Inspected Jordon’s Town
One of the boys interested in the
new town of Artesia asks ns to publish
the following, clipped from a Guymon
paper.
Artesia, Colorado, the new town lo
j cated in Baca county, Colorado, which
| town was recently purchased by J. W.
Jordqn, one pf our most prominent and
well-to-do town builders, was visitsd
last week by Mg Jordon, accompanied
by J. C. Sheil, of the firm of Sheil &
Langston, and James E. Breslin, of the
law firm of Harris & Breslin, and Rex
Powelson of the garage. They spent
several days at the new town among
the artesian wells, and left a civil en
. gineer with a number of hands finish
ing the work of laying out the town
■ and to complete arrangements for the
' wells to be drilled on the townsite.
1 Several fine flowing 'wells have been
struck within a radius of one mile of
the town, and while an abundance of
excellent water could easily be obtained
| from these wells for the town, Mr.
Jordon, "who never does things by
. halves,” is determined to put one or
two artesian wells on the townsite so
> that the residents will have ample
! water with which to raise flowers,
1 gardens, and grow trees* Artesia is
i located on the south side of the Two
Buttes’ irrigation district and is an
! ideal spot for a town, having an excel
l lent drainage. It is a beautiful sight
to see the artesian wells, which arc
only 250 to 500 feet deep sending out
■ several hundred gallons of water every
minute, these wells being within reach
of the poor man. The whole country
is booming and will no doubt be a com
er. Both Mr. Sheil and Mr. Breslin
are loud in their praises of the country
and predict great things for the people
who are lucky enough to get in on the
ground floor at Artesia.

School News
(By County Superintendent),
Let there be many windows to your
soul,
That all the glory of the universe
May beautify it. Not the narrow pane
Of one poor creed can cutcli the radiant
raya
That shine from epuntleas sources.
Tear away
The blinds of supeit tition; let the light
Pour through fair windows broad as
truth itself
| And high as God. —Selected.
The following pupils in the Vilas
school were absent nor tardy
during the last school month: Laura,
Millard, Nathan, Ora and Kollo Amer
ine, Mary Crick and Johnnie Yolcum.
R. M. Anderson of Stonington, was
at Springfield Saturday, to qualify for
County Superintendent of Schools, and
to spend some time in the office ac
quainting himself with the work. His
term, according to law, began last
Tuesday, and Saturday he expects to
be in his office.
With this the retiringsuperintendent
terminates his work. We do not feel
like doing it without a word of appre
ciation for co-operation during the six
years,- especially to the teachers.
Owing to the great distance between
some of our schools there were not as
many meetings as we would like to
have had, and so. not the uniformity
in the work as should have been. But
where possible, there was ready accept
ance of some proposed new plans,
changes and improvements. To direc
tors and patrons also we oxtend words
of thanks for valuable co-oppration in
many instances. It is natural that
teachers are easier enthused than di
• rectors in rural districts, but directors,
100, should be enthusiastic, and we
mention it believing that in the future,
teachers and superintendent will find it
easier lo do efficient work if all direc
tors be enthusiastic and have a realiza
tion of tho responsibilities and poasi
bilities of the directors’ offices. Dis
agreements and opposition were en
countered, and mistakes made nodoubt,
but we are glad to say that there was
but little abuse. And it is hoped that
no one expects an apology from us,but
rather concede a motive hut to p|*pmote
the interests of the schools. There was
worry, anxiety, hard work, pleasure
genuine pleasure - because the worn
brought us into contact with the youth
in a possible way to assist in their train
ing and preparation to fulfill tho pur
pose of their existence which is to dis
charge their obligations to God, to
themselves, and to humanity. And to
find that in some way assistance was
rendered in such develodments and
preparations for life, will be sweet sat
isfaction and compensation for the
labor. We plead for co-operation with
Mr. Anderson, and pledge it on our
j part, wishing him a successful admin
istration und the greatest good possible
to the schools of the county.
