COSTILLA GRANT
Colorado Springs Men Start
Work on Large Irrigation
Enterprise at Eastdale.

w. A. Anderson was here this
week on reservoir business. He
bought a number of teams. hired
five or six men and sent them uI
to the La lara reservoir which is
to undergo extensive repairs. A
couple of loads of cement and
several more of lumber were
among the purchases.
Mr.. Anderson later went to East
dale where he and his associates
are building large irrigation
system for the purpose of water
ing portion of the Costilla grant
recently purchased by them. This
syndicate of Colorado Springs
capitalists bought $4,000 acres of
land from the Costilla estate. said
to be good agricultural land and
the best part of the tract, paying
not much more than 81 an acre.
The land is situated in New Mex
leo and Colorado close to the Rio
Grande river and a portion of the
tract is to be irrigated with waters
from the La lara according to +.
r. Stark.
This gentleman states that
the La Jara reservoir, is to
be purchased by the syndicate.
Flood waters stored in the La .Jara
reservoir are then to be permitted
to flow down the Rio La Jara
thence into the Rio Grande, to be
taken out on the eastern bank Of
the latter stream, something like
10 miles from the reservoir, for the
purpose of watering the Costilla
lands. There are people who dis
pute that this can be legally done
but one of the representative of
the reservoir company states that
they have looked up the law on
the subject and are positive as to
their rights in the matter
A reservoir for the storage of
water natural to the tract, a dam
across the Rio Grande, a railroad
from IA point in New Mexico to
Fort Garland, are other details of
the enterprise. the plans for which
are drawn on very pleasing scale,

prospective ticket purchasers before
each excursion day ito bring the
right change" is very sound doc
trine. When about hundred peo-
Pile crowd up to the window just a
few minutes before train time and
each one hands out big bill for a
75-cent ticket it would require a
dozen ticket sellers with much pa
tience and small sized bank to
provide change.
We conclude from the large num-
ber of freights, many with two en-
gines. running by both night and
day and the number of lone engines
cavorting up and down the track
that either the ID. q. r. G. is ex-
periencing big run of business or
else trying to consume their supply
of coal.
Mr.. Anderson of the reservoir
construction company, and IA Bryan
man from Oklahoma, were talking
politics" in the depot Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Anderson, who is an
unusually well posted man and a
rare director of large business enter
prises, declared he would be glad
to give 81 900 to be assured that
Bryan would not be elected.
A local company desired men
last week to shovel coal Two
strangers came along enquiring for
work and were engaged. They
were taken down to the siding and
introduced to car OF coal, where
upon their desire for work shrank
to nothingness and they declared
they didn't care to work. There
are too many people in this world
who would work if it wasn't work
They want soft snap, cinch, a
job with naught to do. Shoveling
coal is hard job you've got to
keep at it persistently all day to ac-
complish anything. There isn't
any waiting to be done. and while
it is hard and dirty college men
have been known to shovel coal
Men with plenty of means who hate
to be idle prefer heaving coal to
sitting in idleness.
A little tot of fellow, an en-
bryonic cavalier if you please, had
been in the habit of calling on and
playing with a little maid across
the way One day the little maid
was made happy with little
brother Her friend across the
way did not come to play and when
he was joked about it said: 20,
she's got another fellow now"
The question how much coal can
man heave out of car in day
was presented to some local shovel
ers one day recently when an old
time coal shoveler was telling how
many cars he used to heave out in
IA day-we don't remember just how
many but it would have made ii
small train of narrow guage cars.
The local shovelers decided that to
have accomplished so much in day
one would need one of those long
days beyond the Artic circle, and
the next day be Sunday.

THE ENTHUSIASTIC FAN

(Written for the Ocala Banner.)
I cut my northern trip this year
l will not go at all.
Although I'm fond of fun and noise,
1t was my calm, deliberate choice
To stay and go with all the boys
To see our nine play ball.
The "choo, choo' train sounds
mighty good
When starting on a trip.
To where the sun is not so warm.
The gay mosquitoes do not swarm.
To happy days down on the farm
1t makes me want to skip.
But this is not a circumstance.
Twill be far wilder fun
To hear our fans big loud "haw .haw, Is
And yet again their low "guffaw."
To see them then the glad air paw
When our boys pound out a run.
The whole of Leesburg will be here
On the great and glorious Fourth
And if our boys just get to make
An 1S-karat play,
%, maybe We won't yell few
And thump each other black and blue
And wipe glad tears away.
4 cannot wear this suit much more
(My wife says, not at aI;)
I'd like to buy a Panama hat,
But though my pocketbook is fat.
I'll cheerfully ignore all that.
And see our boys play ball.

HONOR TO DEAR OLD MOTHER

Time has scattered the snowy fake
upon her brow, ploughed burrows in
her cheek. and lips are thin and
shrunk, but those are lips which have
kissed away many a hot tear from
the childish cheek, and they are the
sweetest lips in the world. The eye
is dim, yet it glOws with a soft radi-
anCe of holy love that can never fade.
Oh, yes, she is dear old mother. The
sands of time are nearly run out, but
feeble as she is, she will go further
and reach down lower for you than
anyone on earth You cannot walk in
TO a midnight where she cannot see
you: YOU cannot enter q prison where
bars will keep her out: you can never
mount a scaffOld too high for her to
reach and bless you with her deathless
love. When the world despises and
fOrsakes You by the wayside to die
unnoticed. the dear old mother will
gather YOU in her feeble old arms and
carry you home and tell you of al
your virtues until you almost forget
that your soul is disf1gured by vice
Love her tenderly and cheer her de
clining years with devOtion.-Enid

MONSTER POLITICAL FIGHT IN
TENNESSEE

A special from Memphis says that
not in the memory of the oldest Ten
nesseean has this state known so hot
a campaign for the governorship as
that which closed Friday. Former
United States Senator Carmack is the
opponent of Governor Patterson, who
/ is seeking denomination. Joint de-
bates between the opposing candi-
dates have been held in many places
throughout the state and have serv-
ed TO excite the political fever of the
voters to a white heat. The question
of prohibition has been injected into
the campaign. with a majority Of the
crusaders under the milk white ban
ner lining up with Senator Carmack.
Patterson was first elected for a
term Of two years on a platform that
pronounced for local option, for hon
est elections and for a recall of the
back assessment law. His defenders
declare that he has been faithful to
his pledges and that he is fairly en-
titled TO another term. by all the rules
Of precedent.
CarmaCk, who was a senator for six
years, and was defeated for a second
term, has rallied to his support a ma
jOrity of the temperance people and
the more radical element of the par
| ty. His platform is very similar to
that of Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia,
who was recently defeated in the pri-
maries of the state. If Carmack should
be elected it is likely that a demand
for statewide prohibition would i'm
lmediately follow. The state is already
dry" except for the large cities.
Much Abuse
The campaign just closed has been
marked by much vituperation and in
vectives on both sides. The records
of both candidates have been raked
over with a fine tooth comb.
1t is alleged that Carmack, who is
now supported by the prOhibitiOnists
and radical element, once described
them as political Migrants and tramp
patriots, as motley a crew as ever
trOd the deck of a privateer ship. or
huddled together in the cave of Adul-
lum." OF the pOpulists. who are now
supporting him. Carmack said: They
are a cussin' club, whose platform is
dammit" The prOhibitiOnists. now
| Carmack's bosom friends. he once de
lnounced as a "wild-eyed band of pa
triots, made drunk with the rot-gut
harangue of demagOgue leaders, and
as "a receptacle for all the refuse and
turnip-tOps of politics"
Governor Patterson, too, is accused
by the Carmack followers of too alum
dant language, one of the phrases
which has risen to torment him re
ferring to newspaper men as pin
headed editors"
