SMALL FARMS

Messrs. b. L. Moore, D. j. h.
Raulstone and r. O. BALKAN have
been in town the past week, clos
ing the deal on the Harvey ranch.
The general policy Of this CON-
pany will be to cut up the large
tracts of land in the vicinity of La
lara and sell them out to actual
settlers in from 40 to l6O-acre
farms.
Besides the purchase of the Har-
vey ranch, this company has OBJ.
tanned many options on the best
lands around La lara and will
hereafter make the interests of
this portion of the San Luis val.
ley their interests. Little farms
we'll titled are what make the best
returns. -Chronicle.
The San Luis Valley News,
published at the growing town of
Blanca, talks very plainly on the
failure to get water onto certain
lands in that section in time to
save crops. An agreement was
made by Joseph B. Harrison to
get the water there in time, but it
appears that the contractors, doing
all they could to comply with the
contract, have failed.

The money for building came from

no regular set of books thus far have
been opened.
Simply as matter of business and
that all those who are contributors to
the building fund may know just
how their money is being expended
it would not be at all out of place
to have the books fully exported.
