,fnE GREAT ARKANSAS VALLEY
AZ Viewed From IN Illinoisan's
Standpoint,

An audience large enough to
fill every seat assembled at Ur-
bans hall Saturday evening to
hear E. NJ. Goodwin's lecture on
the resources, possibilities and
results already obtained in the
great Arkansas Valley which is
situated in the eastern part Of
Colorado. This scope of country
-Ieo miles long-drained by the
Arkansas river and traversed by
the Santa Fe railroad system,
has a bright future, for there is
no longer any doubt as to the fer
tility of the soil and the certain
ty OF splendid yields of wheat,
sugar beets, alfalfa and canta-
loupes, to say nothing of such
products as potatoes, cabbages,
turnips, apples, peaches, pears,
plums and grapes. The climate
is mild, the atmosphere dry, pure
and healthful. Corn does fairly
well in that region, but does not
compare to Illinois-Illinois, the
speaker admitted, is the banner
state of the Union for corn rails
ing. During the course of his
talk, which continued for nearly
two hours, he was listened to at
tentively and we doubt not but
that he succeeded in making a
favorable impression upon his
hearers as to the advantages and
opportunities this comparatively
new belt of country offers to
homeseekers. Lack of sufficient
rainfall, the one great drawback,
has to great extent already been
overcome by irrigation, and how
systematically and successfully
this gigantic project was being
t-rzrried. out constituted very in
teresting and instructive part Of
the lecture. The Amity Canal
company has expended tho s,atsl
of $5,ooo,ooo for the purpose of
supplying this arid region with
water. How has this great en-
terprise thus far benefited the
farmers? 1t has enabled them to
! grow wheat that scales sixty-four
pounds to the bushel, raise three
crops of alfalfa in one year, pro-
duce the finest sugar beets in the
world and last but not least as
paying crop cantaloupes that sell
higher in the market than any
other kind of melon. Mr.. Good
win is fluent speaker and as
most Of his utterances were con-
else and to the point the large
number present doubtless went
to their homes feeling we'll re-

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The City Council met last Mon
day pursuant to adjournment, and
held a desultory session until late
hour discussing the various phases
of the wells for the new waterworks.
c. H. McVay of La Junta, who
has installed many of the Santa
Fe railroads wells, was present and
gave the Council some valuable in
formation relative thereto.
A petition signed by all the bust
ness men on Main street from the
First stNational bank to Boyd's store,
requesting permission to build and
operate watering trough for hors-
+,s. was read and referred to a COM
mittee for investigation.
The question of payment con-
sumed large portion of the even
ing, developing the fact that a
large number ofowners were willing
to proceed with the Wort, but as
there are number of nonresident
owners, the city clerk was instruct
ed to notify same and ascertain
their pleasure.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet next Monday.

HANDSOME GROUNDS.

The grounds surrounding the court
house are a lesson in civic improve
ment. Since the removal of the un-
slightly barns, sheds and outbuildings,
Sheriff McGillis has graded the
grounds on the north side, and has
one of the finest pieces of lawn in
the city. It looks as though it had
been sodded. it is so thick with
grass. The trees have all been
trimmed and everything is neat and
well kept. There are 1875 trees out
side the grounds planted this spring
and every one is living. In a few
years this square will be one of the
most attractive spots in the city il
lit gets the care it is getting now
Ali the work has been done by pris
oners without any expense to the
county. We doubt If any other coun
ty seat in the state has as beautiful
grounds surrounding their court house
as Bismarck.
