The Cushman Mesa.

Since water began running in the Cushman
ditch this mesa begins to assume different
appearance. Over seventy-fve cabins now
dot the landscape, and quite number are
building and fencing. If water had been as
sured earlier in the spring double the number
of acres would have been put in. AS it is
the mesa will show up remarkably well this
season, although nothing like it would have
if there had been an early supply of water
The following are few of those who have
put in crops this year: II. B. Kennedy thir-
ty acres oats; W. D. Brown, thirty acres oats;
E. L. Kellogg, twenty acres oats; John S.
Way, fifty acres alfalfa; J. A. Haycraft, five
acres; Robert Dillon, thirty acres; A. Cush-
man, eighty acres; Wilson, twenty acres.
Next year with plenty of water this acreage
will be doubled or trebled. Two mammoth
bitches, the Uncompahgre canal and Cush-
man ditch, will furnish water. The Cush.
man ditch is already running water, and the
canal finished to the Ash mesa, just across
Chapparel. The canal has their surveys made
and right of way secured, and, it is hoped,
will have water running in time for next
springs irrigation.

To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
No doubt General Logan feels greatly hon
ored by the relationship existing between
himself and me, (can't say that l do); it is
almost as near relationship as certain old
gentleman and young lady, were. He said
he came near being her father, as he had
spanked her mother. am like the old lady
who always had something good to say for
every nne. A friend asked her what good
she could say about the devil. She replied
that if every person would attend to their
own business as strictly as the devil did to
his, there would be less trouble in the world.
/ can say that the Union army had no braver
general than Logan. If l carry torch in
the Republican procession this fall, it will be
to fire K. D.. Blair's coat-tail and run him
over to the Democratic camp. L. GILL.

To the Northwest and the Far West

No highway of travel has received more
fattering notices from the public than the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul Railway,
the pioneer short line and the popular route to
the Northwest and the Far West Whether
ones Mecca be Omaha, St. Paul, Minneap-
oils or Dakota, on the different branches OF
this much.travcled thoroughfare, or even if
ones destination be to points still more re-
mote it presents. without doubt the great
est advantages to the traveller in his west
ward course Apart from its excellent road.
bed, its fine coaches and the grand scenery
through which it passes, its dining cars and
service are probably the most sumptous of
any railroad in the world. Indeed, the west
ern lines, and notably the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul, fairly lead their eastern RI
walls in the matter of comforts administered to
their passengers. So that with statistics to
show ones life is safer in the average railway
train than when sitting in: ones home or
when attending to ones legitimate, business,
the traveller who places. himself under the
guardianship of well regulated railway may
prosecute his journey with a feeling of Sc
curity and comfort as great as when reclining
in his armchair amid his own layes ct penafes.
For the benefit ofthose desiring to emigrate
to Dakota and other localities in the North
west and Far West, the Chicago Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway Company has published
an illustrated pamphlet full Of common sense
facts and valuable information and statistics,
which will be sent free of charge, by address.
