| lnnu III tne state. FROM all accounts
the new country is certainly an ideal
one both for the miner and the farmer.
F. The Indications are that Colorado
will make n fine showing at the Paris
exposition in 1900. The commission
appointed by the governor, consisting
of Mary NJ. Grant, JohI Il. Campion
and w. s. Ward, is actively engaged in
planning for the state exhibit. AS
there will be no special nllot-
mcnts of space for state exhibits, Colo-
RADIO will make its exhibit with that of
the general government, thus giving
opportunities for comparison that will
revert to the benefit Of the state.
The general government has seen fit
to make mn appropriation sufficient to
cover all expenses. Two of the
national committeeman. Mcssrs.
Skif and Ferdinand W. Peck,
will visit Denver in the near
future to present the matter TO the
people and stir up enthusiasm in favor
Of the exposition.

Horse creek. Mark Coad and C.. j.
Hcysham. who recently placed n large
number of cattle in this district, are
having a conflict with n number Of the
small ranchmen who have occupied the

that the smaller ranchmen gathered an
armed force of sympathlzers and about
week ago gave Coad and Heysham
notice to drive their cattle of the range
by midnight Of March 10Th under pen
atty of having the cattle and themselves
killed If they failed to comply. Coad
and Heysham applied 10 the county au-
thorties for protection and yesterday
Deputy Sheriff Warlaumont left for the
scene of the expected trouble. which is

vent the stockmen from carrying out

Referring TO the dispatch from Glen
wood Springs stating that the land
office there had received notice Of the
failure of the general land office to
confirm the selection of some 10000
acres Of indemnity land in Routt and
Rio Blanco counties. l.. c. Paddock,
state appraiser and former register of
land. says: "The land selected was
checked Off at the Glenwood office and
the state has paid Its fees of II. cents
an acre. The lists sent to Washington
were identlcally the same in form as
the lists sent before by other regis
trars. Under new ruling. made by
some new bureau chief. the general
land office at Washington now re-
quires specific base TO be set up
against n specific selection. This new
rule involves considerable office work.
as IL requires us 10 go into the ques-
tion of fractional acres lost. setting up
n fractional acre lost against the claim
for fractional acre selected. The
new land board has employed ]. 4.
Joyce to formulate the lists according
to the general land office rule. and the
work is now going on. The state has
checked OF the lands at the Glenwood
office and has paid lis fee. and viii
insist on n reasonable time to conform
TO the unreasonable requirements OF
the general land office"
