To the many who are inquiring
ebout the Cedar Canal and Reservoir
enterprise near Cedar in San Miguel
county. Colorado, 1 will say that
have finished the survey Of two res
ervoirs this summer, one of which will
contain ten thousand, seven hundred
acres of water one foot deep with a
dam requiring fifty-six cubic yards OF
dirt to the acre foot of water. The
other one will store about ten thous-
and acre feet with less quantity of
dirt in the dam. There is plenty of
dirt available for building the dams at
small cost and the reservoirs are
ideal for holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley of thirty
thousand acres or more, by means of
about eight miles of ditch to the up
per part of the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs To-
Gated which can, and will be utilized
If needed. The water supply is more
than ample to fill these artificial
lakes each year. besides irrigating
the land during the early part of the
