Weld and Phillip. irrigation project.

Weld and Phillips Irrigation Projects.
When the earlier settlers diverted
the waters OF the Platte and tributary
streams upon their lands, naturally
enough they did not engage in any
very intricate surveying. letting the
water follow the well known law of
gravitation and running their laterals
in the most convenient course. It has
been said that one of the earlier
bitches in this county was surveyed
by an engineer whose only instrument
was a plumb-bob. But that was long
ago, and there are men here yet who
never dreamed of the extent to which
irrigation would be carried, though
even in those days the value of water
on the land was seen. Just now there
are two irrigation projects on foot
which will redeem much land that has
heretofore been considered too re.
mote from the source of supply to
ever have water brought TO il. One
of these is that which will irrigate
some twenty thousand acres of land
in Phillips county, and another in
northeastern Weld county in section
which has never as yet been irrigated.
The reservoir. which will ne built to
conserve the flood waters of Coal
creek. is about three miles from the
little town of Hereford. There are
twelve thousand acres in the district.
