GKEELEY-POUDR BUYS CON
TROL OF POUDRE VALLEY
WILL use DITCH AS INLET
BONDS VIII BE Voted at Once ana
Construction Will BE Started
Immediatcly-Ccrt that
Big Power Company
viii BE Formed

The greatest step toward the real
ization of the great Greeley-Poudre
irrigation system was consummated
Thursday. when, after one whole
week of negotiations. d. A. Camfield
secured control OF the Poudre Valley
Ditch and Reservoir company.
1t was absolutely necessary for the
proposed district to secure the Pou-
Dire Valley ditch as an inlet to their
numerous chain OF reservoirs both
constructed and contemplated.
The Poudre Valley company has
never been success financially and
for many years had almost bankrupt
ed a number of Greeley men. Had
it not been for the indomitable
courage and perseverance of Sam
Southard, F. c. Cradle, Dave Sever
ance, B. ID. Sanborn, the Wyatts and
others the ditch would never have
been completed and its heaviest back
ers bankrupt. When started the es
timated cost was placed at S25o,oO0 |
and before completed it cost $780, |
600.
1t is understood that the deal was
consummated in Denver Thursday |
whereby 62l per cent of the stock
was acquired by Mr.. Camfeld, which
will later be turned over to the Gree
ley-Poudre district, when it will be
enlarged and used as the main inlet
ditch from the Poudre river TO the
chain of mammoth reservoirs.
With the purchase of this stock
Mr. Camtield secures control of
Douglass lake and Cobb lake. the
two largest of the companys reser-
voirs, besides several smaller ones.
The exact amount paid for the ma
jority stock will not be given out
but it is understood to be in the
neighborhood of s175,000, which
would be about so cents on the dol
lar with reference to the actual cost l
of construction. When ii is sold over '
to the new irrigation district the L
stockholders will of course
share the profits with those in con-
troll, The big tunnel will turn the l
waters of the Laramie into the Pou- c
Dire, the Poudre Valley ditch, which
leaves the Poudre river far up in
the foothills. will carry the water
to the reservoirs, from which new
bitches will be constructed to the :
Crow Creek district
The preliminary arrangements and
starting of construction on the new
system has been delayed pending the
negotiations for the Poudre Valley
ditch. Now that everything is COM
Plete the bonds will be voted at once
and active construction begun.
Mr.. Beeler, the Evans representa-
tive of the Denver Tramway COM
pany, came to Greeley yesterday and
1s now on trip over the Greeley
Poudre system. That water power
will be developed at the proposed
Stove Prairie and Roosevelt reser-
voirs is now conceded to be true and
it may not be many months until
the Northern Power company will
have a powerful opponent in this
part of the state.
Forty-six per cent of the stock ac-
quired by the Camfeld interests yes
ferday in the Poudre Valley Ditch
q Reservoir company was purchased |
from the North Poudre company. |
Mr.. Camfield already owned 10 per |
cent of the stock and the balance !
was purchased from small holders. |
