spring Mr.. Braun has a fine well
sunk to a depth of 700 feet. His place
is fenced and looks like farm way
up jim Maine or New Hampshire.
out beyond Mr.. Braun's place Mr..
A. Ladner is making history that is
good Last year Mr.. Ladner put in
twenty acres to alfalfa This is what
he said to me yesterday: -Four months
from the day that 1 sowed the alfalfa
I cut the second crop of hay. l stacked
10 tons of hay during the season from
nv twenty acres and sold the hay at
SIS per ton and upward. 1 realized
anough money the Crst year from the
hay to pay for the land, clearing, level
ing and seeding" Do you thing that
I am right when / say that this coun-
try Yill grow? ,e.,eo
SIS. Lee has twenty acres of alfalfa
a half mile west of town and irrigates
it from one artesian well. The water
spurts about a foot above the well,
which is six inches in diameter. There
is a steady flow of forty-one inches,
actual measurement. Mr.. Lees well
is one of the best in the valley
Big Pumping Plant
seven miles west VI lONii - d. nam
ilton, from Holly, N. Y, is doing good
work. He has put down fine well
and installed a costly pumping plant.
He has erected a six-room house made
from concrete blocks. He has in thirty
acres of alfalfa and ten acres of apples
and pears. He has a flowing well on
his place.
Six miles west of Lancaster is the
Post ranch, one of the important spots
of the valley. Mr.. Post is a banker
of Pasadena He has been spending
lots of money on his place. He now
has in eighty acres of alfalfa and is
going to increase this acreage to 100.
He has 500 acres of land in one body
and has an unlimited supply of water,
and will one day have a model farm.
Mr.. Post never loses an opportunity
to say a good word for this valley.
E. c. Coleman lives on his fine farm
two miles southwest of town. He is
one of the ld-timers, and has in forty
acres of alfalfa. He also has dairy.
His water for irrigation is gurgling
from the depths of the eartn through a
hole in the ground called an artesian
well.
This is also quite cattle country.
The herds range along the hills to the
east and west of Lancaster. Among
the principal cattlemen might be

improvements. for $4,000 cash.
East of the house stand the great
timbers that once were the roosting
rendezvous of the hundreds of tur-
keys that were herded like sheep 4pon
the farm lands. The turkeys roasted
high and came down late IN order to
keep from making breakfasts for the
coyotes that came to the edge of the
clearing and looked longingly at the
rows of sleeping birds. The last bunch
of turkeys sold by the owners of the
ranch brought $4.25 each in the market
and there were 500 marketed at that
time. Perhaps in the near future the
turks" may again roost upon the lone
some racks of the Sierra Madre rancho.
The Bartlett alfalfa ranch, four miles
east of the Sierra Madre, comprising
thirty, acres, was this season rented
at $50 per acre cash rent. Alfalfa the
second year or any year thereafter VIII
bring that rent, and the people here
are anxious to get the chance to pay
$50 per year per acre.
Two miles east of town w. F. Rabe
is making some noticeable improve
ments. He has a fine patch of alfalfa
and has put out an orchard. Mr.. Rabe
is a recent arrival from Chino. He is
here to stay.
Farms at Edge of Town
West of Lancaster the farms begin
at the edge of town and extend to the
foothills There the grain farmer is
found upon his immense tracts of cul-
tivated ground Some of the people out
that way have become wealthy in
few years. They depend upon rain out
in the hills, and the weather man has
been real good to them during the
past few seasons.
Max Godde, one of the most respected
men in this section, farms several hun
dred acres annually. He has become
wealthy, now owning ten acres of land
in the edge of Los Angeles, as well as
a fine home there. His family resides
in the city during the winters. His
children are attending school there. Mr..
Godde has a brother who is also a
very successful grain farmer. Some OF
the finest apples and pears in the
world are raised in the foothills to the
west of town. Fruit is grown there
without irrigation.
Henry Braun, a wealthy man, with
extensive interests in Los Angeles,
owns forty acres of land less than a
mile west of Lancaster. He values his
farm and improvements at $4,000. He
has a, fine house and large barns. He
has twenty acres of alfalfa that has
been producing from nine to twelve
tons per acre annually. A sign tacKed

can tell?
The Southern Pacific road passes
through Lancaster, cutting the town
almost in halves, and as the records
Of the freight and passenger depart
ments will prove takes on and leaves
a large number of people each month,
besides leaving many carloads of mer-
chandise for the town and surround
ing country. Many heavily laden
freight cars are hauled away from its
sidetrack weekly. Yes, the town Of
Lancaster is on the guide books and
maps of the Southern Pacific.
For miles and miles on each side of
the town stretch almost unbroken
patches of sagebrush. But listen! That
covering of sage is as sure an indica-
ton of rich, productive land as is
tule thicket of water One has but to
clear away the brush and plant the soil
to grain, fruit or alfalfa to read rich
returns.
OF course now you will speak right up
and say that land in this section Of
Los Angeles county is worthless with
out water for irrigation purposes. I
agree with you, and will add that it is
almost worthless for farming without
an abundance of water. But the water
is here.
Bore into the ground where you may
and you will find water in great guam
titles. Bore deep enough, say from 500
to 700 feet, and you will get a fine flow
of artesian water. Stop the we'll at
from 200 to 300 feet and you will have

Lancaster is also quite a center for

as many as five or six ten-mule
teams pulling out or coming IN at one
time. The freight is shipped here for
North and South Portal and freighted
out by team.

RY D. D. MCDONALD

LANCASTER, Cal, Jan. 29.-Sev-
enty-eight miles north of Los Angeles,
in the heart of the Antelope valley,
lies the little town of Lancaster, des-
tined to become famous in the near
future for it's shipments of fruits, hay,
grain, dairy products, vegetables, ber-
ries, poultry, etc.
At the present writing Lancaster Is
but a dot upon the map, a mere cir
cumstance, as it were, among the
great happenings of the age, but it
win not always be thus. AS L sit in
the early evening penning this article
1 can hear the tuneful melodies en-
anating from the throats of numerous
coyotes that skulk through the sage
brush in the very edge of town. I say
in the very edge of town, for the lots
on the two main business streets stop
where the sage begins, and the coyotes
stop only where the lots begin; so,
indeed they are in the very edge of
town. The deeper intonations of the
voices of the watchful dogs punctuate
the incessant howlings of the deni-
zens of the brush, thus promoting
feeling of safety in the breasts of the
fowls that roost placidly in their little
pens on the backs of the residence
lots. Thus it is in Lancaster today.
Scenes VIII Change
But the awakening is at hand, and
soon the scenes and sounds will
change Back and still farther back
will the line of sagebrush be forced,
and back and still farther back will
the coyotes be forced to forage for
their Scanty living, until the stranger
in the city will not be awakened from
his peaceful slumbers by the tumultu-
Gus nocturnal choruses. The more IA
t11ilinr GOI1nHG that with the
proach of civilization will be heard
instead. 1t is not predicting too much
to say that possibly within five years
from the present time the buzz of the
street cars will be heard upon the
main streets Of Lancaster. Possibly
the erstwhile little hamlet will be
knocking for admission into the cor

acres and acres of alfalfa or fruit land
In the latter case, of course, 1t is neces-
sary to pump the water; but as IL
comes UP to within ten, feet of the sur
face the lift is an easy one. The best
artesian wells flow from twenty-five to
forty inches of water. With a pump a
stream of water is raised which is only

De Won now believe that the supply of
water is adequate to the needs of the

In following up the question of water
and wells, 1t is of record that within
the past three years more than 400 wells
have been sunk within a radius OF tif-
teen miles from Lancaster. Estimating
that the average depth Is 300 feet, II
may easily be seen that the wells, IL
bored one beneath the other would
reach a place from whence no bad Lam
caster citizen returns.
Well Rigs at Work
There are a number of well boring
rigs constantly at work in this section

ing business 1 might mention l.: b.

for the past twenty years or more, has
practically retired from active boring.
Mr.. REYNOLDS came here a poor boy.
Now he is wealthy and has the respect

questioned in Lancaster. Mr.. Reynolds
estimates that he has bored several
miles of wells.
