<br />Most or our company Directors have known Mr. Idler for sometime,
<br />since he has been associated in the agricultural industry in the
<br />Lamar area. Mr. Idler is President o~ the Fort Bent Ditch Company,
<br />which is below John Martin Dam and has water rights on the
<br />Arkansas River, in District 67, in the Lamar area. Mr. Idler has
<br />also been very active in irrigation and agricultural matters over
<br />a period of years in the Arkansas River Valley.
<br />
<br />Mr. Leo Idler, as we indicated, is a third generation or rarmers
<br />in this area and his grandrather settled in the Arkansas River
<br />Valley in the 1880's. He was born here, is a native Coloradan,

<br />member or the Farmer's Union, supporting agricultural interests in
<br />Colorado. In addition to being President of the Fort Bent Ditch

<br />him in the farming operation, but they have been active in the
