In the southern portion Of the state
OF Colorado. on a table land about T.
900 feet above the sea level. is sltuat-
ed the famous san Luis valley. the
home of the pea-fed lamb. says the
Shepherds Bulletin. This peculiar
mountain valley enjoys an equable
climate, a dry atmosphere and almost
perpetual sunshine. As very little
snow or rain falls. the practice OF ir-
rigation is universally adopted in the
cultivation of the land. The water is
taken from the Rio Grande river
through irrigation canals, from which
it is conveyed through bitches to the
various farms. From these bitches
several grooves or laterals are run
into each field and thus every portion
OF the ground is reached.
Farming is done on a grand scale
in the san Luis valley. Potatoes,
oats and wheat are raised in large
quantities. but at the present time
/ the pea eclipses in interest every other
/ crop grown there. The soil and eli
mate are peculiarly adapted to the
/ cultivation Of this legume and in this
respect the valley has no rival any
where in the World, nor is there any
| thing with which to compare It, The
method of cultivating the pea is sim
| plicity itself. The peas are drilled into
( the soil. which is afterwards irrigated
once or twice. The peas grow and
ripen without further care. The
lambs are turned in to do the har-
vesting and by the time they get
through they are ready for market
and command the highest prices.
While the pea industry in the San
Luis has assumed immense proper
tons during the past few years, 1t Is
expected that next winters operations
will greatly surpass those of former
years. Coming to figures, we find
that during the winter of 1sOl-O2

MASON AND DIXoN's LINE.
Old Landmark Published Up to Serve
for Future Years.

Mason and Dixon's line has been
reset in Pennsylvania and Maryland,
and with so much care and thorough
ness that it promises to require no
more attention for a very long period
of years.
It had been badly disarranged,
many of the marking stones and posts
having been carried away in the near
" 14O years since they were set by
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon
two eminent English mathematicians
and surveyors.
These gentlemen were employed to
mark out the disputed boundary line
between the state of Pennsylvania and
the states Of Maryland and Virginia.
They began in 1853 and concluded in
1857. having been interrupted when
within 36 miles of the whole distance
to be surveyed, by the hostile indians
The stones that marked the miles
we're brought from England, those at
each mile having the initial on one
side and 3 on the other, and the five
mile stones having the arms of Bal
timore on one side and those OF VIII
liam Penn on the other.
The term mason and DiXon's lne'
was used by John Randolph in the de-
hates on slavery. before the admission
of Missouri, as figurative of the d.
vision of the two systems of labor. II
became popular as a phrase to denote
the border lire between the free ano
slave states, and was used IN tha'
sense up to the civil war.-Bostor

WASHINGTON SCHOOL FUND.
Total State Apportionment for the
Quarter is S14O,9S1.25.

Walla Walla, Aug. 16.-State Audi
tor Clausen has announced that the
quarterly apportionment of state
school moneys is S140,9S1.25 as COM
pared with s3s7,775.9O for the same
quarter a year ago. The apportion-
ment by counties will be made in a
few days by the state superintendent.
a feature of this apportionment is
the showing that more than one-half
Of this sum is made up not by direct
taxes. The direct tax portion, being
the moneys collected by school levies,
aggregates but s192644.04, while the
current school fund represents inter-
est collected on bonds held by the
state permanent school fund, fines
and rentals from school land and in
terest from school land contracts.
The May apportionment this year
showed about 100000 from taxes and

COLORADO SHEEP FATTEN IN PEA F|ELDS

about 5000 lambs were fed on peas
I'm this region.
This was evidently an experiment
and that it was entirely successful Isl
proven by the fact that the next year
20 Gee fat lambs left the valley. Last
winter over 10000 lambs were fat
tened on peas and the pea feeders of
Colorado were the cynosures OF the
sheep world. other states began to
sit up and take notice. Were there
not in Idaho, Wyoming or Utah noun
tain valleys with similar climate to
that Of the san Luis? Could the pea
be grown without irrigation? Such
questions were heard on all sides and
we need not be surprised II some lone
~ Idaho vale suddenly springs into
fame as the rival Of the favored pea
valley Of Southern Colorado.
Many experiments are now being
made in some of the western states
with a view of discovering whether
the pea cannot be successfully raised
in valleys having similar climatic con-
ditions to those prevailing in the san
Luis valley and the results 10 uate
indicate that where there is sufficient
moisture. either from natural rainfall
or irrigation. the pea can be culu-
waited with success. As water enters
very largely into the composition OF
the pea and as its roots do not pene-
trate to a great depth, it is essential
that great deal of surface moisture
exist A dry season during the feed
ing time is another essential to the
success of the pea as feed for lambs.
New Mexico has been the chiet
source of supply for the san Luis
feed lots, but last years poor crop OF
lambs sent the feeders north and
west and they were so well pleased
with the wyoming and Idaho lambs
that they will look northwestward
again this season. 1t is more than
probable. however. that the Mexican
! will be the prime favorite on the pea
fields this winter.

INDIANS DISSATISFIED.
Columbia and Snake River Tribes ASK
for Investigation.

l.. l.. Taggart. special Indian agent,
has been in the city for several days
investigating the records in the Unit
ed States land office in reference to
the homesteads of a number of In
dians i'm the Palouse country who
claim their rights and lands are being
interfered with by white settlers, says
the Walla Walla Union.
The Indians have been coming up
to the land office and making their
complaints to the officials, and it was
at the urgent request Of Register Mo-
houndro that the department sent
Special Agent Taggart to investigate
and advise with the Indians.
The Indians in question are those
Of small renegade bands who have
never chosen to reside on a reserva-
ton and have instead taken home
steads along the Columbia and Snake
rivers.
Some of them have proved up on
their lands, while others have not and
none of them really know the bound
aries of their lands. BY reason OF
their holdings they are inclined to
think that the white people are en-
croaching upon them as the country
settles up.
Mr.. Taggart will secure the services
of a surveyor and will go to the mouth
of the Palouse river and later to Fish
Hook Bend on the Columbia, where he
will have the exact lines of each of
the homesteads pointed out to the In
dians and advise them as to the rights
of themselves and their white neigh
bors.
Those of the Indians who have fall
ed to take homesteads. or by reason
of failure to comply with the land
laws have forfeited their claims, will
be advised to take homesteads in
other places and secure title to them
as soon as possible.
Special Agent Taggart has just re-
turned from Klickitat county, where
he assisted some. Indians In establish
ing their claims to certain fishing
rights along the Columbia, that had
been interfered with by white men.
