DURANGO GIRLS SWOOP
AND ANNIHILATE
WHOLE VALLEY

The Durango High School
basketball team meandered
over the mountain range be-
tween the San Juan basin and
San Luis valley, pitching camp
at Del Norte, where they
cleaned up on the Del Norte
team, % to 8. They then slid
down to Monte Vista where it
was almost manslaughter, 81
to 4 in favor of the Durango
team. Nothing ado, they came
on down to Alamosa the next
day and gave us an awful
walloping, 10 to 8, the Ala
mosa High trying hard to save
something for the valley.
The Durango team had al
ready cleaned up on all the
mining towns of the San Juan
and the pumpkin domain of
MonteZuma county.
They have only Pueblo and
Delta to defeat now to be the
champion team of the South
west.
The personnel of the Du-
range team is strong without
exception.-Alamosa Empire.

room OF old. and fit you to play the
man for all coming life. All are
invited. The pastor and his people
appreciate the other churches
courtesy.

IL
IL T. C. Anderson of. .JamestoK has
invented lister for cultivating po-
tatoes that is the envy Of the men
of his neighborhood.
"A lister is a pillow that throws the
dirt both ways at once differing
from the old single shovel cultiva-
tor in that 1t has two moldboards
that are not like the single shovel
cultiVator nor like the moldboard
pillow, but a cross between the two.
Mr.. Anderson's lister is built on
the esulky- fashion with two wheels
and seat and levers to control the
depth at which the pillow or
lister part runs. 1T is operated with
two horses and it cuts a clean per-
feet trench down between the potato
rows killing the weeds and leaving
the trench in good shape for the
water to follow.
MI. Anderson built this machine
out Of parts Of four, or five plows
and has been using it as an expert
ment. It was so successful that
neighbors having the disk cultiva-
tors and other types have been bor-
rowing or leasing the machine most
Of the. summer since potatoes are old
enough to cultivate. Mr.. Anderson
thinks it has gone over at least $50
acres ,of potatoes and has been busy
just sabout all the time in the
neighborhood.
He has one of the, walking
listers that operate with one horse
and one man walking behind. A
demonstration made this week with
the two machines working side by
side showed that the walking lister
did not make so even furrow, but
followed up and down over the
humps and thru the hollows and

r. e. HANSEN ANNOUNCES

RIO E. Hansen, the stockman and
garage proprietor, has entered the
race for the nomination for COM
missioner of the second (Blackfoot)
district on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Hansen was born at Soda
Springs in 1874 and has lived in
Bingham county practically all his
life. He has engaged in the stock
business, both sheep and cattle, has
engaged successfully in several lines
of the mercantile business in Black
foot, operates the Three-A Garage,
and has had a varied experience.
Before the slump in business he sold
some ranches and had to take them
back, he built the addition to the
big garage and now he is one Of the
heaviest taxpayers in the county. He
has interests in the hills and he has
farms in the valley, and friends all
over the county in practically all
lines of business. People who have
dealt with Mr.. Hansen know what
character of man he is, and those
who do not know him are invited to
confer with those who do. ,t
Mr.. Hansen says he is ont a candi-
date because Of any ambitions of his
own, but that good many men have
asked him to. enter the race and out
of consideration for their wishes and
the compliment conferred in their
requests he consented to be candi-
date, and respectfully solicits the
consideration of all voters whose
duty it becomes to choose between
the Republican candidates at the
primaries. adv.

could not be adjusted to make a
furrow just as desired. The mans
weight in the seat on the sulky lister
by Mr.. Anderson, together with the
shift of the levers and the carrying
feature of the wheels enables them
to put the lister down to just the
depth desired. The wheels are
somewhat in advance of the lister
so that if the machine goes over a
ridge the pillow goes thru it.
The old irrigators will remember
that the ordinary machine that is
used as a cultivator between the po-
tato rows after irrigation makes 1t
difficult to get the water thru the
next time, and for this reason pota-
toes have not been cultivated much.
The Anderson lister does the work
and leaves the burrows in perfect
form again. The cultivation is two
fold, it kills the weeds, serves the
ground so that evaporation is inter-
rupted. The cultivation to stop
evaporation of water is full of little
passages which are straight UP and
down that are called capillaries or
pores. They stand like millions of
little pipe stems reaching from the
surface down into the ground sew
eral inches. When the ground is
wet it takes the form and in drying
it leaves little pores open that are
two inches in depth and the more
the ground is saturated the larger
and more complete is this capillary
system. When evaporation begins
thru these little pores it continues
more rapidly where the saturation
has been greatest. That is the reason
why it is a disadvantage to get the
ground saturated, merely getting it
moist makes it hold water longer

w. T. England of Moreland
wishes to say to the public that he is
a candidate for reelection as COM
missioner for the second district,
that he is candidate because many
people of his home community and
some from many other communities
have expressed the wish that he do
so, and because Of the fact that he
feels a pride in being given the
stewardship Of the county business
when SO many people give him their
help in administering public bust
ness and express satisfaction with
the way he handles tt. Under these
conditions he is glad to serve the
public, but under any other condi-
ton he prefers to be retired, and
when their choice is expressed at the
polls he will cheerfully accept their
decision. .....,. adv. 28tf
