Almln. Basin.

Alfalfa Basin, so called, lies east of Surface
creek about three miles, and considerably
lower than the surrounding mcsas. II is
about mile square, containing four ranches
running across it, mile long and a quarter
wide. The upper or northern ranch is owned
by $. :. Baldwin, who has part of II fenced
and under cultivation. with two good houses
corrals, stables, implement houses, etc, and
the necessary machinery for farming cconom-
ically. This year being his first he succeed
cd in getting in only about forty acres Of
wheat oats, barley and corn, with vegetables
enough for his own use. His crops this year
have been very good MS the samples now in
this Office will show. J. II. Hart and his
brother own the next two lying south. They
fi,rmcd both ranches jointly this year, and
were well paid for their labor, having in
about hundred acres. They have good,
substantial houses built, farms fenced, stables,
corrals, etc. The lower ranch is owned by A.
l.. Botsford, who has about forty acres under
cultivation. These are the only locations in
the basin, in fact they cover all that can be
watcred. The basin is supplied by n ditch of
1000 inches capacity, three miles long, from
Surface creek, which come tumbling down
from the higher mesa In miniature cascades,
over bouldcrs Of immense size, coursing its
~ay through the basin, thread of silver, en-
riching the soil aud bringing forth vegetation
every place II touches. The ditch finds its
way out Of the basin at the southwest corner,
to supply two or three ranches further down
down the mesa proper. Tho bottom Of the
basin is almost as level as floor, gradually

ACCORDING to the provisions Of the game
law the fifteenth Of September is the com
mencement OF the season when sportsmen will
be at liberty 10 slaughter deer, antelope, elk,
etc. From the indications the season will be
unusually lively, and large number of par
ties are making arrangements for a few weeks
hunting Mineral discoveries have had the
effect Of driving the game much farther west
than ii was few years ago, and a hunting
trip now is greater undertaking than form
erly. There is still few isolated spots where
game can be found In reasonable abundance.
Among the best places for deer is on the di.
vide between the Grand and Gunnison rivers,
and in the region Of the Holy Gross noun
tain, about forty miles northwcs, from Lead
vile. The old White River reservation,
however, is the present paradise OF sports

MoSTIosI county talks of holding an ag-
ricultural fair this fall, TO show outside bar
bsrians what she can do. This is step in
the right direction, and although it may not
be success financially, it will be great ben
eft in aiding the settling of the county.
What farmers who contemplate settling on
our lands want more than anything else is to
be convinced that the soil is productive as
claimed, and then there will be no doubt but
that every acre available will be put under
cultivation in the near future. Nothing is
more convincing TO a sceptic than ocular
demonstration, and we of this valley can give
ocular demonstrations" in farm produce to
the satisfaction of everyone. Neighbor, count

A, the present time the district does not own
building Of any kind to hold school in, the
old one having burned down last year. A
building will have to be rented this winter at
q sum that would nearly pay the intcrcs; on
a sum that would erect good house Of four
rooms. We do not advocate the putin; up
of an expensive building, but one that will
do for few years, and one that can be built
on TO as the occasion may require, say only
one wing of . building, letting the main
building and the other wing remain till some
future time. We will certainly protest
against putting up temporary building, one
that will have to be removed in a few years,
on our school block. lie, us draw a compre-
hcnsive plsn for school house and build il
gradually. Then when i, is finished VIC will
have building that will do us for n long
time, and when the time comes for larger
one this building can be used for primary
school. Our citizens should take this matter
under adv,s cmcnt, remembering that the win.
