Land Under Uncompahgre
Project Rates Less Per
Acre Than in Grand Vale,

There are few if any irrigation
projects, public or private, which
wiz in any way compare with the
Uncompahgre valley project in point
of cheapness per acre. This is the
conclusion of a gentleman who has
made a careful investigation of the
W.compahgre valley project as con-
pared with the cost of other pro-
jects. both public and private.
Up to January l, 1911, there will
have been expended on the Uncom-
pahgre project $4.50O,00e. There
are 10000 acres of land under the
project. of which 144,0O0 are irri-
gable and obligated to the tunnel
project. This means that up to the
first of next month the project win
have cost at the rate of . fraction
over sal per acre. This includes
not only the TUNNEL. but the South
Camel. the purchase OF the Mons5
rose and Delta canal and the ex-
pense of enlarging the same the
Loutzenheizer canal and the other
bitches already purchased by the
government, together with the large
amount of other ditch work which
has been done by the project
With the completion of the west
canal and the east canal, and the
purchase of the several other can
ais. this price will OF course. be in
creased several dollars per acre,
making it about s45 per acre.
This would mean that the yearly
payments would be at the rate of
$3.50 per acre, without interest.
Through the Investigations of the
aforesaid gentleman 1t was found
that there was not single irrigation
project in the Grand valley. public
or private, which cost less than Sc
per acre during the past year. and
some went as high as s14 per acre,
and the people over there are max
Ing 1t pay at those prices
There are five camps now at work
at various points on the project.

All day to-day the committee was in

finally adjowning only when midnight
was approaching. The entire committee
was present. together with several alter
mates, and the decision OF the new rules
began only after various reports from
the various colleges that have held real
football practice since the meeting of the
committee last month, had been received.
The committeeman to-day were not as
accessible as they were at the New York

for luncheon or dinner. However. Il may
be said that the two great questions that
were being debated were the forward

should be taken to bring about more open
play without destroying present princi-
pies OF the game. Long before the COM
mittee adjourned tonight, the report was
spread that the forward pass surely
would be. retained. and that a vote 10
