THINGS POLITICAL

The state election will occur next
fall, at which time governor and an
entire state ticket will be elected.
Three Republicans names are being
talked of for governor. They are
Frank Cloudy, who was the Republic
can candidate two years ago, d. B.
Farley of Colorado Springs, who was
recently elected state chairman, and
John S. Springer the big cattle man.
+ + +
+. f. Brooks, an attorney at Colo
RADIO Springs, is II candidate for the
Republican nomintion for congress-
man at large. H. NJ. Hogg, an at
torney at Telluride would accept the
nomination in the second district
(Fremontscounty is in this district)
and Thos, Bonynge, Denver attor-
ney would like the nomination in the
first district. There will no doubt be
many other candidates for these places
before the state convention.
Irving Howberta has been suggested

doesn't have the place, there isn't
another man in the state Mr.. How
bert's equal.

Up in Cripple Geek they, are talk
ing of Charlie Wells for state senator
from Teller county. Charlie would
make about as lively II campaign for
helplace as any man they could find.

Some sofk the Democratic slate makes
have fixed something good up for their
next state convention. First they
would have the convention endorse
Henry NJ. Teller for reelection as
United States senator. Then they
will nominate Orman for governor.
Bell and Shaffroth for congress and put
Alva Adams up for congressman at
large. That would make strong com
bination and one hard to beat, but the
main trouble will be to get Mr..
Adams to agree to the arrangement.
His friends think that Democrat
ought to go to the senate in place of
Mr.. Teller, who belongs to no party

MANY PICNICs

Picnics galore We're held last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday. On Fri
day it seemed as if the whole of the
younger element of the city were bent
on going picnicking. Some went to
Grape Creek, others to the Royal
Gorge, and some to the foot of the
Hog Back. The various parties were
conveyed to the picnic grounds on
hay racks, buggies, bicycles, auto-
mobiles and foot. The day was AS fine
Ms could be, and "a very large num-
Der of young people, very tired, but
pleased, returned home in the evening.
There were also good many pic
MICS on Saturday and Sunday. There
are so many places where one can go to
spend day hereabouts, and to stran-
gers, who are not familiar with noun
tains and scenery, it is very much of a
treat to be able to take these trips.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

The business in the Canon City
Postoffice DUNG the past year was $l5,-
s7274. AT the Florence postoffice it
was only trifie over $4,000. No
comment is necessary.
This weather makes one feel like
getting down the old fishing rod and
stretch out the leaders and lines. 1t
won't be long till time to use them.
Take street hack now and then
and go out and see the town. You
will be surprised at the growth of the
city and the air you breathe will be
worth the price of the drive.
If it were not for some enterprise
in The Record office, the brainless
compiler of the ''hit and miss" column
in the Times would have hard work to
fill the space with his humorless jokes.
Like most school boys and amateurs,
who furnish copy for the local paper,
he finds his chief delight in throwing
spiteful slurs, and in otherwise en-
deavoring to take fall out Of
neighbor paper. The Record is so far
above following that style of journal
ism that it has let more than a dozen
of these little spiteful filings pass by
unnoticed. The Record has found it
good business policy always to say
good of business competitor, if pos
sible, and if not possible, to say moth
ing at all. 1t might be fair to say
that Mr.. Terrill has nothing TO do

as to use the blue pencil

POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT

h SpCSidI piSPdNNii tp NiiN '<Oo Ahh les Herald from Washington says: "Charlcs D. Wocott, director of the geological survey, has sent Senator Hansbrough, for use by the Senate public lands committee in it's consider ation tomorrow of the irrigation bill, a detailed statement of facts and figures showing the arid land acreage, cost of reclamation, value per acre of re- claimed land, population it will sus- tain, etc. This statement will be sub- mitted as part of the committees re- port in favor of the passage of the bill. It forms the most convincing argument for irrigation yet made and comes with all the force of great scientific gov ernment bureau which has investigated irrigation with special reference to the proposed legislation.
 "The following statements are sum marized from Director Wolcott's re- port;
 'From 60 ,0oO, 900 to l00,00o,0o0 acres of arid land are available for irriga- ton, but it will not be necessary for government to reclaim it all.
 If the government would build the great dams and divert large rivers, in- dividual enterprises would be able to put water on the greater part of this land.
 "It is estimated that if the govern ment conserves water for 20,000,0O0 acres, which Wolcott thinks is fair proportion, individuals would obtain water for the remainder.
 Water conservation costs from $5 to $2s per acre, depending on natural difficulties to be overcome. Twenty five dollars would be prohbitive in Montana, but very reasonable in Ari- zona, where high grade products are raised.
 The cost to irrigate 20, GOO, 900 acres, the governments share, would be SIS an acre, but ultimately the land would be worth three times that figure.
 "Vacant public land now amounts to COG, 100000 acres.
 Land now irrigated, chiefly in Col orado and California, comprises o,S00,- 900 acres.
 'The water supply of the country is sufficient for the conservation of about 100, ,o0o, ,000 acres. Should the govern ment reclaim 20,0o0,000 acres, private individuals could at once reclaim 20,- 600, 1000 acres more, making +0,0oo,000 acres the total.
 Probable expense to the govern ment during thirty-eight years for 10000, 900 acres at SIS an acre, SS0o,- COG, ,000.
 "Probable expense to individuals for 20,000,0 900 acres at $50 per acre, 5000, 900, 900.
 "Population made possible in forty years as a result of irrigation, 30,oo0,- GOO.
 "Value of land brought under set tlement, excluding buildings, cattle,
