The Democrat appreciates the many compliments being paid us over the excellent market reports that daily appear in this newspaper. Our Buffalo market is correct up to the last minute and is the same report that appears in the metropolitan papers the 1 following morning. There are no flies on the Democrat, that' sure. Notwithstanding the fact that Mayor Becker and the Anderson Herald are I insurging, here comes a red hot dis-’ patch from Washington to the effect that Governor Marshall made a distinct impression upon the great men o’ the country and that now his chances of being the party’s candidate for the presidency are as certain as any cinch could be, that is not a cinch. From the viewpoint of Mayor Becker and the Anderson Herald they must be an awful slow lot of people over there in Washington.

THERE ON BUSINESS Became Sick and Was Taken to Hospital—Wife Was Miss Maude Hendricks. Word received here today by relatives is to the effect that Frank Houghson, for several years city attorney of Portland, died last night at 6 o'clock at Indianapolis, where he had gone on business. While there he became suddenly sick and was taken to the hospital, his death occurring last night. Mr. Houghson had been subject to attacks of acute indigestion, and it is thought this caused death, though the message was very meager. He was also suffering from tonsilitis. The deceased was about thirty-six years of age. He >vus one of the best known attorneys of Portland, and is known to many of the Adams county bar. His wife was formerly Miss Maude Hendricks, a daughter of John W. Hendricks of Portland. She is also a niece of Miss Jane Hendricks of this city, and a cousin of Mrs. Walter Kauffman, with whom she has often visited. The body was brought to his late home in Portland and funeral arrangements will be made as soon as the relatives can be communicated with. Mr. Houghson’s mother resides in Wisconsin, and the parents of Mrs. Houghson are now located at St. Petersburg, Fla. Mrs. Kauffman will leave Wednesday morning for Portland to be with her cousin Tn her bereavement. A sad feature is that the little child of Mr. and Mrs. Houghson is very sick with catarrhal fever.

Compare this with the snow bound condition of other portions of the country and ask yourself if it’s really worth while to endure this rigorous climate when such a place as the Arkansas Valley of Colorado is in existence. Our land is the finest sugar beet and alfalfa land on earth and will produce SIOO and more per acre per year. I want a chance to explain this land to you and tell you about the next excursion on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, Ist.

Forty acres will keep your family and educate your children; 80 to 100 acres will make you wealthy. 20 FACTS. CAN YOU BEAT THEM?

1. Irrigated land in the Rocky Ford District famous for melons, sugar beets, alfalfa, stock feeding, fruit, grain, etc. 2. Our tract adjoins the County Seat, a town of 7,200 population, with schools, libraries, railway shops, etc. 3. Every part of our tract is witbin three miles of a railway shipping point. 4.
