revel in riches and the soil will laugh at the harvest.
 What Has Been Done.
 Very little has yet been done to develop the resources of the valley Tn an agricultural way. M..lin the i'm mediate vicinity of Douglas a great many homesteads have been located, houses have been built and some water developed and trees have been planted and crops have been harvest ed. Everything that has been done only goes the farther to prove that the very limit of agricultural possibili- ties lie within our reach. 1t will take money, time and patience and industry to make this valley an agricultural oasis but time will find the men with the industry and the money and the harvest will follow
 Mir S. Powell, wlo lives just a few miles from the city limits, has two adjoining quarter sections of land upon which he is farming successful ly. He has planted trees of various kinds and all without exception have done well and some are now coming into bearing. He has corn and garden vegetables, watermelons and other things which look good to the way farer from the cast. He finds his water at 50 feet and lifts it with a wind mill and secures the best of re- suits. His corn this year is waist high and looks as healthy and black as if within the corn belt of the state of Iowa and yet he has not irrigated it at all He will turn the water on. however. within the next week or ten days. His melons and garden vege- tables promise now an abundant yield. Last year he marketed from his farm of produce raised more than $1,000.0O worth and this year will more than likely double that amount.
 J. A. Lewandowsky. the mining en- gineer and railroad promoter, is also to some extent a farmer and in this last avocation he takes the greatest pride His 160 acres lie five miles east of town and he has a place good to behold. The mesquite is cleared away and there are acres of fine grass from which an abundant crop wnl soon be harvested. He mas fine little nome, chicken house and stable, outbulIdings and pumping plant that is operated with a one horse power hot air machine. The garden and the lawn are well kept and green. There are hundreds of chickens, White Leg horns, in the chicken coral, laying eggs each day that are engaged the year around at three cents a piece. Cows and horses. stacks of hay and grain all give to the place the ideal air of country farm. Grapes are in bloom and the vines doing splendidly. Mir. Lewandowsky finds his water at 65 feet and gets an abundance. He has only had his place about three years. yet he has one of the loveliest I.-tIe farms in the valley which is not for sale at any price.
 Mir. LewandowsKy himself is deserv- ing of more than passing notice. A Polander by birth with a silver spoon in his mouth and Baronial estates in his possession. He studied mining Lost his estates and abandoned his title and travelled over the earth. He has worked as a min ing engineer in almost every country and has for a time stood beneath the flag of every civilization. He came at last to the United States with his mind made up to become a citizen of the great western republic. Landing from the steam boat he made his way to the court and within half an hour had taken out his first papers to be-
