EVERETT RANCH SOLD
TO FRANK VAN BUSkIRK

Last week a deal was consummat-
ed by which Frank Van Buskirk be-
comes the fortunate possessor of the
famous Everett ranch near Villa
Grove. The deal was made through
the Chas. Edman agency of this place
and includes about 500 head of well
bred Shorthorn cattle. The consid-
Grafton was approximately $125,OOO
The. Everett ranch includes about
1880 acres of well improved land
and is one of the best stock ranches
in the west. The improvements are
modern and extensive and it is
beautiful home.
Mr.. Van Buskirk recently sold his
farm north of Monte Vista and
found the Everett ranch to be ihe
best proposition he had seen after
looking through New Mexico and all
over this valley. He will take pos
session in October.
Mr.. Everett fell heir to a large
estate in North Carolina and will
make that his home.

TOWN DRAIN COMPLETED

Engineer Reilly states that the
Monte Vista south drainage system
will be completed this Saturday
night. The drain heads at the Monte
Vista canal and empties into the
slough at the Maxfield place Just
north of the old fair grounds.
The effects of this drain have been
almost immediate. The discharge
has been as high as ten feet before
the ditch was near completed and
the benefits have been apparent in
dry cellars and ram pits, and In the
relief to the sewer which is now
effective.
The construction of the drain has
been retarded from the failure to Sc
cure labor but the cost of the same
is amply demonstrated as a justified
necessity.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST
d. & r. c..

1t would seem that the only way to
get satisfactory service on the d. e.
K. G. is for a representative of the
Public Utilities commission to ac-
company live stock shipments from
this valley.
The report comes to us of a hog
shipment from this station to Pue-
plo IN which so great shrink was
mad due to poor service that the
shippers lost big money. Not only
did the road tack on 76 cars of
freight, but refused to allow the hogs
TO be watered at Walsenburg and de-
layed the shipment all the way
through. Adding insult to injury.
we are told the superintendent of the
division met protest with a horse
laugh.

CHILD DROWNED in
RIO GRANDE RIVER

Monday morning the 6-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. East,
OF Anderson, Ind, was drowned in
the Rio Grande river above Wright s
ranch. The body was quickly re-
covered but all efforts at resuscita-
ton failed and it was brought to
Monte Vista for preparation for ship
ment back home for interment ac-
companied by the broke h hearted
parents.
1t seems that while Mr.. East and
Chas Holt had gone up the river
from their camp near the Boutwell,
cabin, on fishing trip, Mrs. East
and the little girl were seated near
the river bank doing fancy work
The child had scratched her leg
where mosquitoes had bitten her and
told her mother she was going to
wash the blood off. The mother eau
toned her as the water at that place
is very deep and swift but the child
stepped in and was instantly swept
down stream. Mrs. East screamed
and jumped into the river but could
not overtake the girl and was swept
up against the bank where she
grasped some willows and pulled
herself out, fainting as she did so.
The scream was heard by Chas.
Akers and Clarence Goad, who were
fishing at some distance below, and
soon they saw the body coming
down stream just under the surface.
Wading in, in shallow water, Clar-
ence was able to grasp the child and
carry her out where first aid was i'm
mediately given by Dr. Bradley of
Ohio, who happened to be near. The
cold water had taken the little life
and bruised the little body, and when
realization came to the mother, who
is very frail and for whose health
her grief was terrible. 1t is thought
that her mind will rever recover
from the shock.
The Easts had driven through in
an automobile and arrived at
Wright's the evening before the ac-
cident occurred Mrs. East has a
brother here, Mr.. Wilson, who works
for John Shaft.
Kind friends here and at the scene
of the accident did everything posi-

BOUNTIFUL CROPS
Enormous Yields to be Harvested on the
Joseph Spencer Farm
pencer Farm

By more intensive cultivation OF
all crops, the farmers of the San Luis
Valley have this year produced a
most abundant and most valuable
supply of food products The grave
responsibilities that have fallen upon
the Worlds War have been met by
the farmers of this great agricultural
district, and their thrift and good
management will play most i'm
portant part with this predominant
factor in the great crisis.
This week we visited the large ag-
ricultural area south of Monte Vista
which comprises the Bowen, Terrace
and Carmel districts. And as the
growing crops are in such splendid
condition, and the qualities so ex-
ceptionally good, all the producers
are assured of profitable prices and
very prosperous season.
We visited the Spencer G. Gates
farm which comprises $50 acres, To-
Gated eighteen miles southeast of
Monte Vista. This place is all Ia
growing crops, and the land rich, fer
tile and productive owing to the sys-
tenn of crop rotation practiced every
year. Mr.. Joseph Spencer has man
aged the farming operations on this
place for the past nine years, and this
year expects to harvest the largest
crop the farm ever produced.
To show that Mr.. Spencer is a
strong believer in diversified farm
ing, five distinctively different kinds
of crops are being grown on this
place this season. The acreage in
crops is divided as follows: wheat
ITO acres, oats 80 acres, peas $50
acres, potatoes 20 acres and alfalfa
24O acres. And the coming winter
their 1000 head of sheep now grazing
in the mountains will be brought to
this farm and fed

Pedro Trujillo was the complain
ing witness in a case of assault with
deadly weapon today (Friday)
The defendant was Earl Brown, a
tenant of the Trujillo ranch near the
Plaza and the assault complained OF
by Pete was that Brown had hit him
on the head with hatchet. 1t
seems that the two had some
words" over the feeding of some
horses and that Brown told Pete to
go away and mind his own business; /;
Pete didn't go and was struck with
the hatchet The trouble occurred
Thursday evening and Trujillo i'm
mediately had a warrant sworn out
for his assailant's arrest. Judge
Hender found the defendant guilty
and bound him over to the district
court under bond of $500 which he
furnished.

of irrigation used was what is known
as sub-irrigation, but Mr.. Spencer
has changed the method of watering
the crops to the flooding system. and
by this change has greatly increased
the productiveness and qualities of
the products grown. This improve
ment was demonstrated last year
when his wheat grown under the
flooding system produced 46 2-3
bushels of splendid quality grain per
acre. And he is so enthusiastic over
the many advantages offered by sur
face or flooding irrigation that he
would not think of returning to the
former methods.
With food an international pro-
blem, the San Luis Valley farmers
have not only increased their profits
by producing large yields of all pro
ducts, but they also become factor
in bringing this world cataclysm to
an end that will mean victory and
future peace on earth
Now. to the man in search of a
farm homo:-If you ever had a de-
sire to own farm near the noun
tains in Colorado, where the climate
is delightful and healthful and where
success and prosperity is certain,
you should come to Monte Vista this
summer and see our thousands of
acres of excellent growing crops.
And in this much favored agricultur-
al district you will find that the good
land has not reached it's full value.
because as yet the lard holdings are
too large. But in the division of the
farms and the adoption of more in
tensive farming methods, the land
values will advance 20 equal the
prices now asked for good land in
the older irrigated Sections of the
West. and this alone should be an
incentive for you to come this season
and choose your farm home.
