Lamnr's Growth.

The writer spent a part of last
week in Lamar inspecting an irriga-
ton proposition for some eastern
clients. We remember the first town
lot sale in Lamar, in 1889 when the
town was first started and lots were
sold at auction by that prince of
real estate foaters, L. r. Holmes of
Garden City. The town languished
for awhile but about 1889 and 1890
they began to irrigate and the town
has grown and thriven marvellously
since then. Lamar has two thou
sand people, fine business blocks,
beautiful residences, great beet
sugar factory that will run this year
for five months, using four hundred
and fifty tons of beets day, and
various other enterprises. The wide
valley there is beautiful with groves
and orchards, alfalfa and sugar beets,
and every sign of prosperity. The
land that twenty years ago could
have been bought for the Govern
ment price is selling at hundred
dollars an acre.
All of this is very fine and we are
glad of Colorado's prosperity along
the Arkansas valley, and proud of
the spirit that has built up this
splendid civilization out of the des-
ert. But when one sees the way
they use water it is calculated to
make Kansas man cuss.-Kinsley

Governor Mcdonald.

One reason why the people of this
state like jesse Mcdonald is because
he has not devoted his attention to
the building up of personal ma
chine for himself He has given the
whole of his time and attention to
the business of the state. and there
has never been quieter, more snc-
cessful and more satisfactory admin
istration of state affairs.
Those who can remember back a
few years may well wonder at the
change During the Adams and
Thomas administrations politics was
the chief business of the governor.
Each wanted to use office as step
ping stone to the United States Sen
ate.
Governor Mcdonald does not want
to be senator His appointments
have been made and his other acts
done with single eye to the ellici-
ency of the public service. He is
not even trying for a denomination,
in the ordinary sense of the words
He has no agents going about and
trying to create public opinion. If
the people of the state want him
again he will take the place, but he
isn't going to sit up nights plotting
and scheming to get delegates. If
the people like this kind of COVER
ncr they know where to find him.

Undue Congestion In cities.

1t is common complaint that
many or most of these agricultural
students seek city occupations The
tendency is natural one, for it is in
trade and transportation and manu-
featuring and so on that the great
material prizes of the time are being
won. But there is limit to posi-
bilities, even in this direction, and
undue congestion will sooner or
later compel reaction. The country
will then successfully assert a
claim to its fair share of the genius
and energy for development, as must
inevitably be the case, since the ur-
ban life is not independent of the
nonurban, cannot maintain progress
aud prosperity without correspond
ing advance in the conditions of life
aud industry among that G6 per cent
of the population to be found on the
farms and in the small towns

Colorado's Prosperity.

AS business proposition, the
state of Colorado is in better shape
today than ever before. The reve-
nues of the state have increased a
great deal faster than its expendi-
lures. And this has not been alto
gether because of the natural growth
of the state. 1t has been largely
owing to the efficient administration
of affairs by the public officials. The
returns from the inheritance tax, for
instance, have been tremendously in
creased by the diligence of the audi
tor in going after the officials in
trusted with the collection of the tax.
The same may be said of delinquent
taxes and the interest thereon. The
receipts of the insurance department
have been vastly incr eased by the
resolute purpose of the commission
or and his deputy to enfore existing

new DISTRICT FORMED.
The Bent and Prowers Irrigation
District Carried Unanimously

The election last Saturday at the
three polling places in Bent and
Prowers counties resulted in almost
the entire qualified vote being cast,
and the result was unanimously in
favor of the new irrigation district.
The election of directors for the
new district resulted in the follow
ing being chosen: Scott w Dobbins,
Dist. No. l; Stephen Scott, Dist. No
2; and j. Nj. Wright Dist. No. g. In
the latter district there were two
candidates, j. NJ. Wright and E. Nj.
Steward, and the race was a tie in
the two Prowers county precincts,
but Mr.. Wright had s majority in
the Bent county precinct.
The board of commissioners of
Prowers county will meet on July
23rd to canvass the returns, and the
board of directors can organize as
soon after that as they give bond.
They can then go ahead with the
work of making surveys and pre-
pairing for the construction of the
ditch. The next important step,
however, will be the election to vote
on the proposition of bonding the
district for the purpose of raising
the money to construct the ditch.
The election shows that the people
of the district are unit in favor of
going ahead with this great pa ject,
aud this spirit makes it certain that
success will attend their efforts.
The district will have about 3d.
600 acres of decided land at the start
and there are thousands of acres
more that will be subject to taxation
just as fast as it can be proved up.
There are still good many fine
claims that can be filed on in this
district and there will be quite a
rush to secure them, rs there is no
opportunity in the west today where
such valuable land can be secured
under the government homestead
laws.
Without doubt this new district
has the most abundant water supply
of any proposed ditch enterprise in
Colorado, and it only needs the de-
velopment of its great reservoirs to
make it the most reliable farming
district in the west. Under the state
irrigation act the money to develop
the district can be obtained by vot-
idg bonds for which all the taxable
property of the district is security,
and rs this kind of security is now
bringing good fignres, the prospect
for the new district is bright.

laws. A similar condition exists in
the land office A more careful sup
ervision and greater diligence in
watching the public interests and
collecting what is rightly due to the
state have brought up the receipts
to an unprecedented figure. These
are only few examples, but they
show the snirit that animates all de-
partments of the present administra-
tion.-E1.
