Surveying More Railroad Land

Four hundred and fourteen
thousand acres of land in Wal
lopi valley are to be thrown open
to settlement by the government
on and after the 10th day of Dec
ember, 1912. While little water
has so far been found in the valley
it is more than probable that by
concerted action reservoirs of
sufficient capacity could be built
in the canyons that would make
possible the irrigation of vast
tracts OF this land. 1t is under
stood that the Santa Fe railroad
own every alternate section of this
land, which is embraced within
its land grant, and that it is
probable that much of these lands
will soon be in the market. King

To The Holy Madonna

Sweet Mary, when the baby Christ
Lay soft upon thy breast.
And Angel spirits lowering near
The tiny form caressed,
When all the world was flooded
with
Gods holy, radiant light,
Did not shadow of the cross
A moment dim Thy sight2
Sweet Mary, when the shepherds
came
With frankincense and myrrh,
And kneeling hailed Him Lord
and King,
Did strange forebodings stir?
Didst see Him scourged, spat on,
despised,
Scorned, spurned and crucified? !?
And didst Thou hold Him closer
vet,
Thy burning tears to hide?
Sweet Mary, since the baby Christ
To bless sad world came,
Through all the ages has the lot
OF women been the same.
To love, to sacrifice, to cling
Through mingled JOY and woe;
And love, which brings her death,
is lite,
All that her heart may know.
