OAKLEY PROJECT APPROVED.
Contract Entered Into BY Kuhn Bros.
for Reclamation at $65

The state land board at a session
Monday approved the contract of
the Kuhn Brothers for the reclama-
tion of the Goose creek segregation,
the land lying in and around Oakley.
The price of the water rights was fix
ed at $65 an acre and the amount OF
water to be furnished at an acre foot
and one-half per acre.
The project is one which will be
very difficult to construct and will
consist of a system of storage reser-
voirs conserving water sufficient for
the reclamation of $4,000 acres. In
addition to the lands to be reclaimed
large area of private land will be
watered, the settlers turning in their
old rights for rights with the COM
pany. It was partially upon secur-
ing this contract at $65 an acre that
the extention of the Southern Idaho
railroad to Burley and Oakley de-
pended.
The land under the project is said
to be as fine as any in the state, a

THE VALUE OF KNOWING HOW
RichfieId Farmer Clears 800 an Acre
ON Land in Three Years.

A passenger on 5ol:I the trs:A
flom Shoshone to Richd-a gets tired
OF looking out the window at IN end
'css expanse of sage brush desert
wih only an occasional rr,h to
break the monotony But when the
lain proceeds about ,levsl miles
or within four miles OF Richfeid. a
lovely view presents inself to the
north of the tract.
A level expanse OF country is oc-
cupied by highly cultivated ranches
and fine, two story residences afford
the conclusive evidence that the
owners are well-to-do prosperous
people who desire some of the ele-
gancies of life to which their means
entitle them.
There are a thousand acres in the
holdings owned and occupied by a
father and three grown sons whose
name is Johnson. They fully realize
the value of these fertile acres be-
cause their experience elsewhere has
taught it to them. 1t is doubtful if a
hundred dollars an acre would tempt
them from their homes where COM
fort reigns and where irrigation en-
sures them an abundant crop eJery
season as it comes aroncl
These people came here only three
years ago and bought the main ranch
for twelve and one half dollars an
acre and then added to it as they
saw an opportunity. They knew the
value of the land when they bought
it but of course they were willing
to let the other fellow set the price
which they paid without any unneces-
sary delay. And now let us see how
they knew land values better than
the other fellow who happens to be
prosperous business man of Sho-
shone and who is well up on the
value of horse flesh.
1t was quite number of years ago
that this Johnson family moved into
the Green river country of Utah and
bought raw land for ten dollars an
acre. After this land was irrigated
and cultivated other people who saw
what wonderful crops it produced,
concluded that they wanted it more
than the Johnsons did and SO they
took it from them by paying an even
hundred dollars an acre for the priv
ilege.
You see the Johnsons wanted more
land and hundred dollars an acre
was too rich for their blood, so they
sold out at profit of ninety dollars
an acre and sought something cheap
sr in price but just as valuable in
capacity.
They found what they wanted in
Lincoln county, Idaho, and in three
short years have made their mark
and from now on the way is clear
sailing they know the value OF the

First Practice Game Held Sunday At
ternoon. Boys Play Good Ball

The first actual ball game in Rich
field was played Sunday afternoon,
when the boys crossed bats with a
picked team composed of some good
players from Jones' camp and some
Richfield boys. The wind was blow
ing pretty hard, which made it rath-
er disagreeable playing, but they
played fast enough to show that with
any kind of fair weather, they could
play base ball that would interest
any lover of the national game. The
grounds are little soft yet, which
made base running and field work a
little tedious, but nevertheless the
Richf1eld team and the picked team
played ball like they were playing
for the championship of the state, in
stead of playing practice game.
The Richfield ball team is COM
posed of some as good players as
one would wish to see play and the
team practice that the picked team
gives them will help wonderfully,
when they get into game with some
outside team

that deeds to rights of way through

Comment on Sheep Killing.
SLAUGHTER OF THE INNoCENTs.


Humanity always resents unneces-
sary and unwarranted cruelty no mat
ter in what form inflicted, and more
especially does it resent the inf1iction
of pain snd suffering upon animals just
for spite work against their owners.
This is why the people of Colorado
stand aghast at the terrible. unwar-
ranted and malicious slaughter and
butchery of $500 sheep in the eastern
part of Mesa county by band of hu-
man towards last Wednesday. This is
why the people are also demanding
that those towards serve time at Canon
City.
The time may have been when range
wars were taken as a part of western
life but II at time has long since passed.
Such events as the one near Mack only
serve to keep Colorado on the wrong
side of the moral ledger among the
states of the east and unless our state,
county and humane officials relentless
ly pursue those men until every one is
behind prison walls, we will continue to
remain on the wrong side of that ledger.
1t is pleasing to note that our Off
cials are acting promptly and vigorous
". The humane society has offered a
$500 reward for the capture and con-
viction of the criminals; the officials of
Mesa county are prosecuting the work
of securing evidence upon which arrests
will he made and Governor Shafroth
has said that so long as he remains
governor not one of them shall receive
executive elemency should they be con-
victed. Pueblo Chieftain.
THE GUILTY MUST BE PUNISHED.
Whatever is to be said concerning the
rights of either faction to the use of
the range. there is nothing that can
palliate the brutality and lawlessness
of the masked bandits who raided the
sheep herds of Grand junction men N
Garfield and Mesa counties a few days
ago. 1t was an outrage which should
not be permitted TO pass unpun,shed.
as has been the case in similar ones
gone before The only way to put a
stop to such criminalities is by appre-
hending and Furnishing the guilty men,
and that should be promptly done.
There need be no delay in arresting the
guilty ones provided only the people of
the section whose peace has been vio-
lated are insistent that justice do its
duty. Denver Republican.

Obituary..

Charles Jeremiah Plank, was born at
Leeds on the Catskill in New York.
July %, 1923, where he lived till 13
years of age. When quite young he
became sailor, and in that capacity
he visited all parts of the world. He
went several times on whaling expedi
tions in the far north. He rounded
Crpe Horn twice. There is not an
important harbor on any continent,
that he had not visited at some time or
other. When the late Civil war broke
out he enlisted in the Confederate
Army at Whittsburg. Arkansas, June
IL, 1851 and served till the close of the
war. He was in many of the impor
tant battles of that war, such as
Corinth, the Vicksburg campaign,
Chickamauga, Atlanta and others.
He was married to Harriet A. Stacy
at Stacy Homestead, Michigan, Oct. 9.
1878. To this union were born four
children. two of whom had preceded
him in death. One daughter. Mrs. S.
L. Cockreham of Delta, and one son,
Charles E. Plank of Agusta, Georgia,
together with the wife and mother, re-
main to mourn his departure. @--
He was an employe of the Southern
Express Company for over forty years
in various capacities; being promoted
often because of his faithfullness and
efficiency. He retired from business
March 1908. and in May following he
removed to Delta to make his home
with his daughter.
He was a man of the highest charac-
ter and sterling integrity. He was
converted and united with the M. E.
church in 1890. and served on the
official Board of his church tillhe came
to Delta. He was a devout christian
man and died in the triumph of living
faith. He quietly fell asleep at 2:20 a.
m. Monday, May Slst. The funeral
services took place from the home at
2:30 Tuesday afternoon and was buried
in the Delta cemetery.
Age so years, 10 months and 8 days.

Memorial DAY at Delta.

Memorial Day program as published
was carried out at Delta, the cere-
monies all being earnest and impressive
The floral offerings were not as ex-
tensive as they would have been but
for the backwariness of the season,
but the part taken by all, particularly
that by the Veterans and Woman's
Relief Corps, was in all respects be-
fitting the occasion.
Rev. Glover preached the Memorial
sermon at the Christian tabernacle in
the forenoon. H. j. Baird delivered
memorial address at the Baptist church
in the afternoon. Both speakers elo-
puently eulogized the heroes of the
civil war, bestowing praise upon the
living and the dead. Both addresses
We're well received.
To the survivors the day was another
milestone marking the calender of
iveswell spent, nobly lived and near too
their close, heralding a time when they
would be laid beside those with whom
they fought, side by side, for love of
country. The respect felt and shown
for the veterans by those in younger
life, the kindly response and cheerful
bearing of the war heroes, made all
feel that there was more to the living
of this life than the mere passing of
time.

Fishing SEASON Opens We'll.

The fishing season opened Saturday
on the upper Gunnison successfully,
despite inclement weather. The air
was not only chilly but brisk snow
squalls occurred during the day. and on
Sunday morning at Sapinero there was
nearly an inch of snow covering the
ground.
Because of the weather the river was
falling and the trout were changing
their location every day. so it was
necessary for the fisherman to locate
them before he could do any good. On
Saturday the trout were lying in the
saltwater pools. The following day
they were hanging near the swift
current bordering the pools. Bait
fishing proved the only success and the
lure had to go to the bottom to be
tIken at all.
Those Of the fishermen who correctly
diagnosed the situation, were success
full, and quite number got the limit
sllowed by law.
Many of the trout were comparative
" small, ranging in the neighborhood
Of a half:pound, but occasionally one
was caught weighing from pound up
to three pounds.
Among Delta, fishermen at Sapinero
were: Carr. Shue, Seaton, Anderson,
DR.. Wood, w. E. Obert and Dan
Doughty. r. W. Curtis was up from
Cedaredge and Editor Perry from
Hotchkiss. Montrose was represented
by a large lumber Of fishermen. The
catch, on an average. was as good as
we have ever seen at any season.
