MadOre Cushman Dead.

One of the best known charac-
tiers up Encampment way for
many years was Madore Cushman,
who died at Brownsville, Ore, on
the Sth, inst. He owned a ranch
some five or six miles up between
the forks of the Encampment riv-
er, and led the life of a recluse,
and was undoubtedly the "hermit"
portrayed in "Grandon Of Sierra"
the popular western novel by q +.
Winter, of Encampment.
Mr.. Cushman had lived on his
ranch in the mountains for seven
teen years, and was a great lover
of animals. AT one time he had a
herd of seventeen or eighteen elk.
Last fall he sold his ranch to Pey-
ton X. Davis, and came to Sarato-
ga to live. From here he went to
Brownsville last January, at which
place he continued to reside up to
the time of his death. He had
been seriously afflicted with par
alysis, but was improving, and the
day before his death said he felt
better than for some time. On
the morning of the Sth, when they
went to his room, he was dead, ev-
identity having passed away sever
| al hours before.
Mr.. Cushman was well and fav-
| orably known in the valley, and
had many friends, though his soil
tary life had made him somewhat
peculiar. He wore a full beard
and it is a remarkable fact that
his face had never known a razor.
He was a mystic, and was accredit-
ed with both the power of clairvoy-
ance and clairaudience.

24TH
ARB0R DAY
Holiday that Commentaries the
Future Instead of the
Past.

Governor Brooks has issued a
proclamation setting aside Friday,
the 24th day of April, rs Arbor
Day.
Ordinary holidays" he says,
commemorate something that is
past; but OH this day our citizens
gladly perform services of inesti.
mable value to future generations.
This is a great scholastic festival,
and every school child has the dis
tinguished privilege of planting a
tree OIL vine which for all time will
inspire and benefit humanity"
That is a beautiful sentiment
and if every child in Saratoga
would plant a tree and then see to
it that it was watered and protect
ed until its roots could grow down
to moisture, it would work a revo-
luton in Saratoga, as well as in
every othertown where the custom
prevailed.

L.. w. Killing came to this valley

on land along the North Platte
river, just north of the ranch of
Capt. l.. G.. Davis, where he built
up a valuable ranch and owned

This is the Quantity
of Land Covered
By Canal.
Construction means the Opening
up and Settlement of Large
Area Of Good Land.

The article published in last
weeks Sun, giving the information
concerning the large canal which
Is to be built on the east side of
the river by Iowa capital, is per-
haps the most important bit of
news given Sun readers for many
months.
The opening up of this large
body of fertile land to settlement
means more to Saratoga than any
thing which has taken place here
since the coming of the railroad
into this valley. 1t means 500
homestead entries within the next
four years and the coming of set
tiers to reclaim the desert and
make it blossom as the rose. 1t
means the building up of many
enterprises that follow and wait
upon the man who tills the soil
The construction of this canal
will call for an expenditure of
from 100000 to 100000. Its
length will be between twenty-five
and thirty miles, and it will bring
practically all of the land between
Saratoga and the Medicine Bow
range of mountains under water.
The soil in this land is as good as
the best in the state and there will
be demand for homesteads Oh it as
soon as the canal is an assured fact.
This irrigation proposition is
considered to be one of the best in
carbon county, as well as in the
state, situated as it is SO near the
headwaters of the North Platte
|nver. There are numerous tribu-
|~laries to the river along the east
side, the waters of which a be
lmpounded at food in the many
reservoir sites above the line of
the ditch, thus assuring an abund-
snce of water during the entire ir-
Flgating season. Crops of alfalfa,
Wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes,
sugar beets, etc, can be grown
here, as we'll as all kinds of veget-
sbles and small fruits, This large
body of land is admirably adapted
Tor homes. and will, before many
Years, be the scene of great in
dastry and prosperity.
