FARMERS
WILLING
TO ASSIST IN DEVELOPING Lo
CAL SUGAR BEET
INDUSTRY

From all over the country come
reports that the farmers are very anx-
ious to assist in every way possible
in the building at Durango of beet
sugar factory. There is no question
but that sufficient acreage can bl
secured. Then the whole matter Is
up to those who are willing to invest
their capital. That this is to become
one of the best parts of Colorado for
the production of sugar beets is quite
certain. Let the people get together
and work together for the construc-
tion of factory that will handle the
beet crop next year. 1t is not the
plan Of those interested to get ready
this year as it requires much time tc
build large factory and install tn,

on the methods to be pursued in ac'
complishing the end, but let us have
factory to handle the beet crop fol

WASN'T ACQUAINTED WITH

The tennis courts established by the
Civic club for the use of the younger
boys Of the town, have proved very
popular, as evidenced by their almost
constant use last fall. The recent fine
weather this spring has revived in
terest in the game. A short time ago
two lads called on the president of
the club, Mrs. Fred Egan, with a
request for another tennis court on
the north side.
Mrs. Egan told the boys that there
was already ore court on the north
side, and that before another could
be established the civic beauty ds-
partment would have to be consulted.
The boy who was the spokesman
twisted about first on one foot and
then on the other, and finally said
apologetically, in reply, "You see, |
haven't been here very long, and 80
] don't know these civic beauties!"
From the standpoint of an interest
ed observer 1t does not seem possible
that the ladies of the civic beauty
department could resist granting AZ

PERMANENT
H[ADGAT[S
BUILT ON THE FORT LEWIS
MESA IRRIGATION
DITCHES

Mr.. ]. W. Price Of the Fort Lew
is mesa was a pleasant caller at The
Herald office this morning. He has
been a resident of this section for
eleven years, coming here from Great
Bend, kas. The second house on the
east side of the La Plata river near
the Fort Lewis school was built by
him. He informs us that the IL. II.
Ditch company is building new head
gate for the ditch, the old one hav-
ing been washed away by the flood
last fall. The headgate will be elev-
en- feet wide and constructed Of con
crete and iron. The work will be
completed this week. He further in
forms us that the Big Stick Ditch
company is putting in it's headgate
which was also washed out last fall.
1t, too, will be made of concrete and
iron. 1t is noticeable fact that all
new work being done on bridges and
headgates is with the idea of dura-
bility. This work is cheaper in the
end.

VALUABLE

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS BUSY
ANSWERING HUNDREDS OF
INQUIRIES

Hundreds of inquiries have been
made at the U. S. land office here
concerning the Fort Lewis mesa lands
which viii be open for settlement un.
der the homestead laws tomorrow
morning at o'clock. There is no
doubt that large part of this land
will be in demand since valuable gov
ernment land Is getting scarce. This
large tract of $4,000 acres Is of the
best left in the hands Of the gov
ernment. Unless those asking fer a
temporary segregation make their fl
ing before the land office closes this
evening the land, under the law pro-
viding for temporary segregation, will
automatically revert To tho govern
ment for public entry, and we are in-
formed that in all probability many
homesteads will be taken and perhaps
some desert entries made. Judging
from the number of inquiries being
received each day at the land office,
the United States land office force
will be busy for while waiting On
applicants.

TWO IRRIGATION PROJECTS
START CONSTRUCTION WORK

On Tuesday OF this week the con
tractors who are to repair the Citi-
zens' ditch, Wood & Morgan, left Du-
range with seven four-horse and five
single team outfits for the heading
OF the ditch above Blanco. Work has
begun building the new ditch, which
Will be taken from the San Juan river
mile and half above the former
heading. There will be tunnel bor-
ed through a big rock bluff through
which the water will be carried and
kept away from the river, thus avoid
ing any repetition of the damage OF
last year.
AT the same time the contractors
who will build about thseo miles on
the lower end Of the Citizens, Noble
q Sluifvara, are at work, and will
push their part of the job without
l-i-up.
Wood q Morgan are said to be con-
fident that they can complete their
work inside forty or fifty days from
this date, and If they can do this it
will bring water in plenty of time
for irrigation, considering the moist
condition of the soil at this time.
Several thousand acres will undoubt-
edly be planted to crop under the Cit
liens this year, even with the late
water prospect.
w. Goff Black has received wire
from Denver to start the contractors
at work driving the tunnels on the
Inca canal between Rosing and Cedar
Hill. There are six of these tunnels,
with combined length of 2,446 feet.
J. G. DeCordoba, w. S. Baker and
Jack Bunce each have two tunnel
contracts. They are now making
camps ready to start work.
"All the steel and lumber for
fumes, overshoots and bridges on the
Inca from Cedar Hill to the San
Juan divide have been ordered" said
Mr.. Black. "The tunnel contracts Just
let will bring the ditch to Aztec with
no more tunnel work, and we are
pleased with the outlook"
In addition it is learned that Mr..
Black has had survey made as to
what pressure waterworks system
from the Inca would give the town
Of Aztec. It is found that with three
quarters of mile Of pile a fall Of
l25 to 1870 feet can be had os Main
street. 1t must be remembered that
the Inca takes its heading above all
the alkali seepage that enters the
Animas river, and would supply an
excellent quality of water for this city.
