The COSTILLA ESTATE
DEVELOPMENT co.
Will Make Active Campaign to
Settle Heretofore Unused
Portion of Valley.

Ieh tHouSdHu SellleTS dIe W OC
brought to Colorado this year to
people the Costilla estate which
lies across the Rio Grande river
east of La Jara, says the Denver
News Times. These are to be
drawn from the population of the
states lying between Colorado and
the eastern boundry of Indiana,
where an extensive advertising
campaign is already under way.
G. A. Bradley, mayor of Long
mont, is to manage the selling end
of the enterprise, and others in
terested are +. N. Wood, superin-
tendent of the Denver Dry Goods
Co.; w. d. Downs and Geo. Gano
of Gano-Downs; w. p. Hogarty,
agricultural superintendent of the
Western Sugar company and other
residents of Denver
The land to be settled first is
1900 acres along the Culebra river
in the northern part of the tract,
due east of La Jara, and 1900
acres in the southern part near the
New Mexico line. This acreage is
said to be already irrigated and
ready for the settler. A complete
irrigation system costing three
fourths of a million dollars is to be
constructed and by the 1st of May
it is estimated 10000 acres will be
under ditch. A railroad is to be
built to connect with the Rio
Grande at Fort Garland and reach
the different towns that will be
established as the settlement of
the immense tract goes on. The
owners of the land have guaranteed
in their advertising matter that
this railroad will be built and
equipped, ready to move crops this
fall. The railway is to be con-
structed on to the south into New
Mexico next year to tap the i'm
mense country to the south of the
grant.
The soil of this tract is a rich,
sandy loan, the same as other por-
tions of the Sun Luis valley. Its
adaptability to the raising of grain
of every kind, sugar beets, peas,
potatoes, etc, has made the fame
of the valley known in every farm
ing community in the country.
Legal complications over the title
to the estate have heretofore pre-
vented its settlement to any extent
and an examination OF map of the
valley will show the portion west
of the river thickly ss-crossed
with irrigation bitches and dotted
with towns and villages. While
that portion of the valley east of
the river is in a state of nature
save for two settlements at San
Luis and Eastdale.
The company will establish a
sugar factory, sawmills, flour mills,
power and light plants, stores and
banks. Sugar coated inducements
are to be offered settlers, such as
fencing and building material at
cost, a section of grazing land with
each so of agricultural land and a
town lot thrown in free. The plan
being to make the land so attrac-
tive that an excellent class of set
tiers will be secured and the open
ing Of the land result in verit-
able boom.

BOOMING GENERAL HAVEN
FOR DEPARTMENT COMMANDER.
Notices Being Sent About the State
His War Record.

The following notices are being sent
out by Perkins post of New London
to the G.. A. r. posts about the state:
At regular meeting Of Perkins post,
No. AZ, G. A. r., department OF Con-
necticut, held Thursday evening. March
IL, 1909, it was voted unanimously that
Perkins post present the name OF
Comrade George Haven for department
commander.
Perkins post in placing Comrade
George Haven in nomination this year
for department commander, relies for
support in its desire to secure the rec
ognition hoped for, first upon the
qualities and capabilities of its candi-
date, and secondly upon the natural
claim for such recognition from the
fact that in all the year past since the
foundation of the G. A. R. no such
honor has fallen to its lot; and the
comrades believe the time has arrived
to Justly make the claim and ask the
votes Of the department encampment
in May.
Comrads Ravens war record is as
follows:
Comrade Haven enlisted In April,
1851, under the first call Of President
Lincoln. was mustered into the Sec
ond Connecticut volunteers May z,
1851, and was mustered out on Aug. Z,
1851 He re-enllsted Nov. %, 1861, in
Company G, First Connecticut caval-
~. and serYed faithfully for three
years, participating In every battle in
which his regiment was engaged, ana
was discharged Nov. "a, 1865, being
at the time Of discharge but 20 years
Of age.
His service in the Connecticut Ma
tional guard has been highly credit
able, covering a long period and a
great variety of duties from the line
to brigade command, and ending with
incumbency Of the adjutant generals
Office during the period Of the Spanish
war.
The post feels confident that Com
rade Ravens conspicuously patriotic
and efficient career offers the best rea-
son for asking the support of his
comrades and gives them the best as
surance that their interests will be
we'll served should he be chosen for
department commander.

EVANGELIST LUTHER's
CONVERSION
Used in Illustrating Theme The Last
Opportunity at First Baptist
Church.

At the First Baptist church Monday
evening Mr.. Luther told the story of
his own conversion, illustrating the
theme The Last Opportunity" the
text for which was found in Gen. $50,
my Spirit shall not always strive with
man" The text emphasizes four facts,
said the speaker. First, God strives
with men; a blessed fact; with ma
tions, as he strove with Israel; with
communities, as he strove with
Nineveh; with churches as he strove
with the seven churches in Asia, and
with individuals, as he strove with
saul Of Tarsus Second, the striving is
spiritual, touching mans spiritual ma.
ture, and hence not always or necessa-
rily apparent to others by outward
manifestation. Third, it has a limit q
last effort, followed by Anal deser-
ton. Fourth, this limit Is found In
man, Gin that he also is flesh" and
flesh hardens In resistance to God till
the soul is past feeling" as the Apos-
tie Paul writes.
Mr.. Luther believed ii was possible
for one to sin away the day Of grace
long before death comes, and quoted
the famous hymn of DR.. Alexander be-
ginning There is a time, we know not
when,'' etc. He believes he stood on
the verge Of that time the night he
yielded to God nearly thirty eight
years ago, and that If he had not
yielded then all opportunity to do so
would have passed forever. In attesta-
ton OF this he told a story Of known
resistance to the calls Of God, covering
the years of youth and well into the
twenties, which, If devoid Of the blood
curdling stories of many such preach
ers. was no less interesting in the STIR
ring recital of a persistent resistance
to means Of grace as varied as they
were thrilling.
Tonight no will speak upon open
Mouths" and tell of his first meeting
of his college mates after his CONVEX
sion.

TAFTVILL.E.
Andrew Nelson Found Badly Cut Up
Sohoolhoy Breaks Lee-Notes.

Andrew Nelson was found early
Sunday morning lying In the road in
front Of the Mueller block on Mer-
chants avenue. He had received cuts
from a knife on his throat and head
and several Of his teeth were knocked
out. He had bled profusely and was
in an extremely weak condition. He
was taken to his boarding place on
North B street. where he received
medical attention. His chance Of re-
covery is considered doubtful. 1t is
not known who Mr.. Nelson's assall-
ant was and why the deed. which
looks like an attempt at murder, was
done.
Mr.. Nelson himself knows the per-
son Who struck him. but refused to
tell when asked. There is, however, a
strong suspicion. Mr.. Nelson is a
weaver in the Ponemah mills, has
lived in Taftville for the last half
dozen years, excepting a short time
when he was working In Rhode Island
and has always enjoyed a good repu-
tation. He Is about IS years old

New Drug, PosIani, Now obtsinabIs IN
Small Quantities.


Since its discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslanh, has successfully
cured thousands OF chronic cases Of
eczema and other distressing skin
Affections. Heretofore poslam has
been dispensed solely for the benefit OF

found to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use II for minor skin
troubles, such as piniples. blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp. complexion
blemishes, itching feet. piles, ETC., which
require bat a small quantity to cure.
To overcome this, and In response TO
urgent appeals, the dispensers OIL
poslam have been obliged to adopt, IN
addition to the regular two-dollar
package. special fifty-cent size. which
in future may be found on sale az Lee
4 Osgood's, Smiths and other leading
drug stores in Norwich, or may be
ordered direct from the Emergency
Laboratories No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with fiTst appn-
cation. and proceeds to heal imme-
diately; chronic cases being cured IN
two weeks. In less serious SKIN
troubles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Poslam Is also on sale In Putnam at
