Now Settled

After a great many years of non
sensical delay in which the cloven
hoof of the poltroon was seen
around the edges, the government
has revoked its order forbidding
individuals and companies filing
reservoir sites Oh the Rio Grande
river and tributary streams in Col
orado. AS result of this final
come down dozen reservoirs will
be built in the San Luis valley
and 100000 acres of land will be
redeemed. The change in the at
titude of the department of the in
terror will mean millions of dollars
to this state. The order was first
formulated upon the complaint of
Mexico that we were taking too
much water from the Rio Grande,
and that farms along the river in
Mexico were being destroyed.
After brief inquiry the govern
ment forbade the making of any
more filings for reservoirs on the
Rio Grande. We went to Senator
Teller at the time and filed COM
plaint against the in Justice and he
advised us to pay no attention to
the order but to go ahead with
the development of the country
and we notified our friends to that
effect. The result of the govern
ment' S reversal at this time means
that the San Luis valley will again
come into its own and the whole
country will soon be alive with the
spirit of improvement and in
creased settlement. Thousands of
new acres will be brought under
irrigation which will increase the
population of the valley.-Ranch

Profit of Pea Feeding

The profit of pea feeding in the
San Luis valley depends ON a
great many things. Every man
does not make money at the bust
ness. The man who owns his own
land and puts out his own crop of
peas has a great advantage over
the fellow who has to rent land.
The question Of how good a lamb
to buy, the price paid for it, the
manner of its finishing, the long
haul to market, together with the
condition of the sheep when sold,
all determine the economical hand
ling of lambs. Last fall, as..a rule,
the feeders all over Colorado paid
too much for their lambs to make
good money. \ number of them
paid as high as four cents and even
