Millions for Arkansas Valley

That the development Of the
dairy industry is going to bring un-
told millions to the Arkansas Valley,
and be one Of the greatest factors
in bringing about our dream of an
agricultural PARADISE on earth, is the
opinion OF every one who has inves-
tigated aud made study of the ex-
perlence Of other lections of this
country where the da ry industry
has been introduced and developed.
II has wrought wonders in Wiscon-
sin and California. where conditions
are not as favorable as they are
right here in Colorado. 1t is going
to transform the Arkansas Valley
into an agricultural paradise within
the next five years, and there is no
one who has greater faith in the real
ization OF this prophecy than C. l..
Seagraves, Industrial commissioner
of the Santa Fe. who is probably
more familiar with the wonders
wrought by the introduction and de-
velopment OF the dairy industry In
new country than any other man.
Mr.. Seagraves was one of our best
boosters in landing the milk conden-
sary at La Junta. and is an enthusi-
astic and firm believer in the fact
that the dairy Industry will be the
making OF the Arkansas Valley. and
one OF the greatest factors in It's de.
velopment. Mr.. Seagraves Is on the
job all the time rendering valuable
aid In building up the dairy indus

Fe. At the present time he IL in

G. w. Milliken. president OF the La

to the benefits that are being de-
rived from the development OF the

as follows:

DoINGs AT CAMP FUNSTON
Buildings Nearly All Completed and
Steam Heat Turned On-4Eycry
Soldier Buys Liberty Bond


Lieutenant w. C. Weasar, who
was formerly in the employ of the
La Junta Music Company. and won
a first lieutenant's commission at
the recent officers training camp at
Fort Riley. writes some interesting
news from that camp as follows:
1t has been some time since !
promised the great family journal to
write short note about the camp
here. but | have been too busy late
ly. There is lots of work to be done
here and each one has his part to
do.
Last week was detailed with n
train load OF troops which was sent
to Fort Sill. Okla. and was gone
several days. One sure thing. Fun
ston is a much better camp, to my
notion, than Fort Sill. The Missouri
National Guards are there at Camp
Doniphan and they are quartered in
tents. Our train made good time,
going through without any mishaps.
We left here at 1880 4. m. and ar
rived at Fort Sill at p. m. the next
day.
While was in Fort Sill saw
the orders for the transfer OF the
La Junta lieutenants 10 Linda Vista,
from Deming. N NJ. and l suppose
they are all there by this time.
The buildings here are nearly all
completed now and ready for more
men to come. The streets are be-
ing graded and the principal ones
are macadamized. so 1t Will soon
look like a real city. We have cleo
trio lights. telephones. sewers, and
most all the other up to date things
OF a real metropolis.
The heating Is done by steam. and
1t surely takes lot OF II TO heal
this camp. II has been rather cold
here lately and we have all been
anxious for the heating plants to be
completed. The steam heat was
turned on here in the 35ep Regi
ment yesterday and Il suis seem,
good. Nearly all the units are heated
now. and the men are all fitted ur
with wool uniforms and overcoats
Supplies were rather slow ia coming
at the start but there Is a plent,
now.
Liberty Bonds have had the Off
GERS all working and in our compan,
like a good many others. every man
has at least one and several OF them
have three or four.
The S9th Divisional Foot Bal
Team defeated the eleven from Colo.
