ly means its indefnits continuation
after that date as the business is now
running each month much above the
amount required for even a maxi

pect that it will continue to run this
way for months to come, as all Sec

rapidly. One day last week the fill

which IS equal to the record day for
the Denver land office, the largest in
the state, for several years. The
local office is now receiving applica
tions for final proofs again, and also

the Office will be good news for the
whole district as it means great

Cold Storage Plants.

Articles of incorporation were filed
last week with the county clerk for
Santa Fe cold storage plants at La

of the Holly Gold Storge Go. are the
same with the exception that the
name of F. A. Sabin is in place OF
FIR. Pelouze. The principal offices
will be in Lamar and Holly and the
object as given is to manufacture

Sewers.

The city council has under advise
ment the question Of the construc-
ton of the large main sewer for a
sanitary system in Lamar. Several
meetings have been held of late and
the plans and estimates made by the
Denver engineer thoroughly gone
over. The nam sewer will cost the
city about $4,000, and the question
of organizing local districts to con-
meet with it could be left to the citi-
zens of the various sections of the
town to be built upon much the same
plan as the sidewalks have been.
There is no improvement more
needed here than sewerage system.
Lamar has ontgrown the present
system of handling it's waste, and
there is danger in long delay in the
matter. The present council are all
favorable to the question, and We be-
lieve all citizens should make it q
point to let them know they have
the backing of the public in the mat
ter, 80 the work will be pushed.

There are many thousa nds OF acres
of rich land lying south Of Lamar
that only need water to make them
as productive as the farms north of
that place. A number OF business
men in Lamar are interesting them
selAes and will make an effort to
bring this land under cultivation by
building a ditch that will carry water
from the Purgstorie. j. B. Traxler
of that city, with Will h. Murphy,
engineer, started at point on that
river thirteen miles west Of Las Ami
mas and have completed for dis
tance of 25 miles preliminary sur

these new concerns are to be simply
to facilitate the handling Of perish

tors to local companies in the same

LAMAR IS IN THE SWIM
All the Good Things Headed This Way and
You Had Better Get in Line

One CT the most active places OF
business in this section is the gen.
eral Offices of The Arkansas Valley
R. r., in the Huddleston block. The
preparations being made are not
alone for the construction of the
road but for it's operation after com
pletion. A number of new contracts
have been let by the Mcdowell &
Leonard company, and they will in
short time have a large portion OF
their own outfit here to push the
work along. We are glad to see so
much of the work being contracted
by the farmers along the route of
the road as they will be able to do a
big amount of work before they have
to turn all their attention to farm
work.
Reports from Rocky Ford show
that the first shipment of ties for
The Arkansas Valley r. R. have
been received there, and this shows
the intention of the company to push
the work without any unnecessary
delay. All material will be on hands
before it is needed. They have the
capital and the necessary push to
make success of anything they un-
undertake.

yew journals. The main object OF
both Is to stir up trouble between
the various sections OF Prowers coun-
ty, and failing in this, he is now try
ing to convice the. public that state
of anarchy exists in the valley. Such
reports as he has been scattering
broadcast the past week cannot help
but injure all sections of the valley,
even when as in this case there il
absolutely no foundation in fact for
them. The statements made with
regard to the Holbrook right of way
are such infamous lies that anythin e
Col. Wiley has complained of in the
past is insignificant IN comparison.
The American Beet Sugar Co. is the
largest taxpayer in the valley e1-
cept the Santa Fe, and they more
than any others are interested in
preserving the authority of the courts
and law, and the gentlemen who are
in charge of its interests have been
strictly honorable in all their deal
ings with the public. The interests
of the people of all sections of Prov
ers county aud the valley are identi-
cal, they want more sugar factories
and more railways, and are not very
particular who builds them, just 30
they are built. There is no cause
for enmity between men working for
the same end, and in spite of Col.
Wiley,s efforts everything is peace
full along the Arkansas, and dirt is
moving rapidly on both The Arkan-
sas valley R. R. and the Holly &

any but few that have been under
taken in the past. In addition, the
day has gone by when land and

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Tho Meeting on February 23 and "a
Promises to be Of Much
Benefit to all.

Arrangements are being rapidly
completed for the farmers institute
to be held in Lamar on Friday and
Saturday, February 23 and "a, un.
der the auspices of the Fort Collins
Agricultural College. NJ. j. Nc
Millin, who has had charge of tn
local work has secured the following
committee to take charge of the in
stitute: j. o. Stream, J. K. Steven
son, @ B Ray, E. @. Gordon, Q. q.
Goodsle, A. N. Parrish, s I. Borton.
The Methodist church has been Sc
cured for the session of the institute
and this calls back memories to the
old timers of the most successful in
stitute ever held in southeastern
Colorado, which was held in that
church this month IA years ago.
Efforts are going to be made to get
a representative gathering of FARM
ers such as that was and have the
same big time.
This is one OF series of institut-
es which the faculty of the college
is arranging for and special corps
of institute workers has been organ
lied to attend these meetings and
assist in the work.
Institutes are devoted to the dis
oussion Of agricultural and live stock
subjects and are made thoroughly
interesting and instructive to the
farmers and their wives. The meet
ings are free to all who are interest
cd and in places where they have
been held the greatest interest is
taken. The institute corps for the
coming series of meeting as far as
made up is as follows;
Prof. W. L. Carlyle, live stock and
dsirying.
Prof. W. H. Olin, soil cultivation,
seed selection and general farm
crops.
DR.. George H Glover, animal dis
cases and poison weeds.
Miss Ida NJ. Tilson, poultry
raising.
Miss Theodosia g. Ammons, do.
mestic science.
William B. Ebbert, sugar beet
growing.
Subjects are discussed in which
the people of the particular locality
are most interested. The institute
workers open the subject with short
addresses and then the farmers are
invited to ask questions and in this
way there is discussion full of in3
struction to all. At most of the in
stitutes at least one special session
is held for the ladies alone, which is
addressed by Miss Ammons and Miss
Tilson. These special sessions have
proven of great interest and value to
the women.
These institutes are provided for
by the appropriations made by the
last legislature for this purpose.
They have proven SO popular among
the farmers and stockmen they will
doubtless be made permanent under
state direction.

Great Gap to Siberia

THE second world gap, to speak, divides the
railway system of England from that of France
by the English Channel, having total width of
The creation of the French German, and Russian
railway systems, with the latter reaching out to
the Pacific coast along the trans Siberian line,
brings to the greatest world gap now existing.
This gap separates the trans Siberian system from
the Canadian and United States systems converging
at Vancouver and Seattle the Pacific termini of the
Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific, and the
Great Northern railway systems.
The Siberian railway line is in fact an
ward extension of the St. Petersburg and Moscow
line. 1t finds its way through the Ural Mountains
along the ftyfth parallel of latitude and stretches
across the southern portion of West Siberia due
east through Omsk and Krasnoyarsk. From the
latter point it trends toward the southeast to
1rkutsk, the southwestern end of Lake Baikal.
The passage of this lake has hitherto required a
five hours ferry; but the completion of the railway
line around the southern end of the lake will afford

continuous railway travel from St. Petersburg to
Vladivostok. For a short distance from Lake
Bakal the railway due east to the head waters
of the Amur River, thence in southeasterly
direction through Hardin to the Pacific terminus
at Vladivostok about eighteen hundred miles from
Irkutsk.
The general trend of the trans-Siberian railway,
after passing the western frontier of Siberia is
sensibly south of east and west line. While St.
Petersburg is the sixtieth parallel of latitude,
Vladivostok is located about at latitude fortytwo
degrees, which is little different from that of the
city of New York, but in a much colder climate.
That part of Eastern Siberia therefore, served
by the trans Siberian railway is in about the latitude
of New England. 1t is essential to bear carefully in
mind these geogra phcal facts, because the vast
Siberian country tributary to this Russian con-
tinental line possesses great latent agricultural
wealth In fact, it has been many times stated
that Siberia especially the southern part is destined
to be of the great granaries of the world
Siberian Farms Will Help
THE capacity for agricultural and industrial de-
velopment possessed by Eastern Siberia has
most important bearing upon the possibility of
closing this world railway gap between the Russo
Siberian continental system and the transcontinenta
systems of the United States and Canada. 1t has
been seriously proposed to build railway about
thirtyeight hundred miles long from 1rkutsk at the
southwest end of Lake Baikal, the s-Siberan
line, to East Cape, the extreme northeast point of
land OF siberia on Ine western SnOre OF Ber1nS
Strait and the other side of that strait from
Cape Prince of Wales, the extreme northwestern
point of Alaska up the Yukon River through the
interior of Alaska, traversing the rich mining dis
tricts of that country and down the west coast of
Alaska and Canada to Vancouver and Seattle,
distance of about twenty-seven hundred miles
This great intercontinenta railroad project
templates passing Boring Strait either by railway
ferry, thrty-sx miles long, or by tunnel of the
same length. Indeed, French geographer, Lofcq
de Lobel, has actively advocated such project,
known as the Trans Alaska Siberian Railway, and
the project has already entered its first stage of
promotion. This closure of the great world gap in
the ntercontinenta railroad belt would thus require
the construction of only sixty-fve hundred miles
of railway line and tunnel thirty-six miles long.
There found about midway in Boring Strait
two islands called the Diomedes, precisely the
line of the proposed tunnel and greatly favoring
its construction. The water in Boring Strait has
maximum depth of less than two hundred feet,

able traveller, starting with the French author, to
make two complete trips to the latters one, with
three days stop in Paris each journey.
The general development of railway building
tends encrce the earths surface within the limits
of thirty and sixty degrees north latitude In this
great belt of railway lines there of great
water gaps as we'll as small Ones due to the ocean
spaces and to straits comparatively
channels canals of sea water. The continuously
solid character of the territory of the United States
leaves practically such gaps in the western hemi
sphere. In Europe, however, there number of
such gaps in the main world belt of railway net

The Menai Straits separate the latter from the
main territory of Wales but that is narrow body
of water with total width of about eleven hundred
feet. 1t has been the of construction of two
of the most remarkable bridges completed.
These noteworthy because at the time of
their building there absolutely preced ,nts
and constructive experience to guide the great
engineers. The suspension bridge built by Thomas
Telford in 825-26 and the tubular bridge built
by Robert Stevenson in 1S4o-5o marvels of
bridge construction in their day. Both of these de-
signs bold and brilliant engineering work

to receive no serious attention from well balanced
business men; but the chimeras of yesterday become
feasible business enterprises of to-day While it is
not probable that this intercontinental railway line
will be constructed Immediately it would be rash
prophecy to deny its feasibility ten years hence.
The projected Siberian railway line from Irkutsk
in a general northeastery direction to East Cape
Boring Strait passes along its western half,
through country capable of much agricultural
development, and although its eastern half would
penetrate mountainous region, there is every
to believe that it is district of much mineral
wealth, as Alaska has been found to be- Indeed,
in spite of the high latitude of this line its construc
ton would doubtless actively incte agricultural
and other industrial development throughout much
of its tributary territory, and stimulate to even
higher degree extensive and valuable mining enter
prses.
Railway building has already been begun in
Alaska The population of the country has increased
five hundred per cent within five years. Phe-
nomenal mining development has already obtained
such remarkable proportions and such a substan-
tial basis, that Alaska now takes place among the
richest mineral districts of the world In addition to
this, and what has much more significance as to the
permanent wealth of Alaska, its broad valleys and
plateaus have been found to furnish soil in many
places of unusual richness already demonstrated

stuffs while its timber and fisheries of great

country in the western part of British Columbia
tributary to the proposed line of railway running
from Alaska down to Vancouver.
Pioneer Work Has Begun
THE prospects, therefore, for closing this world
gap are not by any means so chimerical as might
at first sight appear. Indeed pioneer work in min
ing agriculture, and fisheries has already advanced
far enough, especially along the former two lines,
practically to demonstrate that the project for
this intercontnental line of railway has substan-
tial business foundation.
The extraordinary development of tunnel building
and its application to the extension of railway lines,
both those of a trunk or continental character and
for the dense intermural passenger traffic of great
cities has led the invention and of procedures
that remarkably enhance both speed and economy
of construction At first sight the project of tunnel
ing Berng Strait with it's length of thirtysix miles
between shore lines, might appear too formidable
to be undertaken. The rock through which it would
be bored is supposed to be of granite character.
