Resides is One of the Most
Fertile to Be Found.

Former Circuit Clerk Enoch C..
Tetrick of this city but now OF
Delta, Colo, arrived in the city Fri
day night to remain month or six
weeks to look after interests he has
in the county. Mr. TetriCk went 10
Delta last November and engaged in
ranching. He has n ranch of forty
acres over half of which is in alfalfa
and grain and he will sow the main
portion in wheat this fall. 1t is TO
be an alfalfa ranch when completed.
Mr.. Tetrick is located in the val
ley of Uncompaughre river, which
will be irrigated from the water of
the Gunnison tunnel project and
the water was first turned into the
tunnel July / this year. The tunnel
will supply water enough for 1907
900 acres. The valley is surrounded
by different spurs OF the Rocky
mountains ranging from 5000
to $4,000 feet. The mountains on
the south side of the valley, $4,000
feet high, are still covered with
snow and viii remain covered until
some time in September. the melting
OF which forms part OF the supply
for irrigating the valley in addition
to the Gunnison tunnel. The entire
valley Of the Umpaughre and the
Gunnison rivers is very productive,
suitable TO raising all kinds of small
grain, (but not good for corn owing
to cool nights). fruits of all kinds
that can be raised in the cooler eli
mates, vegetables and hay.

PLAN TO ENLARGE

Estimated Cost of Land Necessary
for Improvements Is
100000.

Plans for the enlargement OF Rock

joining its northeastern and western
boundaries. the establishment Of play
grounds and the development OF the

the location Of its boundaries The lin
its should be adjusted so as to guarantee
a certain SeCiUSion which IS indisPens-

Reason for Selection.
"Rock Creek Park. like all large city
parks, was selected, among other rea-
soEs- because near the city limits. where
IL could become accessible 10 the people
II rarely happens that land for such
purposes can be selected for natural
beauty alone since formal planting and

resorted to In the case Of Rock Greek

-The water course treatment IS simple
asszthe park Is fortunate in having a
stream OF water running a course Of
five miles over a bed that IN part is
