CAP" HAGERMAN BREAKS
THE D.-C.D. TRAIL SOUTH
Made Trip From Springfield to La
mar In Automobile and
Wins 500 Wager.

Almost exhausted by battle OF
Is hours with heavy snow drifts,
Cap A. A. Hagerman, the Spring
field merchant, pulled up at the La
mar pOstOffice Friday evening
bringing the first mail that had
been received from the south since
the snow blockade began on Dec.
%. His was the first car to cover
the entire distance between Spring
field and Lamar, and the fact that
it required more than half a day to
negotiate trip that ordinarily is
made in less than two hours, proves
that the going was rough
A number of cars from both La
mar and Springfield had tried to
open the road after the snow, but
all of them were stalled at various
points along the line. Hagerman
undertook the trip on wager OF
500 that it could not be accom-
plished by an auto, and though he
finally won the money there were
times when his chances of success
seemed very SLIM Most of the time

came through the ordeal in good
condition, though the wheels were
packed solid with snow. Mr.. Hag.
erman used 20 gallons of gasoline
in the task of opening the trail.
Mr.. Hagerman stated that the
snow fall in Baca county was even
heavier than in this vicinity. There
was much suffering among livestock
in big pastures. as the drifts rem
dered it impossible to haul feed to
the animals. Nearly all the settlers
have small herds of cattle, and
many of them will suffer some loss

On his return trip to Springfield
on Monday morning Mr.. Hagerman
took out a carload of passengers
who had been waiting here several
days for a chance to go to Spring,

excess fares for the privilege. Thus
the trailbreaking trip, although a
very trying one, proved profitable

The PrOwers County Red Cross

to be of use this year. These gar

this record should be maintained.
Volunteer sewers are wanted now at

they are simple to make. Ladies
unable to work at the rooms may
take material home and do the
work there. knitting will be discon.

SOUTH DITCH SaoULD /
De NATIONAL PR0JECf
Time opportuns for Revival Of the
Dsnt-P -Prowsrs Irrigation and
Power Enterprise.


The present seems q prOpitiOus
time to enlist the aid of the federal
government in bringing the great
body of fertile land in southern
Prowers and Bent counties under
irrigation. Secretary Lane. of the
interior department plans exten-
sive irrigation development in var
ious western states not only to pro
vide work for men who will be
seeking for employment after the
war, but also to make idle land pro
ductive and furnish homes for the
constantly increasing population of
the country. The department hos
already approved plans for projects
in the San Juan and San Luis val
leys, but this side of the range
seems to have been overlooked,
says the Lamar Sparks.
The Bent and PrOwers irrigation
project certainly deserves the atten-
ton of the federal government, and
our senators and representatives in
congress should see to it that the
plans for this system are presented
and given proper consideration.
This project provided for a canal
approximately one hundred miles
in length, which would convey wat
err from a reservoir on the Purga-
toire river to more than one hun
dred thousand acres of land in
Bent and Prowers counties, which
needs only the application Of water
to make it rs productive and valu-
able as the old irrigated area north
of the river.
It will be remembered that dis.
trict was formed under the state
law for the purpose OF constructing
this system Complete surveys were
made and bonds to the amount OF
$4,0O0,000 were voted by the taxpay-
ers of the distrist. After several
years of effort, however, the project
was abandoned and the district was
dissolved. The failure was not due
to lack of practicability, as the pro
ject received the approval of all prac-
was due to the hOgishness of the
bond buyers, who wanted guar
antee of two dollars and profits for
every dollar the. might put in the
enterprise.
There is another consideration In
the connection of the building of
this system, which is8of vital inter-
est to Lamar, Las Animas and other
valley towns at this time, and that
Is the development of electric pow
or. With dam 100 feet or more in
height constructed on the Purga-
toire river, cheap hydrOelectric pow
er could be developed sufficient to
supply the needs OF the valley
towns during seven or eight months
of each year.
