He will learn OF the fruit growers
in the district how much each will

that there would be plenty of

Do. Springs Country.

Mr.. Hester. one of the new
settlers in the Box Springs Dis
trict, was in town Monday. He
says the people Of that community
are making q very decided success
Of farming this year. They have
a good ditch. and two 6ne rese-
voirs to draw from. and have had
plenty of water all summer. Every
available acre has been filed on.
The farmers own the ditch and
water supply in common. and are
prosperous and happy. They are
now working for a more direct
road into Sugar City. which is
their trading point. Mr.. Hester
was on his way to La Junta as a
special committee to "piead the
case before the county commits
sioners. The proposed road cuts
through portion OF the Patrick
pasture. aud consequently MIR.
