the most attractive irrigation
schemes is just now being completed

OF Mig Bend. From the looks Of the
landscape people believe that there
was plenty Of water all over this
region nj one time and that for some
reason or another It dried up and
ran away. There are frequent evil
dences Of larEe lakes that have gone
dry in past centuries. one OF them,
known as the Cheyenne bottoms, is
found near the town OF Iioslngton,
about II miles long, miles wide and
about 40 feet below the level Of the
surrounding country. The soil is too
heavy for cultivation, but by n Gu

irrigation purposes.

coursing association would hold an

chase hounds up and down the bot

handsome clubhouse was built on
the edge and all the appurtenances
OF pleasure and comfort were intro

clouds came rolling up from the
northwest. and when they burst
