BERNARD SWIFT DRAGGED
TODEATH UNDER HAYRAKE

A newspaper of Hamburg, Iowa
contains an account of the death of
Bernard Swift at Omaha on Satur-
day. August Ia from injuries re-
ceived in runaway while he was at
work in the hay field near Hamburg.
Bernard was assisting in putting
up the hay crop on the farm of his
uncle, Condie Burkhiser, using
team of mules hitched to a rake
The team took fright at some object
and ran away. Bernard fell into
the rake and was dragged over the
meadow for almost an hour. When
recovered it was found that leg
was broken in two places, badly
crushed, his head was cut consider
able, and suffering from internal in
iures. Both arms and leg had
been pierced through by the teeth of
the rake and his clothing was worn
to shreds.
He was hurried to Omaha and
every effort possible was made to
save the boy, but with no avail. The
body was taken to Shenandoah Tues
day where the funeral services were
held. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Tillie
Swift, and seven brothers and sisters
The Swift family We're residents of
Monte Vista at one time and left
here about four years ago for Iowa
following the death of Mr. Swift.
They owned considerable ranch pro.
perry in the valley and up the river,
besides large residence in the east

[NE GREAT SAN LUIS VALLEY.
lGHTLY CALLED AN EMPIRE
Isdfl Progress Being Made by Our Neighbors on The
Southeast-The Costlla Estate

ample to furnish an abundance of
water for the irrigation of all the
irrigable land on the estate, and the
wonderful yields produced this wear
shows that the day is not far distant
when that locality will be one of
Colorado's most prosperous irrigated
farming districts.
The owners of the Costilla Estate
have so far expended several million
dollars in the development of this
project, and even at this early date
more than 10000 acres of the land is
in cultivation. The Sanchez reser-
voir with capacity of 100000 acre
feet of water was constructed at a
cost of $650,000, and is one of the
largest reservoirs ever built by pri-
vate capital. The dam is 10 feet
high and over 500 feet thick at the
base, and when the reservoir is filled
with water it will be seventeen miles
around the coast line.
In addition to this enormous stor-
age basin are the Mesita Reservoir,
Eastdale Reservoir No. ! and East
dale Reservoir No. 2 with total
storage capacity of 9,l15 acre feet
In the mountains on the Costilla
river another reservoir is now being
constructed which will hold 1900
acre feet of water, and with the com
pletion of this new development the
five reservoirs on the Costilla Estate
will have a total storage capacity of
130,115 acre feet of water.
The good land in all parts of the
San Luis Valley is as productive as
can be found in any agricultural sec
ton of Colorado, and the enormous
yields of wheat oats, barley, alfalfa,
peas, potatoes and all garden pro
ducts; combined with the growing
and fattening of sheep, hogs and cat
tie, make this valley one of the big
farming and stock raising districts OF
the west
The farming section of the Costilla
Estate is being populated with a very
progressive and substantial lot OF
people, and for the reason that the
land has nearly all been sold i'll tracts
of 80 and 100 acres, which means
large rural population, it will be but
a short time until their land prices
will double their present value.

Our music lovers and fun lovers
will be pleased to learn that the JOS
eph Newman Company is again COM
ing to Monte Vista Thursday, Sep. 2,
and will appear at the Empire Thea
ter under the auspices of Manager
Golf.
Mr.. Newman is always welcome for
he is an entertainer of the clean
type, who can always be depended
upon to give the people a truly de-
lightful and enjoyable evening. Much
of his success is due to his constant
zeal in keeping up-to-date, and in al
ways giving his audiences something
new. And he has the happy faculty
of invariably surrounding himself
with young ladies of talent who can
assist him with phases of entertain
mcnt as fine as his own, though diff
ferent in kind. In Miss Grace Nelson
soprano, he will introduce a singer
with 4 voice of beautiful tone and
wonderful range who sings with a
.learness of enunciation and charm
Of expression that are most effective.
Her versatility is shown in her abil-
ity to pass from the passion of an
operate aria 10 the quiet simplicity
of tender folk song. Miss Nelson
comes from Kansas City where she
appeared with marked success in
opera and oratorio. In Denver Aud
itorium last Spring she sang the lead
ing role of ''SantuZza" in "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and completely capt.
waited the audience.
Miss Isabel Sprigg. the pianist, is a
musician of unusual talents, whose
rare versatility makes her an ideal
accompanist She fully understands
the art of following and sustaining
the violin and voice part so neoes-
sary for successful solo work. Miss
Sprigg is also a talented imperson-
ator of child poems. and gives her
selections in natural unaffected
way, singularly free from the show
u
of studied art.
This seasons violinist is Miss Della
| Hoover, who ranks among the best
young lady viclinists of the country.
She is a graduate OF the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music OF
Boston, in which city she studied
with Timothee Adamowski, Emanuel
Ondricek and George w. Chadwick
She has appeared in concerts in many
