Last week just as we we're going to
press we learned that the cou rty clerk
had received CHECK from the treas
urer OF the Santa F'e road for $4iOO in
payment for the SS8, 900 stock in the
Hutchinson cut OFF owned by this
county. While the res.eipt of this
amount was entirely unexpected. as
everyone supposed the whole amotirit
was n loss, we shoufd take steps to-
ascertain if under the settlement that
has been made in reOrganiziny the
road we have received all we are en-
titled to. In order to- do this our
county commissioners and county
clerk should ascerta ain if the utheI
counties interested have received the
same amount in proportion to their
stock. A little correspondence would
settle this question. 1t will be reme1p2
bered that some tears ago when Mr..
McCanse was county attorney he en-
Joined the issuing Of these bonds and
took the matter i: to court. On retir-
ing from office he turned the ma tte.
over to his successor and the whole
thing was dropped. He says these
bonds should never have been issued
as they were illegal. We accepted
the stock in lieu of the bonds. how
ever. and the question OF legality
should not be again raised but it is
entirely right and proper to bring up
the question OF the amount Chis county
Is entitled to in the final settlement
and our county clerk should attend to
This and have the matter in shape to
present to the commissioners when
hey are again in session.

A New Road Scheme.

The recent rains have proved be
yopd doubt that oiled roads in this
section of southern California are a
success.
Early in the spring the County
Fathers devoted considerable time
and study to the question of oiled
roads, which resulted in the determi-
nation to make thorough test of it
on the highways of the county. The
road selected for the test was that
leading east from Ventura, known as
the "Thompson's Avenue Road"
This piece of road, as everyone
knows, is about the hardest in the
county to keep up, being an alternate
of adobe and sandy soil, and it's So.
lection was to make the test thor
ough. The work of oiling was placed
under the supervision Of Supervisor
Gabbert.
The first application was made
sometime in June, followed by anoth-
er some weeks later; but for some
reason the oil did not penetrate the
soil as readily as was expected, and
for a time it looked as though the
process would not work here, and
Supervisor Gabbert was the center Of
much talk, good, bad and Indifferent.
But Gabbert kept saving wood and
oillng and grading the road. Mean
while people-despite posted notices
to the contrary-kept driving over
the smoothly surfaced bed, till the
Supervisor waxed warm and fenced
it in, and he didn't remove that fence
until he had that road oiled and
graded to his satisfaction.
And now, after two months trav
ell and two good rains have fallen
upon it, it is one Of the finest thor
oughfares to be found in Ventura
county.
A drive over this piece of road is
pleasure to man and blessing to
horsefesh. (Cal.) Courier.

Land and Water,

The next important annual report
OF federal official made public is
that of Secretary Wilson, and no
other bears so directly upon the af-
fairs of the great west. A too brief
sketch Of it is published in the tele.
graphic report this morning. A
number of strong recommendations
made by the secretary are quite radi-
cal and a departure from arrange
ments now existing as to land, irri-
CATION and agriculture. The entire
report shows the marks of original
treatment on every subject, of earn
est thought, practical investigation,
and capacity to carry on the contin-
ually increasing work and response
bility of the great department of
agriculture.
Among the secretary's recommend
ations is that the homesteader be re.
quired not only to live on but to
cultivate the land he takes up. This
would make something of a puzzle
for the adventures squatters who are
acquiring possession of lands which
can not be irrigated at present, but
which they hope to irrigate and then
cultiyate at some indefinite time in
the future. Secretary Wilson says
that the desert land act is a humbug

lies using all they wanted all sum-
mer. The tomatoes were mainly sold
to the stores, only few direct to
families, and few to the factory.
Mr.. Richardson kept very careful
and accurate account of the receipts
and these figures can be depended on
as absolutely accurate. The crop
was grown on new ground. Gross
returns of $5S4.25 per acre show the
gardening capacities of Rocky Ford
soil under favorable conditions.-En-

Farce Comedy Of Today.

With the advent of the vaudeville
theatre came complete change in
farce comedy productions and the
change has become so marked that
the average farce is only a step be
hind the operate and extravaganza
productions which always delight the
eye and ear as dazzling costumes and
beautiful scenery form an important
factor in the up-to date play, taking
the place of inferior vaudeville turns
which in former years constituted
the major part of these entertain
ments. Wood and Ward, who with
their big company present the "Two

TOMATOES vs.. SUGAR BETS

Our agricultural friend, 9. p. Rich
ardson, is determined that the sugar
beet shall not have all the glory of
big returns for Rocky Ford farmers.
He thinks the tomato is entitled to
rank alongside the sugar beet for
money profits per acre. This seasor,
from one fifth Of an acre he raised
and sold $114.S5 worth OF Living
ston Beauty tomatoes, besides can
ming eight dozen cans and two fami-
The Lamar register., 1901-12-04

and he recommends its entire repeal.
Also that non irrigable grazing lands
be leased only in small tracts so as to
unite the irrigable and pasture lands,
and in such ways as to give the home
steader rather than the cattle men
the advantage.
The secretary expresses the belief
that irrigation will in the near future
become subject for legislation by
Congress, there being important rea-
sons why it should have the atten:
ton of that body. Any appropria-
ton of money by Congress to con-
struct irrigation works will bring the
country face to face with new gov
ernment policy. Mr.. Wilson does
not say directly whether he is in
favor of it, but he says indirectly
that he is, for one Of his recommend
ations is, "that reservoirs located in
the channels of running streams
should be public works."
Not only the Interior department,
whose report was sketched yesterday
morning, but the Agricultural depart
ment is looking after the forests.
Secretary Wilson says his bureau -is
CO. operating with the federal govern
ment, with the several states and
many private owners in handling the
forest lands. Altogether assistance
has been asked for a total area of
$4,000, 900 acres of which 100000
are held by private owners.
1t is fortunate for the west that the
agricultural department is in such
good hands, and, while some people
object to "paternal government" j"
the farming interests all the same
are annually benefited to the extent
of millions of dollars from the work
of this great department. 1t will be
noted that the brief sketch of the re
port does not go into details concern
ing the enormous labor and great
scientific achievements in the expert
ment stations. hese alone would
furnish material for a very lengthy
report, but they give out their own
reports from week to week, and the
individual who undertakes to carry
on extensive agriculture of any kind
without keeping in touch with these
reports is far behind the times. He
misses benefits he could easily derive
from Investigations which cost the
government large sums of money and
which enlist the best scientific abili
ties in the country.-Pueblo Chief
