 Utopia is a pleasant land Of large and roony flats, Where janitors are always bland And neighbors have no spats; Where railroad trains are still on time And trolleys neer delay; Where everyone is feeling prime And troubles never stay. Utopia is a magic realm, Quite free from earthly cares, Where debts no more may overwhelm, Nor false pride put on airs; Where gossip's tongue no longer wags And "knocking' is not allowed. No serpent-twining scandal drags Its length through all the crowd. Utopia is a fair domain
 Where all our dreams come true And life is like sweet refrain, Devoid of any rue. Did I but know where lies that land, In truth, I'd start today. Alas! l know not, though I fear Iris very far away.

 No, John D., we would not advise you to be harsh with the hired man when he shows disposition to shirk. Just take him off behind the barn and tell him that story of the OK and the mule, which is so effectively featured in the January Karat The OK got tired Of pulling a blow and proposed to the mule that they play off sick and get a rest. The mule objected, but the OK persisted. The owner, an un- suspicious man, thought the OK was really sick, so he bedded him down nice and left feed and water close by all the next day. The mule came in from work at night and reported that the master had not mentioned the ox's absence where upon the OK decided to work the same racket the next day. The master, as be-

Kimbrough & Morgan. the well.
drilling firm, have finished an even
dozen fine wells this spring, the
last two being for M. l.. Brem and
Captain Foster. They are now en-
gagged on the Gray we'll near Red
Mountain.
The Brem well goes through the
second stratum OF water at 10
feet with 2l feet of water-bearing
gravel. The pit is 81 feet deep.
Below this comes 30 feet of 2S-inch
casing, the other 81 feet being 10
inch casing. The first stratum Of
water was struck at 55 feet, but 1t
rises in the casing to the 20 foot
level. Mr.. Brem Is very enthusias-
tic about the well and will develop
a model farm. The family is al
ready settled in their fine new
ranch home.
AS Capt. Foster has only small
tract south Of the Harvey House
corral. his well Is only 66 feet deep
with II feet of water-bearing grav-
el. Sixteen inch casing is sufficient
for all the water Capt. Foster re-
quires.

In on a little Of the good things the
Little Vineyards Co. has planned Ia
do this season. Contracts have
been let TO Rbea a. Rhea for two
big wells, in which will be
installed American Well Works tur-
bine pumps Of the latest type capa-
BILE of easily bringing up twelve to
fifteen hundred gallons per minute,
each TO be driven by 35 hip Gen.
eral Electric motor. The whole
equipment will be as perfect as can
be made.
One of the big motors and part
Of the equipment Is here already
and both plants will be installed Just
as soon as the Rheas can finish the
wells.
The first crop will be California
pink beans which will put the land
in good condition for alfalfa. Con-
tracts are already made for 100
acres Of beans and five men stand
ready to double or treble the acre
age as soon as water is applied.
The company is selling small
tracts on easy payments with water
developed and will have a large
acreage under small leases to be
worked on shares. Other pumping
plants will be installed by the COM
pany as fast as possible.

T. l. Chase Gives Reasons
why They Must Increase
Many Fold
HE TALKS GOOD SENSE
Returns from California ia
Improve His Farm, South
east Of Deming.

| 7. L. Chase. brother Of +. M,
who has just returned from Califor
mia. gave the GRAPHIC q very pleas
ant interview. Monday morning
He took a piece Of land about foul
miles southwest Of town about three
years ago and Is now here. for the
purpose Of developing il. He told
people at the time that he would be
the owner Of hundred-dollar land in
a few years. and was given the
horse-laugh. Now the same peo-
pie pat him on the back and call
him a good prophet.
MIR. Chase has for ten years been
familiar with the irrigation systems
Of California. and gives It as his un-
qualified opinion that pumping Is
the best system and by far the most
satisfactory to the man who UNDER
stands irrigation or TO the man who
wants to learn. The community
ditch or pipe system. he asserts,
are always producing trouble Of
some sort while the pump always
brings water In the exact quantity
wanted and at the precise time de-
sired. In other words the owner of
a pump Is the absolute master of
his rainfall.
Mr.. Chase has seen California
land rise from $50 to $1,000. simply
because the value of the crops pro-
duced would cause the land to be
thus valuable. He says in some in
stances water Is piped for ten miles
by a series of pumping stations and
that land thus watered Is worth
from three to four hundred dollars
per acre. He figures that improved
pumps and electricity will soon
make pumping cost, where the lift
Is less than 2OOft., a trifllng part Of
the cost Of irrigation.
Heis greatly pleased with the
great development here during the
past year and has an abiding faith
in our future.
