TO THE VOTERS OF MARION COUNTY.

want to say in view of the fact that
you have been kind enough to return
me to the Office of Register, that thank
you from the bottom of my heart, and
while feel grateful to the fullest ex-
tent of man to the whole county, am
so proud of the vote given me by my
own, the 18th district, that cannot find
words to show my appreciation. l can
simply say think more, great deal
more, of your support than any other
man or six men could. ! mean what
say. This is no statement, it's the cold
facts.
And now, kind friends OF Marion
County am by your wish, in the Re-
gister's office, surrounded by great vol
umes of books, and plenty of ink, pens,
blotters and, in fact, everything needed
to promptly record your deeds, but
where, oh where are the deeds?
mean, now don't you see, that without
you give me your title papers to record
that my obligations must go unpaid,
bread and meat will not be supplied
for my family, clothes, coal and wood
will also come up missing too, in fact
and to be serious, you have been good
to put me where | can make a living,
but unless you give me your title papers
to record ! can't do it, that's all. There
10 ID
unless write get nothing don't you
see? There is no man in this country,
so ignorant, but knows that it is dan
gerous to leave title papers lying a.
round loose. Now, good, kind friends
come in and bring your deeds, or send
them to me at once for registration.
Oh but you say If the papers are all
you want l can let you record them.
Now, brother, and it plain, can't live
on wind and until you try and succeed
don't expect me to. want your work
and want pay for it that's all. DOM
think because you voted for me that
ought to do your work for nothing oI
on credit. Now, come on down the
pike with the money and you deeds,
make your property secure and help
old Clint Byrne to get out Of debt and
make living and accept in advance for
same four hundred and forty-six thou
sand thanks.
Respectfully,

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES NOW OFFERED TO
CAPITAL AND LABOR IN THE STATE OF COLORADO

The following facts concerning farm
ing In Colorado are condensed from the
census bulletin issued June, 1902, by
Hon. William r. Merriam, director OF
the United States census:
colorado has total land area of 1O3, :
d4o square miles, or 66.332. 500 acres,
OF which 9,414.5sS acres. or 143 per
cent, are included in farms.
The central aud western divisions OF
the state. comprising about two-thirds
OF Its area, are traversed by the prin-
cipal ranges OF the Rocky mountains.
The eastern third Is occupied by the
great plains, which are not continuous
levels, but a series OF valleys sepa-
rated by ridges and watered by num-
erous rivers. About one-thlrd OF the
state ls well adapted to agriculture, the
remainder being better suited for graz
Ing purposes. The soil OF the foothills
Is fertile and among the mountains are
rich valleys and fine grazing lands. The
arid sands Of the plains are generally
surface deposits, covering soil which
can be rendered productive by irrlga-
tion
The development OF the agricultural
resources of the state dates from the
tAiis pAIt OF lHt uechue lNbp 10 lStt,
at about the time when the territory
was organized. Previous to this time
the Inhabitants consisted, for the most
part, OF miners, who had settled In the
region in 1850. and who had devoted
little attention 10 farming Since the
first agricultural census in 1870, the
number OF farms has increased rapidly.
In the last decade there was an In
crease of 50.1 per cent. The total area
In farms. also. has increased at rapid
rate. principally through entry OF the
public domain aud purchase OF railroad
grant lands.
In 1870 there were 95. .59i acres under
cultivation; in 1880, 6i6,16 acres: in
ls00, 1.s23.520 acres, and in 1900,
2.2T3 ,9Gs acres.
The value of all classes OF farm prop.
erty has advanced rapidly In the last
twenty years, the total value In 1900
being nearly five times as great as In
1850. and 45.9 per cent. greater than
IN 1880. During the last decnde there
has been an increase OF Pol per cent.

reported 4.506 farms. and 13.i62 males
engaged thereon. 2.525 OF whom were

In 1890 there were reported In Colo
RADIO 1880 farms, 30. 1874 males en-

PAwNEs CREEK RESERVOIR.
Great Natural Advantages Possessed
by the Proposed Site.

Denver, July 3O.-The Republican
prints an Interview with G. Il. Timber
lake, commissioner OF the United
States land Office at Sterling, In which
Mr.. Timberlake snys:
I'VE ought not to be hasty In this
thing. II Is by no means definitely set
tied that the first reservoir under the
new law Will be on Pnwnee creek. We
do not know this. but what we do
know Is that the federal government
has withdrawn large section OF the
public lands from entry In that vIcn-
ity, and this action wouiu seem 10 lndI.
cate that the powers that be nre look
Ing toward our neighborliood seriously.
Such reservoir would mean the
reclamation of from 80 900 TO 100000
acres OF arid land. The land immc-
diately around Sterling ~ In the basin
Of the Platte river. a BASIN that ex-
tends back for six or seven miles ana
Is well cultivated Yet this soil IL
heavy and compact. Beyond the basin
and throughout the territory that could
be watered from this reservoir. the soii-
Is light, yet. under water. exceedingly
rich. A reservoir and few years
time would make garden spot of
three or -four barren counties
''The project Is by no means n new
one. Indeed II has been the dream OF
our people for many years. Twice they
have gone so far rs TO have surveys
made with this object In view. lnit
each time II was realized that the
scheme was too large for private enter
prise.
