March is here and Easter comes
on April the eleventh. That's right.
Spring business begins in March,
and hustles along harder and harder,
and quicker and faster. and more of
it every day until Easter.
That's right. The business is COM
ing anyway. So what's the use of
hustling for it? It's too much troub'
lie to trim up the windows and ledges
with new spring things.
Anyway. the window fades them An
they get dirty on the ledges. Let
them stay wher ethey are and show
'em to people when they come In and
ask for 'em. That's the way to sell
goods.
Advertise? What's the use. Of ad.
vertising when the people are com.
Ing anyway? They know We are here
and know we have been here for the
past twenty:seven years. Why. the
people in this county know my old
mans store better than they do the
newspapers. Advertise? Why. we
can skin that to death by Keeping
the money and giving the people bet.

Aw-what's the use Of going over
stock and STRENGTHENING things up
and making them look nicer? Amt
this, store been good enough for the
people for twenty-seven years! The
people want the goods at the right
price. That's what they want.
These fellers wot advertise make
me sick. They are all liars, any
how.
Nav, we amt goin' to send out
any Easter advertisin' matter. This
Easter business IL mostly blow. any
how. What do country people care
about style? What they want is for
1t to wear.
Nav, my old man don't pay any at.
tention to style when he buys goods.
What he wants to know is how thick
the goods iss for the price.
The old man says that goods
half bought is half Sold" 30 he just
half buys 'em.
Nav, we amt a-goin' to paint up
the store this spring. That just
costs money and 1t don't sell the
goods. People want to buy goods

years ago and wot was good enough

BENTON IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Thousands Of Acres, All Tributary TO
La Junta, That Are to Be Oevel-
oped and Made to Bloom and
Blossom.

A few days ago in company with
c. F. Helm. C. A. Beerbohm and DR..
A. l.. Stubbs. with George II. Little
as chauffeur. the editor of the great
family journal enjoyed an automobile
trip to the site Of the Benton reser-
voir project, located about sixteen
miles west and south Of La Junta.
This project, which Is in its infancy
as yet. Is being developed BY the
Benton Land. Reservoir and Canal
Company, the officers OF which are
~ follows: President, J. e. Gauser; /;
secretary. George 8. Henry; treas-
urer, F. 7. Lewis.
The ditch, which IL now being
constructed by the company. covers
1880 acres of Is fine land Is you
will find anywhere, and all 1t needs
10 the application Of water to make
1t an agricultural paradise. Eight
miles Of ditch are now in course Of
construction, which will cover the en-
tire tract of 1880 acres. all Of which
has been filed upon under the desert
land act with the exception of about
1000 acres. All of this land is To-
Gated within from six to fifteen miles
of La Junta. and in time will de-
velop into a great asset for this COM
munity.
Two contractors are now at work
upon the ditch. Frank Day has
twelve teams and w. H. King about
seventeen, with an equal number Of
men, and the contract calls for the
completion of the ditch by April lst-
The ditch will be eight miles long
and for the first three-Quarters of
mile forty feet wide on top and
eighteen feet on the bottom, and for
the remaining distance twenty-four
feet wide ON top and sixteen feet on
the bottom.
The site for the proposed reservoir.
which is to supply the ditch with
water, is an ideal one. 1t is locat-
ed on Crooked arroyo, and has
drainage area Of about 130 square
miles. This reservoir has capacity
for storing $4,000 acre feet OF water.
and the dam which is to store this
Immense amount Of water will be
about one and three-Quarter miles
wide and will cost $3.50. 200. Crooked
arroyo drains an immense area and
carries off = great amount of water.
Sheep men report that there were
nine terrific floods only last year.
When the ditch is completed those
who have claims under 1t will be
entitled to prove up. and 1t II then
proposed to form an irrigation dis
trict including all the land under
the ditch, issue bonds and secure
funds to build the dam and complete
the irrigation project in its entir-

 FAIRBANKS, June 10.-Marathon Park is the name of the new race track now being built on the opposite side of the river. A purse of s3,000 has been put up by the citizens, and the management is in the hands of Capewell and Phinn, who had charge of the last contest, won by the Greek De Mara.
 The new grounds were the result of a disagreement between the owners Of the baseball grounds and the runners. The ball magnates wanted twenty per cent of the gross receipts, but the pe- destrfans, and also the citizens. said, Nay, not so; we'll do a little building on our own account" and the con- struction of the new park was cori- menced forthwith. Marathon Park has a splendid baseball diamond, and 1t is thought that it will put the former monopolists out of business.
 Arrangements had been made to run the race on June 12, but as the grounds were not finished at that time and as the pedestrians were not Tn the most perfect condition, the postpone

Ambassador to the United States; Hon. James J. Hill. president of the Great Northern Railway Company; and Congressman Rodenberg. and of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi- ton, turned the completed Exposition over to the people of the City and State.
 The benediction was pronounced by Right Reverend Frederick w. Keator, Bishop of Olympia, and closed tire ceremonies of opening.
 A magnificent display of daylight fireworks followed the throwing open of the Fair. and this was continued throughout the afternoon. With the close of the program a luncheon was served to the distinguished guests. and was attended by many prominent la dies and gentlemen, guests of the Ex- position management. In the evening an official banquet was rendered visit ing dignitaries, at which short ad dresses were delivered by the Gov ernor of Washington, the Mayor of Se- attle, visiting Governors and a num- Der of distinguished visitors. The opening of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition was worthy of the occasion. The presenting of a Worlds Fair, complete and finished, was some thing remarkable in Exposition his tory, and when the Fair presented had justified the claims of it's builders, and made good the expectations of being the most beautiful Exposition ever built, the natural enthusiasm of the boundless Northwest had sufficient cause for liberal expenditure.
