land is fairly we'll graded before planting,
with good system Of bitches and irriga-
ton boxes with stop gates, one man will

land of San Juan county will be ready for
settlement before another spring rolls

junction City Times: In speaking of
the railroad prospect for San Juan county,
Judge Montague, who visited this section
last week. said: "I have never seen a
better country than this for railroad en-
terprise. There is plenty of idle railroad
capital in the east waiting for just such

stranger l make the prediction that a
railroad will be into this county within a
year."
