Monat Railroad Exposition.

The Denver News outlines the plans
that are being arranged by the man
agement of the Denver. Northwestern
& Pacific Railroad for advertising the
new line and the country through
which It will run.
General Manager A. c. Ridgway. at
headquarters In the Majestic building.
is considering plans for making known
the resources of northwestern Colo
rado upon n scale never before at
tempted by any railway OF the state.
Mr.. Ridgway proposes to establish
bureau in connection with the road for
giving reliable information as to the
coal deposits, the metalliferous de-
posits. the farm lands. the climate and
other resources. He will engage sew
eral experts in the various branches
and these men will go carefully over
the country and make personal inspec-
tlon in their respective fields. Speci-
mems of the various minerals will be
brought to Denver and displayed with
ample facilities, such as n great rail
road corporation is able to provide.
"As a general rule" said Mr.. Ridg-
way In speaking of the subject. "a
railroad company advertises the ad-
vantages of the country through which
II passes. after the road is completed
and In operation. My idea is to have
thorough explorations made and to
supply the information TO all inquirers
in advance of railway construction. In
this way we may be able to have
good local business when the road
comes along. The country will be in
some degree settled up. and mines will
be opened for shipment of ore. From
what have seen in Routt county the
possibilities are beyond ordinary com
putation. and IL we are able to set
plainly before the people the advant-
ages of the region there is no doubt
at all of a large influx of settlers. Even
on this side of the Continental divide
there are fine opportunities for pros
pectors and miners. and we will try to
be In a situation to tell what those op-
portunities are. The information
bureau of our railway Is an idea that
has been pressing on my mind for
some time, and my recent visit to
Steamboat Springs convinced me that
the bureau should be put in operation
as soon as possible. We hope to do
some real good for Colorado. and also
for the railroad. through this means"
Headquarters of the bureau will be
opened in the Majestic building. Mr..
Ridgway favors large rooms on the
ground floor for this purpose, as the
exhibits will occupy quite large
space.

Experiments made during the past
few years have produced surprising
results in many cases without the use
of corn. Cattle finished in the noun

finish their cattle before shipping them
to market to say nothing OF the crops
that might be raised and utilized.
Those who have studied the agricul-
tural situation in the West argue that
economy demands that the farmers
devote their attention to stock raising.
and feeding. They point to the fact
that the bulk of the land will always
be useless for any purpose but grazing
and that farming operations to be prof.
liable, must be conducted as supple-i
lmentary to the use of the vast pas
lures. In other words. that the great
lest value of the farming lands event.
lually will be to produce feed for win
ltering and finishing cattle that have
had free board upon the public pas
lures during the summer.
All over the West farmers and stock
growers are busy experimenting along
this line and at Denver next Febru-
airy some results Will be seen at the
iirst fat stock and feeder exhibition
to be given there for the sole purpose
of demonstrating what can be done.
This promises to be one of the most
interesting exhibitions ever held in the
West and will attract much attention.

coLoaADo's STATE TAX.
Total Valuation Agreed On and Levy
Fixed at Four Mills.

Denver, Oct 1S.-The state board
of equalization has announced the tax
levy for 1902. II will be four mills,
which is one-tenth of a mill less than
last years levy. Four mills is the
constitutional limit, but the Supreme
Court authorized the imposition of an
additional tenth of a mill for interest
on insurrection bonds. AS this insurrec-
tion interest fund ut present contains
sufficient money to pay accruing inter
est, the levy for that purpose was
omitted for 1902.
The fourmill levy is made on a
grand total valuation. as fixed by the
state board, of 1852, 2,6S4.219. This
yields the sum of s1.410.736 for all
purposes, which is almost half a mil
lion dollars less than the revenue from
the levy for 1901. The levy for state
purposes-to run the state government

this years assessment valuation 1884,

this purpose.
This sum-" said Auditor Crouter
yesterday, will be ample to pay the
expenses of the government for the
year, with the additional revenue
which comes in from fees received by
the secretary of state and from the
corporation tax, land board revenues,
etc. In 1901 we had an excess of rev.
enue over expenditures. and the same
will be true in 1902. though the reduc-
ton in valuation of course cuts down
the total to be raised from the tax
levy. do not anticipate any de.
ficiency in revenue in any depart
