BIG LAND PROJECT

For the purpose of reclaiming
1000 acres OF the most fertile land
in the Arkansas valley, which is now
hardly more than a swamp, twenty
have Joined an organization intend
ed to make possible the May Valley
drainage district.
The plan of the men behind the
project at present is three fold. In
drain the land The water is then
to be collected in the big canal which
is to be fitted with a power system
that will generate sufficient electric
current to supply all the ranchers in
the organization. The fall of the
water is sufficient to make this os-
sible. After generating the eloc.ric
power, the water at the extreme end
of the canal will be used for irrigat-
ing purposes.
Preliminary plans formulated by
the proposed district contemplate
the expenditure of approximately
$4,000 This amount, it is expect
ed, however, will be materially in
creased as the outline Of the scheme.
An election will probably be held
within the next two or three months
to determine upon bond issue.
which will be Intended to cover all
Of the work including the installa-
tion of the proposed power plant.
1t is believed that the water sup
ply, which now turns this large area
into veritabe swamp, will be limi-
tless and can be transformed into
permanent asset. The collection of
water on the 1000 acre tract is due
to the fact that the land is located
on a level below the Fort Lyon can
district, one of the largest irrigation
projects in the state.
Numerous attempts have been
made to reclaim this large domain
but nothing like the present organi-
zed effort has ever before been
equaled.-Las Animas Leader.

MAKE A GOOD PACK

At this season of the year when
our growers are shipping their pro-
ducts 1t might be we'll to state that
the man who is careful In packing
his melons is the man who will get
a good price for the same-if there
be good price obtained by any.
The average citizen is looking for
good melons; is able and willing to
pay the price and has no use for
melons that have been partially
eaten by grasshoppers or rabbits.
Neither does he want the over ripe
melon-in fact he wants melons
that look well and taste the same
way.
Therefore be careful with your
pack-it will pay you dividends.

so arranged as to make the 16 col
lege credits required by all colleges
or universities if the student SO de.
sires. At the same time work can
be selected SO as not to take a lot
of useless work never needed in the
life of the student.

SPLENDID CROPS

Perhaps irrigation is the only
sure and certain way to raise crops
in any country but a person would
have to go a long ways to find bet
ter crops than our dry" land farm
ers are growing this year.
W. H. Allenbaugh, who lives in
the Webb district, was in town Tues
day with some broom corn and alfal-
la specimens, which he presented Mr.
Lague to be exhibited at the county
fair. These two products were the
equal Of any corn grown under ir-
rigation. both being exceptionally
fine specimens and the broom corn
being the finest shown here this
year.
The alfalfa was planted this spring
and we have no doubt but that
same will capture first prize at the
fair for the best dry land alfalfa
shown.

Plans are being made for the best
year ever in the Holly High school.
The High School Board. among
other things done for the advance
ment Of the school, have decided to
put in a Department OF Commerce.
A teacher has been engaged for the
teaching of the commercial work.
This insures complete and
thorough training along this line.
The commercial work ia not given
with the idea OF providing short
easy course to graduation. 1t Is
four year course and the work is
just as thorough as in any of the
other courses offered But the
time is here when We as people
are realizing that the high school
must prepare for the immediate
needs of the community in which 1t
is located
Farmer boys and girls need as
good business education as the mer-
chant or the strictly business man
The commercial department being
put in SO many high schools will
meet this demand on the part of
every community. Boys and girls
can get the first class business
knowledge and get 1t without leav-
ing the protection of the "old
home" The Holly High School
Commercial course will fit any one
for any business work in any offi'-.
In addition the Agricultural
course is to be made more practical.
Two full years of work are now to
be offered. Second year work in
this course will be devoted to stock
raising and its study.

Yukon Council Defeats e-Hour Day,
 Wages if Granted.

' DAWSON, March 20.-The Yukon council today defeated the effort to make an eight-hour day for public works compulsory on all contractors and to provide for penalty for vio- latiou of the law.
 The members of the council claimed that all private concerns work thsil men for ten hours a day and that the cut in the number of hours would be loss to the workmen. The scale of wages to all government workers is considerably higher than that paid on private work and therefore if the hours were cut the pay must also be cut and consequently they favored working the men ten hours and con tinning to pay them the better wages,
