FROM PAUPERDOM TO A PARADISE

at once offered themselves. But there was
room for only thirty families. These were
carefully selected for hardihood and moral
character.
10 each man selected 20-acre farm was
allotted. He was loaned money to take
himself and family to the colony. Men.
women and children to the number of
100 were Immediately put to work con
structing irrigation bitches, roads, fences
and buildings.
The army paid them at the prevailing
rate OF that section, 50 day Half went
to men 30 live on; the other half was nut
down to each mans credit to apply on his
debt. Additional loans were made for
building homes. buying animals and seed
AT the end of the first season, when the
crops were gotten in, the colonists began
to have ready money of their own.
Altogether it had cost the army about
$500 to start each family. The purchase
price of each mans land was also charged
against him. All was to be repaid in IN
stallments, with per cent. interest.
On April q, 1902, the first colonist dis
charged his entire indebtedness to the
army. He had arrived at Amity in March,
1899. He now owns 20 acres, free of in

at Amity now, depot, creamery, stores,
blacksmith shop aud newspaper, all
conducted by oolonists, especially adapted
for them and backed, like the farmers, by
the army.
A handsome orphanage has been built
at cost of 25,00O, capable Of aecommo-
dating more than 100 children. City or
phans are there trained in agriculture and
they win ultimately become homeowners
and colonists.
The sum of $l65,00O has been expended
on this colony, including $4,000 for land,
$4,000 for cottages, barns and outhouses,
800, 900 for irrigation works, roads, fences
and general improvements, and Sll 900 for
colonists' equipments, live stock, imple-
ments, travelling etc.
The colonists have already paid about
$50, 900 Of the money advanced them, while
their land is greatly increasing in value.
1t is estimated that each of the 20-acre
farms is now worth from 1000 to 5000.
The Rocky Ford canteloupe and the
Colorado sugar beet have been the instru-
ments of much of this prosperity Amity
claims to beat even Rocky Ford itself in
its canteloupes
In all this not one penny has been given
in charity in this colony. All has been,
or will be, repaid, and if through misfor-
tune or dissatisfaction, any holding should
revert to the army its increased value
would amply repay them. The most in
teresting feature abont this undertaking
is that the loss of selfrespect so often re

Millions of acres of rich land are being

Millions of dollars are spent annually

RIFLE RANCE
IS NOW READY

The new rifle and skirmish range, which
is being constructed under the supervision
of Capt. F. G. Lawton, in command of
Company M, Nineteenth infantry, at
American lake, is expected to be complet-
ed tomorrow and ready for target practice.
The range is located about two miles from
American lake in the direction of Hill
hurst. This work has been the special
mission at American lake of the soldiers
from Fort Lawton, and throughout the re-
mainder of the spring, summer and fall
different companies of the United States
army will be posted at the lake continu-
ously, taking their turns at target prac-
tice. D.,
The range will also be brought into re-
QUESTION during the grand encampment Of
the soldiers of the army and the National
Guards Of Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
taking place during the month of July.
When completed the new range will ac-
commodate eight rectangular targets. The
target butt will be 100 feet in length,
from target to target, and the extreme
firing range will be 1000 yards. The Skin
mish range will be over 900 yards, and
both ranges are 50 placed that firing at
each can be carried on simultaneously.

deep and the embankment is four feet
high, making the protection for the man
in the pit eight feet high. The first con
dition demanded in the construction OF
these ranges is the security of those la
boring or passing near the targets. The
new range is so constructed as to render
the construction of a butt unnecessary.
Back of the butt is more unoccupied coun-
try than the army regulations prescribe,
and there is no country road. A path now

WHISKEY WAS
RESPONSIBLE

SEATTLE, May SIS. B. Claypool, form
erly manager of the Independent Tele-
phone company, committed suicide yester-
day in his room at the Hotel Northern by
sending bullet through his brain. The
only motives that can be ascribed for his
awful deed are financial troubles and the
loss of his position with the telephone
company.
So far as known no one heard the shot
but when the body was discovered by EN-
ployes of the hotel about o'clock in the
afternoon, it was cold, and it is surmised
that the man shot himself about noon.
Claypool was employed by the tele-
phone company about two years but was
let out about six months ago. Since that
time he has not been working. Whisky
was the cause of his downfall He leaves
