ALLISON.

story of the Allison country. 1t is one
OF the finest sections of Colorado.
Until a few years ago 1t was a part
OF the Southern Ute Indian 'reserva-
ton. When opened the difficulty OF
getting water upon It. for a time, held
II back. Then II was that farmers
from Rocky Ford and elsewhere club
bed together, took up the lands. built
ditch, and began developing what
now certainly is to become one of the
choicest communities Of Colorado. Its
climate is fine, sheltered on the north
from heavy storms. with the south
west winds broken on a line of hills,
but open to the south. 1t has been the
wintering place for stock for years.
Its soil produces almost anything that
is grown in Colorado. and produces
1t well. Wheat oats. corn, peas, al
falfa. sugar beets, potatoes, apples,
pears. plums. cherries. peaches. But
the best thing about that country
said visitor. "is its people," New
settled countries do not always get
the best In this line. At this place
the human overflow left some OF the
best of people.
