A 100000, 90 Rain.
This part of Colorado was visited by
good rain on last Saturday night
which has given the people of this Sec
tion much encouragement. The dry
spell we have had for the past month
was very discouraging as small grain
and grass was at stand still and other
crops even if planted would not grow.
Things however look much different
now and with few more soakers like
the two we had the first of the week
and we homesteaders will stand a good
show to raise some crop this year.
Keep stiff upper lip boys and we will
win out, for the good Lord did not make
this beautiful country of ours for coy
otes and prairie dogs exclusively.
There was quite scramble at this
Office on going to press with the first is
sue of the News last week but as we

he should have the first paper off the
press and accordingly Mr.. Mckinley is
the proud possesser Of the same and
says he would not take the north east
part of Colorado for it if he could not
get another.

Profitable Tree Culture. :,
Starting trees is matter of great
Importance to the settlers of this prai-

best kind for all purpose therefore Gov
ernment experts have decided that one
of the most profitable varieties for a
western country is the Catalpa Speci-'
osa, which makes speedy groath from
seed, making fence posts in six years.
The sowing of the seed should be done
in the spring as soon as the ground be-
comes warm, in well prepared soil. 1t
is advisable to plant the seed where you
want the tree rather than to risk trans
planting. Cover the seed with one inch
of moist earth and keep moist until well
rooted, when dust mulch should be
maintained in order to hold the mois-
ture. Under average conditions the
