Br4iA Food Nonsense.

will not only nourish particular

every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri~

Fix 1t Now.

1t is we'll understood by all who
know of the condition of the banks
of the La lara stream at point south
of Capulin where the Arroyo breaks
from the La Jara, that the town of
La lara and the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad track are in danger of being
inundated every time there is a
freshet. During high water the
waters from the Alamosa and La
lara combine by breaking the dam
where the Arroyo crosses the La lara
and all the water rushes down the
Arroyo, overlooking its banks and
sweeping over the railroad tracks and
through the streets of the town of
La Jara. Damage to the amount of
hundreds of dollars was sustained this
past season by both railroad and town
and there is no telling what may hap
pen next year. To let this matter
pass when only a small amount OF
money would insure perfect security
from this source is criminal neglect.
Tie farmers on the La lara have been
putting in dams at the point men,
toned for the past fifteen or twenty
years, only to see them swept away
each succeeding year. AT a cost not
to exceed $500, dam could be placed
at this point that would be permanent
All that is necessary to raise this
amount is to call the attention of the
proper authorities of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Co. who will
gladly join in putting in dam thai
will insure us immunity from this an
nual source of trouble and expense
Do it now.

Live Stock Market Report.

Special 10 La Jara CHRONICLE.
Kansas City, Nov. %, 1904,-The
market for the week is about steady
on all kinds except she stuff of all
descriptions. Corn fed cattle have
been scarce, and the quality only
medium. Top price for the week
1886, but anything choice would
have brought 1925 or more easily,
as there were urgent orders held here
Tuesday and Wednesday for choice
export cattle. None were to be had,
however, and the best quality of steers
would have made gain of 10 to 20
cents this week, if any of that kind
were coming now. Most of the corn
fed steers sell at $3.50 to S5.25.
Grass steers held up nearly steady, at
$500 to $4.75, but there was some
signs of weakness on these, which
will become q positive decline in the
near future when cattle begin to go
back little in flesh. There was
severe break of 10 to 90 cents on COWS
aud heifers Monday and Tuesday, but
steady since. Grass stuff sells at
1926 to Ss.75. Gamers lost about
as much as COWS. Some choice corn
fed heifers sold at $500 Tuesday, and
other sales were at $4.25 to $3.50.
Veals turned out to be fine all week,
at $500 to 5000. There has been
very good demand for stockers and
feeders last two weeks, but the market
lost about 10 cents Tuesday and
Wednesday. Most sales of feeders
are at $500 to 1915, stockers S2.75
to 1915.
Packers have been unable TO con-
ceal their anxiety for hogs from even
the least watchful, so hog markets
have closed strong every day this
week, aud the week closes without
any net loss. Top heavy hogs sell at
9t.oo, anu Tue Dulh OF oil SAFES is
from $3.50 to S4.75. These prices
are 5 to Is above those ruling at
other markets, condition which has
remained in force for the past four
weeks.
Mutton prices are Is to % cents
higher than last week. Top lambs
this week sold at Sc 90, wethers at
$500, ewes $3.50, and fed western
yearlings at S5.25, all top notcEss
for this season. Colorado grass year
lings sold at $500 yesterday and
Utah grass lambs, 75lb at $3.50
Tuesday. Prices have advanced on
thin sheep, and wethers and yearlings
now bring 1915 to S415, lambs
$4.22 to S4.75.

The San Luis Valley.

Colorado has attracted the at
tention of the United States through
its matchless exhibit of mining and
agricultural products at tue World s
Fair. Immigration bureaus have be-
come aware of the wonderful posi-
bilities of the state and are extern
sively advertising different sections.
We have on our desk copy of
"The New Southwest" an excellent
magazine published by the Missouri
Pacific Immigration bureau, at st.
Louis, in which considerable space is
devoted to the San Luis Valley, its
agriculture and its nearby min
ing properties. All that is said can
be verified as the soundest truth.
One of the greatest agricultural
countries in the world awaits only
the construction of storage reser-
voirs to insure its success. Plans
have already been perfected for u
number of these reservoirs and
the future of the San Luis valley
looks bright as upon the threshold Of
new era.
The New Southwest says:
The picturesque and prosperous
San Luis Valley is huge lakeland
located in the midst of the Rocky
Mountains, Colorado, about 200 miles
southwest of Denver, and about 100
miles southwest of Pueblo. 1t is in
the form of a regular parallelogram,
whose northern angle reaches to Mar
shall Pass, whose western angle is at
Creede, and whose base is the New
Mexido line. 1t is 100 miles from
north to south, has an average width
of SO miles, and contains upwards of
5000 So. miles of as rich agricultural
land as the sun ever shown upon. 1t is
traversed north, south, east and west
by the Denver & Rio Grande railway,
and its principal towns are Monte
Vista, Alamosa, Creede, Del Norte,
La lara, Romeo, Antonito. The av-
erage elevation of the valley is T.
500 feet yet the climate is most de-
lightful summer and winter. The
mountains round about afford an
abundant supply of living water, and
the seasons are of sufficient length to
insure the maturity of every variety
of fruit and grain. In word, it is
an ideal home for the farmer, the
stockman, the dairyman and the mer-
chant, and the entire valley will
in the near future become the Eden
of the Rockies.-Monte Vista Journal.
