Open Santa Fe Trail
For Tourist Traffic
Over Apache Hill Is To
Be Repaired; Not Used For
The Past Twenty Years.

A movement is on, foot to hive
the Santa Fe Trail in the southern
part Of the county opened to the
travelling public and the tourists
who will pass over this route, in
preference to motoring over the
Canine Real, from one end Of the
state to the other.
The Colfax county road commits
sioners will motor to that part Of
the county within the next few days
to ascertain the cost of putting the
highway into good condition in ord
er to induce the tourists to travel
over this route, which is reputed
to be one of the most beautiful sec.
tions in the southwest.
The greatest piece of work on
this highway is on the northern
slope of Apache hill which lies in
Colfax county and for some dis
tance the road must be repaired in
Mora county. 1t is understood that
the Mora county rosd commission
ers have signihed their willingness
to improve the highway IN that
county providing that the Colfax
county highway IS repaired.
This part Of the Santa Fe Trail
has not been travelled for the past
fifteen or twenty years, since the
abandonment OF the stage, and in
places it is impossible to pass with
any means of conveyance. The
road in places has been completely
washed out aud bridges are gone,
all Of which must Of necessisFE,e
repaired before tourists or anybody
else can pass over it.
This route offers the tourist the
greatest variation of scenery as
well as ideal places to camp and
fish. 1t Joins the Canine Req

Board On
Inspection

On Thursday Of last week the
board OF county road commissions
ers together County Commissioner
Harvev Shields, made an inspec-
tion tour OF the roads and bridges
in the southern part Of the county.
Six different sites where county
bridges are needed, were visited.
and at least FIVE Of them agreed up
on for immediate construction.
The places visited and where the
bridges will be constructed are:
The Grow crossing on the Raton-
Dawson road; the Van Brimmet
crossing near Colfax; the Rayado
bridge at Rayado; the Cimarron-
.cito crossing at the Uracca ranch;
the Ponil bridge between Cimarron
and Springer and the Sweetwater
bridge south Of Colmor near the
county line.
These bridges will be OF solid
concrete and not less than 80 feet
IN length. The funds for this inn

Will Issue 100000
Bonds For Project.
LARGE Dam To Be built On Antelope
Valley irrigation Project; viii
100000 Feet Water.

What will undoubtedly be one
Of the greatest irrigation projects
in the northern part Of the state, is
the annex to the Antelope Valley
Irrigation project easl of Cimarron
when that company lets the con-
tract for the 5000, 900 dam and re-
servoir to beybuilt on its vast hold
ings between Cimarron and French.
The board OF directors is now
busily engaged in making plans
and preparations for the disposal
Of the bonds voted by the stock
holders, who are the farmers on
the tract, to the amount of $780,
600, with which to construct the
dam. and when this is accomplish
ed actual construction work will be
started.
The dam will be constructed at
natural reservoir site 7 miles east
OF Cimarson, and when completed
will have a capacity Of 1900, 900
acre feet OF water, thus insuring
the farmers and those who own
land on the tract an abundance of
water with which to irrigate their
crops during the growing season
This project is going Though a
process Of litigation and it is sup
posed tnat the troubles will be
agreeably settled in the courts soon
and thar construction work on the
large dam will be started at the
earliest possible moment, thus put
ting more land under cultivation.
With the completion Of the large
dam, enough water can be stored
to irrigate every acre of tillable
soil on the tract, between forty and
fifty thousand acres. At the pres
ent water can only be stored with
which to irrigate about four thous-
and acres. and at some times it
has been difficult in the past to ir-
rigate the lands.that are now under
cultivation. The new dam will do
away with the troubles that the
farmers have experienced in the
times when water was at a prem
ium.
The tract will be rapidly settled
when the farmers are assured of an
abundant supply OF water at times
when it is needed, and is destined
20 become one Of the greatest sue
cessful farming sections in the
state.
