Der, those who tell you no better con-

the idea Of a country without king
they wanted the king. This proposed
condition can be brought about in a
legal, peaceful manner, by laws Of
congress and state legislatures. Your

for such laws if you once can grasp
what is needed. / appeal to you for

The San Luis Valley.

EDITOR ADvoCATE-I have just
made a trip to the San Luis valley,
Colorado, and as there is great in
quiry in regard to that country, 1
thought my impressions of the valley
might be of interest to your readers.
The railroads of Kansas are acting the
dog in the manger. They give no con-
cessions nor offer any inducements to
proposed settlers. The Denver & Rio
Grande are offering every inducement
possible to get the people to travel over
their line. And for gentlemanly treat
ment by officials and trsinmen, they
cannot be surpassed. Their equip
ment and service is excellent, and the
scenery along their line cannot be sur
passed in the world.

silver for Temporary RelleG

The reader will overlook the pub
fishers seeming conceit in publishing
ing letters containing praise Of the
ADVOCATE, when, as in the case Of
the following from M. J. Wells, of
Woodston, Kss., the letter contains
some good suggestions on another
subject:
81 wish to say of the ADVOCATE
that / think it one of the very best
reform papers, and think it comes
as near comprehending the great So
cisl movement in which civilized peo-
pie are becoming involved as any
which l read. The Importance which
you give to the land question, and the
position which you take in relation
thereto, meets my approval. The land
question is the most fundamental OF
economic functions, and the most i'm
portant. 1t was with man at the be-
ginning; has been with him through
out every social condition, and follows
him to the grave. 1t seems to me that
the most scientific way to treat money
is as a public utility, comparable to
transportation, communication, etc.
The questions of material, volume,
methods of issuing, ETC., will be of
mere details to be worked out in the
interest of a patriotic and Efficient
public service. We should then have
land and the public utility as the
great question asking for immediate
solution. Financial reform along the
lines advocated by the silver party
would, at best results, only offer tenn
porsry relief, to be followed by
another panic, when we should find as
a result more tramps and larger per
cent. of homeless"

By the acts of 1892 the two cities
were authorized to issue ~ million
dollars more in bonds brooklyn two

now in progress. An examination Of

of course goes back to the cities in due
course of conducting the enterprise
and paying the interest and principal
of bonds. The trustees are sllJwed to

no such person has been retained when
the habit became known.
The courtesy and service Of the
\ bridge employees compared with that
of employees of private methods Of
transportation in both New York and
Brooklyn, is a matter of favorable
comment by the public.
BY act of legislature, taking effect
April IL, 1898, the old board of un-
sslaried trustees was superseded by
slaaried members whose terms are five
years, two appointed from each city by
the respective mayors at a salary of
$4,000 each, the president to receive
$4,000.
At the present time the board of
trustees consists of two members from
Brooklyn, James Howell and Seth L.
Keeney; two from New York, Edward
V. Skinner and G. A. Henriques, and
the mayors and comptrollers of the
two cities ex-oficio. The officers Of
the bridge organization are: James
Howell, president; E. V, Skinner, vice
president; Henry Beam, secretary; Ed
ward Clark, treasurer; Charles G. Mar
tin, chief engineer and superintendent,
with an assistant engineer, and captain
of police.
The board of trustees meets monthly.
Five members form quorum, thereby
securing the attendance Of at least one
of the ex-officio members. Mayor
Schieren is regular attendant. The
trustees report annually on December l
to the mayors of New York and Brook
lyn, giving an account of all money re-
ceiVed and expended. The bridge ac-
counts are examined semi-annually by
a board consisting of the auditor of

Change cars at Pueblo and take the
Denver & Rio Grsnde and you are
landed at Alamoss, in the center Of
the valley, at s o'clock in the morning.
The valley is a vast level plain, extend.
ing north and south $50 miles, and east
and west fifty miles, and is surrounded
by snow-clad mountains, which are
covered with cedar, pine, fir and
pinon. Timber is free to all. There
are mills in the mountains where good
lumber can be purchased for $8 to $l2
per 1000 feet. There is some land yet
which can be homestesded and pre-
empted. There are fine grass lands at
the foot of the mountains that can be
taken, from which large quantities Of
hay can be cut. The Colorado Land
and immigration company have 100,-
600 acres for sale, all under the Empire
ditch, and cross-ditches on every farm.
A great proportion of it is in cultivs.
ton and fenced with two and three
wires with cedar posts.
The parties going first can get a
fairly good house and stables and out
buildings with flowing srtesisn well
on each farm. The water supply can
not be surpassed in the world and ap-
pears inexhaustible. Water is flowing
from over 1900 wells.
The land in its wild state is covered
with grease wood, but this land has
been all cleared off, and man can start
plowing the next day after arrival.
The land is a reddish sandy loan and
is from two to ten feet in depth. AL
falfs is raised and is cut in two crops;
peas and oats are sown together and
are cut twice each season. Potatoes
grow to enormous size and yield from
400 to 700 bushels per acre; oats from
forty to 100; barley, timothy and clover
do well, and onions, beets, turnips and
all root crops yield enormously.
l saw one man who said that he had
seen one potato that weighed eleven
pounds, another that weighed seven
pounds, and a cabbage that weighed
forty-seVen pounds. Wheat produces
from twenty to sixty bushels per acre.
The mountains surrounding the valley
are full of rich mines which furnish a
splendid market for all the people pro-
duce.
Groceries are about the same as in
Kansas. Sugar at Alamoss is eighteen
pounds for 81, Lenox soap 5 cents a
package, coffee % cents, butter 25
cents, eggs 10 cents, potatoes so per
1O0-Weight, oats $1.25 per 1OO.weight,
wheat 10 cents per 1OO-weight, and
alfalfa hay $3.50 per ton.
The roads are simply perfect, as hard
and solid as macadam and level as
floor. The ground ploWs up like an
ash heap. No weeds grow; and l heard
of one man who raised 700 bushels of
potatoes and only planted and dug
them; gave no cultivation at all.
Meat cures perfectly in the open air.
1 saw jack rabbits killed and hung out
side of the house all cured and ready
to eat. There are no insect pests and
no snakes.
Small fruits do well. Currsnts,
strawberries, blsckberries and rasp-
berries grow wild in the mountains
and can be had for the picking. The

In this hour when the appalling seri-
BUSINESS of present conditions fills eV-

hension, it is high time something were
done along this line. Cooperation or
disintegration must be the wstchWord

world. Hope and faith in the old or
der are dead. 1t is either onward and
forward to a grand life of light, lib
erty and love, or backward and down,

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-A friend called
my attention to a request in the ADVo-
CATE of Mach 20, 1895, that all persons
faVoring cooperative colonization re-
port to you for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning how many of your readers fs-
Vor such a movement. You also
stated that the columns of the ADvo.
CATE would be opened to the discus
sion of the subject. Having been a
lifelong believer in cooperation, l
hasten to respond, and shall be glad to
participate in suggesting plans and

only through proper cooperation of
labor upon natural resources that in

plunged by svsrice and greed.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 30.-The sen-
ate was the scene o. great confusion
during the afternoon by personal en-.
counter between Senator Stewart and
the sergeant-at-arms, which precipi-
tated free fight between a number of
senators and bystanders. Senator
Stewart was called to order while
speaking OH the tax bill, and, upon his
ignoring the chair, the sergeant-at-
arms was called in. He refused to sit
down and the two men scuffled for q
moment, when the sergeant arms
grasped the senator's long chin whisk-
ers with his right hand. In the mean-
time the senators and spectators had
gathered in circle around the strug-
Cling man. Senator Jeffries, "a Popu-
list, elbowed his way through the
crowd to the center and undertook to
assault the sergeant-at-arm Senators
McKeeby and Hitchcock at once forced
him back to his seat. Hale, another
Popuhst senator, sprang into the melee
and grasped the sergeant alarms. Sen
ator Sloan threw himself upon Hale,
and, with the assistance of Senator
Hitchcock, forced him back to his
chair. No other senators undertook tG
interfere and the>fight ended.
