age. In past years the demand for
cars has been greater than the sup
ply with the result that much delay
was occasioned in getting the wheat
to tidewater points. This year. how
ever there seems to have been plenty
of cars despite the heavy traffic. the
only trouble being caused by the lack
of sufficient motive power. As a re-
suit. practically all the wheat that
has been sold has been shipped or
taken to the local mills.
The sales which have been made
seem to have gone by vicinlties. For
instance it is said that nearly all
the wheat in the vicinity OF Athena
has been sold and much Of that near
Adams and few other stations On
the other hand little has changed
hands at Helix. McCormmach ana
other points.

Below the Frost Line.

Would you like to have an orchard
vineyard or garden beyond the range
of killing frosts where pure air,
plenty of water and a delightful eli
mate throughout every month will
make life worth living. This is the
opportunity which is being offered
to you at the present time, you can
buy land in one of the most beautiful
valleys in Texas. The richest of soil
for fruit culture and gardening. A
place where industry and education
will prod uce the greatest results.
This land is now open to you at $50
per acre. including the water right.
Investigate lands in every other
state of the union and then come to
the Pecos valley. you will find here
the most even temperature in the
United States and after seeing the
land and water and judging of the
climate for yourself you will be in a
position to appreciate the superiority
of this proposition, both from the
homeseekers and Investigators stand
point. You will then realize that in
no other place are the advantages of
soil, climate. altitude and abundance
of water for domestic and irrigating
purposes, the length of seasons, the
nearness to the market combine in
one proposition such as you will find
along the banks of the Pecos river
in Pecos valley. Texas. In no other
section can you find such a splendid
opportunity or profitab Bile investment.
The great problem with investors
living at a distance who are anxious
to purchase irrigated lands, either
with the idea of living there or for
an investment is to secure a favor
able location in a successful district
at the right time. We all know that
many of the best irrigated proposi-
tions are never heard of outside of
the state where they are located un-
til the price of land has advanced to
such an evXtent as to put it beyond
the reach of the average man.
We are seeking TO interest and
have already interested a large num-
ber of Colorado men who are group
ing themselves together and making
colony of Colorado men, all of
whom will be practical irrigators.
This land will be worth as much
as the best land in Palisade or Grand
Junction inside of a few years time.

When the reclamation service be-
gan its benefcent work the projects
now on hand or completed We're es-
timated to cost 40 million dollars.
Owing partly to unforeseen difficult
les. but much more to the increase in
the cost of materials, this estimate
has been greatly exceeded From the
best information we can get. it will
cost at least so million dollars TO fin
ish the projects which We're to have
been put through for one-third less:
and of the needed sum 20 million
dollars is nowhere in sight. Secre-
tary Garfield undertook to exc out
the scantiness of cash by 'subscrip-
tions in work by permitting the
farmers to pay for their water in la
Dor, rather than in cash, but this has
now been declared illegal.
The present situation, therefore, is
this: The reclamation service has
more projects on hand than it can
possibly finish in decent time under
the rules prevailing in that depart
ment since the change in headship
Farmers who are holding on by their
eye-teeth in the hope of getting wat
er will be disappointed. Other farm
ers, who have made their "subscrip-
tions of work" are holding certifi-
Gates that can bring them no water.
The whole service is up against the
imperative need of more money. It
will take 20 million TO make up for
the unforeseen increase in cost to
redeem the certificates for sub
scriptions in work" and to put
through the government works al
ready started in proper time.
The News, we repeat. would not at
all object to the expenditure of $50
million dollars for irrigation in the
arid and semi-arid regions. But.
while that is desirable, il seems to us
that the 20 million dollars quoted
above is absolutely essential, and we
should like to see every western SEN
ator, representative and delegate
bend all his energies to getting the
needed appropriation The News,
/ frankly. does not believe that there
was any need of disseminating some
of the methods which the former sec
retary of the Interior had adopted to
squeeze his projects through in spite
of increased cost. But IL is idle to

\ decided victory was won by

Berry and the Iatter's title of

The daily sentinel., 1909-06-14

Attorney Berry had secured a quit
claim deed TO the property from Mrs
Moody for her homestead interest in
the property. in payment of legal
service he had rendered. The credit
ors declared that the title to the
property was held legally only by
the Moody company and that the
Moodys had not right to transfer it
to anybody without the consent of the
company.
Late Saturday afternoon after a
bitter legal controversy lasting
through the entire day, during which
many sensational statements as to
the state and conduct of Moody's
business affairs were made. Judge
Shackleford refused to appoint a re-
ceiver or to grant any other of the
demands made by the company or
creditors. Attorney Berry retains his
title to an equity in the valuable
property.
Ii is rumored that there are to be
other important and interesting de-
velopments very soon concerning the
fight for the possession of the Moody
residence.
In the rather sensational hearing
that was closed Saturday Attorneys

the creditors while Attorney Berry
conducted his own defense. A splen-
