Trading for Colorado

Editor Holly Chieftain:

Editor Holly Chieftain:
l thought few words of advice
to my farmer friends who are liv-
ing under the Amity canal might
be Of interest at this time, to let
them know how some of their
friends were disposing Of their
homes to parties living in Colo
rado Springs and getting virtually
nothing in return for their land
except a property there that is
mortgaged for equally as much, if
not more than the cash value of
the property. ! will give an illus
tration of one deal.
James Kalma, livinga half-mile
south of the Parrish beet dump,
traded his farm for house and
lot. Mr.. Kelma's 40 acres was
valued in this trade at $4,000. The
property that he took in exchange
was valued at $4,000. He owed
$1,000 on his land and was taking
the Colorado Springs property
subject to a mortgage of $4,000.
l heard Of this deal and called Mr.
Kalma's attention to it and told

him | had good reasons to believe
the property in question was not
worth more than $1,000, and if he
would come to Colorado Springs
and look the property over care
fully, and make di'igent inquiries
thereto, he would find the property
to be worth about $4,000. He took
my advice and he will tell you the
value l had put on it was fully as
high as anyone living there would
appraise 1t.
Now it doesn't take man long
to figure out what Mr.. Kalma got
for his equity. He was simply
buying the Colorado Springs prop
erty at its full value and actually
giving away his equity! Anyone
who is posted on the value of land
in the Holly country will agree
with me that Mr.. Kalma's farm is

CANNON DEFENDS HIMSELF
WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A CAT
IN HE'LL WITHOUT CLAWS
HAD HE REMAINED PASSIVE

Philadelphia, Dec. 2l-Joseph G..
Cannon, speaker OF the national house
Of representatives in an address at
the annual banquet of the New Jersey
society OF Pennsylvania here last
night. aroused his hearers by taking
an unexpected fling at his critics and
defending his policies and the manner
in which the house was ruled at the
last session.
In the chapter OF accidents I be-
came speaker of the house" said Mr..
Cannon.
When the minority undertook TO
control the majority they were met
with a refusal from the majority and
the speaker The speaker would have
been like a cat in hell without claws
If he had not fought against such
usurpation.
Rules were formulated for the
government OF the house. Those rules
were right and proper. Under them
the house wrote wise and proper legis-
lative measures on the statute books.
There were wild howls from par
tia and selfish newspapers and maya
zines because the cZar did not remove
II per cent ad valorem on print pa
per ard. wood pulp. They said they
wanted II reduced because the cost
Of print paper and wood pulp had in
creased 80 per cent, but they could
not show that the increase was due
to the duty, and the speaker refused
10 alolw the duty 10 be removed
They were ashamed Mr.. Cannon
said, turning 10 Viye President-elect
James 5. Sherman. who was a guest
with him at the function, "to explain
that this was the real reason for
their bounding during your campaign
and mine They forgot that the
speaker could be removed any day or
hour. They forgot that nothing could
be done without the will of the ma
1ority. They enlisted the great head
of the American Federation of La
bor. and the Anti-Saloon league, but
the great republican party was vic
torious and the government will go
on"
He added that he was still speaker
OF the house.

he is back in his seat in congress.
the session will be more than half
over. 1t will then be far too late to
begin the construction of a bill that
is OF such proportions as a rivers and
harbors bill naturally would be.
OF course the bill could be con-
structed all right, but the time nee.
essary 10 get such a piece Of legis.
lation through both houses OF con.
gress would be too short. This seems
10 be the opinion OF those closest in
touch with the rivers and harbors
legislation, and also the politicians
who are watching the OHIO senatorial
fight
Added 10 these conditions is the
deficit reported by the seer
the treasury amounting to over fifty
million dollars, with an estimate of
hundred million deficit next year.
With this condition of finance staring
them in the face. the leaders of the
dominant party do not feel inclined
TO add a new budget that would be
OF the proportions that river and har-
Dor Improvement demand. OF course,
n bill OF this character might be
whipped into shape and passed, but
the prospects for it are not bright
at this time.

PlA11lNATIONALP PARK
BILL HAS BEEN INTRODUCED BY
FERRIS FOR $4,000 ADDITION
AL FOR IMPROVEMENTS

gresham Scott Ferris detailed
statement OF the improvements that
are proposed 70 be made at Plat

tendent. his clerk and rangers in th1

park was s27,777 on the first day
Of last July.
The secretary states that the new
improvements which have become
necessary within the past few months
are a fence around the deer park
that will cost 50 900, a double track
steel wagon bridge at Davis avenue
will cost $4,000 and rock arch
bridge over sulphur creek will cost
5000 This will leave only $4,000

than enough 10 pay the salaries OF

Improvement and maintenance or
this park during the fiscal year 1910.

NO RIVER IMPROVEMENT
NO HOPES FOR ANY APPRoPRlA-
TloN FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
RIVERS IN STATE NOW

Washington Dec. 22.-Very little
hope is now expressed by those most
interested that there will he an ap-
prations for the improvement OF
the Arkansas river in Oklahoma this
congress And by the same token
there will be no money appropriated
for the Improvement Of other rivers,
except to continue work already un-
der way and only that which Is alb
so'utcly necessary AT that.
Congressman Theodore Burton OF
Ohio is chairman OF the committee
on rivers and harbors. He Is also the
man who fi'allv decides whether an
appropriation shall he made for any
particular project. for he Is right on
the fob when the appropriations are
actually made, and none get by
without his final O X.
Congressman Burton has not
drawn rivers and harbors bill
Neither have the members Of the sub
committee Of this COMMITTEES drawn
such bill, Mr.. Burton has left
Washington and he will not he back
until after the state OF Ohio decides
whether Mr. Burton or Mr.. Chas. p,

senate. That will be some time In
January And there Is no one with

PLANT PECAN TREES.

In casting about for profitable
sources Of revenue TO supplement his
income from staple crops, the Texas
farmer should not overlook the p,.can
tree. From the fact that native ne.
can trees are generally found growing
along water courses Il was for
long time thought that they would
not thrive on the uplands. but expert.
ence has proven this opinion 10 be
unfounded, and II is now n demon.
siraied fact that they will grow al.
most anywhere in Texas and on al.
most any kind OF soil that has a clav
subsoil. Another popular notion. now
happily exploded was that II was i'm
practicable 10 transplant the pecan
tree and that the time required 10
bring tree into profitable bearing
from the planted nut was too long 10
Justify the effort Such progress has
been made by the horticulturists I'm
recent years that today every first
class nursery I'm the gulf coast stotes
carries a supply Of young pecan trees
and they are being transplanted hy
thousands, and the percentage of loss
Is no greater than with other trees
And along with other discoveries
successful methods have been found
for successfully grating and budding
improved varieties OF nuts on the
Young trees, So that today one NAV
buy a . or 3-yearold grated pecan
tree which will come into bearing I'm
four years, and which in six or seven
years will De Welding surprisingly
large revenue 10 the owner.
Nor is this all that has been ne.
complishcd by the pecan tree experts.
Hy what Is known as the "top.work.
ing system, they can within three
years transform grove OF old trees
bearing small low priced nuts into
bearers OF the finest and most eN.
penslvc nuts. This IS done by cutting
out the tops OF the old trees and
budding tho improved varieties on
the tender shoots put forth just below
the cut Many OF the larger limbs Of
the tree are then cut away end the
'ull strength and vigor Of the tree
thus goes into the buddcd growth.
with the result that I'm the second or
third wear profitable crop OF the
improved pecans can he gathered.
NOT content with this achievement
these experts have converted barren
trees into prolific producers hy the
same system and are now turning
their attention 20 the hickory nut.
scaly bark and pig nut trees, and
some very successful joxr~rlmeuts
have been made I'm transforming them
into pecan bearers.
The price Of pecans is steadily ad-
vaucing, and there is no danger Of
glut IN the market, as the nuts are
Just now becoming known through
ont the north and east and are prac-
ticglly unknown in Europe, Thus with
"a steadily expanding market the
price is certain 20 increase, and as
no cultivation IS required after the
first few years after planting. the
wise farmers who plant pecan or.
chards now will in the near future
reap a rich harvest. A few acres OF
