Denver.-After a strenuous battle
waged necessarily day and night for
S week between those who formerly
held control of the stock and affairs
of the Denver Reservoir Irrigation
Company. as represented principally
by Milton Smith. on the one hand. and
representatives of the French-Ameri-
can bank Of Paris. the Trowbridge-
Niver bond house Of Chicago and the
ick-Quigley-Russell Construction
Company Of Kansas City. on the other,
the affairs of the irrigation company,
whose properties lie at Denver's door,
are in such shape that the Paris bank
has consented to purchase $2.000,000
OF its bonds and to see the project
completed. Measureless persuasion
by the brightest legal and financial
minds of the country was necessary
to bring about this end, which means
the placing of thousands of farmers
on fertile lands in the immediate vi
cinity of Denver and the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars for labor
and supplies in this city. The COM
pany is now, for the first time in its
history, despite a receivership which
now obtains and which will doubtless
be terminated soon, in position to
carry it's enormous project to compile
tion. The company's engineers have
made careful estimates which indicate
that 100000 will see all features OF
the project through.
