The La Jara chronicle., 1907-09-27

ley its entire length and width,
and at Ft. Garland, an old aband-
oned government fort once made
| famous by such men as Kit Car
son, the traveller gets his first
glimpse of the valley and is at
once struck with its pictur-
esqueness and beauty. The golden
tinge of the landscape covered
with yellow blooming chicco,
blending harmoniouslY with the
purple of the mountain daisy, with
here and there the green covered
banks of mountain stream wend-
ing its way to the Rio Grlnde,
makes wonderful picture framed
with snow capped mountains.
As the center of the valley is
reached, this waste land of chico,
greasewood and sage brush is
changed into marvelously produc-
tive farms. The agency of this
wonderful transformation is irri-
cation. The waters of the Rio
Grande, Conejos and Alamosa riv-
ers besides the numerous mountain
streams furnish an abundant sup
ply of water to irrigate almost ev-
ery acre of land in the valley. and
enormous reservoirs are being built
in the canons of the mountains
which will furnish water enough
for every foot of land in the valley.
In the vicinity of La Jara and
Monte Vista are the best improved
farms, and crops that are grown
there are record breakers and re-
markable. To tell the average
man that you saw acres and acres
of wheat that will make over forty
bushels to the acre of 60 to 81
pound wheat and field upon field
of oats that will make from Is to
30 bushels testing as high as ~
pounds, would make him look at
you with an incredible smile, but
nevertheless such crops are every
year occurrences in this valley
Nor is this all. Barley. alfalfa,
peas, potatoes and all garden veg
etables make the same enormous
yield. One man is ready to fur
nish proof that he raised $50 bush
els of potatoes to the acre and one
man claims over 1900 bushels to
the acre, although this does seem
Incredible. Vegetable products
of the valley invariably take first
prizes at all fairs where they are
exhibited. Wheat, oats and bar
ley commonly grow from four to
six feet in height and oats two
feet high are considered too short
to cut. 1t is not uncommon for
the first years crop to pay for the
land and in some instances with a
good sized surplus. Some of the
finest improved farms in the west
also lie in this vicinity, Prices
of this land are gradually advanc-
ing and today is selling from $50
to 500 per acre. 1t is only a
question of short time until ev-
cry acre in this vicinity will be
worth from 500 to $500.
Among the greatest resources of
the valley are the pea-fed hogs and
cattle, which are fattened the cas-
lest and cheapest of any other
place in the world There are no
diseases or bad storms to kill them
off, and summer pasture costs al
most nothing.
The climate of this valley is all
that could be asked. While it gets
cold in the winter there are no
radical changes and little snow or
rain. The summers are cool and
delightful, owing to the high alti-
tude. The water is the finest in
theworld. Every farm and town

Important Meeting.

Little Rock, Oct. 5. 3.-Special--- Interest now centers in the meet ing of the State Charities Board in the city Monday morning. 1t is stated by those who should know that J. C. Williamson, of Izard county, will be here and that he will protest against his removal and the appointment of E. c. Parsons as member of the Board It is also reported that MT. Williamson has said that he will spend $1O,OOO to prevent his busting.
 On the other hand it is stated that Mir. Williamson had endors ed MT. Parsons for the position before the appointment of that gentleman. MT. Williams, by some, is said to be in Texas, and that he has sold his Arkansas property, while others declare that he is in Izard county, and that he is still a resident of Ark ansas The matter will probably be fought out to the bitter end Monday.
 In the meantime there are two men claiming to be superinten- dent of the Arkansas school for the Blind. Prof. Futrall, acting un. der the orders of what purports to be four members of the Board. refuses to deliver the institution to Prof. $. D. Lucas, who was elected by the Board. Prof Lucas Is stopping at the school each night. It is stated that on Tues. day night he presented himself at the school, and requested Prof. Futrall to have a place prepared for him to occupy until the Board meets Monday Prof. Futrall is said to have remarked that he could remaln at the school, but there were no accommodations for him Be that as it may, Prof. Lucas is spending the nights at the school, until the meeting oe the Board.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

z. ". Crew. Of Henry Clews & Co.
London was apparently unwilling to
follow our lead in bidding up prices
the quotations for most American
stocks being under our closing. One
weak spot is the unsatisfactory condi-
ton Of the copper metal market. But
a short time ago the mine owner was
proelsiming that 25-cent copper had
come to stay, owing to his inability 10
meet the enormous demand; to-day the
consumer apparently is unwilling 10
sign longtime contracts even at the
present low quotations The buIlish
sentiment which was prevalent yester-
day, seems TO have disappeared. due to
the fact that most of the transactions
were Of professional character Yes
terday the large traders got loaded up
with more stocks than they wanted"
G. Bowie Chipman. OF E. r. Chapman
& Co.-"The course of prices to-day bore
out the deduction that yesterdays ad-
vance was due to short covering and
manipulation. It cannot be said that
there was any particular pressure. and
the sagging movement was at all times
quiet. Insiders held alOof. and. for this
reason I would not advocate purchases
at the moment; that is, I would not If
the decline should continue with to-
days quiet dullness, but If under more
aggressive bear tactics, or the receipt
OF unfavorable news prices should
give way rapidly. I would then think
well of purchases"
Benz Woodruff. of Post & F1agg-
Soon after opening a drive was made
at prices, which carried stocks down a
little more than a point, and trading
became dull and little change In quo
tations occurred. After the decided i'm
provement of the last week it is only
natural that traders should take profits,
Sentiment has improved a good deal of
late, but there does not seem to be
much public disposition to follow up
advancing prices. but rather to wait
prepared to take advantage of any
sharp decline to secure stocks"
