OUR GARDEN OF EDEN.
Over Ono Thousand Acres Already
Under cuitivation-Hundreds More
to Experience the Same Fate.

We had the pleasure Of an automo-
bile ride Thursday morning through
the prospective Garden Of Eden. To-
Gated Immediately adjacent to La
Junta on the east. The trip took US
to the furthermost boundaries, and
to say that we were surprised by the
improvements that have been made
is expressing it mildly. Acres and
acres of mother earth have been
plowed up during the past month.
and much of 1t Is already seeded.
There is one tract Of 100 acres all in
a bunch and all planted in alfalfa.
There is another tract Of seventy
acres all in oats, and the oats are
actually up and visible to the naked
eye. 1t is q sight that would do the
eyes of any old knocker good, and
probably convince him that crops Will
grow under the extension Of the
Otero canal.
There are numerous patches OF gar
den truck surrounding the dozen or
more residences, with real onions
radishes and other household necessi'
ties in plain sight. At the present
moment there are 1880 acres OF
plowed ground east Of La Junta that
never before experienced the sensa,
ton Of being flooded with the light
oe day. Twenty-Five teams. by actual
count, we're engaged in plowins ana
drilling, and before the present year
IN \ month older there Will be al
least 1900 acres Of plowed grouno
east Of Ia Junta that was never oe'
fore tickIed By . ploughshare- Every
acre Of land for distance OF Two
miles east Of King arroyo and sou'n

Mr.. Amend is an expert In his line,
and has plenty of business at the
to last Tuesday evening. driving over
land from Nebraska for distance
Of 225 miles. and making the trip
over very bad roads in Just eight
days. He started to work at once
building a house and engaged men
to plow up his forty acre tract.
J. l.. Estes. recent arrival from
Oklahoma, moved on to his forty acre
tract Thursday morning. Mr.. Estes
was the victim of a cyclone in Okla
homa once upon a time. and he has
built his house on the side Of q
hill, where it is well protected In case
Old Boreas should ever take a no.
ton to get on rampage In this
section. The house is virtually an
chored to the ground, Mr.. Estes de-
Gliding to take no chances on waking
up some fine morning and finding
himself and all his household effects
in an adjoining county. Mr.. Estes
is well satisfied with his conditions
and prospects, although some of the
local knockers tried their best to dis
courage him by telling him that there
had never been any water In the
otero canal, never would be any and
never could be. Mr.. Estes happened
to be wiser than the knockers knew.
as he was here early in the year.
while water was running in ihe
otero and flooded every foot of his
forty acre tract.
Knockers landed one bunch Of two
farmers from Illinois. however. and
the whole tribe packed up and went
back to where they came from the
first Of the week. They plowed up
every acre Of ground which they pur-
chased, and because the crops did
not come up over night packed up ant
went back home. They hired an
eastern attorney, who knew as much
about irrigation as q hog does about
Latin. and threatened to sue the La
Junta Land Company. The lawyer
claimed that irrigating land from .
reservoir 200 miles distant was .
pipe dream and too ridiculous to be
even considered. The water would
all be mist and foam by the time It
reached La Junta. After he came to
colorsdo and found out somethire
about irrigation he changed his mind
and advised his clients that they had
mo case. What he said in private
.bout them would not look well in
prfnt. 20 We forbear. The Illinois
ans. however, have gone back home.

already been picked up q : snap ~

MODEL FOOD FACTORIES

Won His Fight in Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Food
Commissioner Barnard, of Indiana, Is
rejoicing in the successful passage
and enactment of his model sanitation
bill for food factories, which he and
his associates. as committee of the
Mackinac conference of last summer,
drafted for submission in the several
states. Manufacturers, even who are
favorably disposed toward sanitation
Of their factories, regard it as esra-
cially rigorous and annoying, but Mr..
Barnard is charmed. In letter to a
supporter in this vicinity he says:
1T is the elimination of the efforts
of the consumers and food officials of
this country in their crusade or pure
food, and in my opinion is the most
satisfactory food legislation enacted
in this country since the passage of
the federal food law. The provisions
are very stringent l call your atten-
ton to sections 2, s. 7, 6, and 8 as re-
curing conditions which have hitherto
been rarely obtained in food-produc-
ing establishments. The meas
ure is before the legislature of many

meeting in the city hall or auditorium

and pastors will hold similar services
at the same hour. In the saloons, or
in jails or penitentiaries, Mr.. and Mrs

The campaign will not only be an
impetus to Christian churches in the
Orient, but will extend the gospel to
hundreds of thousands who have never
heard the Word. In Hongkong alone
more young men pass in and out than
in any port on the globe, and to most
of them the Christian religion proba-
