PaOnia'S Resources.
Delightful Climate in Which fruits
and Vegetables of All Kinds
Yield Abunddntly.
OTHER GOOD FEATURES NUMEROUS

Fruit IS the predominant product of
the valley, but oats, wheat. alfalfa. po-
tatoes. sugar beets and all garden
vegetables do exceptionally well.
Wheat produces forty and fifty bushels
per acre; oats. seventy to eighty: al
falfa fye to eight tons per acre and
is cut three times a year. Potatoes
are raised in abundance,-one rancher
realizing six hundred bushels from one
acre. Sugar beets. when fully grcwh
are usually of enormous size and are
a very profitable investment Garden
vegetables do exceptionally well; in
short, practically everything is grown
here that is characteristic OF the Tenn
perate zone.
The small fruits produce abundant
crops. Strawberries. blackberries.
raspberries and dewberries are rails
ed in shipping quantities OF such size
and flavor rarely equaled. There is
an abundance OF irrigating water for
the small fruits and II properly at
tended from five hundred to enc thou
sand dollars a year can be realized.
Two acres of berries in the season
of 1905 brought the grower twenty
five hundred dollars.
Apricots are being grown extensive
ly at Paonia, and the increase In the
number of acres set out each year

able investment. In the season OF
1906 the local canning factory canned
eighty tons of apricots, large por-
ton of which was shipped to Eastern
markets. Apricots are abundant yield
ers; they begin bearing the third year
after the trees are set out, producing
annually large crops. While a large
portion of the Apricot crop is bought
by the local Canning and Evaporating
companies: considerable portion is
marketed in the East. where they
bring fancy prices. The harvest time
of the apricot crop begins early In
the season and is well out OF the way
before the peach harvest begins.
The fuvorite varieties of cherries
grown here are the Black Tararian,
Royal Anne, Sixteen to One, Black
Republican. and Early Richmond. The
cherry ccp is one of the best money
producers In the valley of the North
Fork. The yield of both sweet and
sour cncr ries is always large and tie
prices always high. Nearly the cnt!r'I

Paonia is conceded to have the most
delightful year around climate In Colo
rado. The dryness of the atmosphere
the even mild temperatures, the free
dom from disagreeable windstorms,
tho great number of bright, clear days,
the cool nights, NIL join in making
Paonia an ideal place of residence.
Snow or rain falls are very infre-

time from two to four dollars per

Paonia are stone quarries, which fur
nish an excellent building stone.
Quarried as it is, at minimum cost,
this stone is being extensively used in
Paonia, for either Public buildings
or homes.
"Reasons Why YOU should Come to
'PaOnia.'"
Delightful year around climate.
Beautiful mountain scenery.
Medium altitude-fifty-seven hun
dred feet.
Pre-eminent fruit soil.
Pure mountain spring water for do
mestic use.
Coal at the doors of the town.
Abundant and inexpensive irrigation
water.
Timber and building stone for the
asking.
Fruits-the quality and abundance
unexcelled.
Splendid schools and churches.
A live Commercial Association.
Fishing and Hunting in Season.
A Cooperative Telephone System.
A Cooperative Coal Mine.
No Saloons in the County.
All Fruit Associations, Irrigating
Systems, Water Works. Lighting
Plant, Canneries and Evaporating
Factories are owned and operated by
the people. Because all other sections
en- the Western Slope are using the
expression, Just as good as Paonia'
but can not reach our standard of
excellence.
Here the Elberta Peach grows to
perfection.
Jonathan apples, Rome Beauty,
Winesaps, Crimes Golden and others
have fixed the standard for all other
fruit sections, in regard TO flavor,
size and quality.
The fruit grower realizes a large
per cent On his investment.
Prices OF land are not exhorbitant.
Social conditions are of the best.
You can not name any other country
where all general conditions are as
good, where opportunities are as
abundant, where the chances of your
prospering are as romising as they
will be in PAONIA.
''Output in 1905"
Among the fruit growers in the val
ley of the North Fork. the season of
1908 will long be remembered as one
of the worst ever known in Colorado.
In spite of the unusual weather, Pa
onia shipped over seven hundred cars
of fruit to Eastern markets.
In the total shipment apples were
in the lead, numbering four hundred
cars. Peaches came next, with two
hundred and sixty-e.ght cars; the bal
ance constituted apricots. cherries,
berries and all other smaller fruits.
The canning and evaporating plants
cared for large part of the apricot
crop, also the cherries and prunes,
therefor they do not enter into the
total car shipments. The prices pre-
vailing in 1908 were very satisfactory
to the grower as well as the shipper.
Peaches brought from forty to sixty
cents per box, and apples from dol
lar and a quarter TO two dollars and
a half per box. We feel safe in es-
t.mating Paonia's crop for the sea-
son of 1905 at selling for more than
half a million hr HRS

Nv ater."

The Paonia District s irrigated with
water from The North Fork of the
Gunnis; n. There is more than enough
water in the stream and its tributaries
to supply for irrigation all the tillable
land in the valley. Few places in the
irrigated regions are so well and
cheaply supplied with water as N
this valley. All of the Water Systems
are owned by the land owners and
there is not one dollar of bondec in
debtedness against any of them.
There is no expense whatsoever con-
nected with the irrigation water, ex-
cept that OF repair and maintenance
of the bitches. This am, UNITS to but
few cents per acre each year. With
this abundance of water, crops are as
sured each year. while on the othei
hand no thought need be taken con-
corning droughts or foods.

srcRrrARY WHlrrnrAp. Of the COLORADO

SECRETARY WHITEHEAD. of the Colorado
State Bureau of Child and Animal Protection,
in an article published in the organ of the
Humane Society of that State, says: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt as a sportsman is furnishing to
the American nation an example of ruthless
ness and blood-lust as far reaching as it is per-
nicious. No one more deeply and sincerely
appreciates the merit and good qualities of our
President than we do. but these vacation trips
of his are not worthy of a President nor of the
true American man. Many of his truest adj
mirers regret his heralded hunting trip to
Africa. 1t is not necessary it cannot reflect
credit upon him he runs little risk, and il
there is any it is a needless one in an unworthy
cause. If reports are true, he looks forward
eagerly, exutantly. impatiently to the excur-
SIGN to the other side of the world, whose prime
object is TO slay. We resent lust of blood, the
thirst TO STAY"

ture it is necessary to show what would hap
pen to the enemy in the two hours. The game
