Editor, Holly Chieftain: In your

article by Mr.. w. H. Woodhouse,
of Valley Center, Kas., q former
editor of The Chieftain. making
some serious charges against the
Catholics. Mr.. Woodhouse assert

The Holly Chieftain should in
justice apologize to its Catholic
readers and set the truth before
its Protestant clientele.
The large and influential CathOl-
ic press was almost unanimously
silent when other papers were
criticising the Y NJ. c. A. But
many Catholic writer's and speak
ers, including Bishop Then, head
of the Catholic church in Colorado,
did caution the public not to judge
the Protestant organization too
severely. They fully realized the
splendid work the "Y" does for
PrOtestants in civilian life, and the
trials it had to meet in its army
work. Never has any competent
official of the "Y" encouraged the
idea that Catholics were in any
sense behind the anti-Y. NJ. c. A.
propaganda.

can be raised: it is only fit for eat
tie and prairie dogs. The cattle
baron, even though he knows bet
ter, may encourage this prOpagan-
da. but his motives are obvious.
The fact remains, however, that
this land. handled with proper
tools, according to modern wethOds
of semi-arid soil culture can raise
paying crop five years out OF six.
A half of this area titled in ac-
eOrdance with advanced scientific
agricultural methods will produce
more than enough to feed the pe0-
pie of the entire state and would
require solid trainlOads to trans
port it to market. That railroad
must tap this fertile empire with

one of the greatest agricultural
regions of the west is but q mat
ter of common logic. In fact a rail
road line is already planned to the
state line approximately due east
from Two Buttes and those in a
position to know claim that con-
structiOn on this line only awaits
the organization of labOrers and as
sembling of material along the
line.
The author is not paid to write
this story; he has not foot OF
either dry or irrigated land nor has
he any interest in the sale OF any
land. 1t is written from Observa-
tion of the land and its products
during a recent trip and an appre-
citation of the wonderful future
productivity of the area in ques-
tiOn within the next few years when
its value and unlimited possibil-
tiles become more generally known.
It is too good and too valuable to
remain idle; its proper develop
ment insures too great returns to
have it remain grazing country.
And in conclusion no man will
ever be able to buy any portion of
this area south of Holly for less
money than it can be bought for
today. The writer confidently pre-
diets that within five years more
than half of this vast region will
be under cultivation and that not
a section in the entire district can
be bought for less than i've times
