Interesting Facts From the
Colorado Farming and
Fruit Districts
CONDITIONS NOT 50 GO00
And Expense Much Greater In Colorado Than
Here for Intensive Farming
and irrigation.

As this county has the opportunity
to become one Of the great examples
to the world Of what can be done in
intensive farming, by utilizing the
underAow and the food waters OF the
Arkansas river, any information re
garding the subject OF irrigation is Of
vital interest. IT is new subject
here. Many have figured our pres
ent crops are good enough, and have
lost sight OF the fact that by utiliH-
ing the water we could raise three
times as much on less land, that
the land wouldbe several times more
valuable, and that where we could
make ten farms Of what is at present
used for one, we would be in effect,
making that part Of the county used
in intensive farming ten times as big.
1t is interesting to note how
quickly the Colorado farmer takes
up an irrigation project. as illustrat-
ed recently at Canon City, Colo,
where the Colorado Southern Irriga-
ton Company, during one week,
signed contracts with land owners
between Canon City and Pueblo for
water from it's proposed Line Canal
in the Arkansas Valley exceeding
those Of any corresponding period in
the history Of the company.
Contracts for.irrigation OF 47,5OO
acres have been sold in seven deys at
$500 per acre, which means that
the land owners must pay the lrriga-
i "a Company $3,562,5oo. 90 @exclu-
dive Of interest within the next 20
years or lose their property. Ar
rangements we're, at the same time,
completed whereby the $4,000 acre
aHill Pastures" just sold BY Craw-
ford Hill Of Denver, will be brought
under the Company's bitches. This
property is east Of Florence and is
one of the finest bodies Of land in
that section Of the state and to turn
wster on this section alone will cost
more than two millions Of dollars.
There isn't a farmer or resident OF
Ford County that does not know
that water on our lands will make
them Of greater value than the lands
in Colorado around Canon City and
Paeblo, owing to the fact that we
have in addition TO the Identical eli
mate Of Colorado about two months
longer growing season.
This .means that in our alfalfa
Lands alone we should be able to get
over / to Q tons per acre more alfalfa
than could be done in Colorado or to
grow, according to the alfalfa har-
vest IN Colorado, four to six tons Of
alfalfa per acre aud then obtain q

sided over by General Rufus Putnam,
of revolutionary fame, to consider the
plan of establishing an institution of
learning. The Muskingum Academy,
established in a plain and modest log
house, was the outcome of the meet
ing. David Putnam, graduate of
Yale, was the first principal. This
school was steadily improved as an
institution for higher education until
it took on the character of college
and in 1888, at another meeting of
Mariettas citizens, it was decided to
establish the school upon permanent
basis. Two years later, in the month
of June, the institution was chartered
under the name of Marietta College.
Although the college was never sub
sidized by the state, but was main
tanned altogether by voluntary sub
scription, it has maintained a high
standard and has become
famous throughout the country. An
effort will be made by the trustees to
raise 100000 to place the institution
upon a better financial basis.

THIRD RAIL CAR KILLS OWL
First Night Bird to Be Fatally DazzIed
by Brilliant searchlight Of
Electric Car.

Hazleton, Pa.-Cars of the third
rail system running between this city
and Wilkesbarre have struck and
killed all kinds of animals and birds
that infest the woods surrounding the
line on Nescopeck mountain and
which are generally caught on the
tracks in the dead of night.
Recently, however, a bird that is
supposed to have its best vision in
pitch darkness, an owl, fell 3 victim
to the exceptionally bright headlights
with which the big coaches are
equipped.
The owl became confused, just az
other members of the bird and ami.
NAL families have been, by the bril-.
liant illumination of the tracks as the
car hove in sight. The crew stopped
and brought back the owl to this city
to have it mounted. 1t was the first
owl killed on the road in this way,
and Conductor White will keep it as
trophy.
