REV. r. r. ADAMS GOES
TO SUGAR CITY CHURCH
Leaves Fine New Edifce Here As
Monument to His Church
Building Ability

Rev. Robert r. Adams, for the
past two years pastor of the Holly
Methodist church, left here last
Saturday morning for Sugar City
to enter upon the work of the new
field assigned him by the recent
annual conference
Rev. Adams leaves in Holly as a
monument to his labors one of the
neatest and most attractive small
church edifices in the valley, a
building which is matter of civic
pride of the the town. 1t repre-
sents much labor on the part of
Rev. Adams and the local organiza-
tion which he gathered about him
for the purpose of its erection.
Rev. Adams is scholar and a
sermonizer far above the average
and capable of a much larger field
than either Holly or that to which
he has just gone. The best wishes
of his congregation and many other
friends follow him to Sugar City.
Mrs. Adams and the children went
directly to Sugar City from Denver
where they had been spending
their summer vacation.
The new pastor OF the Holly
church, Rev Lucas has not yet
arrived here

SEVENTEEN HUN CAPTIvES
FLEE FROM PRISON
Make Their Escape from Utah Pen
Through Tunnel Requiring
Months to Construct.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. l5.-
Seventeen alien prisoners escaped
from war prison barracks at Fort
Douglas near here Monday. Es-
cape was made through tunnel
which it evidently had taken
months to construct.
According to Col. George L..
Byram, commandant at the prison,
none of the escaped prisoners was
of the dangerous type, nearly all
having been interned because they
were classed as undesirable"
Reports from Ogden said several
suspects had been rounded up by
the police there but none had been
identified as fugitives from the war
prison.
The tunnel through which the
men made their escape extended for
eighty feet beyond tie wire enclos-
ure of the compound and was dug
six feet below the surface. Its con-
struction completely escaped detec-
ton, no trace having been found of
the dirt removed.
Search for the men is being made
throughout the intermOuntain
country.

THREE.INCH RAIN.
Heavy Precipitation Here Puts
Ground in Shape for Wheat.

Rain which began Tuesday even.
ing continued interrupted thro.
ughout the night and part of We'd.
nesday resulting in precipitation
of 1924. 1t came slowly, and was
thoroughly absorbed by the dry
soil, putting it in the most excel.
lent condition for fall wheat.
East of Syracuse, Kas., railroad
traffic was somewhat delayed last
evening but all night trains from
the east were able to get through
by o'clock this morning. All
trains are running today somewhat
behind schedule, though no serious
damage has been reported.
Farmers are jubilant over the
outlook for fall wheat and farming
conditions generally While the
third cutting of alfalfa was still
down in some sections the great
benefit more than compensates
this slight loss.

PREPARING FINE EXHIBIT
OF DRY LAND CROPS
W. T. S. Brown Land Co. and
Wadsworth & Reading Have
Many Good Specimens.

The fertility OF Colorado dry
lands has been much talked about
and it will bear talking about
but the half has not been told
Specimens of the various grains
and vegetables brought into Holly
the past few weeks are a revelation
to even those who have lived here
for years, and came here when this
same land was nothing but one
large grazing country.
1t is well worth any ones while
to call at the real-estate offices and
see some of the products of this
same grazing land soil The pro
duets are really wonderful At
present the w. II. s. Brown Land
Co. on North Main street has the
largest number of samples, though
Mr.. Brown has only just started to
get up an exhibit. In his front
office he has very cleverly set up a
handsome shock of dry land corn.
The stalks are of good height, but
the amazing feature is te number
and good size of the ears of grain
In addition Mr. Brown has a hill
of sOudan grass which is a marvel
of luXuriance and size. The bunch
stands over seven feet high and is
picture Besides this he has a
wonderful variety of specimens of
all the sOrghums, kafir corn, fe-
terita and maize. 1t really looks
good enough for man to eat When
this display is completed MIR.
Brown expects to have the best
display of dry land products ever
arranged in Holly, and it will be a
splendid advertisement 1t is
bound to impress every man or
woman who sees it whether they
be farmers or not. Mr.. Browns
company, elsewhere in this issue,
has offered $1375 in cash prizes for
samples of garins from the dry
lands with which to complete his
display.
Mr.. Browns purposes to send
some of these samples to his agents
throughout Kansas, Missouri, Ne
braska and Iowa, to show the peO-
pie what Colorado dry lands really
produce
Messrs. Wadsworth & Reading,
another local real estate firm, are
also getting in fine line of sam
pies of grains grown in the famous
Arkansas Valley. These exhibits
are really worth while and there
ought to be more of them display
ed in Holly.
Messrs. McMurtry g. Pinkham
have just started to getting in pro
ducts from both irrigated and dry
land poduction which they will
soon have properly arranged in
their suite of rooms.
1t is notable in this connection
that many prospective buyers of
Colorado land, both dry and irri-
gated, are beginning to come in
from all parts of the north and
east, and they are buying too.

Sunday School Picnic Dampened

Whenever the church and Sun
day school folks get ready to have
a picnic, it's a safe bet that it will
rain on that very date. The Pres
byterian church folks undertook a
hay rack party and picnic Monday
night-yes, it rained. Bill" Kindell
of the land company had been
chosen generalissimo of the trans
portation department and by
means of hay racks was to convey
the church folks to the aviation
field north of town in time for 6
o'clock basket dinner 1t sprinkled
a little and Bill forgot the en-
gagement. The crowd, which had
gathered with a fine cOmmissary at
the High school building, waited
and waited but Bill had forgot
ten. Finally it was decided to re.
pair to the church, where the good
things, including plenty Of fried
chicken, WatermelOns, cantalOupes
and all other palatable things were
spread and more than 100 men, WON.
en- and children enjoyed the feast.
Really, "Bill's" forgetfulness was
not serious for everybody enjoyed
the novelty of the changed arrange
ment.

MANY New Ford Parts.

The H.-B. Motor Co. has shipped
in within the past ten days more
than $4,000 worth of new Ford parts
to supply the demand and this sec
tion for repairs on Ford cars in
use. This matter of getting these
parts unlocked, segregated and in
their proper places in the motor
company's stock room has been no
small task. Mr.. Heckethorn has
also sent part of them to Ston-

weather was ideal for the airplane
flight put on by the Holly Airline
Transportation Co. and something
like 400 to 500 people visited the
field during the afternoon and eve
ming.
The exhibition flight upon which
the crowd was privileged to guess
the altitude attained by Pilot Puf-
lea aroused great interest as may be
seen from the number OF guesses
published below.
In addition to the exhibition
flight Pilot Puflea carried five diff
ferent passengers who had previous
ly bought tickets for flights. Four
other passengers were carried Mon
day morning.
1t was great event in the mat
ter of aerial flight and will doubt
less be told and retOld by those
who were at the aviation field to
their posterity in future years
when aerial navigation becomes
more common.
Pilot Pufiea accompanied by Guy
Elwick left at 6 o'clock Tuesday
morning for Springfield, Colo
where the Holly Airline Transpor-
tation Co., was booked for an ex-
hibition at the Baca county annual
fair.
The weather was somewhat
threatening, however, and before
Mr.. Puflea had gone far he en-
cOuntered rain so that he could not
tell where he was going. He then
aScended above the rain clouds
but was as much at loss to find
Springfield as ever Consequently
he had to descend to lower alti-
tude again and was compelled to
alight twice before finally reaching
Springfield where he arrived about
noon.
With clear sailing Aviator Puf-
lea would have reached Springfield
in an hour or less. Mr.. ElWick re-
turned home the same evening
The transportation cOmpany's en-
gagemet opened at the Baca cOun-
ty fair today
Following are the guesses so far
handed into The Chieftain office
on the altitude attained by Pilot
Pufiea last Sunday afternoon. 1t
was announced in last weeks
Chieftain that the result of the
contest and the winners of the two
free rides would be made next Sat
urday. However, The Chieftain is
not in possession of Pilot Pufea's
report on the flight and unless he
or some member of the transporta-
ton company arrives home Satur-
day the announcement of the win
ners cannot be made Saturday.

o the property along the Canarsie ex.
tension Of the Broadway elevated road
