First Fruits of New Drainage Ditch.

Last Thursday the state highway
engineer and the Federal engineer
were in town and had a meeting with
our county engineer, F. w. Smith, in
reference to the proposed straighten-
ing of the Santa Fe Trail. The visit
ing engineers, after an exhaustive
study of the situation pronounced the
plan feasible and the prospect now is
that the trial will be routed across the
lowlands as soon as the drainage ditch
is in the road being graded up and a
fine new bridge built across the river
between here and Granada. This will
mean, as we have before pointed out
a saving of six miles in the distance
to Granada and the county seat. 1t
will mean a great convenience to our
people and bigger popularity for the
Trail.
The new road will open up a new
territory to be built up and farmed
just as soon as the drainage ditch has
accomplished its work. No one ex-
poets that the new ditch is to redeem
this land or any of the seepy land at
once but by years the land will be i'm
proved till in a few years it will re-
cover its normal condition and then
will bloom like the rose-Holly Chief

Consolidation Bills.

Before the citizens of Colorado get
too enthusiastic over the question of
consolidation of bureaus it would be
well for them to examine closely just
what is to be consolidated and how it
may effect the big industries of the
state. Cne of the great savings pro-
posed in the bill is to do away with the
stock inspection board and place the
work in the hands of other boards that
know as much about the raising of
stock as they do about the handling
of left-handed monkey wrenches. This
might save few dollars to the tax
payers and cost the stockmen of the
state hundreds of thousands. Lower
ing of taxes is imperative if there is
to be a general return of prosperity,
but it should be accomplished intelli-
gently and not by blindly accepting
any parlor dreamer's pet scheme. The
matter is one for thorough study and
united intelligent action.

Stole American Game.

Talk about poker being the Ameri
can national game. Our people don't
know the first rudiments of the bluff
game. Just watch England and Turk
ey bluffing each other at Lausanne
an American couldn't find that place
even on map. Each bluffs that they
are just waiting for the word to fight
and neither of them would do it on
bet. One or the other leaves the
peace table each day, and waits until
noon of the next day. If not invited
back by that time, they come anyway.
It's a great game, but think what
would happen if an Irishman should
happen to drop into the place some
day.

than last. The price of milk has held
steady during January.
The average price of milk in the
Arkansas valley has been considerably
higher during the past year than else
where in the state or in the east. Dur
ing December 1922, the Helvetia com
pany paid 10 cents per pound for but
terfat, while other condenseries in Col
orado were paying so cents to 62la
cents per pound for buterfat. The re-
ceipts at the Lamar plant now total
approximately $1,000 pounds.
As result of the 1922 association
records about 20 to 25 head of poor
producers are to be culled from the
herds, thus increasing average produc-
tion and profits.
The End annual Southeast Stock
Show will be held in Lamar on Feb
ruary 81, % and %. The storage por-
tion of Sundays Garage has been Sc
cured for the housing of the show. A
great many good animals are to be en-
tered and the exhibits will be well rep
resentative of the excellent stock bred
and raised in the lower Arkansas val
ley. Prizes amounting to $4,000 are
offered in the dairy division.
Since Mr.. VIM. Turpin has taken
over the management of the Kornman
elevator, Mr.. Dewitt has assumed full
charge of their dairy herd. The herd
of Turpin & Dewitt is the high herd
this month making an average of 58.5
pounds of butterfat which is the high
est average shown in the association
reports since November 1921, when
the herd of cows owned by Mr.. Ray
Gilbert made an average of Gil lbs
of butterfat. Both of these herds
have been developed through the re-
cords of the association during the
past four years and are a good ex-
ample of the excellent results that can
be obtained through these records.
The A. v. s. B. & I. L. Co., at Hol-
ly have again brought distinction to
themselves as breeders of pure bred
Holsteins. Their show string of elev-
en- head from the Model Dairy has just
completed the trip from Denver and
Wichita Stock Shows. At Denver they
won ten premiums, including three
firsts, silver plate in the milking
contest and a $4,000 suit of clothes
presented by the May Company of
Denver, for the best Breeders Young
Herd. At Wichita they won fourteen
premiums, with four firsts. Their
Junior Herd Sire, Avoco Lodge King
Johana, won second place at both OF
the shows and made the judges study
long and hard between him and the
bull that took first prize. Their Senior
yearling bull, son of their senior
herd sire, won first at the Denver
show. Their three year old heifer
Paramity Maplecrest Ziderzee won the
milking contest at Denver and COM
pleted a seven day test with 1872 lbs
of butter, this record is just two lbs
of butter under the worlds record ir
her class. Show and production re.
cords like these would be hard to du.
plicate in Colorado or even in any OF
the Middle Western states.

The Big Earthquake.


While my wife and l with three
children were in the mission field on
the west coast of South America we
of course became acquainted with most
of the English speaking people near
our home. Coquimbo in Chile was our
headquarters and the following taken
from a recent letter will give some
idea of the terrifying experience of the
earth quake and tidal waves along that
cost about November 10th, 1922.
]. C. HORN.
"Of course you have seen by the
newspapers what an awful experience
we had on the 10th of last November
although Conquimbo did not suffer
anything in comparison with Vallenar,
Huasco, Copiapo and Caldera, yet we
felt it pretty bad here. The earth
quake was bad enough to frighten al
most any one but what caused the
most destruction was the tidal waves
which during the night were three. |
enclose three views taken the follow
ing day. The part that suffered most
is No. 1. In your time there were
only a few ranches there, but the
ground was sold cheap and people
built themselves some nice little homes
and you will see by the view what
we're not completely washed away
were left in ruins. That little steam
er you see caused a great deal of the
damage. There was no one on board
yet the thing would go against
house with such force that together
with the sea destroyed the house. Then
it would go straight to another house
and do the same thing. One would
almost think that there was some one
on board directing it.
The people rushed up to the high
er parts of the town and thus escap-
ed drowning, though of course there
were quite a number who lost their
lives-more than will be known. There
must have been a lot buried in the
sand for the houses with the force of
the sea would just crush and then get
washed over by the sea.
mo. is a view of what was Jen-
kins' store. The part you see in the
middle of the street is a new part
which Jenkins built. The barraca at
the back is complete ruin, the great
er part of the wood was washed away
to the beach. The dwelling house on
the cross corner with the church is in
jured so badly that probably they will
have to build it anew.
mo. 3 is part of the station where
the railway comes out into Aldunate
street. The roofing you see in part
of it was large bodega of the rail-
way. The debris at the right is what
was left of thick stone wall. All the
wholesale places there had very heavy
losses. The sea burst open the doors
as by magic. In one place it washed
out all the merchandise and the next
wave filled the place with sacks of
potatoes which were piled up in the
station.
Since the big quake there is scarce
ly day that we do not get shock
and some are fairly strong and as the
people are still feeling nervous they
make rush out into the middle of the

The average milk production in
creased III pounds above last month
and the average butterfat increased
3.9 pounds. The average cost of feed
is 9 cents more per 100 pounds of
milk than it was last month, due to
the freshening of quite a number OF
heavy producers, which are fed con-
siderably more grain and roughage
than the smaller producing COWS, also
to the feeding of the higher priced hay
meal in a number of herds where hay
was unobtainable. The higher produc-
ton per COW has resulted in an in
crease of S1.66 on the average labor
income per COW for the month. There
are "a more quality cows this month
