COLORADO'S GRAND OUTLOOK
FOR UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH

Denver, April 1.-The Republican
thus summarizes the industrial pros
poets of the state:
Fifty millions to be put in circula-
ton. This is the immediate outlook In
the state of Colorado. The figures do
not include the output OF the mines,
nor of the fields, nor the beet sugar
gardens. They do not contemplate the
ordinary revenues of the business live
stock and manufacturing interest OF
the state. nor the millions to be
brought and left in the state by the
summer tourists. This is money over
and above all the ordinary additions TO
the fund of cash in the state of Colo
RADIO.
All over the state railway construc
ton is in progress. New roads are
planned and older roads are being ex-
tended to reach new territories. And
In each railway the principal item of
expense will be labor-and all the
money spent for labor stays in the
state, for it is spent with local Iner-
chants.
Saying nothing of the immense an
nual addition to the money in circula-
ton which will come from the opening
OF beet sugar factories in the north
ern part of the state, there is more
than S4,OOO,O0O now being spent, or
which will be spent, in building and
equipping the factories. hundreds
of laborers are employed ut the works
and in making brick and iron and 9th
er parts of the great buildings, and the
wages paid TO all of them add to the
fund of money going from hand 10
hand in the state, contributing to the
era of good times and general prosper
ity.
The packing plant now going up at
the stockyards will cost 100000 just
to build and that is all that is figured
into the great total. But every dollar
which is put into the bare building and
machinery means that SO which have
hitherto gone east with beef, or gone
east for beef, Will stay here in Colo
RADIO, or Will come to Colorado from
nelghboring states and stay here.
Denver will start within few
months on the new library building
100000 for Colorado brickmakers and
ironw orkcrs, stonecutters, builders and
architects. Hotels and apartment
houses are being built or are soon TO
be begun which will cost more than

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TWO SECTIONS FOR ONE.
Leasers of Railroad Lands Control Al
ternate Sections.

Denver. April IA Republican spe-
cial from Cheyenne says that an i'm
portant decision was handed down by
the Supreme Court yesterday in the
case of Cosgriff Brothers. wealthy
sheepmen of Fort Steele. plaintiifs in
error VS.. l. c. Miller. president OF the
Rawlins National Bank, and the f'er-
ris- Haggarty Mining Company, also n
leading sheepman of Carbon county,
defendant in error; opinion by CHIEF
Justice Potter. Justices Corn and
Knight concurring.
Under the decision, when anyone
leases any area of railroad land he has
absolute control of the alternate gov
ernment sections, or of double the area
for which he pays. Then, too, nomadic
herds cannot be driven across the
lands. The decision practically gives
to the sheepmen who have leased the
railroad lands in the Red Desert coun-
try absolute control of the entire des-
ert.
The matter will be taken TO the Unii-
ed States Supreme Court. for 1t is held
to be of rational importance.
Cosgriff Brothers, with others, have
been for many years grazing their
sheep on the public lands forming the
alternate sections with the railroad
lands owned by the Union Pacific
This Is permitted by the laws of the
United States. Miller leased from the
Union Pacific large tract of railroad
lands in the vicinity of Fort Steele.
Ieis land was not fenced
During the winter of 1898 Cosgrff
Brothers permitted their flocks of
sheep to Craze upon the unfenced lands
of Mr.. Miller. and the suit for trespass
was Instituted by Miller and a judg-
ment for $4,000 damages awarded by
the District Court at Rawlins. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court
affirms the judgment of the lower court
as to damages. and in effect holds that
the grazing OF sheep on the unfenced
land of another, although such land is
not marked as to boundary. coasti-
gives notice of said ownership and
such notice need not be definite as to
boundaries If the owner of the sheep
has knowledge of the fact that such
lands are owned by TIE plaintiff and
has general idea of their location.
Although the decision does not pass
upon the question of risht-of-way over
leased railroad lands, it Is thought that
1t will have the effect to exclude tres
passing to any extent upon leased, un-
fenced railroad lands: that is. person
leasing railroad land acquires, in eff
feet, absolute control to all the alter
nate government sections.

RECIPROCITY BILL REPORTED.
Reduction of Twenty Per Cent. on
Sugar Imported From Cuba.

Washington, April L. Chairman
Payne yesterday presented TO the
House the report of the ways and
means committee on the Cuban reel
procity bill. which the committee had
ordered reported earlier in the day.
After reciting President Roosevelts
recommendation in behalf of Cuba,
Mr.. Payne says:
"Our relations to Cuba are peculiar.
In our declaration of war with Spain,
and ever since, we have solemnly pro-
claimed to the world that our object
was 20 give Cuba a stable and indie
pendent government
The report adds that we are bound
to care for our own people, but after
reviewing the American sugar situa-
tion, says:
1T can work no injury TO our indus
try If we make this small reduction in
Cuban sugars. The enactment of this
bill will not affect the protection of the
sugar producers of the United States.
There is no reasonable pretense that
the same reduction on other Cuban
products will injure any other Ameri-
can industry"
The report asserts that the planters
and not the refiners will receive the
benefits of the reduction. and adds:
Cuba does not come simply as n
mendicant, nor should she be treated
as such. She offers n good trade i'll re-
turn. This she is willing to concede.
Under the provisions of the bill, we
should be able 10 double the amount of
our export trade with Cuba. which
amounts to S2S.OO0000 more than we
obtained in the last fiscal year"
In conclusion, the report says:
at is happy circumstance that,
without any injury to our own indus
.ries. and without the loss of anything
except seven or eight million dollars of
revenue, which we do not need, we are
able to extend this relief to Cuba and
at the same time get reciprocal trade
relations with her"

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Nogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Voeeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sicltly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. 1t is the besi
of all medicines. because it is made from thd

n million dollars more. Business blocks
and residences bring up the total well
toward $5,O0O000.
All of this money-all of this SOL
0O0, ,0OO-is money not now in circula-
ton in Colorado. a largt part of it
will come from the East in exchange
for stocks and bonds and other securi-
ties. From the East will come the
money for the library, and for the pub
lie improvements. And what money
does not come from the East will come
out of vaults. 1t is money which Colo
RADIO people have been holding until
the time seemed ripe for investment,
and which they are now going to put
in circulation.
1t was proved again and again by
political economists in the currency
discussions of few years ago that an
increase of SO per capita i'll the circu-
lating medium meant great prosperity
and business activity. But here is an
increase of $15 per capita. 1t does
not take much of a political economist
to see what this means for the pros
perity and development of the state in
the next few years.
Following is an estimate OF the
amounts likely to be expended soon:

in the garrisons. but lighter delicacies
are often lacking, and these. together
with letters, are carried round t.. dogs
