BOPLE'S STORY DENIED.
Malicious Lie Say Nr. WhitLa and
Hr. FOrker.

sharon Penn May 10-Au Sharon was a.
founded to-day when the statement was made
by James Boyle duplicating Harry Forker in
the whitla Kidnapping and using his name in
connection with alleged murder in Youngs-
town. Mr.. Forker declared the intimations
although without the slightest foundation were
not new to him. as he had understood for some
time that such statement was threatened.
Mr. whitla was greatly vexed when he
learned Of the publication Of the statement.
He pronounced the whole story malicious
falsehood.
Sloss. the janftor Of the school from which
Willie whitla was taken. insists that Boyle
was the man who called for the boy and took
him away in the buggy. He does not believe
the Boyle statement.

Mr.. Forker. There is nothing to it. I only
know Boyle as I know other members Of his
family, as residents of Sharon. have never
had any dealings with him do not know the
woman who is said 10 be his wife. I can con-
ceive Of no reason why Boyle should make such
statement unless il be to get even with the
whitls family for his prosecution following the
abduction. Boyle never showed any let
ters Boyle did not see me IN Cleveland. The
whole story is wilful, malicious and SANDER
Gus lie"
Mr.. whitla denies absolutely that any such
deal with Boyle occurred.
The whole statement he said, "is a wilful
and malicious lie" He called the statement
given out by Boyle ret and scandal" and
denied IL throughout in the most emphatic
terms.

Water on Richfield Tract

Water has not been delivered over
the entire tract, it is true. The un-
usually severe winter prevented much
of the outdoors work that is usually
carried on at this season, so that the
expected progress was not made. But
water will be available all over the
tract within a very short time, so that
that settlers can irrigate their fields
as if they had had done nothing else
all their lives.
The big cOulee near town is to be
used as a permanent water way for
the water for the Dietrich tract. 1t
empties into the Little Wood river,
just above the intake for the Die
trich ditch which is on the south
side of the river. The coulee may
need to be straigtened somewhat, and
perhaps enlarged in it's carrying ca
pacity at certain points, but in the
main it is a fine channel for the pur-
pose. 1t has stood there for nobody
knows how long-it may be a cen
tury, it may be for $4,000 years
and all that time it has carried the
food waters that come from the
melting SHOWS of spring. 1t may be
that 1t has not in ages carried as
much water as it will carry in sin
gle yer for the Dietrich project, but
it could have done so, and it will do
it now.
Settlers who have been holding
off on their final proof, waiting for
the coming of water, can be assured
that water is already beiug deliv-
cred on this part OF the tract, and
that it will be all over the Richfield
section in good time for them to
proceed with their proof for this sea-

Water in the ditchesl

Water in the bitches!
Wet stuff, aqua pura, the delight
of the farmer, the bane of the Bour-
bon lover, the stuff that makes the
clouds and the rivers and the seas,
that paints the green of the earth
and the blue of the sky, that gives
the bloom to the rose and the grain
to the fields-water, flowing free as
air down the coluees, through the
bitches, and wherever you vast it
or are ready for it on the Richfield
tracti
The water was turned into the big
coulee near town, the last of last
week, and has been coursing merrily
down to Little Wood river ever since.
The entire ditch system is not quite
finished, it is true, but there is ac-
tually water traversing the tract, and
the farmers on the hungry, thirsty
land can have it for their field and
garden, as soon as their own laterals
are Icduy
1t means much to the farmers here
to have the water within reach. 1t
has been great job, getting the
canals through to their present stage
of completion. There are no better
canals anywhere, than those which
supply the Richfield lands. The yard
age of rock and dirt that has been
excavated would astonish even the
heaviest construction experts. The
work has been well done. There is
no flaw in it; 1t should be as good in
a century as it is today, and if so, 1t
should be even better thousand
years hence than right now-for 1t

over and protected by trees, it should

be of great benefit to Richfield as
nothing speaks better for town than
good churches and good schools. This
first church, however, is just a start
er, for once church building starts,
other denominations will follow in
rapid succession, until all denomina-
tions will be represented with good
church buildisgs in Richfleld.
The M. e. Church is to be con-
graduated on the start they have
made and it is hoped that they will
be able to complete their building
soon.

You will notice that this soil is
we'll supplied with the essential ele-
ments of fertility, including Potash
and Phosphoric Acid. 1t is somewhat
low in Nitrogen and organic matter,
but this however, is true of all arid
soils, which can be easily corrected
by the planting of legumes, such as
alfalfa and clover, which have the
power of extracting free Nitrogen
from the soil air and storing it in the
soil in an available form, which
makes the soil very rich and produc-
tive. Alfalfa and clover grow very
prolificaly in this country, so that
the low per cent of Nitrogen is no
hindrance to crop productions, but
rather an aid, as it teaches the farm
er to rotate his crops with alfalfa
and clover as the base, and where
ever alfalfa and clover grow, the
farmers returns have always been
satisfactory.
One other thing I wish to call
your attention to, and that is the
wonderful amount of moisture which
can be stored in this soil, amounting
to "a per cent of the whole, which
means that with our rainfall com
paratively little irrigation would be
necessary to produce the maximum
crops. This soil would store the
winter rains and SHOWS something
like equal to 10 to IL inches of
water for the following season. This
with the addition of one, or not to
exceed two irrigations, applied dur
ing the irrigation season, would be |
ample for almost any crop grown in
this section of the country.

This analysis was very similar to

that is the power of hold

showing a larger amount of soluble

readily to proper tillage, and will
