September 1902 Denver

"The first two men from the country outside of Sterling and the region thereabouts to take up land in the Pawnee reservoir site were two from this city, and their names are Charles E. Hogoboom and James Snath. These two young men live at 1255 South Tremont, and Mr. Hogoboom has lived in the Sterling country for some time prior to his removal here. He said yesterday that he had constantly kept his eye on the land up in that country, thinking it to be the best in the state, and when he heard of the opening of the reservoir site, at once persuaded Mr. Snath to join him in a trip up there to take up the land. The latter was a little averse to going at first, but he says now that he would not take $l,OOO for his land just as it is. The gentlemen went to the reservoir site last Sunday, looked over the ground, picked their 160 acres apiece and filed on it Tuesday. They have their land In township 7, section 29. range 54, one mile east and eight south of the reservoir. It is of the finest land in the state, and Mr. Hogoboom says that it will be equal to the Greeley land when it is opened up thoroughly. It has everything to improve it, has the rich soil to begin with, and will give the finest and largest of crops in a short time.
Mr. Hogoboom lived in Logan county for fifteen years and says that there Is not a better piece of land in the county. The two Denver men were the seventh and the eighth to file and the others were all men from that county. Mr. Hogoboom has already built a frame building on his land, and Mr. Snath will erect a home there soon. Mr. Hogoboom said yesterday afternoon that he would also make some Improvements and put up a more substantia1 building on his land next spring, when he will go there to stay. He intends, as does Mr. Snath, to go up during the winter to be sure that nothing goes wrong, although they do not have to go on the land for six months after filing. They will have to live on the land for ten years before proving up, and this will necessitate their paying ten yearly payments for the water rights there.
This will be $1 a year for every acre of land taken up. This will amount to some $1,600 for the ten years, but the land will be worth a small fortune in that time, and the production before that date will more than pay for the water rights payments.
There are twenty-nine townships in the tract just opened, and hundreds of people are going there to take up the land. Before the Denver men left there about 100 had already filed, and the liveries were receiving constant telegraphic advices to save rigs for men from abroad, who wished to drive onto the land, purposing to prove up. The land was only opened on Thursday of last week, and the men are flocking in there from the East and West in great numbers.
There are several Dunkards from the East who will come in, as a correspondent of theirs has informed them of the remarkable chance to get good homes in that section of the country. All of this site will undoubtedly be taken up in the next month, and the two Denver men are very fortunate to get in as soon as they did. They have had the pick of the land, and will make a good thing out of their future homes. Mr. Hogoboom said: 'It is a great investment. I do not see where a man could make a home for himself any easier or with so little exme(sic). If all of the land is taken up in the early spring and Mr. Snath will go with me. If all of the land is staken up in the site, as it will undoubtedly be, the land there will be worth at the very start $25 an acre at the lowest figure. Some of the land on the river bottoms has already been quoted at $4O and above, and our land is just as fertile as that land is. It is a country which is better than the Greeley land in that it has the good soil to start with, and the prospects are the very brightest. The people going in there can only prove up after the ten years’ residence, so that the land will be well settled up by and during that time. The site is twelve miles west of Sterling, and is located in the very best of the Logan county lands.'
Mr. Hogoboom says that he intends to put on some stock and also to get some bees next spring, as he believes they will do well there."
