For some time experts have recog-
nized that the so-called arid country
in the Rocky mountain region must
some day be made to yield vast
amount of agricultural products, but
they also have realized that this
could not be accomplished except by
irrigation.
The soil in that section Is rich and
the water supply is said to be ample
once it is properly stored so as to
assure the farmer of continual sup
ply during the growing season. This
is being accomplished gradually.
Colorado excels all other states in
the amount of land under irrigation.
The census of 1910 showed that 4,00O,-
900 acres were under ditch, and 1t
was reported that with the compile
ton of irrigation projects under way
and in contemplation, the acreage
would be increased to 100000 acres
This is approximately one-fourth OF
the arabic area of the state.
In the past the mistake was made
often of over-estimating the capacity
of an irrigation project. Time and
experience has taught the builders tc

avoid this error and the aim is to put
just enough land under ditch that can
be adequately watered during the en-
tire irrigating season. This policy Is
restoring confidence in irrigation and
will eventually cause the state to be
completely settled with prosperous
farmers.
Colorado's annual agricultural out
put is now something more than
$100,000,000. This includes fruit rails
ing, which, in normal years, aggre-
gates about 100000.
Reliable data shows that the yield
of an irrigated farm in Colorado Is
more than twice the yield of land In
a rain-belt country. It Is estimated
that the net returns from a well cul-
tiyated irrigated farm Is at least 20
per cent on the valuation of the farm.
It is not unusual for Colorado farm
to pay for itself in two or three
years where the farmer couples In
telligence and frugality together. APP
proximately $6O,OO0,000 has been ex-
pended in the construction Of irriga-
ton projects in Colorado. The total
value Of Colorado farm lands Is placed
at 100000.

The total gold output in the United
States from 1901 to 1910, inclusive,
was $S76,215,S00. Of this production
Colorado contributed 1921, 875,300; Cali
fornia, 1854, 900; Alaska, $144,275,-
900; Nevada, $90,522,9 900; South Dako-
ia, $64,649,200.
Although many surface deposits of
bonanza ore have been exhausted,
there are now more and better oppor-
tunities for profitable mining than
ever before in Colorado. Mining costs
have been greatly reduced by the ex-
tension of electric power lines to near
ly every mining district of the state.

The beet sugar companies have a
large number of forty and eighty acre
farms that can be rented either on
shares or for cash. Expert advice is
given, free of charge, relative to plant
ing, irrigating and cultivation.
Both soil and climate in Colorado
are exceptionally well adapted to the
production of sugar beets. Water for
irrigation provides the best insurance
against droughts. The soluble salts
of the soil have not been leeched out
by excessive rains, and during the
growing season there is maximum Of
sunshine.
Beets should be rotated with other
crops such as alfalfa, wheat and pota-
toes. Alfalfa especially is necessary,
as it acts as a fertilizer and is the
basis of all general farming in Colo
RADIO.
Cattle raising and dairying are nat
ural adjuncts to the beet sugar In
dustry. The beet tops, pulp and mo-
lasses can be made to add to the earn
ings of the farm when used for the
fattening of stock or for the produc-
ton of milk
Beet growing, therefore, is becom-
ing recognized as an important factor
in the productive capacity of the farm
rather than as 4 speciality In agficul-
tdre.

Catarrh begins by congestion Of the
blood vessels OF a mucous membrane.
And mucous membrane Is made up
mostly of minute blood vessels, called
capillaries. Cold or irritation of any
sort is liable to produce congestion Of
these capillaries. If the Irritation Is
slight and is quickly removed the
congestion very soon disappears and
no bad result obtains. But II the
irritation is repeated many times or
is long continued a chronic condition
Of congestion of the mucous mem
branes may occur. This Is ordinarily
called catarrh.
The blood no longer clrculates
freely in the small blood vessels that
compose the mucous membrane. The
blood becomes damned up in the ves-
sells. causing the vessels to swell up
and the blood to stagnate and the
serum of the blood to eXude from
the walls of the blood vessels, pro-
ducing discharges
These discharges are ordinarily
called mucous discharges. The fact
is, however. the discharges are not
properly mucous. Real mucous does
not irrltate. but is a wholesome fluid
which covers every mucous mem
brane in the body. The catarrhal

LATEST THEORY OF CATARRH
EXPLAINED BY DR. HARTMAN

Not because Poruua is "a remedy fo,
many diseases. hut because catarT

gans ana disturb their functions
Sometimes catarrh is associated
with constipation. other times a co-
tarrha subject may not be troubled
with constipation. I'm some instances
there Is u looscness Of the bowels.
People beginning the use of Pee
runa for chronic catarh, wherever
located, will usually get valuable nd
vice by writing me, giving me a
statement of the ease,
! do not think It win be necessty
for me in this article TO describe ca
tarrh of the various organs OF tho
body. II IS sufficient for me to say
in general way that any organ Is
subject 10 catarrh, because these or
gans are lined 10y a mucous mem
brane. When once oatarrh attacks
an organ It dcranges the function OF
that organ more or less.
II catarrh attacks the stomach dys-
epsia is the result
II It attacks the larynX and bron-
chial tubes, bronchitis and laryngitis

II It attacks tho lungs, cough and
symptoms that resemble consumption

If catarrh attacks the kidneys dS-
turbances of the urinary organs is
certain. Catarrh Of the bledder is a
very common form Of catarrh. II
produces distressing symptoms, A
large proportion Of men past middle
life have this form Of catarrh, more
or less.

PROBING A NEW
ANGLE OF WRECK
St. Paul Detective at Devils
Lake-Claim One Victim
Has Died

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 19.--Was
there a fatality in the wreck of the
Oriental Limited on the Great North
ern railroad near Doyon last Tuesday
night?
This is the question that st. Paul
detectives are trying to solve in Devils
Lake today. They assert that a pas
senger who was seriously injured was
placed in the baggage a # mail
city to await the relief train and
which carried two extra cars into the
twin cities the night of the %catastro-
phe.
T. P. Lawler. who says he repre-
sents the firm of Keefe & Anderson,
attorneys. in the New York Life
building, st. Paul, is questioning par
ties who were members of the relief
party in an effort to ascertain whether
or not they know of any one seriously
injured that was not reported.
Mr.. Lawler carries a telegram pur-
ported to be from his firm of attor-
neys in st. Paul which says CON
tinue the investigation. Our party
died in st. Paul today" The story
told by the detective is SO indefinite
that only the fact that he believes
someone was fatally! injured in the &C.
cident can be learned.
Because of the fact that a corpse,
being shipped from Chester, Mont,
to Chambersberg. Pa. was on the
train it was at first thought that he
had been led to believe that the body
which arrived in st. Paul on the mail
train had been killed in the accident,
but he refused to be satisfied with
this explanation and is continuing his
quiet investigation.
He refuses to give out any informa-
ton other than that he is endeavor-
ing to find out whether or not there
was anyone injured in the Doyon
wreck that was not reported.
The fact that it was not learned in
Devils Lake until yesterday that the
corpse from Chester. Mont, in charge
Of Mr.. Weldy Of that place. was on
the wrecked train, adds additional
local interest. Mr.. Weldy was among
those delayed seriously because of
losing his baggage and tickets. both
for the corpse and himself. He left
this city Friday night for his eastern
destination.

Mandan Reform School Officials Say
Boy Made Things Interesting.

Fargo. N. d, Feb. 19.-Harvey Will
lard, the 19-year-old boy whom Chief
OF Police Bowers tool to Mandan re-
form school last Saturday, has an ex-
ceedingly bad reputation.
After being in the reform school
for about three years he was released
at the earnest solicitation of his sis
ter. who resided in Canada and he
went there to live with her.
The officers of the Mandan institu-
ton state that his sister was very
good to him. She provided him with
a shotgun and he had the use of the
horses. and was having a good time.
His sister determined that after he
had enjoyed himself for some time, he
should start to work, and when she
suggested this to him. he flew into a
violent rage, struck her and dragged
her out of the house by the hair, in
ficting serious injuries.
h sister fastened to the barn to
hitch up a horse to go after an Of
f1cer, to cause his arrest, and it is
alleged by the Mandan officers that
the youth set fire to the house, which
was destroyed. He then disappeared
and came again to the states, al.
though the Canadian authorities were
after him for the crime of arson.
He was arrested here and confessed
to breaking the seals of box cars and
stealing merchandise thcrefrom. He
will serve his full term in Mandan.

will be issued to deserving ones for
the purchase of seed grain. though the
