This part has seen three distinct

away from trouble back home. Some
found the prices Of land too high In

say, came here to escape from Justice;
but all were friendly and free-heartcd

But rough as the first settlers were
they had sense OF honor not to be
found In the second cOmcrs. The re-
ports OF the tlourishing young land
where an easy living could be made,
attracted the undesirable citizens
from many states. The people who
read the yellow journal stories OF the
bad man OF the west and the cowboys
who shoot up the town, began to
stream into the valley to get rich
quick and have some adventures.
This class was detrimcnt to the
country. and they bought but, failing
to meet their payments, lost their
land and became renters. What few
houses they had built were neglected.
fences were destroyed and the farms
became weed patches.
Irrigated lands. under older bitches,
OF a quality inferior to ours, became
valuable and the investor became in
terested. He made his eastern far mcr
friends acquainted with the possibil-
ities. Then came the third stage Of
our growth. Men Of culture, educa-
tion and industry began coming in to
essaSlish good farms, legitimate bus

these we enjoy at the present time.

OTERO WINS TROPHY
Heorst Cup for Best General Ex-
hibit is Ours Also Win
Governors Cup

At late hour yesterday afternoon
the good news reached Ordway of the
winning OF the $1,000 Hearst cup by
OterO county.
This trophy was given by William
Randolph Hearst for the best general
exhibit at the Irrigation Congress and
was the means of inspiration for
lively contest among the different
counties OF the state.
OterO won, not so much on the
quality OF the products exhibited as
on the variety and arrangement. No
one could find fault with the fruit
exhibited from Otero, but other coun-
ties probably had as good. The grains,
honey. vegetables, etc, all helped in
winning the trophy.
Early in the week many OF the del
cgatcs from other counties admitted
that Otcro was sure to win the cup
In addition to the Hearst trophy,
Otcro also carries Off the Governors
cup for the best display OF grains and
grasses. 1t looks as though Otero got
most cverything in sight.
Conejos county had grain that stood
higher than Il tall man, caulitlower as
large as a lO-quart pail, a pumpkin
weighing 03 pounds and some tine al
falfa, but had to take back seat for
Otcro, the banner county OF the state.
The presentation OF the cups takes
place this morning at Mineral palace
and there will probably be some de-
monstration by Otcro county people
that will be worth while.
The Ordway band planned to come
home last night but decided to remain
over for the festivities.
Hurrah for Otero!

Looking | Back Twenty Years
By ]. F. Auckland

1t is hard to give any idea Of the
rapid growth and development Of that
part OF the Arkansas valley tributary
to the Bob Creek canal. The truth
can only be realized by those who saw
the country twenty years ago. AT
that time ride from Jones' Point to
Ordway would bring into view but
three houses, a very few fenced tracts
Of land, and an occasional cottonwood
tree. As far as the eye could reach
In any direction nothing could be seen
but the brown prairie dotted with
herds OF cattle and horses. Here and
there settler could be seen making
irrigatlng bitches and building barbed
wire fences. Some of these people
had small tents though most OF them
had but u covered wagon and very
scanty equipment with which to start
farming.
The first years were a constant
struggle for existance. The Bob
Creek canal was one OF the newest on
the river and at that time did not
have any reservoirs for storing up a
water supply. Dry years and hard
times came together and those who
had money enough to move on left
the country. Those who remained
fought doggedly on, some dropped by
the wayside, while others made a
scanty living.
After few years the water supply
increased and times became little
better. For a time the lean and fat
years we're pretty well mixed. In
ls9- the water company acquired the
Twin Lakes Reservoir and from that
time on the country began to flourish.
The industrious farmer planted and
reaped large crops, the reports Of his
success brought others into the valley
and at the present time thousands OF
acres, which the cattle man b0asted
would always be his, are now produc-
ing alfalfa, sugar beets, melons, small
grains, all kinds OF vegetables. fruits
Of the best quality, and, In fact all
products that can be raised In this
latitude. These not only support the
thousands Of people engaged In culti-
waiting the soil but also supply food
and clothing for many more thousands
abroad.
The bleak prairie OF twenty years
ago is now covered with a great yari.

road is lined with splendid shade trees

Didn't Cook I'm Right

"Of all the tastclcss, mussy, mud

one OF the piscatorial enthusiasts
seated about tavern lre.

PAYS TO ENCOURAGE BIRDS
Assertion Made That Farmers Would
Find It tA Their Interest to
Protect Songsters.

What may be done in the encourage
ment OF naturally migratory song birds
to remain north during the winter has
been demonstrated at the farmhouse
OF George Z. Hoxsie during the. last
winter. where a colony of II bluebirds
have contentedly lived and apparently
enjoyed their quarters In the bird
houses where they were reared last
summer.
1t ts quite interesting to watch their
modes OF living. as their habits OF pro-
curing food have to be entirely differ
ent from what they are in summer.
Every fairly pleasant morning by
the time 1t is light they fly away and
are not seen again until near sunset.
when they return individually and go
into the bird houses. several occupying
one house. and all on the same build.
ing.
Mr.. Hoxste has about his place 22
bird houses. all Of which were accu.
pied last season. there being two nests
of bluebirds and 20 nests of stump
swallows.
Besides these there were raised
about the buildings four nests of barn
swallows. one nest OF chimney swal-
lows. and seven nests of cave swal-
lows. As these would average four
young birds to each nest. the number
raised. with the old ones added. would
make approximately 200 birds.
Then there were within 500 feet Of
the house ten robin nests. one oriole.
one waxwing. one house wren. two
chippins. two ground sparrows and one
king bird. making in all Is nests. and
with these young and old added would
make a total Of 300 misunderstanding
songsters that were not only q contin-
ual Joy. but source Of rare profit In
TIE great number Of gnats. lies. bugs
and worms daily consumed.
Mr.. Hoxsie attributes a big yield Of
apples last season to the destruction
by the birds Of the insect pest that In
fects the apples from bloom to finish.
II every farmer would put up few
suitable bird houses It would soon
make q vast difference to the raising
pf farm products.-Westerly Sun.

gan before the discovery Of America.
II Il estimated that the entire pro-
ject will cost approximately 100000.
The Eagle dam as planned by the rec
lamation service will be one Of the
most remarkable structures Of its kind
In the world. It will be of rubble con-
crete. gravity type. with maximum
height Of 2e6 feet. length Of crest 1.400
feet, and will contain 100000 cubic
yards. The reservoir created by 1t
will be the largest artificial body OF
water In the world, having a capacity
of 2,63S. 900 acre feet. or enough water
TO cover that many acres a foot deep.
Its capacity Is nearly double that OF

entertainment and instruction of the
patrons OF the course and their eXper.
ience last year proved beyond doubt
that 1t pays.
The attractions this year are all
high-class and those who miss even
one number will regret it exceedingly.
The first will appear on Wednesday,,
October 18th. John b. Ratio, giving
character studies from life will please
both old and young.
The Lcavenworth Times lauds this
remarkable genius In the following
words:
"Mr. Ratio is an impersonator OF re-
markable ability and swaycd his au-
dience from screams OF delight to
tears Of sadness at will. While most
of the program was of humorous ma
ture, here and there lie slipped in a
touch Of the darker side OF life that
never failed to score heavily and
bring handkerchicfs to the eyes OF
many. One OF the features of his en-
tertainment that was distinct nov
city, was the "making-up" OF the
character before the audience. The
make-ups were quickly done and as
true as was his impersonation OF the
character Itself. 1t would be hard to
say which number pleased best"
Following Ratio will come the Kel-
logg- Haincs singing party. All the
members are strictly high.class musi.
clans.
Congressman Alden Is next on the
program. lie has reputation as a
lecturer far above the average.
The announcement that Opie Read
will be the next on the course will be
hailed with delight by all who have
heard OF this great humorist. 1t will
be worth the price OF u season ticket
