the clapper though by no unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident, Isaac Morris
wrote, March 10, 1853:

with that failure and also netted at the gibes of

services, but the authorities decided TO allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again, and thus the
third and present casting was made, and again

NEW RESERVOIR ON
THE CONEJOS RIVER

At the time the Farmers Ex-
cursion' was run from Monte Vista
to the south end of the valley, it
was seen that the crops in the
vicinity of Manassa, Sanford, An
tonito and other towns in that
locality were sadly in need of
water. This condition has for a
long time been recognized by the
farmers who are dependent upon
Conejos for water and committee
was recently appointed to investi-
gate the feasibility of constructing
a reservoir.
The committee engaged j. G.
Ulrich, an engineer Of well-known
ability in irrigation projects, to in
vestigate the proposed reservoir
site on the Conejos river.
He went carefully over the
ground and formed conclusions
from comparisons of the site with
that of the Farmers Union reser-
voir on the Rio Grande which en-
terprise he engineered. He made
no tests to determine the character
of the formation and consequently
was not prepared to make definite
report but from surface observa-
tions he pronounced the PROPOSE
ton substantially the same as the
Farmers Union reservoir site, with
the exception that it is much
larger. From what he could see
he believes the site feasible and if
the capacity of the reservoir should
prove to be what certain previous
estimates have placed it at he re-
CARDS it as one of the compara-
lively least expensive storage prop
ositions in the west A former
survey by other parties estimates
that dam l35 feet high will i'm
pound 100000 aore.f feet of water
and that the length of the dam
would be l,20O feet at the top.
Providing these figures are correct,
Mr.. Ulrich is of the opinion that
the structure would cost from $780,
600 to 81 100000 or from $50 TO
$40 per acre foot of water, i'm
pounded.
Mr.. Ulrich advised where exca-
vations should be made to test the
formation on the sides of the canon
and in the river bed. He further
pointed out where to excavote to
test the character of the material
which appeared available for the
construction.
The party will as soon as posi-
BILE frame a report of Mr.. Ulrich's
observations which will be placed
in the hands Of the committee
which will take such further action
as they deem advisable.

Potato growers in the San Luis
valley see the need of organization.
There was no good reason for 90
cent decline in the market in a
single week. Eastern demand did
not justify it. Potatoes have be-
come as staple an article of diet as
-four and meat and the price
should be as uniform. Storage
and shipments should demand the
attention of potato organization.
1t may be best for the growers to
store their potatoes and ship only
on orders. There is no danger of
over-supply at fair profit to the
grower. The producer and con-
sumer must get nearer together.
