ESTABLISHED 1871 JAMES JR. IVES, MANAGER 1911 ================================================= LAS ANIMAS. The county seat of Bent county, with a population of 2,568, altitude 3,900 feet, is destined to become the leading city in the Arkansas Valley,by reason of its location and the developments now under way. The American Beet Sugar Company has erected here, at a cost of $1,000,000, one of the most modern beet sugar factories in the state. The government has located here, at Old Fort Lyons, what is to be the most complete naval sanitarium in the United States. The Fort Lyon canal system of irrigation, already the largest in the West, is now being actively augmented by other irrigation enterprises, which will give this the largest irrigated area of any section of the state. The Bent & Prowers and Rule Creek canals and reservoirs will soon be completed, also the Smith Canon (Carey Act) and Highland Irrigation district. Bent county has long been acknowledged as the leading sheep feeding county of the state. Has a live, up-to-date commercial club. Write them for information.
