new line will follow the old survey.
The road is now into Colorado Springs.

only the Denver Post to rely upon, but
we eincerely hope that their "hunch" is

bushels, and sometimes 90 bushels to
the acre. Vegetables of every kind,
including potatoes, cabbage, turnips,
melons, cantaloupes, squashes, onions
and in fact every kind OF garden vegeta-
bles are produced in large quantities of
the finest quality. Alfalfa, the princi-
pal hay crop, produces from four TO
eight tons per acre, averaging about five
ions per acre, aud The average price Of ii
! in the stack after harvest is about IS 0O
per ton, making the crop Of an average
acre per seas5n worth about $500,
allowing $500 per acre for cutting, hsr-
vesting and stacking, leaving about
5000 per acre after net expenses for
Alfalfa.
Many people who are not familiar
with conditions in Sau Juan couuty, get
the idea that because San Juan county
has no railroad, and many OF
it's crops must be marketed at a
distance OF 40 TO 60 miles, that the
market price OF its products is very low.
These people reason from cause to effect
and from conditions in other localities
but they are far different here. San

As fruit country Ssu Juan County
has no equal in the great west, east Of
California, aud ours is better fruit
country than California, with the excep-
tion Of oranges, lemons and few other
fruits that we cannot raise.
Our public schools are the pride OF
our county and the inhabitants take
great interest in educational matters
adding higher branches of learning as
the country advances.
This article is intended to answer
certain letters of inquiry which have
been sent TO this paper touching on
these points, and these are facts that
have been fully demonstrated beyond
any question of doubt.

= late dispatch from the east says the
Japanese lana operations directed
agalast Port Arthur are meeting with
little success. Generals Stoesse and
Fock continue to make we'll directed
and desperate sorties against the ad-
vance of the Japanese, who are fighting
with a stubborn determination almost
unknown in history.
Several hundred men have been
killed in the last few days. Japanese re-
endorsements are arriving daily at Pit
sewo and Polandisn. A Russian torpe-
do flotila is cruising off Port Arthur
1t is the intention OF the Japanese TO
reduce the Russian fortress at all costs

on Liao Yang, where the Russian army
is concentrated.

We have received 80 many letters OF
inquiry concerning conditions and re-
sources Of this country by parties who
have asked for copies Of the paper that
only once in while we publish letter
to show the nature Of the inquiries and
to give short but concise answer to
the questione asked
A great many Of these letters express
much dissatisfaction at c0nditions in
localities where the writers reside, and
they indicate strong disposition or the
part of a great many people to change
locations and find new country. In
many localities these letters complain of
droughts, crop failures, late frosts that
destroy fruit, and in southern localities
that bowl weevil destroying the crops.
AS general answer to these inquiries
We publish the following conditions 10
