Der OF bolls are now on exhibition

fully as good as any cotton that
can be raised anywhere. II was
planted early in May and though
picked before it was quite ripe,
huge punches OF the cotton pro-
trudcd from the bolls. This pro-
duct requires long dry season,
and an irrigation country would
seem to be the best adapted to its

Under the head of "Some Of
Colorado's Prosperous Counties" :"
containing . resume by the various
county clerks, the following COM
munication appears in the Denver
Evening Post Of Monday evening.
signed by ]. E. Gauger, county
clerk and recorder Of Otero county:
The year just closed has been
one OF the most successful in the
history OF Otcro county. Crops
of all kinds have been exception
ally good. Owing to local and
other causes farm products have
brought good prices, therefore the
farmers are happy and will ex-
change the greetings OF the season
with glad hearts and real sincerity
The rapid advance in the prices OF
stock cattle during the fore part OF
the year gave the cattle industry
an impetus that causes every "cow
man" TO laugh with JOY, and while
this has been going on his next
ncighbor, the 'sheep man, IS foi-
lowing him close second, there
being at this whiting IS, 900 head
sheep and lambs fed for the spring
markets.
Horticultural interests have kept
pace with all others and the in
crease in the acreage OF orchard
planting has been something won
derful. While all this activity has
been going on in the rural districts
the urban centers have been hold
ing their own. The board OF
county commissioners have just
completed an elegant pressed brick
court house at La unta, while
some OF the most substantial bust
ness blocks that we have are now
being completed in various towns
in our county, thus showing that
the different business firms are
"strictly in it," Many dwellings
have been constructed in the differ
ent towns, thereby showing that
the residents thereof have conf
dence in the future OF their various
localities. There has been ex-
pended in the improvement and
enlargement OF various canals in
the county SIS, 900. The records
of the county recorders Office show
that all taxes have been paid up
exceptionally we'll. 1t lis estimated
that our population has increased
fully twenty per cent. Therefore,
as the people OF this county bid
the year 1897 adieu, they can truth
fully say, 1--WE bid thee reluctant
farewell; may thy successor treat
us as well as thou hast done.
