LETTER FROM THE ROCKIES CHAMBERS LAKE. (Altitude 12.000 feet.) Dear Northwestern. As permitted I herewith jol you a line from the Rockies. Seated In our camp hut a few feet below timber line. In sight of the beautiful snow that caps Longs Teak, on our left and Clarks on our right, and at the head waters of the Casta La Poudra river, and the lake like glist nlng silver below presents to one a scene rich, grand and thrilling, one long to be remember ed. And as l gaze on natures grand panorama I can wonder why tourists chose the east when the west presents to the sight seeing eye so mnch that Is magnitlcent and grand. Chambers Lake Is a beautiful sheet of water clear and lee cold, located between two ranges of the Rockies, about 2.000 feet below timber line and receives Its water from the snow of a port of the Medicine Bow range of the Rockies, fed to it by cascades rumbling, tumbling and roarin* down the mountain side and last but not least by a canal that taps the Little Lara inle some 7 miles from the lake and Is hung along the clifs or side of the mountain a 1 uuO ft. above our camp built at an expense of half a million dollars, and is known as the sky line ditch, making the lake one grand reservoy, which empties Into Poudra river and flows some so miles down the Poudra Grand canyon and supplies the Larnnilc canal or Grand ditch, and Irrigates many thousand acres of land. As one travels through the Irrigated portions of Colorado, and views the beautiful well fruit ed orchards, the Immense Helds of grain and the innumerable medows of dark green alfalfa, one ran only imagine the great wealth and value of water when used for Irrigation. Colo rado lands without water rights are In a man ner valueless, but with sufficient water to In sure a crop Is worth and readily sells at from four to ten thousand dollars per quarter, then farms are generally pretty well Improved, that Is good houses but seldom barns or ganarles. Your readers perhaps will think this an exhor bltaut price to pay for a quarter sec. of land ami may wonder bow any money cun be made at farming In this laid of dykes and ditches, but It seems they do and not a few of them paid out 0(1.000 oa their farms In one year, and water has done ull this for Colorado and t be llcvs the Loup City ditch can do this and more and do It for 75 per cent less money than is and must be expended here, and why'r Be cause the Loup will furnish more water and it is easier to get and better land to irrigate. The farmers are very busy just now threshing their grain and turning the last water of the season on their potatoes. Their wheat weighing out .10 to tw bushels to the acre and an ordinary days run for threshers Is 2.<*J0 bushel, some made at high us t too. They furnish hands teams and board and charge 5 cents per bushel. The potato crop will not be an average one this yeur as the stand Is generally poor. Wages run from 1*5.OS 135.00 per month and work Is assured narrly the whole year. Nebraska boys need no recommend or reference and are well represented here. Fort Collins, the county seat is a beautiful town of s or 10 thousand In habitants, laid out In circular form, line wide streets, beautiful grovet and elegant buildings situated on the left bank of the Poudra rlvtr and under the mountain, and Is surrounded by some of the finest fruit farms In Colo. Alfalfa Is the main stay of the Colorado farmer. It Is their only fertilizer, and In order to keep up the productive properties of the land it must he turned under at least once in three years. Sherman county land would aot require it. E. o. Paige. ASHTON ITEMS E. F. Beushauseii was over from Ord, Thursday.
