Getting Bigger.

The new permanent survey being
made by the corps of engineers en-
ployed by the directors of the Bent
and Prowers Irrigation District, has
established the fact that the line can
be run 70 feet higher and this will
take in many thousand more acres Of
fine farming lands, much of which is
already decided land.
The new territory can be easily be
added to the present district if the
people who own property within the
limits wish to get in, and it is be-
lieved that most of them will be
anxious to be annexed. A new cleo
ton will be necessary to accomplish
this, but the addition of the decided
lands will make the bonds still
more desirable investment than at
present.
The engineers pronounce the res
srvoirs and canal one Of the most
easily constructed irrigation enter
prises now projected anywhere in the
west, and as the land is as good
sugar beet land as can be found any
where in the world, there should be-
no trouble in getting capital to take
hold of the project.
The government lands under this
system are going rapidly, and there
are now only few claims left under
the first survey.

Blended in Splendid Presentation
of"A Messenger Boy"
George D. Sweet, supported by a
remarkably strong company, present
ed that spledid melo drama, "a Mes
senger Boy" at the opera house last
night. The plot Of the play is real
istic presentation of life from the
outside world, that appeals SO forci-
bly, to our natures. The kidnapping
of two children, with their final res
cue, with tale of devoted and trust
ing love that had its origin in the
outcsst life of the street waits at
Pier 46 in the great city, with the
manly honor and final reward of the
kidnapped bootblsck who possesses
some of the noblest traits of honor
and integrity, make drama that
fsscinstes while it pleases. The
scene at the great Brooklyn bridge,
with night on the east river with Its
piers and lights is worth the price of
admission alone. Col. Worry, the
egotistical, irsscible but warm heart
ed old man who never forgets his
war record, is q whole circus with
the clowns thrown in. The cunning
william and his female accomplice
make you shudder at the realistic
presentation of all that is villsinous
and mean. To enumerate the good
features would be to give the entire
cast for there is not q weak place in
either the plot or the players, while
the parting of Grit and Roxy, and
the finding of sisters child are the
very highest scenes Of pathos, and
are presented just as they were
written.-Devils Lake, N. D., Tri-

90 YEARS AGO
Notes from The Lamar Register Of
January 40, 1887


Ben Daniels formerly marshal of
Dodge City, has located in Lamar.
TThis is the same distinguished
former Lamarite whom President
Roosevelt has made U. s. Marshal
for Arizona.
Capt. H. A. Billow and family ar
rived in Lamar this week and are
now living at home here.
The first w. @. 7. U. was organic
ed in Lamar. Mrs. D. E. Cooper
was president, and Mrs. M. D. Par
menter, secretary.
The school was moved to the
building occupied by the Lamar
Drug Co. on Railroad Ave, north of
track.
Hon. @. G. Goodale, mayor Of
Winterset, Iowa, who was here last
summer and made some Investments,
has been here several days this week.
He has contracted with P. 3. Lynch
to build him a fine residence on his
homestead adjoining town, and will
move here with his family the first
of April. He also has Main street
property which he expects to i'm
prove soon. Mr.. Goodale is an able
and very successful attorney, widely
known and highly respected through
out Iowa, and will prove a valuable
acquisition to our town.

individual farmer to understand
these laws and adapt himself to the
details of a system which may be
called the science of making the
most out of what nature provides.
The whole aim Of the dry farming
people is to conserve as far as possi-
BILE the moisture which comes to the
soil from the SHOWS of winter and
the light intermittent rains which
may be counted on throughout the
summer.
By means of the dry farming
process, already thousands Of acres
Of land in eastern Colorado have
been turned into veritsble gardens,
where formerly nothing could be
seen but vast stretches Of sand,
broken here and there with tufts of
buflsio grass or patches Of sage
brush. In the summer months of
the last few years the travellers on
the railroad trains trsversing these
areas are astonished to find flourish
ing. farms with great fields of wheat,
oats, barley and pears, with here and
there fine fields Of corn, where they
had expected to find nothing sa,e Q
huge stretches, forming part of what
they had been taught by their school
books to call The Great American
Desert. Right here it might be we'll
to note that irrigation and dry farm
ing together are making that term of
the school books, "Great American
Desert" not only senseless phrase,
but vertiable slander. At the pres
ent rate of progress there will be
very little Of the so called desert
that will not be blooming like the
Garden of Eden,
To the average easterner this
transformation from desert to verd-
ant farms is incomprehensible. This
is exemplified in little sketch writ
ten by Opie Read on his last trip to
Colorado. He says:
"Those who, on previous occasions
had traversed the same ground re-
membered that after crossing into
the Centennial state there were miles
of unbroken nothingness, intermin-
able stretches with never a flower to
brighten the dull and uninventive
dream-desert without oasis. But
now how great the surprise to see
farm after farm, gardens of thrilling
verdure, the result of that scientific
discovery, dry fnrming. I made in
quiry of q man who seemed willing to
give information. I did not know
that he was humorist. How diff
cult it is sometimes to distinguish a
humorist from a statistician.
"How is this sccomplished9" ?" l
asked.
"By irrigation" he answered.
Impossible! Where do they get
the watesf"
"Out of the wstermelons they
raise" he answered.
"But granting the wetness of
watermelons, how do they raise
themS"
"By dry farming"
Then he explained with the SER
iousness of humorist. that water,
while genial to the land, was no more
essential to farming that it is to the
proverbial Kentuckisn. His elucid
alton might have admitted OF argu-
ment but there were the bountiful
oropa moro eloquent than rhetoric,
