reservoir In the foothills of the Culebra
range. just east of the town Of San Acacio
This Is the largest of nine reservoirs being
built by the Costilla Estates Development
company with which Mr.. Shedd's company
Is associated. This reservoir, which is
now practically complete and is rapidly fill
ing with water, is five miles in length and
two and one-half miles wide and has a
water depth of ITO feet in the deepest
point. BY system of intercepting canals
the entire run-off OF the Culebra range
for 100 miles is emptied into this reservoir
TO be diverted upon the 10000 acres of the
Costilla estate lying in the valley below.
This mammoth reservoir, which is seven
teen and one-half miles around it's shore
line at high water mark and will store
4,6OO,0OOO0O cubic feet of water, is one OF
the very largest reservoirs in the United
States. The dam which holds the water
in place is lao feet long on top 600 feet
thick at the base and 100 feet high.
Through the center of the dam a concrete
cutoff wall has been constructed and on
the reservoir side a steel and concrete
tower 100 feet high. This tower has eight
sets of valves operated by levers from the
top and opening into the inside of the
canal, so that uniform pressure may be
obtained from any stage OF water in the
reservoir. The water passes into this
tower and out through an arohed outlet
tunnel built through the dam 600 feet long.
Owing to the completion of this reser-
voir and the rapid settlement of these
Costilla irrigated lands by Mr.. Shedd
company, there is great activity on the
Costlla estate A large number of farm
ers from Iowa and Nebraska and the irri-
gated sections of Colorado have been NOV
Ing upon these lands and placing them
under cultivation during the last year and
all of them have been uniformly successful
with their first years crops, enjoying inn
mense yields of alfalfa, small grain, field
peas and potatoes. Comfortable farm
homes have been erected and there is not
claim shack on the entire estate, while
many of the bungalow homes in the thriv-
ing towns OF San Acacio and Mesita are
equal to any found in Omaha and Denver.

than ever before on account of many new
orchards just coming into bearing. Peaches
will be in abundance and of the very high
est quality. The Hotchkiss vicinity will
furnish at least 500 cars of apples and
peaches. The cantaloupe industry is a
new one and is growing rapidly.
Delta county has taken first and second
premiums for cantaloupes at the state fair
for the last six years. Sugar beets will
make heavy Yield. There is in the neigh
borhood of 500 acres of potatoes grown in
the vicinity Of Hotchkiss, and which will
yield an average of 200 bushels to the
acre. Alfalfa is also a very important
crop.
'Hotchkiss has the promise of a new
railroad which will traverse the southeast
ern part of the county and will furnish
hundreds of rich acres with good trans
portation. and will mean much for the
town OF Hotchkiss. A new gypsum plant
is to be erected at Hotchkiss, having a
daily capacity of 400 barrels. The open
ing of the new Burdict coal mine three
miles north Of Hotchkiss also means new
business for the town.
THE Delta County Business Mems as
ISOLATION have challenged any county in
the United States to equal its shipments
of deciduous fruits, and as an evidence
Of its good intents and purposes it has
placed in the Delta National bank of
Delta, Colo. the sum Of 500, as a forfeit
to be paid to the county meeting the con-
ditons of sa j challenge.
THE climate of Delta county is ideal for
fruit growing. The average altitude is
$500 feet The high mountains which al
most entirely surround the valley and
mesas of the Gunnison and North Fork
rivers, regulate the climate. They OBJ

heavy, and owing to the scarcity OF hay In
the prairie country is already command

THE FIELDER CASE.

The failure of the grand jury
of Newberry to bring in a true
bill in the case Of the State,
against Thomas B. Fielder: charg
ed with attempting to bribe II.
H. Evans, at the time a member
of the State dispensary board.
was a surprise throughout the
State. The fact of the charge
being made by citizens of New
berry before Newberry grand
jury, led all to believe there
would be no difficulty to secure
a true bill, so that all of the evi.
dence which the prosecution
might have had would be brought
out at the trial before petit jury,
but, when the charge to the
grand jury by Judge Gage is
read it is seen how that body
went farther with their investi-
cation than IS the province of a
grand jury: it really tried the
case which it had no right to do,
and in making their return leaves
the charge open against Fielder
to be brought into the court
again, whereas had that body
brought in true bill the charge
could have been sifted by a petit
jury. and a verdict of not guilty
would have settled it for all time.
1t often is the case, the State
only discloses a part of its evil
dence to the grand jury, just
enough to show there is a prob
able case of guilt, the State is
not required to make out its full
case until it goes before d petit
jury, and then it must show guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt, but
in this case under Judge Cages
charge, the grand jury usurpt
the jurisdiction Of the petit jury
and founded it's return upon the
theory that there was not enough
evidence beyond a reasonable
doubt to convict. Judge Cages
charge may have been within his
rights: we are not prepared to
dispute it, out it is not usual for
a Judge to charge a grand jury
that they must base their return
upon the ':reasonable doubt
theory; if grand jury is empow-
cred to try a case then there IS
no need for d petit jury, and as
we understand this case, acting
upon the instruction Of the trial
Judge the grand jury attempted,
and practically did try the case.

tunate because, in all probabilit
