To Reclaim 500, 900 Valley Acres.

Denver.-Tentative plans for the
reclamation OF 5000 acres of seep-

be under way soon. according to Gov.
ernor Ammons. who. with State Engi.
neor John e. Field. returned from an
inspection trip. The state is to have
the cooperation OF the federal govern
ment and owners OF large tracts In
the basin. The reclamation OF the
lands will not only double the present
enormous crops of the valley. but will
probably solve the estrangement be-
tween the government and the state
over the uses of the water rights OF
the Rio Grande. according to Governor
Ammons.

building and grounds police. They say
lit is probably made Of brass.
