our very best citizens, men and women who are true to their church and to all for which 1t stands. The writer rejoices with the good people of the Methodist congregation that they are so sCon to lave a church home and that it is to be sol much prettier and better in every way than the old one des- troyed by the cyclone on March 9th.

SOME NOTABLE COLORADO IR-
RIGATIOh PROJECTS

Denver, Dec. 24.-Some idea may be
had of the magnitude Of irrigation
projects constructed or under con
strUction in Colorado, when it is
shown that D. A. Camfeld is president
and manager OF companies which are
spending close TO s2O,OOO,OOO in the
building OF reservoirs and bitches for
the reclamation of arid or semi-arid
lands in the state.
Following are companies of which
Mr. Camfield is manager, although it
IS said that they are being financed by
the Moffat-Evans interests.
The Empire Construction company.
known as the Antero reservoir, near
Denver. The reservoir has a capacity
of 3,400.90O,O00 cubic feet and under
the High Line ditch will irrigate about
$4,000 acres of land. This project is
completed and cost close to s2,50O,0O0.
The Garden Park reservoir, under
construction near Canon City, will
cost about 100000 and will irrigate
$4,000 acres.
The Moniezuma valley bitches and
reservoirs. under construction near
Cortez Colo, will irrigate about 50,-
900 acres, and will cost about $1,000
O0o.
The cost of the North Sterling Irri-
cation district, which will put $4,000
acres under water near Sterling. Colo.
will be about $4,000 10000 when COM
pleted.
About s2.5OO,OOO is the estimated
cost of the project in the Riverside
Irrigation district When completed
Sc. 900 acres will be watered along
the north side of the South Platte
river. extending along the line of the
Union Pacific railroad from Masters
to Merino, Colo.
The biggest enterprise in which Mr..
Camfield Is interested is the Laramie
Poudre Reservoir and Irrigation COM
pany. When completed reservoirs and
bitches will irrigate 125. 900 acres in
Weld county north and east of Gree-
ley. II is estimated that this will cost
about s4,500.00o.
Construction OF reservoirs and
bitches to irrigate 100000 acres be-
aween Denver and Hudson is well un-
der way. II is what Is known as the
Henrylyn district and will cost about
