SANTA FE ENGINEER CHAPMAN
HAVING HIS SHARE OF ILL LUCK
Yesterday morning while running
the general manager's special out , of
La Junta, Engineer Chapman of this
i city, had ' the misfortune to get his
back hurt as he tried to escape the
eccentric rod from hie engine which
Suddenly broke while passing through
Omega. The engineer slipped as he
tried to avoid the expected crash of
the broken engine and severely
wrenched his back. Luckily he got the
train under control by applying the
brakes and it was soon stopped. He
was hurt too seriously to remain on
the engine and his place was taken
by Traveling Engineer McCready and
the special was brought into Raton
with one side broken down. Engineer
Chapman was taken to the La Junta
hospital for treatment. It will be re
membered that about eighteen months
ago Engineer Chapman had an acci
dent when he jumped from his en
gine, when he thought that a wreck
was inevitable, because he though
he saw an approaching train
miss the switch which It should
have taken. He received a serious
cut about the head at that time. His
fireman, Arthur Stewart, at that time,
had the misfortune since to have a
leg cut off. It seems that Engineer
Chapman is having his share of ill
luck. Raton Range.

John T. Burns,
of the dry farming congress, which
has permanent headquarters in 'Den-'
ver, left that city for Billings, Mont.,
where the next session of the con
gress will be held for the purpose of
organizing the field for the meeting.
Burns has just returned from a trtp
over eleven western states, in which
he outlined his . campaign of organ
ization to the dry farmers jand to the
various state governments, and re
ports amazing progress.
"I found many new and wonderful
things in the course of my trip," said
Burns to a reporter for the Republi
can before leaving for Billings. "In
eastern Oregon and Washington I
found that they arq and have been
for years raising from 20 to 30 bush
els of wheat per acre on eight inches
annual precipitation. In central Cal
ifornia they are raising magnificent
crops of small fruits on ten inches of
rainfall, and in Texas, J. F. Reeves,
who has grown very rich on a 6,000
acre dry farm, put 60 acres in water
melons as a test last year, and his net
cash returns were $100 per acre. This
last feat was performed on seven and
three-quarters inches of rainfall.
"Now the above are facts that so
far have been hidden under a bushel.
In Colorado such feats are consider
ed absolutely and prohibitively im
possible, and I'm almost' afraid to tell
them for fear of being immediately
elected to the Ananias .. club. But
they are true, nevertheless, and show

farming.
"In New Mexico I found that 23,000
dry farm homesteads have been en
tered In the last 15 months. I be
lieve that New Mexico is being colo
nized more rapidly than almost any
other state. There I discovered the
first real faking. A Chicago land
company Is advertising that for" $2.50
it will locate a homestead in New
Mexico. Secretary H. B. Henning of
the bureau of immigration of New
Mexico, has discovered that the land
advertised is all mountain, standing
perpendicular. He and I are going to
