THE SANTA re Rourl:.

The Santa Fe Route. the Greatest
railroad in the world for helping to
build up the territory 1t teaches
passes through the center of fhe Ar
kansas valley. We are located on the
main line Of this road between Den
yer, California and all points ehst and
south. affording our farmers facilities
for reaching the best markets. OF the
United States. The liberal policy pur-
sued by this road in years last to-
wards the growers and shippe4s along
Its line, is sufficient guaranty to us
that We have decided advantages In
this particular over almost amy other
portion OF the West

PRICE OF LAND.

Land in the immediate vicinity of
the towns are now selling for $75 to
800 per acre. Lands Just as good but
further out are selling for $40 to SIS
per acre, including improvements:
this is for the land and water right.
Lands can be bought for a small cash
payment down and deferred payments
running over seven years bearing in
terest. in most cases not over six per
cent. Lands can be rented on good
terms for growing beets, alfalfa, truck
and general farming.
In conclusion We will say that there
are thousands of farmers ip the mid
die states who could come to Colorado
and make dollars where they are.now
making cents. This is no boom coun-
try and we do not have to exaggerate
the facts to prove that the Arkansas
valley soil is the greatest wealth pro-
ducing soil on earth. II man wants
to Go ordinary farming such as Is done
In Illinois or Indiana, he could do that
II he wants to raise sheep he can util-
ize the public range in connection with
his home ranch, and will make money.
If he wants to grow beets, he can make
more clear money from ten acres than
he can from the richest eighty acres
of Illinois soil. Ii he wants to raise
melons and vegetables. ten or twenty
acres is all he needs to clear several
hundred dollars per acre. If he wants
to raise bees. there's no better spot
in the world to do 1t and the profits
are large. If there is man who
works by the day and wants to change
his Location, there is not a better state
in the Union than Colorado. All COM
mon day laborers in Holly receive
$1.75 per day. This answer to many
inquiries about the country is the facts
as they exist. They have not been
cclored in order to induce people to
come here, for that never pays. There
is room for thousands of new people
in the Arkansas valley to help develop
its vast resources. and we firmly be.
lieve that every man who comes here
and gives his best efforts to his work
will succeed far beyond his expecta-
tions. He may not get rich at once,
or at ali. but he will prosper.

 ONLY SAFEGUARD
ONE OF THE AFFLICTED TELLS HOW THEY RESTORED THE USE OF PAIL SEED FINGERS.

Too steady use of particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling. cramps and even paralysis. Writers, StenOgrapherS, telegraphers, tailors and seamStresseS are among the classes most threatened in this way with the less of their power to earn a living.
 The only safeguard is to keep up the supply of nerve force through the blood, which carries to the nerves the food that supports their strength. The following instance shows that nerve entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs o. S. Blacksten,of No. 5S4 North Bowman street, Mansfield, Ohio, says:
 "For years my hands would become so numb at times that 1 would drop anything l attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that l could not sew any longer. As soon as l put on my thimble pricking sensation would begin in my finger tips and run up to my shoulders. got so at last that l could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. ,.
