l.. d. Mccall, of Chicago, who has been working on the Colorado
4 Wyoming Power and Irrigation project in the north edge of North
Park, Colo, a up Monday with a large party of capitalists TO look
the ground over aud view the proposed dam site and the land that
would be covered by the water. They were in a special Pullman ar
Florence" and would leave the train at Encampment. where thew
we're met by practically every automobile in Saratoga and taken O m
10 he North Park country.
The party was composed of the following named gentlemen and
Vs escorted while in Wyoming by Col. l.. G. Hinke, of CHEYENNE.
brmer Deputy Secretary of the state: Albert Schell, J G. Hobart. E.
II. Hargrave, Frank Schafer, n. f. Schelr b. E. Langdon. Aleernop

stock, State Engineer of Colorado, NJ. C. Hinderlider, of the firm of
Fields, Fellows e. Hiiderider, engineers of Denver, and Wallace A
Stephens, also of Denver.
Word was received OF the coming of this party sever al DAYS ago
and arrangements made to use every automobile in the city. On
Monday morning word came that the party would be Ion the south
bound 5. d E. train, and for the cars to meet it at Encampment. Four
ears, Kuykendall's, Dave Richmonds Tichenors and PiIou's all went
up from here Monday and in company with the Rankin car az En-.
ampment we're sufficient for the transportation of the party.
After looking over the proposed dam site and all of the country
THAT would be covered by the impounded waters of the
North Platte river, the party returned to this place yesterday
evening, quite tired from their prolonged jaunt, yet very much i'm
pressed with what they had seen. Men of the character of those
|wo composed this party are not given to boasting. or to showing
much enthusiasm They are men who are looking for a place to in
vest their money that promises good returns. Capital never grows
athusiastic.~ 1t is rather inclined to pick out ali the flaws and
weak points aed enlarge on them. 1t does this for the reason that
it is determined not to be deceived. These men all seemed impress
@d with the great possibilities of the project, but they were al.
SO Impressed with the fact that it would require much money and
several years of hard work and careful management to bring it toa
successful issue From all We could gather in talking with them they
each and every one admitted that the enterprise WI a very promising
one and all agreed, with one accord, that they had never seen a project
THAT promised greater possibilities than this. Also that they had not
seen any part Of the West which they believed held such a great f-
|ne for investment and settlement a the Saratoga Valley.
The party remained over in Saratoga today and will leave in the
morning to view the land between this place and the U. P. road and
between here and Elk Mountain. They will then go over to the Sem
|nole country to look at a proposition in the country.
