Weeks News from All Over Colorado

bids fair to become a reality as soon
as men and money can complete it.
This is the damming of the South
Platte river at the Narrows, in Nor
gan county, and the storing water to
lrrigate one million acres, the work to
cost s25,O0OOOO.
incidentally, the creation of the res,
ervoir will entail the flooding of many
valuable farms and of the site of The
flourishing town of Weldona, while
the Union Pacific railway will be com
PEELED to take up thirty miles of track
and lay it on a new roadbed.
With all surveys completed and ap-
proved. not one land owner in the pro-
posed irrigation district. 1t is said, OBJ
jected to it's formation and with a COM
pany ready to invest $25,OOO,OOO in the
enterprise, articles of Incorporation of
the Narrows reservoir will be filed
soon.
Among those pushing the most stu
pendous irrigation project ever con-
templated for Colorado, by which
water is to be put on 100000 acres
within three years in Weld, Morgan
and Phillips counties, are G. T. Neill,
J. T. Warren. E. H. McClenahan, S. H.
Southard, C. E. Southard, u. B. and
Jesse Wyatt of Greeley. James Hurley,
P. w. Putnam and Thomas Grace of
Fort Morgan and capitalists Of Den
yer and Omaha.
One dam across the Platte river at
the point known as the Narrows will
be 112 feet high and 1000 feet long
and built of solid concrete. AS the
bed Of the river at this point is solid
rock, there will be no danger of wash.
The site for the dam is bought and
paid for and conservative irrigationists
say enough water goes to waste an
nually in the Platte at this point to
fill the enormous reservoir planned
each year.
The sixty-five miles of ditch, to be
sixty feet wide and fifteen feet deep,
with a carrying capacity Of 5000 feet
a second, will be lined with cement
it's entire distance, as 1t passes through
sandy country, which otherwise
would absorb the ditch water.
The enterprise will necessitate re-
building thirty miles of Union Pacific
tracks. The company must buy valu-
able farms in the vicinity Of Orchard
and Weldona and part of Weldona,
which will become part Of the bed OF
the big reservoir. 1t is said water
can be put on the land for $25 an
acre.

If the prosperity of the nation can
be reflected in its savings banks de-

in the Treasury Department. Deposits
in the 1859 savings banks during the
year increased to more than four bill

account was s445.22, just $24.77 above
the average of the year before.

AVIATOR FLIES
OVER BIG BAY
AERIAL NAVIGATION is A FACTOR
WHICH MUST BE DEALT
WITH
PROPELLER IS BROKEN
EUGENE 3. ELY, IN CURTlSS Bl.
PLANE, MAKES SUCCESS
Full FLIGHT

Ft. Monroe. Va.-Aaerial navigation
proved Monday that it is factor
which must be dealt with in the naval
tactics of the future, if the successful
flight made by Eugene B. Ely in a
Curtiss biplane from the deck of the
cruiser Birmingham can be taken as a
criterion. From Hampton Roads, the
scene forty-five years ago of another
epoch in the history of naval warfare.
when an ironclad proved its superior
ity over the former type of fighting
vessel, the aviator flew across the
lower end of Chesapeake bay, landing
on the shore opposite from this fort.
The aviator, shortly after 3 o'clock.
glided from the platform erected on
the front of the cruiser, swooped
down until he touched the water, then
rose rapidly and was off in the direc-
ton of the Atlantic. Four minutes
later he was lost on the eastern hori-
Kon, and an instant later had landed
safely on Willoughby spit.
The impact with which the machine
struck the water after it's thirty-seven
foot drop from the cruiser scared one
of the propeller blades, and a small
piece was split from the blade, but
the speed of the aeroplane was not
lessened and it darted away with ex-
press train rapidity on it's flight.
Intermittent rain throughout the
day, several small hail showers and a
continuous fog almost compelled the
aviator to postpone his attempt. But
he was determined to prove as he said
after the flight, that he could accom-
plish more than had been expected.
Ely said 1t would be an easy matter
for an aeroplane to alight on ves-
sci either while the latter was moving
or standing still. Naval experts who
witnessed the flight expressed their be-
lief that the navies Of the future must
take the aeroplane into consideration.
