of $600,000; $300000 of which is to be used in completing 

 the dam and ditch system. The present dam is over 100 

 feet high and will store about 8,000 acre feet of water. 

 When completed it will be 219 feet high. The bonds will 

 be twenty-year, bearing 6 per cent interest. 



Engineer H. R. Oliver, of Fort Morgan, has com- 

 pleted plans for the building of a dam 65 feet high, \ l / 2 

 miles above Fort Morgan, which will store 110,000 acre 

 feet of water, which will be carried 98 miles to the Haxtun 

 reservoir in the northwestern part of Phillips county, 

 where a 19-mile canal will be built to distribute it. The 

 Haxtun reservoir will contain 20,000 acre feet and will 

 cost $150,000, the main canal $1,250,000 and the main res- 

 ervoir $1,000 000. Denver capitalists are behind the 

 project, which is considered one of the best propositions 

 in Colorado. 



A $3,000,000 bond issue has been voted by the East 

 Denver Municipal Irrigation District, comprising 60,000 

 acres northeast of Denver, for the purpose of taking over 

 the Knglish High Line ditch, the Antero reservoir, the 

 Terminal and Abbott sub-reservoirs, and completing the 

 extensions of the main line ditch and laterals. The 

 English High ditch was built 30 years ago, but was with- 

 out an adequate water supply until the completion of the 

 Antero reservoir last year. 



A new irrigation ditch, which will make use of many 

 smaller ditches when completed, will irrigate an immense 

 acreage near Sterling, called the Sterling irrigation dis- 

 trict. The Jackson and Riverside reservoirs, now sup- 

 plying water to the North Sterling district, will be used by 

 the new system as a storage point, and the ditches of the 

 North Sterling system, to a certain extent, will be used 

 as outlets for the water into the new West Sterling 

 ditches. The lands which will be irrigated lie between the 

 Pawnee ditch and the ditches of the North Sterling dis- 

 trict, and one on higher ground. Under the supervision 

 of State Engineer Comstock, the Riverside reservoir.
