THE SAN LUIS VALLEY & SOUTH.
ERN RAILROAD COMPANY
INCORPORATED.
OPENS VAST TERRITORY
A GREAT PROJECT, WHICH IN.
cLUoEs COMPANIES CAPITAL.
IZED AT 100000 900.

Denver.-The Republican Saturday
morning says: Articles of incorpora-
ton of the San Luis Valley & South
ern Railroad Company. with a capitali-
zation of $1.000.0OO. were filed with
the Secretary of State yesterday aft
ernoon. The object of the road is to
open for agricultural purposes the
Great Costilla Grant and develop the
l-abelle mining district. The officers
named in the articles of Incorporation
are: Franklin E. Brooks. former con-
gressman. president; Gerald Hughes,
vice president and treasurer, and H.
Alexander Smith. secretary Besides
the officers the company has among
the incorporators such men as Horace
&. Lunt of Colorado Springs; Senator
William Lorimer of Illinois; Congress
man Weeks of Massachusetts,, and
former United States Indian Commits
sioner Leupp.
The railroad corporation is but one
of a group of corporations formed to
exploit and develop the resources of
the famous Costilla Grant in Southern
Colorado and North New Mexico, en-
bracing. as it does, 100000 acres of
fertile agricultural land.
The Costilla State Development
Company, the Costilla Irrigtion Com
paay and the Costilla Power Company,
all capitalized, together with the rail-
road, for total Of $1O,0OO000, give an
idea of the vastness of the plans Of
the incorporators
Adjoining the Costilla grant is some
100000 additional acres of agricultural
land which will be developed by the
water and power of the corporations
named above. making 100000 acres Of
agricultural land alone to be devel-
oped.
A few years ago the Labelle Min
ing district in Southern Colorado was
discovered and gave promise of being
very rich district But there were
absolutely no railroad facilities and
the discoverers could get no money
out of the ground with which to make
further developments. But the San
Luis Railroad Company has acquired
the rights to this district, will run a
branch there and open mining opera
tions on large scale.
Contracts have already been let for
the construction of part of the road
from Blanca, near Fort Garland, to a
point on the Costilla river, and as fast
as it is completed new sections of the
road will be placed under contract.
Extensive operations are now going
on Throughout the Costilla grant in
the way of constructing irrigation
works, canals and reservoirs. and
power will be developed from the
abundant water supply for operating
the district thereabout. 1t might be
said to be Investment on the depart
ment store plan, for the company be.
hind the various propositions will
have half dozen ways of deriving
income from the company when the
works have been completed. Con-
gressman Brooks was largely instru-
mental in planning and financing the
project.

USE CARE IN TRAMsPLAMTlNG
Attention and Careful Nursing Re-
quired to Compensate for the
Shock in Moving.

Moving plants from one locality to
another is more or less of violent op-
Grafton. By the process the plant is
deprived of quite a number of its feed
ing roots and for a time is cut on from
its water supply; consequently 1t Is
necessary to exercise considerable
care with the plant until it again be-
comes established in the soil. To help
insure this an abundant supply of
moisture In the soil at all times is es-
sential to keep the plant from whiting
and incite it to take hold of the soil
quickly. In sections where irrigation
Is practiced the transplanted plants
should be irrigated Immediately after
setting, and frequently afterward until
danger of their dying out is passed.
This can be told by the plants freshen-
ing up and starting new leaves. 1t is
also very essential in setting the
plants out to firm the soil well around
the roots. This is very important and
should not be neglected. Many plants
have failed on account of not doing
this. Proper firming Of the soil helps
to exclude air from the roots and
prevents the plants from drying up.
In sections where irrigation is not
practiced plants are preferably trans
planted during a rainy spell. If this
cannot be taken advantage of 1t will
be necessary to water the plants by
hand until they are established. When
doing this do it thoroughly; little
water is sometimes nearly as bad as
none.
In moving the young plants from
the seed bed to the field and until set
out they should be protected from the
rays of the sun to prevent whiting.
This protection can be given by wrap
ping the roots up in a wet sack or car
rying to the field in bucket or tub
with little water in the bottom to
keep the roots moist. When digging
the plants out of the seed bed use a
shovel or spade and avoid breaking of
as many roots as possible. 1t is also
better to wet the bed first. II the
plants are very tall it will be well to
cut of part of the top. The opera
tion will not hurt the plant and helps
to keep 1t from whiting, as it pre-
vents excessive evaporation Of moist
ure from the plant through the leaves.
Before transplanting the soil should
be well prepared, being properly fined
and leveled. Plants usually take root
more quickly in freshly stirred soil.
After the land has been properly pre-
pared mark off the rows where the
plants are to be set. This may be done
If it is desired to plant on ridges with
a plow; If on the level, by marker.
One thing to keep in mind is to make
the rows straight and the proper dis
tance apart. 1t never pays to crowd
plants. BY SO doing crop inferior in
quality is liable to be produced.
Transplanting can nearly always be
successfully done with most plants If
the proper care is observed. Some of
the things to keep in mind are: Dig
plants carefully, protect them from
the sun after digging until transplant
ed, supply plenty of water to trans
planted plants, set the plants proper
ly in the hole and firm the soil around
the roots.

Satisfy.

Satisfy is a much neglected crop.
Many people are very fond of this
vegetable and 1t is just as easy to
grow as parsnips. Sow early, thin the
plants to three or four inches, and
give clean tillage. The roots may be
harvested In the fall for winter use,
or they may be allowed to remain in
the ground until spring.

y
that mas somewhat aroused my Gu
rlos1ty Notwithstanding you have
mad my attention for about fifteen
years, and I think that you make
some of the most fragrant charges,
or rather allude to something that
the officers are doing, the which I
think you should come out flatfooted
with the whole goods against them,
as you know that hints won't do
and as I am one man that having
been member both of the Granite
Cutters Union and of the Farm
ers' Union, ever since there have been
Unions in this country, and as have
tried to be loyal to all classes of peo-
pie, as we'll as the Union, l respect
fully call on you for the whole goods,
as | am by you just like little
boy once was by his grandmother
about some very nice fried fish. He
began to dance and cry, Grandma,
give me some more fish" "Ah, go
away, Fred, there amt no more
fish, Fred cried and he cried and
bawled, until Grandma eased the
stove door open, thinking to slip just
one nice piece off for Fred. When Fred
spied a great big dishful of fish, he
jumped up and down, Eighty, l
knowed there was more in dere."
Now, I know you have some more
fish, SO out with EN-
So, if you haven't any more fish,
probably you have some very fine
ducks, or bears, or some other good
game. 1t may be that you have
trapped Duck, or a Gompers,-so
hang out your game so that man
can see it plain. believe that you
have got it, all right.
Understand, Mr.. Watson, l can not
agree with you that the boycott and
the blacklist are the same; notwith-
standing the same spirit may prompt
them both, they are not exhibited

the same results The difference is
that one hurts corporations, while
the other hurts the individuals. l

fair, so long as it is fair to organize
Or unioniZe. You say not, but | say
it is. You say that they are infa-
nous. Stop right here a little bit
You should remember that today
you are living in country not only
where the Adamites dwell, but where
the corporations, amalgamations and
trusts are only second to hell
Therefore, dig up these Internal
things by the roots, cause these hyp-
ocrites to have mercy when they en-
ploy laborers, and give them a rea-
sonable compensation for hard labor
at least enough to reasonably school,
feed and clothe their families. Then
we would not have a Union, nor a
boycott Neither would corpora
ton that is worth from one to five
hundred thousand dollars stoop so
low down as to want to blacklist a
man, just one man that has a wife

CD Again, Mr.. Gompers wishes
to use the power and influence of the
Farmers Union, in order that he
may put the Pearre bill on the
statute books. Mr. Bryan was un-
doubtedly committed to that bill, in
the last campaign. Had Mr.. Bryan
been good lawyer, he would have
told Mr.. Gompers that, even though
Congress should be silly enough to
pass the Pearre bill, and the Presi-
dent should be weak enough to sign
it, the Supreme Court would kill it
as dead as a hammer. Such a bill
is not only against the Constitution
of the United States, but against the
Bill of Rights in the Constitutions
of the various States, and also
against the fundamental principles
of Magma Charta.
Inseparably connected with the
title to property, is the legal right
to use it; and the use of property,
in many instances, is synonymous
with business" The natural use
of farm land is the business" of
farming: the natural use of mer-
chandise kept in store is the
business" of selling it: the natural
use of cotton mill, equipped with
looms, ETC., is the business" of man
ufacturing. Now the Pearre bill
seeks to deprive the Courts of the
power to protect a mans business.
Consequently, the bill strikes at the
title, and confiscates at least part
Of the value of the property. There
fore, the Courts would hold that the
Pearre bill deprives the citizen of
his property without due process of
law.
There isn't a Constitutional law
yer in America who will differ from
me on this proposition.
CD Again, Mr. Gompers wants
the sanction of the Farmers Union
to his defiance of the Courts and of
restraining orders. Through the
oficiousness of the bank-wrecking
lawyer c. T. Ladson, Mr. Gompers
got it,-by telegraph, at that
l don't believe the farmers of this
country will uphold any man in TAX
in the law into his own hands and
defying the Courts. Suppose there
is dispute between you and your
neighbOr as to where your land line
is, and both of you claim a certain
belt of good pine timber. Such dis
putes happen every day in our vast
country. Now, your neighbor be-
lieves that land is his, puts a force
of hands in there, and starts to cut
ting down the trees, preparatory to
saving them into lumber. You go
to your neighbor and tell him that
he has no right to cut those trees,
and you request him to discontinue
it. He defies you, and keeps on cut
ting. What are you to do? You
don't want to kill him: you don't
want him to kill you; and yet you
don't want him to cut down your
trees In that case, you would go

and LudsOm

Now there is one more item in
this same article I wish to stir IN
your old Adam about, and that is
upon the advice that you give the
farmers sticking to their own knit
ting. Now, Mr.. Watson, be fair with
us. I believe you will I have been

possible I could to help them. hay
ing been reared on the farm myself
and know it's miseries and hard
times, and believing that I knew
great deal about successful unionism,
having been a Union man for twen-
ty-five years,-though I admit that
there is not feather nor anything
that looks like a wing yet on me.
Nor have tried to make the farmers
believe that had them. And I also
deny the charge that you make that
the ge-earner-that is, all of
them-would do things that some
corporations would do. So you see
that I haven't any feathers on my
legs, either,-and I am satisfied that
there are plenty of good citizens,
farmers, that know that there are
members of other Unions that have
done more to help them than any of
their own class could have done, and
they know that if all classes of or
ganized labor were properly affiliated
complished that you don't know of,
because you are not on the inside.
Now, Mr.. Watson, if I haven't said
enough yet to make you tell what's
dead up the branch, I will say it. I
said above that had done all could
to help organize. Now, Mr.. Wat
son, I pledge myself to you, if you
will do one thing. Bring out the

Answer.
CD My friend has misunderstood
me in the matter of the membership
of Unions. There is no reason in
the world why the same citizen
should not be a good Church mem
Der, a good Mason, a good Farmers
Union man and a good Labor Union
man. What I have said, and most
earnestly repeat, is that the farmers
organizations ought not to have any
entangling alliances with the labor
organizations, or with any other or
ganization whose interest is not
strictly agricultural
For instance the farmers of the
country do not wish to force labor
ing people to join the Union. They
think that every wage-earner should
have the right of freeman, to Join,
or not join, any League, Union, or
organization whatsoever. He ought

Benjamin F. Yoakum chairman OF the board of
the Rock Island Company. returned TO this city
yesterday from extensive trip over the West
and Southwest. He said that conditions in the ter
ritory he had visited good. particularly in
the agricultural sections and that business wes on
a sound foundation. He added, however. that while
business conditions were sound great improve
ment could be looked for until after the tariff
question had been. settled. Manufacturers were
waiting. he said. to see what Congress was going
to do as'regards tariff legislation before they start
ed their plants working full time.
The crop outlook in the Rock Island territory
was good Mr.. Yoakum said Winter wheat looked
well. the farmers were prosperous and agricultural
conditions were normal. The only business, he
added, that had not picked up 10 any extent and
was still below normal the lumber busi-
ness
Mr.. Yoakum refused TO discuss the report that
Robert Mather will shortly resign as president Of
the Rock Island Company in order to devote all
his attention TO the Westinghouse Electric and
