Mr.. HIATT WILL SHOW
WHAT DRAINAGE WILL DO

Mr. E. c. Hiatt is doing some good
work In the way OF draining seep
land. Sometime ago he purchased
forty acre tract OF land that had been
practically abandoned on account OF
seepage.
Mr. Hiatt has had this land sur
veyed by drainage experts and has a
force OF men ditching in and putting
tile in Mr.. Hiatt, who is somewhat
of surveyor himself. is keeping close
watch OF the work ani will see that
It is done properly. Mr.. Hiatt was
county surveyor for his home county
In Indiana before coming to Colorado
and has had a good deal Of expert
ence In the drainage business. Much
OF the best land in Indiana and I'LL
nois is the land that early settlers
passed by on account OF its being too
wet and which has since been tiled
and drained.
The work Mr.. Hiatt is doing will
prove OF great benefit to this commun-
ity. as ii will prove what can be done
with the wet and alkali tracts. This
tract Mr.. Hiatt is working on is about
the worst tract in the valley. Mr.. Hiatt
proposes TO make II about the best.

Dear Sir: l like the prosperity sto-
ries that have appeared In The Rec
ord OF late from ranchers and VIII
supplement these with a few figures
OF my own. and now that the end Of
the leaf roller appears to be in sight.
let us hope that another year at least
will put Us all again on our feet and
ON the road to prosperity.
Seven years ngo this fall. after
disposing Of part OF my former
orchard. ! decided to seek q new To-
cation, and with this end in view did
make n hurried trip over the western
slope. but returned not fully decided
as to where to locate in the mean
time.
Sr. Deweese got hold Of me and by
making on attractive offer on a piece
OF land was really the main factor In
holding me in this locality. Accord
Ingiy I purchased from him n twenty
acre tract then mostly in alfalfa for
5000.
This land was Immediately planted
to trees and from the start has al
ways made us a good living. and this
season. while the trees are only be-
ginning TO produce. the gross sales
will foot up about as follows: Apples
already sold. 1890; value OF apples
still In cellar. $1,000: cherry crop
sold. $500: strawberries. $500; max
ing a total OF better than $1,000. be-
sides quite showing from sale Of
butter. eggs. asparagus. melons. etc.
Since purchasing this tract about
$1,000 has been expended on improve
ments and five acres OF the younger
orchard has been disposed Of for 81
600. The remaining fifteen acres are
valued at $4,000. and in fact are not
for sale at this figure. which gives me
net gain In,value OF $4,000 in the
seven years. or. as l figure II. better
than $3.50 per day since purchasing.
Would the western slope or any
other section Of Colorado have made
any better showing on the same in
vestment!

PAPID TRANSIT STARTS
STREET IMPROVEMENT

Work has been started by the Rapid
Transit Company on the paving OF
its portion Of the Fort street stretch
between King and Queen streets
where the Bitulithic & Concrete Paw
ing Company has a contract from the
city and county to lay bitulithic
pavement on a cnocrete base. Prop
erty owners along the line, excepting
the United States owning one side Of
the block from Merchant to King
streets, will bear part of the cost of
the municipal job.
: With the completion of this work
there will be bitulithic pavement-on
Fort street from Queen to Hotel
streets. The present contract is the
result of discovery made that the
tracks of the street railway had to
be lowered six inches, at the. inter
section of Fort and Queen streets,
after the work had started ON repair
ing that space by the city govern
ment. This compelled a suspension
& of operations, which gave j. A Gil

including part payment by abutting
property owners, for paving the two
blocks above indicated
While the work is being done the

Others. connected in one capacity or

proposition in mind; and before the
convention is over they plan to lay
the scheme before the delegates.
There are now, they argue, various

Even by taking the samples OF the
