Rocky Ford enterprise., 1900-02-01


Only twenty years ago, says the Dem
yer Republican, the Arkansas valley had
no irrigation bitches and it was popular
ly supposed that the soil was too sandy
to hold irrigation water. Now that val
ley is n well populated agricultural re-
gion, producing crops that yield n large
money value per acre. Intensive farm
ing" by which the maximum labor is put
upon an acre and the maximum yield is
extorted from it, is destined to be the
agricultural watchword throughout the
irrigated area. Every five acres will
support family in a handsome cottage
home and the streets OF this farming
city will be as long as rivers. In fruit,
in vegetables and in sugar beets five
acres will furnish one man with all the
work he wants. This limit of the work,
that the head OF the family can conven-
,iently perform, must measure approxi-
mately the size OF the irrigated farm in
the future. AS five acres is about the
size of city block it can readily be seen
that the irrigated lands will really all be
covered by what is practically city sub
urbs. All the advantages of city life will
be combined, for the sturdy workers,
with the charms of country home
Daily fres mail deliveries, telephones,
good roads. bicycles and automobiles
will SO revolntionize the lives OF these
farmers of the future that the hardships
OF farm life as we have known il will
have completely disappeared.

secretary.
Mr.. Ebbert in his opening address
talked on
The Rewards Of the Farmer.
The farmer needs to be nm all round
man. The wider his knowledge and
capability extend. the better his chances
Of success. II il the farmer who should
know the soil and the weather rs no one
else knows them, he should know some
thing of carpentry and ironwork. some
thing Of trade and invention. The farm.
er needs to know good deal, and to
know something next year that he did
not know this year. The man in the
mechanical trades and occupations is
being made more and more a machine
capable Of doing one thing only, and
this must inevitably have narrowing
aud bunting effect on character. One
OF the rewards OF the farmers life is the
variety that may be introduced into his
occupation. Again the farmer has an
advantage over the artizun and the
dweller in cities generally in the matter
oughfares OF the city that debility and
disense worked its worst ravnges. It is
one OF the rewards Of the farmer that he
has breathing room and favorable hygenic
conditions. 1t was said that the formers
work was hard work, continuous work
But work is of God, labor is honorable
and the best men in public life and in
the marts OF trade were those who were
reared to hard labor on the farm. The
farmers labor has always been honored.
They feed and clothe the world. and
produce tho men on which the stability
of society depends. Let the farmers OF
the world stop their work and the
wealth of Rothschild will soon be hand
ed over for peck OF meal.

Webster City, June 11.-One of the
strangest cases of disappearance that
has ever occurred i'll this vicinity took
place last week. Some time during
Thursday night ex-Sheriff w. w. Sin
clair arose and putting on his best suit
took his departure. Mrs Sinclair did
not miss him until o'clock in the
morning, when she awoke and found
the door open. She kept the matter a
secret until Saturday in the hope that
her husband would return. But on Sat
urday she asked the assistance of
friends, and altho diligent search has
been made, no clue as to the where
abouts of the missing man has been
found. On the first OF the present year
MIR. Sinclair retired from the office of
sheriff of Hamilton county, which Of
flee he had held for two terms. In this
capacity he had given splendid salts
faction and on retiring bore the repu-
tation of being one of the best officials
that ever held office in the county. So
far as is known his home life was per-
fectly happy. He was tender and de-
voted to his Wife. and she is terribly
depressed over his strange action. As
is usual in such cases there are many
stories atloat, but they all SAVIOR OF
scandal rather than truth.

BIG ESTATE INVOLVED.

600 Property.

900 Property.
Des Moines, June ,9-Suit was COM
menced Friday by the widow and chill
ldren of Abner E. Clements, deceased.
late a wealthy farmer Of Webster town
ship, to set aside trust deed which was
made by him of all of his property to
p. j. Cooper, the real estate man. The
deed was made in trust for the wife and
children of the deceased, and they now
come into court with the claim that
Cooper induced him to make the trust
deed in place of making a will. which
had been his real intention. 1t is alleged
that at the time of making the trust
deed Clements was i'll and in bed, and
that his mind was not in such condi-
tion as to enable him to understand
thoroughly what he was doing The
trust deed involves very large amount
of Polk county property, alleged to be
worth over $780, 900, and conveys it all in
trust to Cooper for the benefit Of the
widow of the deceasd until her death,
and then in trust for the children. The
title Of the suit is Josephine Francis Gle
ments ct al vs. Grace "A. Cooper, Mrs.
Anna G. Guernsy and Eustace b. Coop
er. The petition filed AYERS that the deed
was made in September. 1892 and that
Mr.. Clements died at a later date. 1t is
alleged that he was of failing health for
a long time previously, and that at the
time that he made the deed he was in
bed. 1t is claimed that he was engaged
for long time With Mr.. Cooper in ar
ranging for the division of his property,
and that it was his intention to make a
VIII, but that he was induced by Mr..
Cooper to make a trust deed. 1t is
claimed that the discussions between the
two relative to the matter took place
behind closed doors and apart from all
members of the family, and that Mr..
Clements objected strenuously for along
time before he finally made the deed.
Mrs. Clements alleges that she was in
the habit of signing all papers that re-
qu1red her signature without investiga-
ton. but that when she was called in to
sign the trust deed that she had asked
Mr. Cooper what it was, and that he
had assured her that Mr. Clements was
making a division of his property
I3among his children.

New Kind OF Mulct saloon.

.Belmond. June 1l.-This city is ex-.
perimenting with mulct saloon which
has been in operation on Main street for
the past two months. 1t has contributed
500 monthly to the city treasury, which
money has been expended in the i'm
provement OF sidewalks. The saloon is
unique owing to the fact that it CELLS
beer only. no liquor selling being per-
mitted. 1t is argued that beer will be
sold here whether legally or otherwise.
and the supporters Of the saloon claim
that the city might as we'll derive some
revenue and legalize the traffic It has
been fifteen years since genuine saloon
existed in Belmond.

The PRICES ARE HIGH.
Board of Control Unable to Got Bids
Within ApprOpriatiOn.

SS1Su1n tAVpTOpTAdSAOns
Deg Moines, June 9.-The state board
of control is making the discovery that
prices are high this year. The same
discovery has been made by other peo-
pie. 1t is said by contractors that build
ing operations in progress or in con-
temptation in Iowa will not begin TO de-
velop the proportions which they would
naturally develop this year, because Of
the high prices which prevail on build
ing material. The legislature appropri-
ated with unusual liberality for the inn
provements which have to be made at
the state institutions, but the board of
CONTROLS finding that it is likely to be
difficult, if not Impossible, to make the
amounts at its command meet the de-
mands. Speaking of the matter yes
terday Judge Robinson OF the board
said:
We find that with prices where they
nov are it is going to require the clos
est figuring to make our appropria-
|tions cover the improvements for which
they were made. AT Clarinda, for in
stance, it was found that the work must
be figured with the greatest care or we
would not be able to pay for it. The
prices of lumber are not SO high as of
some other materials that enter into
buildings. Iron products are very high,
altho nails have recently gone down
somewhat. But all such materials are
still very high, and plumbing materials
cost two or three times as much as they
ought to.
When the board received bids on the
| improvements to be made at Clarinda
| it vac found that the money would not
cover the expense of doing the work in
accordance With the architects esti-
mates. There was serious question
what ought to be done, and the con-
clusion was that the specifications must
be altered. This was done. and the
work will be different in several ways
lfrom that originally Intended; but by
this method, and by close figuring, ii
was found possible to get the work in
side of the appropriations. Now comes
the case of the Glenwood improves
ments. The plans and specifications for
the work there have been completed and
the amounts at command of the board
lars as follows:
For new hospital 49,. ......@.. !. S35, OOt
For cottage hospital 6O0(
For cold storage plant ............ 9,0Ot
For fire station and equipment !. 5000
The board will receive bids on the
work June q, and will let the contract.
1 the last of June or early in July, pro.
vided there is enough money to pay the
4 bills"
