We are under obligations to +. J.
V. Skiff Supt. of the Bureau of EN-
migration for copy of the book en-
titled colorado" containing an in,
teresting statement of the natural re-
sources and industrial development
and condition of Colorado. In the
work we find the following:
Prowers county is in the extreme
southeastern part of the state and IS
bounded west by Bent, north by Kio-
wa and south by Baca. On the east
is Kansas. Being less than a year
old there are no county buildings.
Ii has an area of 1868 square
miles, through which runs the Ar.
kansas river. The surface is slightly
nnduiating, of sandy1oIm, and fer
tle, especially in the valleys. The
population is abont 5000, and the
principal towns are Lamar, the coun-
ty seat, Granada, Holly, Carlton and
Mulvane. The people come from all
portions of the country and engage in
farming and stock raising. From
the time of John Prowers, the first
white settler, after whom the county
is named. to 1889, when created. If
has ever been fine grazing section.
The assessed valuation is $1,000, 600,
about three per cent. taxation, out
side of municipal corporations. The
debt assumed as part of the debt of
Bent county, Of which it was part.
amounts to $4,000. There are
eighteen public schools, with 600
pupils, and $4,000 in school proper
~. There are three churches. AL.
most the entire area OF the county is
agricultural land, available for apri
culture, and the bitches projected,
when completed, will cover at least
100000 acres. There are five canals
with about $50 miles of irrigation.
The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
runs thirty eight miles through the
county. Farming, under irrigation.
and stock raising are the induce
mentS to settlers. This new county
has the land office at Lamar, which
Will prove powerful factor In fill
ing up the county. There is plenty
of water in the Arkansas, the soil is
fertile upon the ulalns, and the con.
stfuotipn OF irriahaR- dNekess will
take from the cattlemen these wide
feeding grounds and convert them
into beautiful aud well paying farms
The second town of importance is
Granada, on the Arkansas and at the
mouth of Granada creek. 1t is but
eight miles from the Kansas line and
Is already receiving additions to Its
population, drawn from that state
into the Lamar land district. This
county has grown within the last
four years. Prior to that time, 1t
was but draary waste, indeed.

San Francisco to Chicago on
a Bicycle.
j. ID. MARTrN,
Chairman.

Since gold was first discovered in
California the journey between the
Mississippi valley and the Pacific
coast has been made IN all manner
Of vehicles, from hand-cart to a
palace car, but it remained for a
Chicago newspaper man to undertake
The feat OF iourneying across the con
tlnent on bicycle. Mr.. Thomas
Roe, of the Chicago Herald, and a
wheelman of considerable note, left
San Francisco on September 81, des-
tined to Chicago. He will travel
along the line of the Santa Fe Rail
road. This route was selected on ac
count of its entire freedom from aka
Ii dust, the small number of tunels,
and for the reason that its grades are
so light that they can be easily oyer
come on bicycle. Mr.. Roe rides a
machine of regulation style-that is,
with large wheel in front-and which
was built to order for this trip: it Is
of extra weight and strength, to IN
sure against accident en- route. The
distance by the Santa Fe Route from
San Francisco to Chicago is about
$500 miles, and men who ride BIZ
cycle say it will take Mr.. Roe about
forty days to make the trip. 1t will
at any rate require over a million re-
volutions of the wheel to complete
the journey. MIR, G. NJ. johnson
agent of the Santa Fe has kindly con-
sented to notify us few days in ad-
vance W hen Mr.. Roe will pass through
Lamar and the REGISTER will give
due notice to Its readers of the date,
as it will be of interest to many to see
man with leg-muscle enough to
propel a bicycle from the Golden
Gate to the city by the Great Lakes.

Mr.. A. w. Miller while engaged
in repairing the baking oven of Jas.
Cassidy last Monday, had rather a
strange experience. His regular as.
sistant was engaged in getting load
of hay at some distance from town,
and Mr.. Miller found it necessary to
get some one TO assist him. The
man whose services lie engaged was
n stranger to him, but as the work
would not take more than half an
hour, he considered that of little i'm
portance. The oven had been used
the day before and was exceedingly
warm. Mr.. Miller was working upon
the inside when his helper probably
prompted by pure oussedpess closed
the oven door, locking him securely
upon the inside and then decamped,
Mr.. Miller's haloos brought no re.
sponse and as the atmosphere in the
oven was becoming unbearabIy warm
he had no resource but to Dig through
the arch for liberty. This he sue.
ceeded in doing after one-half an
hours work. He has not been able
to find his accommodating helper as
yet.-Las Animas Leader.
