 water to be used in irrigating the West Sterling district, 

 is being improved and the dam raised, all at a cost of

The engineers in charge of the Elk River irrigation 

 project in Routt county have completed their survey, and 

 state that the entire line will be very reasonable in con- 

 struction considering the immense value of the tract of 

 fertile land to be watered, reaching almost the entire 

 length of the county. It is stated that the water supply 

 is adequate for 200,000 acres of land. The land to be re- 

 claimed lies in the west end of Routt county. It is claimed 

 that $5,000 acres will be brought under cultivation in 18 

 months. 



Julius Christensen, of Philadelphia. Pa., has purchased 

 $1.000,000 worth of bonds of the Pueblo-Rocky Ford Irri- 

 gation Company. The proceeds of the sale are to be used 

 in completing the first unit of the company's irrigation 

 system which is to irrigate 150,000 acres of land in south-

 authorized capital stock of $2,000,000, and is also au-

 water for the first unit of the land will be turned on the 

 land in the spring of 1911.

 or their agents from interfering with the work of the 

 company in the construction of their irrigation ditch

DRILLED WELLS FOR IRRIGATION 



Make Every Well a Flowing Well 



Flowing wells are not found in every locality, but they 

 can be made to flow to their full capacity. 



Every farm and every ranch should and can have their 

 own water supply; a good well adds thousands of dollars to 

 the value of a property. 



The first item of expense is the only expense; a good 

 well is inexhaustible and lasts for all time.
