State Road Accepted.

j. w. Houston, deputy state
engineer. was here Tuesday and
on behalf of the state accepted the
new Sanford Manassa road. This
road extends straight east from
La Jara to Sanford and two miles
east of La Jara branch extends
south to Manassa. Mr.. Houston
accompanied by County Commits
sioner Norland made thorough
inspection of the road and pro-
nounced it an excellent piece of
work. He compDimented the con-
tractors on the thorough and work
manlike manner in which they
had performed their task and
though the road is now dry and
dusty as is the case with all new
work of the kind, he said that in
course of time as it settled and
hardened up it would be one of the
best drives of its kind in the state.
giving the citizens complete salts
faction.
The road was built by w. O.
Crowther, jess Mortensen, Ira B.
and Job FL, Whitney of Sanford.
The appropriation was obtained at
the last session of the Legislature
by Representative c. HI. Wilder.
1t cost 81, $50 and cuts out some
very bad mud holes.

: U U T LIN IT NM,
La Jara, Colo.

w. A. Anderson. head of the firm
of Anderson, Ord g. Swope, Colo
RADIO Springs railroad and irrigation
contractors, was here Thursday
bringing in several men to lay
water pipe at the La Jara reser-
voir. Mr.. Anderson's firm is also
building series of reservoirs near
Eastdale, and it is said that con-
tracts held by the firm there
amount to nearly 100000. Prairie
dogs and gophers are very numer-
Gus around the camps and eat all
the grain which rightfully belongs
to the horses. Biosulphate of car
bon placed in the burrows is being
used with good success in extermi
mating the pests.
Thieves of small caliber have
been plying their trade around La
Jara for some months and many
small losses have been reported.
Last night they were more active
than usual and no less than four
business houses were entered. At
the carpenter shop of Middleton
Bros. five saws and lot of other
tools We're taken. AT the Dew
Drop-lnn, a slot machine and cash
register were pilfered but only a
few nickles obtained. A half
dozen bottles of whiskey and about
the same number of beer were
taken. The thieves broke a pane
of glass in the front door of the
Club saloon but were evidently
frightened away from there as no
further damage was done. Judge
McCunnitf's office was entered,
the burglars having key to
fit the door, the judges safe being
left with the combination only
partially turned, was opened and
the books and papers it contained
were strewn over the floor. The
judge does not rely upon his
strong box to hold his money,
fortunately, and there was nothing
doing in financial way. 1t would
seem that the work is being done
by someone living in this vicinity
and if they do not soon mend their
ways, a penitentiary term will be
their end.

A Great Family Reunion

A notable social event of the past
week was the reunion of the Mort.
ensen family at Sanford on We'd
nesday evening last. A sumptuous
table was spread in the Sanford
Social hall for rs to 100 people, all
of whom were relatives except ye
writer of this article. After the
feast program of speeches and
songs and social games was rem
dered, the entertainment conclud-
ing with dancing.
The occasion was oae of unusual
interest in certain respects. Twen-
ty-two years ago three Mortensen
families came to Conejos county,
and now their descendants and rel
atives in the San Luis valley num-
Der ISL. Fifty-two years ago their
ancestor Peter Mortensen, with
family comprising a wife, four sons
and four daughters. crossed the
plains to Utah. and today in the
inter mountain region adjacent,
and in Mexico, their descendants
number over 460.
The Sanford branch of this Won
derful family include many very
prominent citizens of our county,
and the social and literary program
of last Wednesdays reunion dem
onstrated that no inconsiderable
amount of talent, literary and mus
ical, is possessed by some of the
members. Lars Mortensen, the
oldest member present, aged 81,
was master of ceremonies and play
ed the leading violin for the dance
music. He is leader both of the
Sanford Silver Band and of the
Sanford Orchestral Band. His
son-in-law, Professor King briggs.
took charge of the singing at the
family reunion. He is author of
the opera Navajo Princess" re-
Gently presented in Alamosa, San
ford, Manassa, and elsewhere in the
county, most of the performers in
the role being of the Mortensen
family. All the numbers of the
program, musical and otherwise,
We're therefore of high merit, and
the occasion was most enjoyable.
1t suggests that the custom, if
more general in other families,
could be conducive of great results
in cementing family ties, and per
fecting greater domestic happiness
and union.

The Tw0-Way Plow.

ent there has been a growing de-
mand for pillow that will turn the
furrow either to the right or to the
left. The side hill plow has done
very good work in its place, but it
is worthless on level land This
type of pillow has but single
mould board. which is invertible,
that is, when one side is up, the
furrow is turned to the right, and
when the other side is up, it is
turned to the left. With pillow of
this kind the operator is able to be-
gin plowing at the bottom of hill
across the slope and turn all fur
rows down, the slope aiding in the
operation.
At present there are several plow
manufacturers making what is call
ed the two-way plow This is made
i'll both the mould board and disc
types. With it the operator is able
to plow level land as well as hill
side land 1t is often of double
plow construction; one plow turns
the furrow to the right, and is used
but one way across the field, the
other turns the furrow to the left
and is used inthe opposite direction.
The disc is usually made rever-
sible, one disc doing the work in
either direction by simply chang
ing its angle.
These two-way plows are some
what heavier and slightly more
complicated than the ordinary one
way pillow. For many conditions,
they have several points of advan-
tage as follows:
First, all the plowed land is kept
in one body.
Second, the ground is left in
racticalLy as level condition after
plowing as it was before. There
are no back burrows or dead fur
rows. The operator begins work
on one side of the field and finishes
the entire field as he goes.
Third, there is no oextra travelling
across the ends.
Fourth, the ground is left in ex-
cellent condition for irrigation con-
ditions. H. Nj. Banner,

Capulin growers sold several

good money in feeding sheep in the
valley this winter but, unfortunate
ly, comparatively few peas were
planted and only about 100000
sheep will be fed as against three
or four times that many last year.
This condition is due to the deplor-
able market conditions of last year
when the market was high in the
fall and low in the spring, the feed
ers losing much money. This year
the conditions bid fair to be re-
versed. but sad to say but few farm
ers are in a position to take advan-
tage of them.
