Five Mexican sheepherders PASSED
through Springfield Sunday afternoon.
That is to say we misstook them to be
sheepherders until they drew near town
when we detected the presence of a

they were not sheepherders but merely
democrats. They did not seem to know
where they were going but We're evil

donkey for sale for the usual pIice of
So, but as Springfield is republican
stronghold, they found no purchasers.
We endeavored to impress upon them
that should they invade Springfield
with a small herd of elephants they
would find many ready buyers. We
directed them in the direction of Lin
coin, Neb., where we informed them a
man resided who had a hobby for dom
keys, and thought they might dispose
of him there. The coterie departed in
that direction muttering an unfamiliar
lingo, but what we could CLEAN from
their conversation, they seemed salts

A NEW ERA FOR BAcA COUNTY.

To conserve moisture is the secret to
successful farming, and especially is
this true in localities where the rain
fall is invariably irregular. Baca coun-
ty receives sufficient precipitation an
ually to insure good crops at all times;
but the great drawback the county is
experiencing, and which has heretofore
been its greatest detriment, is to receive
moisture when most needed. This
obsticle, as it We're, will be obviated
with the inception Of irrigation, and
as this is an assured certainty, Baca
county bids fair to rival, and rival very
soon, some of the leading agricultural
districts in the country. The fact that
the soil is fertile and highly productive
is a far gone conclusion, and with the
assurance of many thousands of acres
of this fertile land being fed from a
great reservoir with an unlimited sup
ply of water, the future destiny of
Baca county will have been solved, and
the apparent development and the
prosperity incident thereto, is now a
reality and merely awaits the consu=
nation of projects already commenced.
Baca county has long been recognized
has great ranching country and thous-
ands of cattle, sheep and horses roam
leisurely over its fertile prairies. But
as the trend of immigration approach
es, and our fertile domain becomes
studded with farm houses, and the fer
tile valleys are planted to fields of waiv-
ing grain, the day of ranching will have
come to pass. The passing of the ex-
tensive ranch is already noticeable with
the advent of the settler. Stock rais-
ing on small scale, nevertheless, will
always be an important industry of
this county.
With the completion of the irriga-
ton project to be inaugurated at Two
Buttes this summer, the survey of
which is now in progress, $1,000 acres
Of choice farming lands will be supplied
with abundance of water, and it is be-
lieved this entire area will be occupied
by class of thrifty farmers ere the
summer will have passed. This means
within a few years, the addition of
thousands of dollars worth of valuable
property to the tax rolls of this county.
Aside from this extensive project, there
are many private irrigation bitches
and also artesian wells feeding many
tracts of cultivated lands.
Simultaneous with the construction
OF the irrigation plant new town will
be builded, the site having already been
located near Two Buttes, and the con-
tracts for number of business blocks
and residences have now been let. Thus
conjectures will become relates and
Baca county will emerge from its ap-
parent state of retrocession, which has
been due to the lack of moisture, and
with the coming conservation of rain
fall, which is conductive to profitable
farming, our county will dawn new
era, one of progression and prosperity
