intrepid, p. +. Kern, the we'll
known capitalist and mine owner,
representing the Hon-Pattberg Real
ty Co.. of Deming. have completed
arrangements for the development
Of sixteen thorsand acres Of the
rich valley land about lola and Hon
dale.
Mr.. Kern's idea, as outlined to
the GRAPHIC. Is as follows:
A good well will be put down on
the highest point in each half Sec
ton. u survey Of which Is now be-
ing made. four white flags being
placed on l6-foot poles. at the cor
ner Of each tract, red flag mark
ing the highest point. When these
wells are finished and satisfactorily
tested for 1000 gallons per minute.
the locators will sign up their land
TO the Secretary of the Interior who
will permit the land TO be bonded
for twelve dollars per acre for the
purpose Of cultivating 100 acres for
each 800. The bonds will run for
six years at six per cent. The cost
of putting into cultivation the
amount Of land as above described,
il M follows. exclusive Of digging
the well: --

Pumps and motors for fifty
half sections $500
First year cultivation Of 5000
acres $1,000
Fencing of fifty half sections $1,000
Miscellaneous expenditures 4,500
Total : l92,OOO
One of the locators has figured
out the following statement, which
will be of general interest:
Total cost of locating and filing
on 800 acres siSi.s
Digging well to yield 1000 gal

Total TO be expended before
land is bonded s5A.s5
Profit ON 100 acres first year $50

The Estancia schools will

that every pupil be on hand

has delayed the opening for
two weeks in order to give all
an opportunity to have the
work as far out of the way as
possible, so that all may be on
hand at the opening.
The board has arranged to
have the building cleaned and
in good condition. The doors
both outside and inside have
been ordered changed so as to
swing outward instead of in

when the building was
erected.

ing this doctrine and they have
learned from experience.
The small farm will eliminate
the greater part of the labor
problem, for the farmer may care
for his own ten acre tract and not
be forced to depend on outside
help aside from harvest time.
The ten acre tract will make
the farmer independent of all
water right for he can bring all
he wishes up from the ground
and ask no questions.
1t will assure sufficient supply,
for if one we'll fails to supply
enough he may sink another in
fact he can sink and equip a great
many with windmills before he
has expended the price of one
artesian well.
The cutting of the big farms
into ten acre tracts and selling
them to settlers will do worlds
towards populating the valley,
for many a man can see his way
clear 20 tend his ten acres and
could be induced to purchase on
reasonable terms, who could not
buy a large tract or sink an ar
tesian we'll thereon.
Instead of one family on a thou
sand acres there will qe ten fami-
lies on a hundred and sixty acres.
The population capable og being
prosperously cared for by the
Pecos on its ten acre farms is so
large that it staggers one to COM
prehend it, but such is its ulti-
mate destiny.

THE SMhLL
FHRM IN
The VALLEY

Liz lOlloW lllS ColIollo lol III CiS
Roswell Record applies with the
same force or greater to the Es.
tancia Valley that it does to the
Pecos Valley. With irrigation,
the small farm will prove the
ideal in the Estancia Valley,
where the soil and climate, with
water easily available, can not be
surpassed. The Estancia Valley
will thus provide homes for thou
sands, where without irrigation
dozens only can be Accommodated.
Hasten the day of the small irri-
gated farm in the Estancia Val
ley:
The one thing that stands out
over every other before the trav-
eler in the Pecos Valley is the
logic of the small farm as against
the failure seen everywhere from
attempts to farm more than can
have proper attention.
Il attempted too much, - says
one. Il tried to spread all over
creation, says another. Every
where the farmers themselves
are realizing that the Pecos will
not be a land of big farms, but
that the most common farm in
the valley will be the ten-acre
tract.
Some time the artesian flow will
not be sufficient upon which hope
can afford to be placed for crop
raising. When that time may
come, we can not say. 1t may
be in few years and it may be
in a hundred years. But some
time it will be such that attention
will be forced to other means for
irrigation.
In that day it will be the wind
mill and the pump that will be at
the base of the irrigation projects
and the surface water will be
utilized. Wells from ten to twen-
ty feet will furnish most of the
water and the ten-acre farmer
will own them himself. He will |
turn the water on when it is
needed and ask no questions con-
cerning his neighbours interest
therein for his neighbor will not
be concerned. -
The Pecos Valley farmer of the
future will net more money from
his ten acre tract than the aver
age North Dakota or Montana
farmer nets from his quarter sec
ton. A ten-acre orchard, a ten
acre garden, ten acres of berries,
or of Denias, when cared for in
the Pecos Valley is a gold mine
for the owner.
In the days of the ten acre farm |
land will sell for from one to two
thousand dollars per acre and will |
produce accordingly. The man
who does not net several thousand |
dollars from his ten acres will |
fail because he wills to and not |
because he mus. The valley will |
be filled with well-to-do farmers
and will be the nearest approach |
to Eden since Adam fell from |
grace. These things are not
speculative. They are seen on
every hand. Especially are those
with large farms loud in preach |

Feeling that he had together a
bunch of old heads who could come
back long enough to defeat the Lew

the Firemen's team, was treated to a
rude surprise by the husky youngsters
at the fair grounds Sunday afternoon,
the final score being IA to 3.
For about five innings, it looked
like real ball game. The Colts had
all sorts of trouble in locating Don
Andersons southpaw offerings and
went scoreless until almost the mid
die of the game, but Don's wing gave
way and Frank Carleton's was no bet
ter. When the Colts began to hit, the
brave firemen began to play horse
with the ball and scores piled up thick
and fast.
1t looked like Jergens, the elongated
pitcher for the Colts, would have the
honor Of shut-out, but the beans
were spilled in the last inning. With
cne man gone in that frame, pinch
hitter by the name of Stout was sent

WHITE WINGS LOSE

team lost another heart-breaking con-

a home run in the last inning gave
the game to the miners by score
OF 3 to 2. The contest was an air.
tight affair from start to finish, with
Babcock, of Lewistown, and KRIS
thaler, of Roundup, both pitching
superb ball and both being sensa-
tionally supported.
Each team made a run in the first
inning, after which each drew line
OF goose eggs until the eighth, when
one more score was added to each
score. It looked as If the contest
would 60 to extra innings, but one of
the coal diggers caught fast one on
the end Of his bat and sent the ball
out for home rum
The LeWistown team was some
what patched up, Smith, a pitcher
playing third, and Toresdahl, another
HEAVIER, playing in the outer garden
Nevertheless, all of the boys played
a rattling good game. Ploof behind
the bat kept the speedy miners
hugging the bases and Babcock
pitched the sort of game that will
win In nine times out of ten.
