UPPER VALLEY LAND

But one big sale was made In the
lower valley. This was the one in
which Felix Martinez and Silberberg
Bros. transferred to I. W. Hoenes 43

deal in itself, for the money consider
alton was not as large as many others
which had been closed during the
month But Mr.. Hoenes is a practical
irrigationist. To prove this he is not
going TO sit down and wait for the wa
ter to come down the bitches when the
big dam is completed Instead, he is
arranging to install a pumping plant
system by which water can be put on
his land when water is needed and not
when weather prophet wills it, as has
been the case in the past.
Upper valley land had the call this
week, there being three important
deals closed in the lower Mesilla val
ley district. r. n. Reagan, of Willard,
n. NJ, bought 40 acres from E. B. Boy
er, Of FL Paso, in the famous La Mesa

COnceives Idea in Chicago.
Archbishop Vilatte conveived the
idea Of establishing his back to the
soil" colony while a social worker
among the foreign population of Chi
cagO and at Green Bay, Wis, where
he was a missionary for seven years.
Seeing the natives of France, his ma
tive home, working at the most mental
tasks, when they had been accustomed
to cultivating the vineyards of the
French districts, father Vilatte started
on a search for a tract of land where
these people and the members of other
foreign colonies similarly located, could
be taken and where they could till the
soil and earn their living under better
conditions than those of the city tene-
ment districts.
The tract of $4,000 acres was pur-
chased by the archbishop after he had
visited a number of places in the west
and southwest. Because its climate
was similar TO that of the warmer
of Europe and because of the
fertility of the soil, the land was pur-
chased in northern Chihuahua and op-
erations started in June. A we'll was
sunk, the ground cleared, and Temporal
