Colorado leading Industry.

Pueblo Chieftain.
The State Fair of 1909 ought to con-
vince Pueblo people. If they are not
already convinced of it, that colorado's
greatest industry is the cultivation OF
Irrigated lands.
Colorado will always be great min
ing State. and The Chieftain firmly be-
ieyes that the period of Its greatest
mineral production lies far In the
future. Colorado's mines are not ex-
hausted, and the limits of productive
ness and of variety cannot yet be
drawn But mining Is not. and 1t never
will be again, Colorado's principal In
dustry.
Manufacturing is important to the
State. The richness of COlorado's coal
deposits and the tremendous power of
its waterfalls, together with the
wealth and variety of its raw mater
falls make IL certain that Colorado 10
going to be one of the worlds great
est centers OF manufacturing.
But manufacturing is not Colorado's
greatest industry. and II is not the in
dustry that Is the most important fac
tor in Pueblo's growth, even though
this city's future as great manu-
featuring center Is plainly marked
The development of Colorado agri
culture-the Phenomenal success re-
sulting from the intensive cultivation
of small farms under irrigation is the
most important incident or Colorado'S
progress. It is the surest evidence Of
this city's growth and prosperity. !
