Every dollar necossary to the build

Big Irrigation Projeect.
A dispatch from Fort Collins says:
Financial support will he given by the
chamber of commerce nud without in
terest to an irrigatation project by
means of which 25, 000 acres in the north
ern portion of Lirimor County can be
irrigated ami made fruitful. After hear
ing the report of the irrigation commit
tee of the chamber it was decided toadd
several members to the committee and to
solicit foods to defray the expenses of a
preliminary suruey, which it is ostimat
ed will cost $3,000.
The plan is to construct a reservoir by
damming the Laramie river at Glendov
ey which will hold 2,500,000 cubic feet
of water. This water will he taken to
the plains iu tho northern part of Lar
imer county through a ditch which
which which will cross the divide ho
tween the Cache La Poudre and Lar
amie Rivers. The cost of the prhject
is estimated at $1,000,000 and it is pro
posed, if after a prelimitiarp survey it is
found feasible to organize an irrigation
district and vote bonds for the enter
prize.
The irrigation committee reported that
would be of great benefit tothe city’ and
and the county -and reccomended that
the Chamber of Commerce give it official
sanction. Andrew Tenney, an irriga
tionist of considerable experience,
pointed out on a map the territory’ to be
covered by the project and the proposed
lines of ditch." In the northeastern sec

North Park Stock Sold Well.
Denver Union Stock Yards, Oct. 28—
Another very good run of cattle was re
ceived here last week. Trade durrng
tirst few days was active and prices gen
erally’ steady despite the fact that east
ern markets were lower from the start.
Later in the week however, the financial
difficulties in Wall Street had a depress
ing effect on all markets and prices took
a tumble. Right good cattle closed 10 to
15 c lower but the general run of stuff is
off about a quarter here. Eastern mark
ets wero quoted all the way from 25 to
00 c lower. Beef steers sold under very’
fair demand, hulk of good ones going at
$3.75 to $4.20, some clioco Wyomings
bringing the latter price on Thursday.
Good cows also sold pretty well though
prices are lower. A hunch of choice
North Park cows brought $3.35 early’ in
the week but later choice Wyomings
sold at $3.20. Bulk of fair to good cows
brought $2.65 to $3.00 and stock cows
around $2 00 to $2.50. Bulls closed
about steady under firm demand and
ueals firmer than a week ago. Feeder
and stocker demand was strong early iu
the week and aricos held up well. Lat
er ahero was some depression hero ou
on account of big declnes east, though
all week continued very good and the
market closed in very good shape.
Choice North Park steers sold at SI.OO
and $4.00 Mat oaaly’ in the week. Later
very’ few were offered good enough to
land above $1.25 and bulk of fair to pret
ty good feeding steers sold at $3.40 to $4.
Receipts today were 2200 head. Trade
very dull and bids consideably lower
than last weeks close. Eastern markets

J. A. McNamara, Forest Ranger from
Middle Park, and Newton G. Bellairs
were in Walden yesterday on business
of the Forestry Service in connection
with the Denver Yellowstone & Pacific
Rail way, surveyed through the Park two
years ago.
They are making preparations to leave i
for Ow! Mountain to report on the dam

claimants in the Poudre Canon shall
have been properly disposed of it is ex- <

Pants
A boy in the Pueblo Schools has beeu
suspended for reading the following es
say: “Pants are made for men and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men and not for pants. When a man
punts for a woman and a woman pants
for a man they are a pair of pants.
Such pants don’t last. Pants are like
molasses; they are thinner in warm
weather and thicker in cold. The man
in the moon changes his pants during
tho eclipse. Don’t go to the pantry for
pants, you might be mistaken. Men are
often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes
aro.brecches of promise. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants is
singular or plural. Seems to us that
when men wear pants, it is plural and j
when they don,t wear any it is singular.
Men go on a tear in their pants and it is
all right; but when tlie jiants go ou a
tear it is all wrong.

Land for Goat Raising.
In a general way, all land In thfc
United States except very low.
swampy tracts, are suitable for goat
raising. The feed that goats prefer
is browse with a small admixture of
weeds and grass, and therefore those
tracts burdened with brushwood and
briers aie especially desirable. The
fact makes it clear that in the colder
parts of the country It would he neces
sary to provide some feed In winter,
os nothing but the sort twigs remain
at that time as browse. Goats will
eat grass If required to do so, and
will thrive upon it, but grass land is
regarded as being so much more
profitable for hay production or as pas
ture for cattle and sheep that the plac
ing of goats upon it Is not to be con
sidered.—G. F. Thompson, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Oat Crop.
The oat crop must bo put in early
just as soon ns the ground Is In fit
condition to disc and harrow. Early
sown oats stand a better show of get
ting ripe before the very hot weather
comes on. Oats relish the cool, moist
days of spring and early summer, but
cannot stand excessive heat.
Get It on the Fields.
Don’t throw the manure out of tho
side of the stable and allow It to lay
there until spring, every snow and
rain washing out the most valuable
part of It. Bed all stock freely, and
get every forkful of manure out on the
fields n« soon as possible.
