HoMESEEKERS FLoCKING
IN FROM THE EAST

While it is a fact that there
is no season of the year when
land in the San Luis Valley can
not be inspected by the home
seeker or investor to advantage,
owing to the exceptional climatic
conditions prevalent throughout
the valley, it is nevertheless true
that not until winter has depart
ed will the average eastern man
make the trip out here for either
of the above mentioned purposes.
Accustomed as he is to the
rigors of a northern or eastern
winter, he cannot conceive of a
great tract of almost virgin land
in the heart of the Rocky noun
tains where almost continual sun
shine prevails, where heavy
storms are unknown and where,
during winter days, an overcoat
is a useless luxury. He bases
his opinion upon his own envi-
ronments and considers such
statements as the stock talk of ir-
responsible land "boomers.
So eastern men of that class
are wont to await the opening OF
spring before coming out to salts
fly themselves as to what there is
in this land of promise and that
influx has now begun in earnest
Every train brings in a score OF
more of men who, tired with the
grind of exacting natural con
ditions "back east" are casting
longing eyes to Colorado, ant
having heard of the San Luis
Valley wonderland, come to see
for themselves. The real estate
offices are humming with activ
ity and each morning sees a string
of autos loaded to the guards

hiking out in this or that direc-
ton, according to the desires
of the would-be purchasers or
the location of the lands the sell
er has to offer.
But it is not "boom" in the
sense that term is generally used.
There is nothing artificial about
it, nothing elusive, nothing forced.
Nothing but a plain statement of
actual conditions has brought
these men here, and they are not
in the valley an hour before they
appreciate the fact and thank
their stars they came. And the
best feature is that sales are
being made daily and satisfied
buyers are leaving for their old
homes to settle up their affairs
and return as quickly as possible

Mr.. Isaac n. Stevens, formerly
editor of The Pueblo Chieftain,
but who is now on the sociolog-
ical lecture platform, has issued
a pamphlet containing portion
of his addresses, open letters and
editorials on sociological subjects,
which We're prepared or delivered
while he yet edited the Chief
tain. Mr.. Stevens is covering
the state with these pamphlets,
his idea being to create senti-
ment in the minds of the people
that will carry into effect the
measures which he has advocated,
and which are known as popular
government legislation.

An easy way to take a steam
bath: Place a pail that is three
fourths full OF boiling water un-
der a cane-seated chair. Slip two
hot bricks into the water. 1t is
well to have one or two more heat
ing for some one else to drop in
to the water to keep up the steam.
Sit down in the chair, covering
the body entirely with blanket
after removing all clothing. Let
the bl .nket fall to the floor so
that all the steam may be kept
in. Sit in the chair as long as
the steam rises, then quickly wrap
yourself in a hot dry blanket and
instantly get into bed and keep
closely covered.

DISC THE LAND EARLY

Ground that has been farmed
long enough so that the grass
roots are rotten is likely to blow
badly in the spring when the
weather is dry if the soil is
not protected in some way. Such
land should be disced as early in
the spring As possible. This will
leave the surface a little rough
SO that the fine soil grains will
be protected from the wind.
This cultivation may be done
with corn cultivator with shovels
if no disc harrow is available. By
thus stirring the surface of the
soil, a soil mulch will be formed
which will prevent evaporation
of moisture from below, and the
surface will be in proper condition
for taking in the rain that falls.
This stirring will keep the soil
in good condition for plowing
much longer than it would be
kept if the ground were left un-
stirred.
This cultivation will bury many
weed seeds which will soon ger
inmate. AS soon as the weeds be-
gin to come up the drag harrow
should be used. Having loose
soil in which to work, the harrow
will destroy the weed seedlings
very rapidly. The harrow may
destroy second crop of weeds
if the ground is not to be planted
until late in the season. Thes.
harrowings will also keep the
surface of the soil in condition
for taking in moisture and also
for preventing the evaporation of
the water which is in the soil.
By giving the soil this spring
treatment, moisture is conserved,
and weeds which would interfere
with crops are killed.

Marion Davis was appointed
street commissioner and marshal
by Mayor P. II. Joyce and assum-
ed his duties on the first of the
month. 1t has been ten years
since the town has found it neces-
sary to employ the services of a
marshal and so far as there being
necessity for a marshal to pre-
serve the peace at this time there
is "a question, but as Antonito has
increased in size there are vari-
Gus duties arising which require
the attention of an officer, such
as overseeing the water system,
street commissioner, enforcing TIE
dog and stock law, etc. Last Mon
day the new marshal had eight
head of cattle in the pound but
as the owners did not know that
a marshal had been appointed,
he allowed them to go but gave
the assurance that the penalty
would attach to violations in the
future.

When a merchant tells you

you can depend upon it there is
a very good reason why it hasn't

The probabilities are that he

Portland. Me. Sept. 1s.-Town
clerks returns from 4O2 out OF the

The vote on the face OF these re-
turns stands: For repeal 6O.O97.

The almost constent gain Of the
dry faction by which an apparent
votes was wiped out yesterday is be-
lieved to be traceable to some extent
to different methods employed by tho
newspapers in collecting the result on
Monday night. In most cases cores
pondents were instructed to telephone
the vote for repeal first and that
against repeal after, but in several in
stances the figures were reversed.
The Portland Evening Express. a
prohibition paper, controlled by the
family of the late Neal Dow. this ar
ternoon issued a bulletin stating that

The change from an apparent victory
for the wet" side by 700 votes to 500
