A Short Presentation of the Advantages
Of Residence in the San Luis Valley
from the Farmers Standpoint

There a few people who will fight i'm
agnary enemies and make mountains out of

the uufavorublr is sufficient to shut ont forever

Such people their own enemies and if
they wer, wise they would hate themselves.
They will never know what it is to enjoy life
and be- prosperous for their Judgment is lacking
They deal in bugaboos and continuously allow
the same to cloud their vision that the good
is shut out from their view.
Such people are usually harmless, hut they
are also incompetent 10 accomplish anything
worth while They would rather live ON where
they now exist among the thunder and light
ming. the cyclones. the earthquakes the drouths

country where there may be possibility Of one

these lands are level, and all accessible to irri-
cation. On 40. so. 100. 800 or $40 acres of
land there is not single foot of waste every foot
being not only tillable but also productive.
There are portions of the San Luis Valley
where white akali shows in considerable guam
titles but this is true of the La Jara country.
While there is some of it in this vicinity, yet it
does not exist in such amounts as to be inJur-
ous to crops and these crops can be seen growing
in the worst of it. The chemical analysis of this
alkali shows it to be composed for the most part
of sodium sulphate which is not particularly
Objectionable. 1t does not iniure, but on the
other hand is a benefit to crops unless it exists
in too great quantity.
We mention this so that may come

instances, there being no stiff adobe. These

The great majority of our citizenship to-day
are clean straightforward conscientious, capa-
bile business men. Our farmer classes are
educated in the practical life even though they
may not have college rducutious and they are
not afraid to risk their Judgments when they are
convinced that they can better themselves
Such men succeed. for while they see the
drawbacks in any proposition. yet they are
capable of weighing out both sides and making
d decision which is safe to base their investment
upon
1t is to this latter class that desire to
present the advantages of new country from
the farming standpoint, yet one that has been
tried and found worthy. the greatest place for
homescckers to-day the San Luis Valley Of
Colorado.
No country ever existed that did not receive
the knock" of the dsgruntled. If We can believe
the scriptures. ouc-third of the angels of Heaven
kicked ON that place.
But the intelligent man, to whom are
now appealing, will trust his own judgment
rather than listen to such knockers" We are
therefore, going to dismiss the matter from our
minds and proceed
We do not claim that the San Luis Valley
is entirely perfect if it Were, everyone would
want to come here. What We do claim is that it
has as few disadvantages any proposition
before the public to-day; that it offers greater
opportunities for home building than any other
proposition we know of; that it offers as good
chance for investment as any other proposition
before the American people to-day; and We can
show you if you will let us
The intelligent man judges the value of the
land by the income he can derive from it, pro
vidcd there is any evidence TO be obtained on
the ground
We are fortunate in this respect. for the san
Luis Valley is not so young that We cannot show
what it is actually producing. The crops are ON

That crops seldom molested by frost, you can
ascertain by writing the State Agricultural Col
legc at Fort Collins Colo.
Owing to the fact that the valley is sur
rounded all sides by mountains, in which
heavy snow fall occurs in the winter, the water
supply is abundant. The Rio Grande. Conejos,
Alamosa. La Jara. Trnchcra and other smaller
rivers run through the valley. thus furnishing
water for irrigation purposes to those who have
been fortunate enough to secure water rights in
these streams.
The water used for house and ranch pur-
poses is artesian. There are three flows of
artesian water in the valley. The first is found
at "A depth of from 10 to 100 feet. AS the casing
is driven through soil all the way, first being
trimmed out by hydraulic washing, well of this
kind can be put down in about half day and
will cost from S25 to $50 The other flows
found at depths of approximately 200 and 400

part level. with gentle slope that admits of

The elevation is about 700 to 800 feet.
This of course, will cause the unduly wise TO
prick up their ears and look foxy Well. We

But now to the real issue You are going
to Judge the investment by the real income on

STORY OF GENERAL GRANT.
Incident of Their Globe Tour Told
by tho Great Soldiers Wife.

Incident of Their Globe Tour Told |
By tho Great Soldiers Wife.
Gen. Grants birthday recalls to |
mind many characteristic anecdotes OF
the Silent man" One that Mrs.
Grant used to delight in telling was
an incident that happened when they
made the famous trip around the
world. as they were going through the
Mediterranean, the Washington Post
says. She told 1t apropos of story
that was widely published of how the
general, during the Civil War, hap
pening into the home Of unionist
in the south, quieted a colicky baby by
walking 1t up and down the floor and
singing to it while the mother pre-
pared some chicken for his luncheon.
Now, Gen. Grant could neither sing
nor whistle; in fact, he could not turn
tune, and the story, therefore, was
made out of whole cloth. When they
we're sailing through the Mediterran-
can on the United States man-of-war
vandalia they passed the island cele-
brated in Homer's verse as the home
of the sirens, whittier Ulysses was de-
coyed by these seductive ladies.
AS their ship neared the island a
number of the officers abroad went to
Mrs. Grant and told her that she
should look to 1t that her husbands
ears were stuffed with cotton, lest he,
too, be enticed and led astray by the
singing of those same beautiful crea-
lures, whereupon Mrs. Grant laugh
ingly informed the alarmists that the
general was immune to the influence
of singing, since he did not know one
tune from another. But they insisted
that these creatures were so beauti
full that their faces, II not their voices
would win him Mrs. Grant, however
with brightness with which she wal
not always credited, replied tina
Homer's Ulysses had been deluded be
cause he had left his wife, Penelone
at home, while she, on the contrary
taking warning from that old tale
had accompanied her Ulysses, whom
she felt sure would be protected b.
her presence even from the allurer
who ensnared the classic Ulysses.
