On Tuesday Lamar let the contract
for the boring OF an artesian well to John
Moers OF Littleton. The price to be
paid is: First 800 feet $3.50, next 500 feet
81 per foot, casing extra. The size of
the hole to be drilled we have not learned.
Lamar proposes to be among the enter
prising towns of the progressive Arkan-
sas valley.
Tho machinery for boring Rocky
Ford's artesian we'll arrived at that place
yesterday, and work will be pushed right
along until sufficiently of the fluid has
been found. The money for boring has
been raised by. private subscription.

The criminal libel suit of A. T
Hunt, of the La Junta Tribune, against
T. B. Wilson, of the La Junta Water
melon, came up for hearing before
Squire Robins last Saturday and the
case was dismissed, the ruling being that
the words published did not constitute q
libel. We presume that this will be the
end Of the unpleasant affair, the out
growth Of excessive friction generated by
the late municipal election.

Editors Of country papers which

beginning to realize that the opinion of
Attorney General Carr cut them from "a
large sum which they have been labor
ing under the impression the state owed
them. Inquiries are beginning to be re-
200 or 300 papers will not realize the
sum they thought they were entitled to.
However, it is not the fault of the

Late Literary News.

Much interest will be felt by the public
in the return of Rudyard Kipling to In
dia. He has Just agreed to furnish .
regular contribution to The Cosmopoli-
tan Magazine for the coming year, be-
ginning his work upon his return to
India. India has never been critically
considered by such a pen as Kipling's,
and what he will write for The Cosmo-
politan, will attract the widest attention,
both here and in England.
Perhaps the most beautiful series of
pictures ever presented of the Rocky
Mountains will be found in collection
by Thomas Moran for the May Cosmo-
politan. To those who have been in tho
Rockies, this issue of The Cosmopolitan
will be souvenir worthy of preservation
Though The Cosmopolitan sells for but
fifteen cents, probably no magazine in
the world will present for May so great a
number OF illustration specially designed
for its pages by famous illustratora.

The county commissioners have a
big job on hand for the present session
in auditing the numerous bills of the
district court. The sheriff's and district
clerks offices have bills amounting to
about $500, for services rendered at the
recent term of district court, some 5000
of which goes to the clerks offices and
the remainder to the sheriff.

The Arkansas Valley.

We take the following extracts from an
editorial article in tho Pueblo Chieftain
of Friday last:
"People who never get outside Of
Pueblo have no idea OF the continual i'm
provements that are made in the string
of towns which border the Arkansas river
all the way from Salida to the State line
The past three years, which have brought
so severe an experience for the larger
cities, seem to have had no bad effect on
the little crossroads settlements, and in
stead OF holding back as they have done
for the last twenty years they have appa-
rently just walked up and found their i'm
portance. Even up in the mountainous
part Of the valley is this true. A copy OF
the last issue of tho Canon City Clipper
gives q long and interesting account of
an excursion taken by the newspaper
man to such villages as Howard, Texas
Creek, Stout Creek and Cotopaxi. He
gives surprisingly long list OF the SUBJ
stantial improvements going on, both in
the towns and on the ranches. The
casual tourist might rido along there and
hardly suspect that any farming is done
in what seems narrow canon, yet yari-
GUS ranches of fifty to seventy acres and
orchards Of fifteen acres are mentioned,
and in numerous places hundreds OF
being planted
Other newspapers frequently mention
the growth of settlements rarely heard of
until the last two or three years, especi-
ally along the many big bitches in Bent,
Otero and Prowers counties. Even
Kiowa county, back from the river, man
ages to support quite population.
As to La Junta and Florence, they
have quite boom going on. Canon City
was never more prosperous, and Grenada
has grown to be a fine little town.
Tho town of Rocky Ford, down the
valley, is complaining because it oan not
get enough houses for the people TO live
in who want to reside there. Silver Cliff
is awakening to new and vigorous life.
Catlin has a. new newspaper and fruit
colony. Lamar supports two newspapers
and Las Animas two.
ALI this increase has been made with
out the construction Of a single reservoir.
and without any definite possibility for
the worst period of depression ever
known. It is therefore reasonable topre-
dict that in course of time, when the snow
water and tho rain water Of this great val
ley are properly conserved, there will be
ample facilities for the support of several
times the present population. But besides
tho one resource of agriculture we have
the vast mining industry OF southern
Colorado to contribute to our prosperity,
to say nothing of the fact that the smelt-
ers of Pueblo and Canon City have pat
rons hundreds of miles distant in New
Mexico, Old Mexico, Arizona and Utah. !"

eral situation in this, the garden spot OF
southern Colorado.
The Santa Fe depot was endangered
by fire on Saturday. A lot of loose
boxes on the platform were discovered on
fire and but for timely work much dam
age would have been done.
DIR. Hubbard, who il an authority on
arboriculture, says that the cutting down
Of forest trees in the Mississippi valley
has resulted everywhere in ma king it
