The Oil Well.

Contractor Davidson. who is digging
the we'll for oil in the city said today
he had reached a depth of 1850 feet
The drill is at present in sand and
lime rock and has been for several
days. Mr.. Davidson says that he Is at
present short of hands and that not
much progress has been made since
Sunday. but that work began this
morning with new hands and energy
In speaking Of the prospect for oil
in the next three hundred and fifty
feet which will end the contract, Mr..
Davidson said that the indications
were good but that he did not care to
give out a statement. when the un-
certainty was so great. II is thought
that should oil be found when the
depth for which the contract was is
sued has been reached, the company
will vote more money for tho continu-
ance NJ the we'll. as II is said by eX-
perts that the spot selected for the
digging of the weu, is a very favorable
one and that II oil is around Ardmore
It. il around the tract VI land which
the company owns.

THE FIELD PEA.

From every section cOmes evidence
that the field pea is to be the great
forage plant Of high attitudes. So far
a heard from not a single experiment
has failed. In the low, humid sections
Of our country the pea sometimes be-
m quite rank and mildews, but
this is not the ase in the high, dry
sections. The San Luis valley, Colo
RADIO, lies at an altitude of bou 1900
feet and there great success has attend
ed the raising Of peas n the fatten-
ing Of lambs and hogs thereon.
In view Of the start in the pea-rais-
ing business already made on the Lar
annie plains, The Republican believes
the following article from the Denver
Republican of Wednesday morning Is
one of the most important items Of
news to the people of this valley that
has been given to the public in q .de-
cade:
1.-THE discovery of the feeding value
OF the field pea has added more to the
total wealth of Colorado in the three
years since it was made, than any new
mining camp in the same period Of
time" This statement was made by
Zeph. Charles Felt, vice-president Of
the Colorado State Realty association,
yesterday, when speaking Of the great
revival of the San Luis valley boom.
mo one who has not visited the val
ley this spring, a appreciate the
great change in conditions which the
growing Of peas has brought about. l
drove out from Monte Vista for many
miles, last week, through a country
which, three or four years ago. was
farmed only in spots, and where land
values had been steadily d~epreciating.
Now, as far az the eye can reach, the
fields are all green with %sprouting
grain or with peas. The bitches are
running full Of water, and there are re-
newed evidences of prosperity every
where.
Land which, a few years ago, was
selling slowly at $25 an acre.. is now
held close at $40 and $50, and seems
likely to go still higher. The best
thing about the boom is that it Is bas-
ed on solid achievement. After the
great settlement period in the eighties,
the San Luis valley had a period Of
serious reaction. The first farmers
were careless, plowed very little, irri-
gated carelessly. They started in with
yields Of so and 70 bushels Of wheat to
the acre ON land which had eve been
plowed. but On which the drill had
been run through the stumps Of the
q & brush. In q few years their crops
hardly paid for the drilling.
The trouble was that continued
wheat growing exhausted the soil. and
there ives no other crop adapted to the
climate and water supply that could be
used In rotation. A few year, ago,
one Of the more progressive farmers
tried field peas. on the advice Of the
state agricultural college, to re-enrich

The Cheyenne correspondent of the
Denver Republican reports that a num-
Der of people have been duped by un-
scrupulous people at Silver Crown;
that through Misrepresentation they
were induced to come from Kansas
to locate with the expectation that
they would be able to pick up fortunes
in the hills. The mine reported to be
10 fabulously rich proved to be a ten
foot prospect hole. There is entirely
too much Of this sort OF business
throughout the entire nation. Even
the eastern man is not exempt from
1t. The effete east, however, confines
its operations more exclusively to the
manipulation Of watered stock.

Innocence Of the Heron.

"The heron is becoming scarcer
each summer season about the
marshes and lake Shores" said an
old-time hunter to a representative Of
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. II

refrained from firing at 1t.
"The innocence Of this water fowl
respecting danger is exceptionally no-
ticeable. and when it skips in the
shallow water striking at ish with its
long. sharp-pointed bill 1t is directed
by a keen watchfulness. The heron
is the most beautiful of all the
waders, and is said to be held sacred
by the African tribes; should one hap

his soil. He turned in some lambs to
gather the crop, and they fattened SO
Quickly as to surprise the whole val.
ley. Every year since then, the num-
Der Of sheep fed has advanced in more
than geometrical progression. Last
winter, there were 500 carloads of
Iambs shipped to the Chicago market,
where they topped the market even
Above the famous corn, alfalfa and
pulp-fed lambs of northern Colorado.
Already more than double this number
OF carloads have been contracted for
this fall and winter, and the total num-
Der Of lambs fattened will approach a
million head.
One of the bankers of Monte Vista
has been collecting accurate data for
me on the profits made by the farmers,
and his figures show that they made,
net profit. more than 81 a head as an
average, and in some cases as high as
80 a head Of lambs fed. This is about
double what the same land would have
paid In grain crop. The peas enrich
the soil in some mysterious manner
by drawing nutriment from the air,
while the manure of the lambs fed
upon 1t also adds to the fertility.
ION top Of the lamb profits, many
farmers have been able to sell from
$500 to 81. 1000 worth of hogs. fattened
on the peas left on the ground by the
lambs. Men who. a few years ago,
were mortgaged to their eyebrows, are
now capitalists, and most of them are
doubling their pea acreage this veal to
make still more money.
Enriched soil means intensive farm,
ing, and one result of the lamb feed.
ing business has been to greatly i'm
prove the grade of the farming in the
valley. In the lower end, at Romeo, a
settlement of farmers from Greeley,
Eaton and Fort Collins has been &C.
complishing wonders in the develop,
ment Of the country. Their potatoes
took the prizes at the state fair, and
tied the Greeley product at st. Louis.
Now, there is talk of a sugar factory,
and land which was slow sale at SIS
an acre five years age is held at more
than $50. The total of the increased
valuation Of land in the valley, added
to the profits already made by the
farmers, will run into the millions OF
dollars. which bears out what l said
when I declared that the results in the
three years since the discovery of TIE
field pea exceeded those from any OF
the mining camps"
