w. r. Raber, Vice-PresiGent and
general manager of the Arkansas Val

Gently addressed the Pueblo Manu-
iacture.s Association and dwelt at
some length upon the possibilities of
electric irrigation in the Arkansas
valley. He eaid:
"VasI areas of land which might be
made to produce valuable agricultur-
al products are lying idle in the Ark
ansas Valley today There are
thousands of acres of rich land which
could be irrigated by underflow wat
er in this region. AS an example
one farmer using underflow water
supplied ID other ranches with water
from his well wher an irrigation ditch
on which they depended was put out
of commission by the flood. There
are great quantities of underflow
water available in the valley and the
possibilities of utilizing it are wond-
erful. predict general realization
of this comparatively new source of
water and consequent utilization OF
it in the near future IN this section"

ion was held. Immediately after the
dinner was served the meeting was
called by President e. =. Johnson and
for three hours there was the liveliest
road meeting that the association has
ever held. Inc K-C Boulevard was
discussed from one end to the other-
from Pueblo to Great Bend, ana after
tho reports were made by the various
counties those present had very
good idea about the highway and Its
fine condition, except for portion IN
Pueblo county and very small strip
in Kiowa county which Is sandy. Dele
gates from the Kansas END OF the
boulevard stated that they had tray
eled over a great many of the Kansas
highways and that this was the best
dirt road they had found anywhere
in their travels.
Proper signs along the boulevard
was the principal thing discussed and
tho most important. After the many
ideas were CLEANED the convention
p,aced the matter in the hands Of the
nresident and secretary to draw q
diagram for signs and proceed with
having the road marked. 1t was the
general opinion that marks each mile
should be put up giving the tourists
such information as to distance to
the next town, occasionally giving the
distances to Pueblo and other objec-
tive points, to point out by proper
signs and arrows the battle grounds

counties were very generally in evi-
dence thru the county commissioners
and other road enthusiasts.
1t Is very generally known that to
make the road a real highway Pueblo
county must connect up with the
Crowley county end and until that is
done many tourists which would 9TH
erwise come this way will not take
the boulevard. There is a tendency
now for them to turn north in the east
part of the state and go to Cheyenne
Wells and take another highway
They hear of the bad condition in Pu-
eblo county and prefer to sidestep it.
OF course they can take the Santa Fe
trail from Fowler on in to Pueblo but
they are not familiar with that meth
cd of detouring and so considerable
traffic is lost and Pueblo is the loser
as much as the other towns along the
highway.
