Big Reservoir Under Construction in Northern Colorado
Work has begun on a large reservoir planned to exceed 150000 dollars in cost by the North Poudre Irrigation Company. It will create a 700 acre lake with a 46 foot dam, storing 550 million cubic feet and potentially double that in favorable seasons. The project uses 300000 cubic yards of earth and 8000 cubic yards of waste, drawing water from the Cache River and Jume flood waters.

Dairymen and hog raisers eye sugar beet products in Colorado
Dairymen at Lakewood near Denver ship beet pulp from Loveland sugar factory in forty ton carloads at 1.12 a ton on the track. Pulp is said to be a palatable fattening feed, potentially harming dairy cows. Hog feeding may rely on sugar beets and hulless barley before sugar extraction, with chopped beet offering quicker results. Denver cold storage usage grows for perishable fruits, with growers storing apples at about 15 cents a box seasonally, sometimes higher by March. Mr Coburn of Delta county holds ten carloads of choice dye apples at Denver storage.
