CONSOLIDATED DITCHES ASSO.
CITATION ELECTS OFFICERS AT
ANNUAL MEETING IN FORT
LUPTON ON WEDNESDAY

Fort Lupton, Feb. 15.-With a big
attendance OF stockholders OF TWEEN
ty-six bitches present the Consoli-
dated bitches association held its
annual meeting here yesterday and
late yesterday afternoon elected the
following board of directors: Fritz
Wattenburg, Fort Lupton; j. w
Birkle. Platteville; A. ID. Wall, Den
yer; C. l.. Vollmar, Platteville; j..
j. James, Greeley; w. G. Lovelace
Brighton; C. B. Norris. LaSalle;
Arthur Ponsford, Denver Fritz
Wattenburg was elected president;
J. W. Birkle, vice president; A. D..
Wall, secretary; C. l.. Vollmar,
treasurer.
This association was organized to
protect the rights of bitches in water
district No. 9 and has already prov
en- of good service in doing this The
association has been litigant in
numerous important ditch suits re-
Gently where it has been attempted
to transfer water from this section
to lands far east and away from
those lands for which the appropria-
tions were intended. In every case
the Consolidated bitches association
has won its case. Prominent among
the bitches in the organization are
the Lower Latham, the Union, the
Bucker. the Farmers Independent,
the Fort Lupton, etc.
All of these dithces are under the
Platte river and bitches under the
Poudre have a similar organization.
The association in district No.
argues that if transfers proposed
had been made of the waters of the
Platte it would have been at the
loss of thousands of dollars to the
farmers of southern Weld county
practically leaving their lands bar
ren wastes The most important
suit in which the association was q
| litigant was that of the ]. Thoma:
ditch case, tried in the district cour
of Denver recently by which thu
outcome allowed the water repre-
sented by the early priorities OF thi
ditch to remain in the Fort Luptol
country instead of being transferred
to Morgan county as proposed.

DITCH MEETING HELD AT EATON
MAKES BIG HEADWAY IN HAIR
MONIZING INTERESTS IN THE
REELEN-POUDRE DISTRICT

Eaton, Feb. 17-Tmportant to the
Interests or the Greeley-Poudre lr-
rigaton district and consequently to
all OF northern Colorado was the
meeting held in the w. o. w. hall
here today by which the contract
pending for some time between the
minority stockholders of the Poudre
Valley ditch and the majority stock
holders of the same ditch represent
ed by the Laramie-Poudre Reservoir
and Irrigation company was signed
and the ditch entirely taken over by
the Greeley-Poudre Irrigation dis
trict, whose irrigation system is be-
ing built by the Laramie-Poudre
Reservoir and Irrigation company.
In making the trans er great ad
yantages have been obtained by the
Greeley- Poudre irrigation district
for which the Poudre Valley ditcn
now becomes one of its main feeders
from the Poudre river. The irriga-
ton district also becomes the owner
of Cobb lake. having a capacity OF
$50. 100000 cubic feet of water and
valued at 100000 and secures 1907
100000 cubic feet in Douglas reser-
voir.
On the other hand the present
minority stockholders in the Poudre
Valley ditch receive 100000
cubic feet of water of the Douglas
reservoir and it will also secure
privileges of using the Poudre Val
ley ditch as carrier up to certain
amount, for running this water into
the Douglass reservoir. The present
minority stockholders pay the dis
trict a nominal sum for this privi-
lege. The Laramie-Poudre Reser-
voir and Irrigation company also as
sumo all debts of the Poudre Valley
ditch, amounting to s160,OOO, and a
certain amount OF these debts must
be met monthly. 1t is understood
that 10000 OF the debt has already
been paid.
To operate the Douglas reservoir
interest of the so-called minority
stockholders in the Poudre Valley
ditch the Douglas Irrigation com
pany was incorporated yesterday,
capitalized at $4,000. ID. B
Watt, s. H. Southard and c. h.
Southard were named as incorpora-
tors and the irrigation company VIII
have all the powers OF the usual com
pany to build enlarge, vote bonds.
etc.
The foregoing contract signed by
the directors of the companies in
crested today must be voted on by
the taxpayers in the Greeley-Poud"e
Irrigation district which will be dole
soon. There is no doubt but what
the contract will be approved by
them as it is long step forward to-
ward the completion of the Greeley
Poudre Irrigation system. For sey-
eral years there have been difficult
ties between the majority and the
minority stockholders of the Poudre
Valley ditch and suits were institute
ed by the latter against the dis
triCt. These have all been with
