carly Days in the Arkansas valley
When the demonstration train
vas in Rocky Ford and the lee
turers were pain ling the pictures
of prosperity evidenced by the
great quantity of alfalfa being
grown throughout the valley and
of the quantity of stock being fed
on alfalfa, there was in the aud
fence an old gentleman in whom
The story started a train of remin-
thews, who settled in Rocky Ford
in 1871. He said:
When heard the lecturers tell
ing of the Impressions they receiv-
ed on this trip, thought of the
time in 1874 when 1 planted the
hrst alfalfa ever grown in the Ar
kansas Valley, little patch of less
than an acre. / bought the seed
Of ]. d. Miller in Pueblo, paying
10 cents a pound for 1t, and / did
not know whether ! was getting 1t
heap or paying too much for 1t.
in fact, neither Mr.. Miller nor
knew really what 1t was, but he
told me they had been growing 1t
in California, and they said 1t
was a fine forage crop. There had
oeen some seed sown in Pueblo the
year before but they failed to get
stand. The same year 1 tried it
small patch wassown on the Pur-
gatoire, six miles from its mouth"
He then scratched his head and
said:

early days, compared with condi-
ions today. / arrived here in 1871
md stayed the first winter with
Asa Russell at the old Rocky Ford,
who was then the only resident of
his section. There were two fam
lies living at LaJunta and one at
the place now called Swink, and
he other at Anderson arroyo, from
whence the name came. These
were cattle tnieving outfits from
Texas, and I guess they soon went

idents on the south side between

The science and effort of the
artist was plainly observable on
entering the coliseum. Only space
for avenues were left by the plan
of booths to be filled by the useful
and beautiful products OF the
soil. The booths themselves had
decoration and finish of pillar, col
or and artificial leaf and vine
spreading out over a beautifully
curved. laticed covering. The ar
rangement of the booths had
unity in variety that from the gal
lery resembled fairyland especially
when in the blaze of the thousand
electric lights.
Near the center of the coliseum
stood the quaint, old time adobe
mission occupied by the Navajo and
Hopi indians and wherein, espec-
tally in the afternoon. the weaving
of Navajo blankets by some Of the
most noted of their artists and the
performance of ceremonial dances
directed by Laszo, one of the most
noted directors in either nation,
were to be seen. OF course these
indians we're dressed after the
fashion of their tribes and some OF
the garments worn, especially by
the young women, were exceeding
ly tasteful as habiliments and rich
in decoration.
Thaviu's Russian band occupied
a place in the north gallery where
they seemed to be at the foot OF
the Yosemite Falls, where as you
gazen from the south the water
appeared to be falling in realty
over the high precipiee. The Ha-
waiian Royal singers seemed to
have no certain pace of habitation
but as musical nomads might be
seen on different occasions in diff
ferent parts of the great gallery
or on the platform in one of the
great lecture halls. OF course 1t
goes without saying that the music
produced by these celebrated mus
icians was choice in selection and
rendition, and they were heard Of
ten during every afternoon and
evening.
The galleries were filled to over
flowing with the exhibits Of Uncle
Sam covering especially agricul-

ture and the United States navy.
In the booths within the area OF
floor space below were placed by
/ the respective occupants the finest
products of the United States and
the most artistic and attractive way
that human ingenuity could devise.
| Products from the far north and
from the extreme south blushingly
and charmingly gave their contrast
of utility and beauty. while the
east and the west strove in all
kindly emulation to surpass each

the Bitter Root valley of Montana

FORT LYON MEETING
Annuatl Meeting Of Stockholders
Well Attended and Lively
Scrap

About fifty OF our people vel
armed with proxies Went up TO Las
Animas ON Monday morning 10 at
ing Oh the Fort Lyon Canal Com
pany. There was large attend
ance OF the stockholders ana Wis
itors and the usual lively scraI
and especially the election of d.
rectors-
About two-thirds of the $4,000
shares were represented accordine
committee consisting of Ray Nc
Grath, C. NJ. Lee. ]. J. Cooper. b.
T. McCdave and S. G. Porter, was
appointed to consult with the di-
rectors and recommend the assess
ment for the next year. They re-
ported as follows after thorough
investigations:
Interest on bonds and
bills payable. &c per
share -. .$2o'zoo w
Operating expense age. 10000 90
Operating dredge 16c.. 1920 90
U. S. Sugar Land Co.
Total soc .... $500. $75,3OO W
After discussing the report the
stockholders amended by deciding
to borrow the money for operating
the dredge and substituting a &c
per share assessment for interest
on the amount needed for operat-
ing 1t. This made the general as
sessment &c per share. The &C
special assessment for suit was the
amount assessed against the Fort
Lyon by the valley association OF
ditch companies. The assessment
last year was coo per share. There
was considerable acrimonious de-
bate over the assessment. Attorney
H. L. Lubers. thinking he was still
in the legislature, attempted to
air some OF his Tom Patterson
speeches for the benefit of the
stockholders, but was called down
SO hard by d. B. Novels that he
had to quit cold.
The nomination of directors be-
ing in order seven candidates were
nominated as follows: d. B. Now
els. DR.. ]. 6. Hasty. c. b. Ray
Ray McGrath, d. Mcintosh. Robt.
Heiser and j.. b. o'Neil. Messrs.
Novels and Hasty got the highest
votes Of any candidates. and the
only reason that Prowers county
failed to get the third director was
the unfortunate division of the
vote between Ray McGrath and c.
b. Ray. which defeated both. and
resulted in the election OF the fol-
lowing board: d. b. Novels. j. s.
Hasty, d. Mcintosh. Robt. Heiser
and j.. b. O'Neil. This is the old
board with J. B. o'Ner substituted
for c. B. Ray.
