BRANDON.

    The town of Brandon is situated 20 miles west of the Colorado-Kansas
    state line, on the Missouri Pacific Ry., in the center of Kiowa
    county north and south. Four miles to the west is the Big Sandy river,
    from which the Chivington canal is to get its water to irrigate 40,000
    acres in the vicinity of Brandon.

    Another great irrigation project is the Mammoth ditch, which is to
    irrigate a large portion of Kiowa county.

    One year ago Brandon was an unmarked spot save two small buildings.
    Today it boasts of some of the best buildings in Kiowa county, among
    them a fine brick bank building, a two-story brick hotel and a large
    brick school house. In the line of frame buildings there is a large
    general store, a hotel, printing office, garage, livery stable and
    lumber yard. There, are some fine residences that would be a credit
    to a town many times its size. Brandon and vicinity ofiers great
    inducement to the homeseeker as well as to the investor. For
