One OF the manifestations of a belief here
that this country and Canada win come to
some form OF reciprocity agreement is the
campaign now on to construct a public
highway from this city TO the Internal ional
boundary line at Coutts The road has
already been assured from Steele. about
twenty miles north OF here. to the Can
adian line, and that the twenty miles will
be built is apparently assured from state
ments OF members OF the county commits
sioners among them Kenneth h. McIver.
chairman, all OF whom have declared favor
ably TO the road
The road runs through a most fertile sec
don OF country. Shelby, Sun River Conrad
and dozen other smaller but prosperous
cities and towns are touched by the road
The counties and townships along the line
have voted favorably to the construction
and In some cases actual work is now I'm
progress. The plan is to make the road
BED suitable to change Il into a pike road
later when the population is more dense.
The belief here is that reciprocity is sure
TO come and that being the case the people
here see a great fertile trade territory to
the north Of the boundary. which they want
TO be ready to claim when the duty wall
has been pushed away.

Oklahoma Man Buys
Large Tract Of Land
For the Mennonites
7. W. Grow Gets Six Hundred Acre,
to Be Held for Colony of Rus

|. CARLSBAD. N. NJ, June 2-(Special. "A
deal has just been closed under the United
states reclamation service project here by
which T. w. Crow of Oklahoma City pur-
chases COO acres of land for a colony Of
Mennonites from Oklahoma The land was
sold for $4,000
The Carlsbad project has proven one of
the most successful that the reclamatio on
service has undertaken The history of
the project is interesting. The late j. j.
Hagerman, a Colorado millionaire, dis
covered the Pecos valley of New Mexico
in the early SOS. He came to New Mexico
after building the Colorado Midland rail-
road. then considered an engineering mar
vel and bringing with him several million
dollars which he had made in Colorado
mines. He built the Pecos Valley railroad
from Roswell to Carlsbad and connecting
with the Texas & Pacific at Pecos City
and built the first modern irrigation
project in New Mexico in the Pecos river
at Carlsbad. A sugar beet factory was
built; car loads of coonists were brought
In and hundreds of thousands OF dollars
expended. The project was taken over by
the Pecos Irrigation company. Disaster
after disaster followed the work of the
pioneers Floods In the Pecos river car
ried out their dams and washed out their
head gates. The sugar beet plant was
destroyed by fire; most of the colonists
left the country and those who stayed
eked out by a meager existence from the
land because of the uncertain water supply.
Then the government stepped in. bought
the project and built thoroughly modern,
enduring storage and canal system. There
are 10000 acres under the project and every
acre is now under cultivation. Lands under
the project lie south of the town of
Carlsbad and this year the whole district
looks like a garden. The land is held
chiefly in forty and slxty-acre tracts. Sub
stantial farm houses and barns have been
built. Hundreds of acres of orchard have
been planted and the Carlsbad peach has
become famous. The Mennonites who have
Just bought in this district are a sub
stantial class of energetic farmers. 1t is
probable that the government will ma
terially extend the acreage under this pro-
ject in the near future as abundant sur
plus water is available.

Mr.. and Mrs. Busy Shopper were host

Pea at the annual home welcome OF the
visitors from Kansas and other states
OF this glorious union during the last
week. Omaha was Just all abluster over
the arrival Of these little appetizing mem
bers OF the Graden Set, and you could
see women shoppers talking gibly to the
little green fellows at every market
place. Some Of the local members Of the
Vegetarian Clan were looking for French
peas, pilgrims from the land of fashion
and other things.
This business Of looking for things from
Paris and other European centers gets
you nowhere when you want things to
eat. Fashion cannot shape the growth
Of vegetables, so even the members of
the 400-or is 1t the 40000?-must eat things
that are grown at home in our own little
gardens by our own little gardeners. II
really is a shame that people cannot get
green peas, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers,
ETC.. from the merry center OF Paris.
Those vegetables would be so much more
delicious If they came from Paris and
breathed of the Rue de la Paix, or II
they were shipped from London and had
the atmosphere OF Bond street or Buck
ingham palace.
French Peas Sell Well.
These little French peas. however, to
get back to American, were sold for 10
cents quart Not very expensive, con-
sidering their fine flavor and their power
to satisfy a hungry appetite.
Among the other arrivals OF the week
were Mr.. Exhausted Cucumber and Miss

was not in such great demand as some of
the earlier arrivals. but he expects to get
around to all his friends during the week.

Oakland Youngsters
Help Movement for
City's Improvement
Appeal Of Boys and Girls is Heard by
the Voters and Bonds Are
Approved.

OAKLAND, Cal, June 2.-(SpeciaL)-
what age the civic influence of boys and
girls becomes effective was not settled def
nitely at the bond election in Oakland, May
16. but 1t was clearly demonstrated that
youngsters IN the primary and high school
can make an appeal to the voters that the
community Acknowledges to be logical and
founded on justice.
The proposition before the voters OF the
city of Oakland was to authorize bond
propositions amounting to approximately
SS.0O0.0O0. These propositions were for the
enlargement. purchase and Improvement
of sites. play grounds. school grounds and
for the municipal auditorium site and
building to cost $4,000.
Oakland is not behind even progressive
cities in provision for public schools, but
the additional equipment was demanded on
the ground that the children OF Oakland
are entitled to the very best facilities pos
sible to be obtained.
The campaign for the bonds was largely
made by the school children with COM
paratively little assistance from their eld-
ers, except In matters OF advice as to the
methods of procedure. "a
One Of the features of the bond cam
paign was a parade OF 1900 boys represent
ing all OF the forty-two grammer schools
and three high schools in the city public
school system. This procession marched
through the principal streets Of Oakland
in the middle OF the afternoon before the
day of the election and attracted larger
crowd of spectators than has ever been
brought together in Alameda county by a
political demonstration.
The result Of the election which followed
the next day was a vote of seven to two
In favor of the bond issue on all the
propositions submitted.
