ing association sold its model farm
of 800 acres for So, 480, an average
of over 800 an acre. The farm is
located near Bennett, on the Union
Pacific, in Adams county, and the
purchaser is William s. Dodge of
Harvard, Ill.
Lsst year the Scientific Farming
company bought the land for So 25
an acre. They proceeded to Guilt
vate it after a modified Campbell
system, breaking the ground on Apr.
4 last. One half Of it was sown to
peas, and a crop worth $4,000 was
harvested. The entire plot is now
sown to winter wheat.
The company is preparing to start
another farm the coming spring
on the same plan as the one just sold
to Dodge, only nearer to the rail-
road. At present they are working
four half sections all IN the vicinity
of Bennett, for ]. L. Haley, N. H.
Nelson, F. w. Stsllard aud O. r.
Griffiths, on the same system, and
expect to plant them in Duran wheat
in the spring.
1t is evident, from the fact that SO
many owners Of property in eastern
Colorado are preparing to work the
land aud raise crops, that the days
of speculation in Colorado dry lands
are rapidly nearing a close and that
the buyers of the present and the
future are intending to use their pur-
chases as steady income bringers.

Facts vs. Prejudice.

The election is over and we are
willing to let it rest, but few words
seem necessary in reply to the ma
liciously false statements Of the Hol-
ly Chieftain last week. The fresh
editor of that paper is at his old
game of trying to stir up ill feeling
between the two ends Of the county
at time when al ought to be pull
ing together for the good of Prowers
county.
At the election on November 6,
about 1900 votes we're cast in Prov
ers county, and the town of Lsmar
cast $40 or nearly half. There were
six important county officers to elect
and on this basis Lamar should have
been entitled to three, or at least two.
The Lamar republicans only asked
one nomination at the hands of the
convention, and that for the Office
that ranks fourth in pay and desir-
ability, the assessor. Holly was
given the best, treasurer, and the
man whom the Holly delegation sup
ported was nominated. While it is
true he WAS defeated he received
better support in proportion to the
total vote in Lamar than he did at
Holly.
Holly also had a nominee on the
democratic ticket, but as the Chief
tain refused to support him and did
support his opponent, of course 1t is
glad the Holly man man lost. Even
here though no possible kick can be
made against Lamar as Mr.. Pettee
received % more votes in Lamar
than the highest vote given any can
didate on the democratic state ticket.
Lamar, it is trne, had three candi-
dates on the democratic ticket but
as all were defeated, there is no
ground for complaint of any Lamar
combination.
Lamar has never had less repr g..
sentation on a ticket than the repub-
licans had on the county ticket this
year, and the workers of the party
made the hardest fight in the history
of the county to assist Chairman Nc
Millin in his efforts to make a clean
sweep.
The editor of the Chieftain is try
ing to work up cheap prejudice for
his own personal gain, and he cares
not how much he may injure the
county while he is doing it.

"Reformer"H ~ earst's "siush Fund"
1t took more than q quarter of q
million dollars, to be exact S256, $40
according to his own statement, and
he would not exsggerate in matter
20 personal, to premlt Mr.. Hearst to
know what the people Of the Empire
state thought of his candidacy. If
Mr.. Hearst had not been born with
She proverbial silver spoon in his
mouth he might never have known
that it was possible for party to be
successful and have its leader beaten
to the tune of 10000 votes. This
sort of experience must be of neces-
sity cost.
And if Mr.. Hearst mad not taken
the precsution to let the world know
that he was q reformer among Ie-
formers, the one chozen from the
rest to slay the giant trusts and at
tack graft in its lair, this vast ex-
penditure on the part of one candl-
date would have caused all the yell
low newspapers in The country,
headed by the New York "Choinal," :"
to raise one simultaneous cry for an
inquisition and the instruments or
torture. Reform, like charity, COW
srs q multitude of sins. Mr.. Hearst
has been posing as Caesar come to
rid modern Rome of its aristocracy
and its sins, bat that bill of expenses
which he fled in New York
brings him nearer to Crassus of the
triumvir than the imperator himself,
who was rather modest in his out
lays.
But Mr.. Hearst knew wnat he was
doing. He is a spender when the
returns are in sight. He put out
that quarter of million dollars as
another advertiser would spend the
money in printers ink and circus
bills. The business manager of the
Hearst estate was behind the desk in
charge of the till, and he knew what
the percentage of returns would be.

Eastern Farmers and Western
Farms.

Farms.
One good result which may be
looked for from the meeting of the
National Grange in this city is the
enlightenment of the delegates upon
the relation of the reclamation of
arid lands to the agricultural inte-
rests of other parts of the country.
When the subject of national aid
in reclaiming arid lands first came
prominently before the country.
some farmers living in the East pro-
tested on the ground that the pro-
jsct was to build up new competi-
tion against them, and to use the
money of the national government
for that purpose.
Any one who is correctly inform
ed in regard to agricultural condi-
tons in the arid region knows that
on this score the Eastean farmers
have little to fear. 1t may be ques-
toned if the total land which ulti
mately may be reclaimed through ir-
rigation will supply agricultural pro-
ducts for more than the future pop
ulation of this part Of the country.
The growth of mining of different
kinds and Of manufacturing, togeth-
or with the development of a large
urban population not directly de-
pendent upon any special industry,
promises to be as rapid As our agri
cultural development except along a
few lines. The great market for the
farm and orchard products of this
section is the one to be found at
home in the cities and mining camps
of the far West.
A few agricultural products of
which an excess may be grown here
may be compelled to look for mar
kets beyond the limits of the arid
region, but shipments of that kind
will in all probability be counter-bal-
snced by importstions of other pro-
ducts grown on American farms.
Colorado canteloupes and potatoes
find q market beyond the boundsr-
les Of this state; but everybody
knows that an enormous quantity of
Kansas and Minnesota -four is ship
ped in to supply in part the local
demand.
The development Of the agricul-
tural Interests of the arid region is
destined to be enormous, but SO is
the development Of mining and
manufacturing. This is not one
industry part of the country. 10 a
large degree it has within ltrelf all
the factors by which great popula
ton may be maintained. Out of
this will grow u home market for its
agricultural products which will pre-
vent the competion with Eastern
farms which farmers beyond the
Mississippi river at one time feared.

FORM NEW BOAT LINE
Steamer Frontenac, Managed by
Chicago Northern Navigation
Company, to Touch Here
LOCAL MEN ARE INTERESTED

The Chicago Northern Navigation
company, the latest addition to the
list of lake transportation companies,
was organized in Chicago yesterday
with view of operating a line of
steam boats between Chicago, Keno
sha and Waukegan, and the first boat
owned by the company "The Fronte-
nae" will be placed on the run within
a short time. The company will have
Kenosha Office on the docks of the
Simmons Manufacturing company
where large warehouse is now be-
ing built to take care of the freight
handled by the company. The officers
Of the new company are President A.
J. Hannah, Of Chicago, and Frank H.
Truax, Of Kenosha, secretary and
treasurer. H. HI. Brigham, manager
Of the marine department of the A.
Booth Packing Co., is also connected
with the company.
The company has already secured
docks in Chicago and has also made a
traffic arrangement with every Fai1-
way company leading in and out of
Chicago. 1t is the plan Of the COM
pany to handle all the smaller freight
of the Simmons Manufacturing Co.,
but the managers of the company will
also be in the business of a general
carrier, and freight to and from Ke-
nosha will be sought. The company
promises to offer every advantage that
can be offered by Z. railway company
with the further advantage of cheaper
rates.
The Frontenac will make one trip a
day between the cities and will carry
freight and passengers. The boat is
one of the large freight and passenger
boats on the lake. She is of 700 tons
burden and is being fitted out espec-
tally for the Kenosha traffic. The
boat will leave Chicago at p. M.
daily, except Sunday, reaching Keno
sha at midnight, and dinner will be
served for the passengers. The boat
may possibly touch at Racine later in
the season, but this plan has not been
fully decided upon. E. ]. Kelly, an
experienced lake transportation mana
ger, will have charge of the business
of the company ia Chicago, and John
Hustler will be the local solicitor.
Mr. Truax stated in an interview
this afternoon that the company
would arrange a most satisfactory
freight and passenger service for the
people of Kenosha, and that they
hoped by this service to merit large
trade from the city. The initial trip
of the boat will take place within a
| few days.
Plans are already being drawn for a
new steel turbine steamer with such
high speed guaranteed as will permit
two trips per day being made between
this city and Chicago. It is expected
that rs miles an hour will be attained
| by the new steamer.
Kenosha and Waukegan merchants
and manufacturers have given the
new enterprise cordial welcome.

AFTER THE AGENTS
Government Officials Co After
Lottery Agents in All Parts
Of the Country
MANY TICKETS SOLD HERE

If the assertions of men who claim
to know come true Kenosha will
shortly be treated to a scandal that
may cause the permanent disgrace of
several men whose standing IN the
community heretofore has always
been unimp eachable. The trouble has
started at Wilmington, Del, where
Wednesday afternoon several secret
service men of the national govern
ment closed the several offices of the
Honduras Lottery company, and ar
rested a number Of the ringleaders,
among whom was John NJ. Rogers, a
millionaire manufactured and BUSH
ness man, who is claimed to be the
chief hacker of the concern.
There are men in Kenosha who
positively assert that an agency of
the lottery company has been doing
business in the city uninterruptedly
for years and that the proprietor cam
not escape the secret service men, who
have the names and addresses of
every one of the 5000 agents of the
company, all of whom are to be ar
rested. Where the agency is located
no one is willing to divulge, but It is
conceded that it is ia we'll known
business house and that the men con-
nected with it are well known.
The dispatch from Wilmington am
nouncing the raid and subsequent
results has the following to say of the
business as it has been conducted:
After years of continued and un-
molested prosperity, nettingS $500, 900
a month to its hackers, the Honduras
lottery received its death blow by the
seizure Of it's three headquarters, To-
Gated at New York, Gloucester and
Wilmington, Wednesday.
Rogers, who has been an eminently
respectable and wealthy citizen OF
Wilmington for more than score of
years, was dumfounded when the
warrant of arrest was servedson him
by United States Secret Service Oper-
alive Donahue.
When the Louisiana state lottery
was forced out of existence sin 1895
through the enactment off federal
statues Rogers, it is alleged. took
coatro1 of the Whining ton end.
In every city along the Atlantic
coast and elsewhere prominent bush
ness men are at present engaged in
backing this i11egitimate but wonder
fully profitable enterprise and arrests
will be made in time. Thesesbusiness
men, who in many cases hold high
social position and have been for
years eminently respectable, hold
stock in the lottery. There are more
than 5000 agents and all of these are
scheduled for arrest.

CONFIRMS REPORT
Manager of Racine Gas Light Co. Says
Company Will Pipe Gas to Kenosha

Manager of Racine Gas Light Co. Says
Company Will Pipe Gas to Kenosha
Mr.. H. H. Hyde, manager of the
Racine Gas Light company, was seen
Thursday afternoon relative to the
proposed transportation of gas from
Racine to Kenosha, and he stated,
in substance, as follows:
eve propose, by the so-called high
pressure system, to furnish the Keno
sha Gas and Electric Light company
with gas direct from our plant 1t
will be sent by high pressure; that
means by pressure of thirty pounds.
When we call it high pressure it is
because the pressure required in RAJ
cine amounts to but one tenth of
pound, and the high pressure will be
necessary IN this case because so,
large quantities have to be Trans
ferred through small pipes, about six
inches in diameter.
"About July first we will begin
on the work, and we hope to be
able to finish it in couple of months
SO that everything will be in readiness
during the first part of September.
The line will be laid directly from
our works to the Kenosha plant.

STATE FAIR FEATURES
Many Drawing Cards Arranged for the
State Fair This Year

MANY OTaWAuS (aEuS ATFdHRGu IOE TIC
State Fair This Year
Many interesting features were
agreed upon and many improvements
in the fair grounds were discussed at
the meeting of the Milwaukee state
fair advisory committee of the Wis
consin state board Of agriculture, held
the latter part of last week at Mil
waukee.
Over $4,000 will be given in prizes
for the horse racing alone, with an in
crease in the premium list. There
will be two races for which $1,000
purses will be offered, which will
mean So, 500 to each of the winners
and the purse for the Stree for al"
will be So, 500. There will be many
other races for lesser amounts. The
committee thinks this will cause the
best horses in the state to be entered.
Another feature will be girls re-
lay race on horseback. A Missouri
girl and a Montana female rough
rider will be the principal contestants
in this race. The question of auto
mobiles was discussed but will come
up againsat somelfuture meeting. It
is not unlikely that horse show will
be one of the added features. This
can be heldlin livestock building and
the committee thinks it would prove
popular. High class vaudeville acts
will be secured. The Wisconsin
Archaeological society has suggested
a real Indian village as one of the
features and this idea will DE carried
out if permission can be obtained
from the Indian commission at Wash
ington. 1t is the intention to take the
Indians from the reservations in Wis
consin.
Knabschute and his airship will APP
pear during the week of the fair. The
daring aronenaut will give exhibitions
and on the days when the weather
is favorable will sail down to the
city hall and back.
Many improvements were agreed
upon in regard to the grounds and
the entrances. New turnsti1es will
be added and extra gates Tor patrons
in carriages and automobiles. Block
tickets will be issued and put on sale
at the principal downtown hotels.
