The local of\nfice in Alamogordo which is in\ncharge of Forest Supervisor Neal\nis also willing to assist the men\nwho are prospecting in the hills\nand the story that the depart\nment is opposed to the mining\nindustries is false.\nIt seems incredible, \"that for\nlive thousand quarter sections of\nland in the Rosebud agency there\nwere -.'ii (i.ii (i (I applicants.\nThe Rosebud agency is a section\nof land in South Dakota which\nthe government recently opened\nfor settlement. The soil is al\nmost identical w ith that of west\nern Kansas and Nebraska, the\nrain fall is about the same. The\ndepth of flowing water is on an\naverage over 10U feet and in\nmany places from no upward.\nThere is neither fuel nor build\ning material within miles and\nmiles of the agency and the\nwinters are simply terrible, while\nthe summers are short and hot.\nYet when the government ad\nvertised this land open for entry\nupon the condition that the set\ntlers are to pay tt.00 per acre\nfor it in addition to complying\nwith the homestead law. they\nrushed in in such numbers that\nonly one man in forty had a\nchance to win. Pray tell us why\nthere remains one acre of unset\ntled laud in this beautiful Sacra\nmento valley, where the climate\nis perfect, the soil is fertile, the\nwater shallow and abundant,\nboth fuel and building material\non your own land and a market\nfor everything that you have to\nsell. Ye hungry land seekers\nof the north and east turn your\nattention to the Great Southwest\nand the Sacramento Valley.\nA Space Filler\nJohn J. Ingalls, a celebrated\nKansas statesman once wrote an\narticle such as only John J. In\ngall's caustic pen could write\nand in it portrayed the Satanic\nMajesty, with his seat of govern\nment changed from hell to New\nMexico. With due apologies to\nthe honored Kansas brother the\nfollowing is submitted.\nThe devil grinned a hideous\ngrin and quietly stroking his\npointed chin, he held himself\nwith a haughty air and mused,\n\"That job is parsing fair.\" A\npleanre resort this place will be\nfor jnit a row honored gucst ana\nme Ml and his ungel can't now\nreclaim that sunburnt, cacti-set, 1\nd.-eit plain. Hut to make it'\nsure, i it sow the seen oi me\nrattlesnake ami the centipede;\nof every briar I'll plant the root\nand throw in a thousand burrs to\nbunt: when I get through with\ntheir \"Sunny Southwest\" they'll\nthink I've been going about my\nbest. It will be no home for the\nhuman race, it will truly be\nknown as a hell of a place. But\nthe Kansas man with his hoe and\nhis level seemed to know not the\nfears of even the devil. Of\nnature's great laws he had some\ninformation and plenty of faith\nin God and the nation. He dug\na good well and set up a mill\nand built a nice house at the\nbow of the hill. He got him a\ncow, and a horse, and a hen and\nstarted to work as if expecting\nto win. There was never a time\nhe attempted shirk, but ever\nwas ready and willing to work.\nHe planted the kaifir and millet\nand maise: and startled his\nneighbors with crops that he\nraised. Twelve months in the\nyear from his garden he'd pick\nabundance to eat, and he never\nsick, 'twas the finest climate and\nhealthiest place Clod ever gave\nto the human race. The devil,\nhe tore and snorted and swore\nand promised to burn him for\never more. He incited the cow\nman to swear, \"it was known that\nnever a thing in the valley had\ngrown.\" The Kansas man sat\nwith his chin on his hand, calm\nly surveying the lay of the land\nthen resuming his spade, his hoe\nand his level, he quietly told\nhim to go to the devil. His fig\ntree has prospered, his apple and\npear; around and about him are\ncrops everywhere. His simple\nreceipt is, take brain, take vim\nand the mixture, will make the\nwhole valley a beautiful picture.\nMOUNTAIN PARK\nPUBLIC SCHOOL\nPrincipal, L. V.
