the scene in person to direct his hght what
hurts Perkins is the fact that In the California
Legislature OF 1890 he voted against the adoption
OF the Fifteenth Amendment. and this has
brought against him the entire strength OF the
colored men OF the State. Perkins has a bad
record also as a Pfotectionist. for last year at a
meeting OF the Chamber OF Commerce Of this city
he favored putting coal and iron on the free list
because they were not produced In California.
In a similar spirit he favored free grain bags

high water mark of previous years, and
wagon and railroad bridges and canals
suffered badly.

tween Rocky Ford and La Juni . lost

burst created flood which washed the
depot from its foundation over the track,
Throughout western Kansas the Santa
Fe suffered greatly, gaps measur-

feet were washed out. All trains were
stopped from Monday morning until
Thursday evening, no mails being re-

"A larger area has been planted to
potatoes in this vicinity than any previ-
ous year. Those Of our farmers who
have given this crop the attention it de-
serves have had good success. The large
acreage now looking so encouraging
promises to give potato culture such
widespread trial and general success as
shall cause Arkansas valley farmers to
think more of ''spnds" as q proft-making
crop. The experimental potato growing
which has been done in the past few
years clearly indicates that the Rocky
Ford country may become the rival of
Greeley and the Divide in this line of
agriculture.

THE UNDERGROUND RIVER.
Tapped By Rocky Ford's Artesial
Well.
[From The Pueblo Chieftain.l

tFrom The Pueblo Chieftain.]
This paper few weeks ago advanced
the argument that a vast amount o.
water-much greater at least than ii
supposed from a superficial view, is pass
ing eastward from the Rocky Mountains
under the thousand feet OF shale with
which we are acquainted. It was moi
then supposed that the tapping OF g
great artesian we'll at Rocky Ford would
30 soon add force to the suggestion. II
Yields much greater flow OF water than
any of the dozen wells heretofore drilled
through this bed of shale in the Arkan-
sas Wiley. One of the commissioners
Of Otero county estimates that the water
from the we'll is sufficient to irrigate 90
acres Of land. It is to be hoped that
other such streams shall be tapped not
only in a locality already supplied with
three OF four big irrigating bitches but
outside where it is needed.
sented by this Rocky Ford we'll. The
greatest and most important is the abso-
lutte proof Of large and strong volume
of water far below the surface all the
way from the mountains to that point,
and therefore necessarily underlying
Pueblo and all this region Of country,
and probably extending far beyond La
Junta, and doubtless having its quiet
and unseen outlet in the "sheet water"
a few feet below the surface Of great
territory of western Kansas.
The presence of this underground
river is proved not go much by the vol
ume- for fault in the formation might
let large amount OF water down through
the thick bed of shnle nom the Arkansas;
but it is shown by the mighty pressure
OF the well The contractor attached
pipe to the casing in partial and loose
way which allowed half the stream to es-
cape, yet the water ran up at once to q
height of rs feet. He expressed the
opinion that it would have risen quite as
easily to a height of 1000 feet, because the
source OF the stream is in the foothills
or the mountains.
The most casunl reference to this will
show some of the resultant possibilities,
For one thing, the water can be carried
up into standpipe and then by force Of
gravity let into system of water pipes
for domestic use and fire pressure. But
more important than this it can be used
for water power and manufacturing.
The Rocky Ford we'll is evidently from
a deeper, broader and quite different
source than the mineral water Of the
Pueblo wells. The bore was extended
well down into the stratum known as the
Dakota sandstone. The water has but
slight mineral properties-enough 70
chow that these earlier wells may claim
kinship. Fl is soft and Of good quality.
