THE NEWS PEACH STORY.

AS fitting example of the eX-
tent to which the Denver News
will stoop in any controversy in
which it may become involved, we
call attention to its little peach
story" of yesterday. In an article
on the first page, with flaming two
column red headlines, it screams
that the News has found the peach
that was grown in the valley 20
years ago and prints black daub
in the center of big red square
and calls it photograph of the
peach that has been preserved all
these years and which one of its
allies had purchased for the sum
of So.
Now, as a matter of fact, no one
claims that the San Luis valley is
adapted for the profitable raising
of peaches, but the News discover
ed where one of the land companies
that is selling valley lands had
printed paragraph stating that
Mr.. Travis had, in past years, even
grown a few peaches. The state
ment is absolutely true and Mr..
Travis stands ready to substan-
tiate it. But the News cares
little or naught for the truth of

JUST FOR INSTANCE.

The Denver News, in bowling
that no man can make a living on
less than from forty to one hun
.dred and sixty acres of San Luis
valley land, assiduously side-steps
any mention of the many record
breaking yields that have been
made by farmers in this valley.
Take for example the remarkable
returns our farmers receive from
growing potatoes and particularly
the crop of r. A. Chisholm, who
raised SAT! bushels of potatoes on
a single acre of ground. Perhaps
that wouldn't make living for IA
man, but let's see:
Five acres producing S475 bush
els of potatoes per acre would make
total of 4,2375 bushels. Forty
cents per bushel at harvest time
can always be relied upon and the
market is invariably much higher.
Figuring the market at 10 cents
per bushel, the gross receipts for
this five acre crop would amount
to 81 ,695 90.
Pretty good living, isn't it, when
you take into consideration that
the government statistics give $500
per year as the average amount
the farmers of the country live
upon?

ing. But in their present suffer
ings they are only cemented more
strongly than before with the rest
of Colorado. The 'rule or ruin"
methods that disrupted this state
for Is years, can easily enough be
converted into the advertise or

ishing newspaper; and, when j.
p. Lippincott-the owner of Lip
pincott's Magazine refused to
pay tribute to such principle. he
was inviting the kind of treatment
for his enterprise that it has
received. Mr.. Lippincott's disa-
bility was a lack of experience
with the ways of some few of us.
AS the owner of a great magazine
and publishing house, in Phila-
delphia, he doubtless thought that
Colorado would welcome any
capitalist who sought to take
part in its development; but he
was ignorant of one phase of our
teeming life; and he does not yet
understand why we submit to it.
OF course we protest occasionally,
as we did in the case of the lament

in San Luis valley has sounded

throughout the state. In protest

the fact that it is a good fruit
country hardly justified values of
two and three hundred dollars an
acre. Fruit being very uncertain
crop at best and the land being no
better for other farm products than
San Luis valley land, the per
centage of profit on farm invest

Saguache. Mosca, Motfat, Blanca,

appointed at mass-meeting of
citizens of the San Luis valley,
held at Alamosa, this 3lst day of
May, 1909, to draft resolutions
protesting against the past and
present unjust and unwarranted
attacks of the Rocky Mountain
News and Denver Times, on the
San Luis valley, respectfully sub
NIT the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Rocky Mountain
News and Denver Times have re-
peatedly and continuously for the
past several weeks published mali
cious and untruthful statements
concerning the San Luis valley
and especially regarding land
values and the advantages offered
here for homeseekers, and
Whereas, said papers have re-
sorted to every despicable method
known to yellow journalism in
vilifying our valley and many of
it's most honorable business men,
and
Whereas, the people of the San
Luis valley have demonstrated, by
winning first prizes on all kinds
of small grain. potatoes, and all
root crops, as well as live stock, in
competition with the entire world,
that the productiveness of our soil
is second to none, and
Whereas, the motive for these
scurrilous attacks are directly to
be traced to the desire on the part
of said newspapers to divert the
stream of immigration of home
seekers to this valley to other sec
tions of Colorado, where the pro-
prietor of these two great news
papers is extensively interested,
and
Whereas, the land of this entire
valley is exceptionally productive
and said attacks are injurious to
the welfare and prosperity of the
San Luis valley and the entire
population thereof, therefore be it
Resolved; that we, in unmeas-
ured terms. denounce and condemn
the pernicious course of The
Rocky Mountain News and The
Denver Times in their recent and
attacks upon the San
Luis valley, and demand i'll all
fairness a retraction.

Receive Singing Rebuke
San Luis Valley Citizens Gather From All Towns and
Pass Ringing Resolutions Condemnng the Unwar-
ranted Attack of These Papers Upon Our Rich and
Fertile Lands.

The mass meeting of San Luis
valley citizens, assembled at Ala
mosa last Monday night. gave a
splendid demonstration of the
merited indignation of the people
of the valley as result of the
pernicious course the Rocky
Mountain News and Denver Times
have pursued for the past month
in slandering the valley, presum-
ably for the purpose of injuring
the business of the several land
companies operating in the valley,
but more especially for the pur-
pose of diverting the vast number
of homeseekers that are headed
this way as a result of the adver-
tising the valley has received
through the agencies of these
companies, to other sections of
Colorado.
And in its fight upon the valley
the News and Times exultingly
proclaim, that all northern Colo
RADIO is with us y
How surprising!
The people of northern Colorado
and the owners of the arid plains
east of Denver are to be expected
to join in any crusade against the
southern end of the state if that
crusade may in any measure aid
them in settling up and disposing
of the thousands of acres i'll their
districts that are as yet unoccupied
by farmers. And, as no easier
method has as yet been presented
for the realization of their desires
than to grab the homeseekers who
have headed this way and must of
necessity pass through Denver
enroute to the valley, how per-
fectly astonishing then is the state
ment of the News that "all north
ern Colorado is with us
But such has ever been the
method of these papers. In en-
deavoring to justify their bitter
attacks upon the valley they re-
peatedly blaze the above state
ment and play up, with red head
lines, quotations from the papers
of these northern counties who
have axes of their own to grind.
That they are working a great
injury to the San Luis valley, they
well know. That they cannot fool
the people of the valley by their
belated announcements that their
only desire is to discredit the land
companies that refused to adver-
tise in their columns" and not to
injure the valley at all, they will
find ont.
Our people are not molly-coddles
and the following resolutions,
passed by representative men from
every section of the valley, with
out a dissenting voice or vote, is
the best possible evidence of the
true state of the resentment felt
here as a consequence of the un-
founded slander that these papers
have heaped upon us.

North Adams Doctor Has Experience
on Road to Stamford
( One of the we'll known young ply
sicians of North Adams met with a
long to be remembered experience
with a wild cat last evening near the
old county road in Stamford. He had
been called to that section on a case
and upon returning, the Wild cat fol
lowed his rig for over half an hour,
keeping up a series of blood curdling
cries at regular intervals during that
time.
The house at which the local ply
stefan called was situated on a
branch road which leads from the
old county turnpike between Far
MANS and Lesure's farms While
blanketing his horse before entering
| the house the doctor heard the first
sign of what was to be his future
travelling companion, a loud Shrek
coming from the nearby woods. The
people of the house at once declared
! that a wild cat was responsible for
! the noise.
The physician thought no more of
the incident until he started to re-
| turn home late in the evening. His
horse, which had been tied in shed
showed noticeable signs of fear when
the party came out of the house and
the cause of its fright was evident
a few moments later when another
Shrek came from the wildcat which
had prowled much nearer the house.
The doctor started to drive down the
hvn oh ha animal nrAnanH-
ed to follow.
At first the animal was content to
keep some distance in the rear of the
rig, but later It grew holder and drew
up nearer Every little while the cat
would let forth a long, unearthly vail
which the doctor compared with the
last cry Of a person who was being
stabbed TO death. After a time the
animal skunk along in the underbrush
