Hoosier Improvement Company Send Good Word From West.

Goodland Herald. Word from the Hoosier Improvement Company, out In San Aciaio, Cotillo county, Col., is to the effect that they are very much pleased with the climate and the country. Mr. Hawn writes home and says plowing would begin the first of this week in earnest and that they had all the work contracted that they could possibly handle. They were told that they could operate their plows all winter. Mr. Wm. Banes and Chas. Spinney are helping Mr. Hawn. W. W. Washburn, who is looking after and cutting the large flax crop put in by this company near Selby, S. D., this season, sends home favorable reports. The crop will be a heavy one and the Indian summer there will add greatly to the crop. After a frost this crop will be harvested. A J. Spinney is still at Jolliette, N. D., where he is making preparations to thresh the large wheat crop raised on the Spinney farm.
