AS a rubber-producing state
Colorado is making a bid for the
attention of the world. Within
the last few months experiments
with a certain species of sage
brush that grows wild over an
immense mountainous area of
the Rocky mountain common
wealth have proved that rubber
Of fine quality can be produced
from the shrub. Several com
panies have been organized for
the purpose of developing the
new industry, and the hitherto
despised weed will now be turn
ed to practical use. Special ma,
chinery has been invented for
the manufacture of the rubber,
the construction of which will
form still another industry for
Colorado.

ownership by the few must of

Complaints have been received
by the director of the Geological
Survey that illegal sale of liquor
on lands withdrawn for various
irrigation projects is seriously
interfering with the work thro-
ughout the West. The Secre-
tary of the Interior recently is
sued a circular warning settlers
who permitted the sale of liquor
on their HOMESTEAD filings that
they would lose their land. 1t is

How Does 1t Seem to You,

1t seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, nor
whistles blow,
Nor clocks don't strike nor gongs
don't sound,
And I'd have stiffness all
around
Not real still stiffness, but just
the trees
Low whisperings or the hum of
bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over
stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe cricket or katydid,
Or the songs of birds in the
hedges hid,
Or just some sweet sounds as
these
To fill tired heart with ease.
If weren't for sight and sound
and smell
I'd like city pretty well;
But when it comes to getting
rest,
I like the country lots the best.
Some times it seems to me |
must
Just quit the city's din and dust,
And get out where the sky is
blue
And, say, how does it seem to
you? Eugene Field.

Making Living ON An Acre of
Ground.

Some time since there was pub
lished in the Talisman, a Chi
cago periodical devoted to the
subject of irrigation, an account
of the experience of Samuel
Cheeks, of Orland, Glenn county,
California, who lived on single
acre of land for thirty years and
not only made a comfortable fv
ing for himself and wife from
that one irrigated acre, but was
able to save an average of four
hundred dollars year beside.
Now comes the story of Penn
sylvania man, who will try the
experiment of making O. living
on a one-acre farm in Colorado,
and he thinks he can not only
support his family of three, but
also start a bank account as the
result of intensive farming on
one irrigated acre.
Anthony P, Canny of Potts
vile, Pa, went to Colorado for
his health. He had but little
money. His physicians warned
him against attempting to do
manual labor, and advised him
to purchase just as little land as
he could possibly produce liv-
ing from, until his out.of- door
life and the invigorating climate
gave him strength to work a
larger farm. Mr.. Canny had
read of the experience of Mr..
Checks in California and he at
once announced his intention to
toy the Californian's plan in
Colorado. He will utilize every
foot of his acre farm, and will
experiment largely with valuable
plants and flowers, rather than
with vegetables, relying on the
latter only to supply his table
with necessities. He promises
to add his one acre tract to the
famous spots in Colorado.
California and Colorado are not
the only places in the United
States in which d man can earn
a livelihood on one acre of ground,
by intensive culture and irriga-
ton. The eastern and middle
states can present just as good,
if not better opportunities for in

Irrigation is full of wonderful

America. Irrigation is doing it,

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
A study of the plants of the
Arizona desert has been under
taken by the Carnegie Institu-
ton. A garden for this purpose
has been established near Tue
son and experts are studying the
flora of the region, especially
the cacti. Efforts will be made
to cultivate spineless forms that
may be used as stock food, and
hardy, deep-rooted sorts to hold
the drifting sands.
The statement has been made
that when all the national irriga
ton projects are worked out
Montana will have more land
under government irrigation
than any other state in the Union.
The plans of the government
contemplate the reclamation of
between 5000, 900 and 5000, 900
acres of land in that state. At
present the total amount of ir
rigated land in Montana is about
100000 acres.
The work of retaining the
semi-arid West is being pushed
with remarkable rapidity. The
national reclamation act has done

land than anything else that
Congress has ever done. There
is scarcely a stream this side of
the Rocky mountains that hasn't
been surveyed with the idea of
diverting it's water to good and

MANY ARE DISAPPOINTED
The Ezra Kendall Company Did
Not Come Up to Ex-

The Ezra Kendall Company which
was to have appeared at the Colonial
Theatre Saturday night in Weather
Beaten Benson, was great disap.
pointment to Mr.. Kendall and his com
pany, who reached here Saturday
morning. After the arrival of the
company Mr.. Kendall inquired into
the sale of seats, which was not very
encouraging, and notified Manager
Hollbeaugh that he would cancel his
engagement here, and left Annapolis
with his company in the evening.
A report was current that the cause
was due to not getting accommoda-
hons for the company in Annapolis,
which has been denied by Manager
Hollebaugh, who states that he has ac-
commodatioDs arranged for all compa-
nies that appear here to the number
of seventy five people, but the real
cause was the lack Of patronage shown
Mr.. Kendall in the purchase Of seats.
