Fine Roads Another Feature.

When the irrigation work was under way
the agitation for good roads had secured a
beginning in Colorado. and the promoters
of the great South Platte acreage laid the
Foundation for a system of fine roads that
would do credit to any old Eastern state.
Towns with the modern improvements de-
manded by the up-to-date American were
built In a few years the extensive valley
was a region where transporta ton, schools,
churches and community life of the best
were offered to the new settler.
AS the crops hourished so did the health
Of the farmers and their families. No more
heaIthful section could be found The in
MIGRATING air, absence OF nlalarial vapors,
months OF sunshine and absence of the rig
ors Of winter all made for Astounding health
and that snap and enterprise peculiar to
mountainous regions.
The transportation problem had been
solved long before irrigation was adopted
Stations we're built along the route of the
enterprising railroad as the demand for &C
cess appeared. These railroad shipping
places have been distributed along the val
ley, so that long hauls are not necessary
The settler does not have to waste much
time in loading his crops for market. And

healthfulness of the climate and excellent

man behind the plough who is responsible
for ultimate success. And so far there

TO be idle. It buoys invigorates and inpels

as they come up can be solved by the gov

Produces Enormous Vegetables.

To the man OF the city or the old-fash-
toned farm conducted in the old-fashioned
way the story of the crops in the West
seems like q fine bit of myth. When he
reads of onions weighing thirty ounces,
cabbages twenty pounds and beets nearly
as heavy he is inclined to. think of hot
house cultivation. But these figures are
matters of record in the South Platte VAL
lev. and are not isolated instances of mar
veious growth,
While the cereals produce great crops,
alfalfa returns enormous tonnage and the
vegetables seem 10 be of abnormal growth.
the beet root possibilities incline the settler
TO that crop To mention one farmers re-
turns will give an idea of the general pro-
ductiveness of the land when planted in
the sugar producing vegetable.
From a farm of twenty acres one of the
settlers who obtained his land at a figure
far below 800 an acre, harvested $50 tons
Of sugar beets, worth $3.50, Much more
than half of this was clear profit. More
than half would have been profit If the land
had cost 500 an acre but it was bought for
far less than that and there Is still much
of the best land for sale at a price that
would insure a handsome income in farms
from twenty acres upward.
There are plenty of farmers in the South
Platte country who have made returns TO
the associations and the railroad showing
incomes even greater than from beet root,
the top-notch returns being from potatoes,
onions and alfalfa. But there Is a leaning
TO the sugar beet because of ease Of pro-
duetion and accessibility of the market: OF
course, the market for ali the crops Is al
most at hand, but the shipping cost makes
difference.

NJ MURRAY FIRM HIT

WAS OFFERED SHARE
IN FEES.
MORE OF 100000 SCHEME
Alleged Promoter of Plan to Sell $780,
100000 Worth of Land Says In
dams Sought His Aid Because Gov
eminent Was Slow.

McAlister, Okla.-The feature Of the
hearing Monday before the congress
sional committee which is inquiring
into the McMurray contracts with the
Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians and
the charges of attempted bribery made
by Senator Gore, was the testimony
given by D. c. McCurtain, son of Gov
ernor McCurtain, who was recalled to
the stand
He testified that he had an agree
nept with the firm of Mansfield, Nc
Murray and Cornish that he was to
have one-fourth of the fees they re-
ceived and that the share thereof
coming to him was 1887, 500.
McCurtain said this occurred two
years before McMurray offered him
$4,000 to not oppose the approval of
the contracts.
w. T. Holman, a Choctaw Indian,
testified he had been employed by j.
F. McMurray, holder Of the contracts.
to go out among the Cklahoma In
dams and induce them to sign the
documents. AT the same time, Holl-
man related, he was paid "a dollar a
head" for securing contracts appoint
ing McMurray to act in tax cases. In
this way McMurray procured 10000
contracts to sell land.
Il would have given 25 per cent. to
McMurray," said HOLMAN, IF he could
have soften us the money quickly.
He said he believed some of the In
dams would be willing to give McMur-
ray rs per cent"
In a statement to the committee
and without going on the stand, Nc
came 10 him originally against his de-
sires. He said the Indians at war
council had demonstrated their i'm
patience at the governments alleged
slowness IN the selling of the land and
had called upon him to take the job
luctance.
Questioned further, Holman testi-
fed II was the belief of the Indians
that their property was worth from
$50, 100000 to $4,000, 900, and the un-
derstanding was McMurray was to get
ten per cent. OF this.

McMurray had some power at Wash
ington by which he would be able to
get more quickly that if you left it

sentative E. W. Saunders of Virginia.
