Talk of the Times.

We have seen lately scheme advanced
that we believe worthy OF consideration.
1t refers to taxes or assessments. The
idea advanced is that the board OF coun-
ty commissioners publish the list Of as
sessments OF each town and township,
giving the name OF the individual and
the amount of property given in by him
to the assessor. We believe the PROPOSE
ton is worthy of consideration. II is
claimed that where it has been tried it
works remarkably well and we have no
doubt that il tried in Elbert county it
would add fifty per cent to the assess
ment figures. Many persons-and it Is
generally those who are well able to pay
taxes on all their taxable property, make
a practice Of withholding big per cent
of their property when the assessor calls
on them. III the lists were published
each year these persons would not dare
to do this. We respectfully refer this
to the board of county commissioners.

ARKANSAS VALLEY LANDS
Near Holly, Colo.-The Farm Of
the Future

Is the one which owes its origin, its
maintenance, its all to irrigation. These
lands, watered as they are from the Am
ity Canal, that taps the Arkansas river
at point just north Of Prowers county
line and throughout its entire length OF
over 100 miles is constructed without
single fume. Thus it is proof against
floods or freshets and loss by washouts,
which so often happens in cheaply- built
canals and at times when the loss OF
water for few days means the loss OF
crops. These lands are not entirely de-
pendent for their supply OF water upon
the Arkansas river. There are few
weeks in the year in spring and fall when
the river has not its normal head Of
water. This happens to be at time
when the farmer needs an abundance Of
water. Immense reservoirs, the largest
on this continent, have been constructed
as an additional resource and proof
against possible drought. The company
canal to the farmer without expense to
them and turns them over to the farm
ers, who only have to construct their
small laterals to their own land and man
age and control them to their own ad-
vantage.
These lands are offered for sale at pri-
ces and terms that will interest anyone
wanting home for himself and family,
or as an investment. Quite number Of
purchasers have paid for their. land from
their crops in single year. These lands
can be bought now for $40 to $50 per
acre with both water rights-the Amity
Canal and the Reservoir water rights.
Ten per cent of the purchase price cash;
the balance in seven equal annual pay
ments at per cent interest. The lands
are Of rich sandy loan, generally level.
For full information as to these lands
and for railway transportation to see
them, write or call on Schenk & Pope,
