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-
tiOn. 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-
tion 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 rler-
chants.
Saying nothing of the immense an
nual addition to the money in circuIa-
ton which will come from the opening
of beet sugar factories In the north
ern part Of the state, there Is more
than $4,OOO,OOO now being spent, or
which will be spent, in building and
equipping the factories. Hundreds
Of laborers are employed at 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 To
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 $40 which have
hitherto gone east with beef, or gone
east for beef, will stay here in Colo
RADIO, or will come to Colorado from
neighboring states and stay here.
Denver will start within few
months on the new library building
500, 900 for Colorado brickmakers and
ironworkers, stonecutters, builders and
architects. Hotels and apartment
houses are being built or are soon to
be begun which will cost more than

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, plaintiffs in
error, vs. 1. @. Miller. president Of the
Rawiins National Bank, and the Fer
ris-Haggarty Mining Company, also
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 Unit
ed States Supreme Court, for 1t is held
to be OF national 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.
This land was not fenced.
During the winter of 1895 Cosgriff
Brothers permitted their fiocks 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 $1,000 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
MS to damages. and in effect holds that
the grazing of sheep on the unfenced
land OF another, although such land IL
not marked as to boundary. consti-
tutes trespass II the owner Of the land
gives notice OF said ownership, and
such notice need not be definite as to
boundaries. II 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 right-Of-way over
leased railroad lands, II is thought that
1t will have the effect to exclude tres
passing to dny extent upon leased. un-
fenced railroad lands: that Is, n person
leasing railroad land acquires, In ef-
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 reci-
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 TO give Cuba 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 a
mendicant nor should she be treated
as such. She offers a good trade in re-
turn. This she is willing to concede.
Under the provisions of the bill, we
should be able TO double the amount Of
our export trade with Cuba, which
amounts to $4,000, 900 more than we
oh In ba In fiscal yaarn
In conclusion, the report says:
''It is happy circumstance that,
without any injury to our own indus
tries, 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
ut the same time get reciprocal trade
relations with her."

Report Of Range Battle In
Wyoming.

Denver, March 3O.-A Republican
special from Rock Springs says:
Meager details OF battle on the
range in the upper Green river coun-
try between cattlemen and sheepmen
were received here last night.
Roam and Abe Hill, sheepmen, were
seriously wounded, but were not dead
when the courier came out Eleven
hundred Of their sheep were clubbed
and shot to death. The Hill brothers
shot two cattlemen, whose names have
not been learned, but they were not
fatally wounded.
Another report says several sheep
herders were severely beaten, and a
large number of sheep killed, but no
person was shot or fatally hurt.
Reliable information is hard to OBJ
tain, for the telephone line to Big
Piney is still down.
The fight occurred yesterday on the
range south and east of Big Piney,
near the border ling of Uintah and
Fremont counties, not far from the
Green river. Only meager details have
been received, although trouble has
been expected for sine time. The
cattlemen have been fighting the inva-
sion Of the sheep, knowing that the
encroachments of the latter meant the
destruction Of the range. They drew a
dead line near Big Piney and served
notice on all sheepmen that If this line
was crossed there would be war. De-
spite this notice bands of sheep have
been working their way up into the
disputed territory, and the situation
has become strained. The sheep have
come from southern Wyoming, Utah
and Idaho. Several bands have been
coming up into this section recently,
and the cattlemen determined to make
an issue Of the matter. 1t is known
that they have organized for the pur-
pose, but until another messenger re-
turns from the scene further details Of
the fighting will not be known.

toward $5,OOO,OOO.
All of this money-all of this $751;
OOO,OOO-is money not now In circula-
ton In Colorado. A largt part Of 1t
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 $40 per capita in the circu-
Iating medium meant great prosperity
and business activity. But here is an
increase of $75 per capita. 1t does
not take much Of political economist
to see what this means for the pros
perity and development of the state in
the next few years.

CONTROL OF WATER
SAYS IT SHOULD BE NATIONAL
President Thus Expresses Himself to
Western MembersNThinks Federal
Control Essential to Succecs-sena-
tor Hansbroush's Opinion.


Washington, Mach 31.-President
Roosevelt, in conference with Sena-
tor Hansbrough, Representatives Met
calf of California, Moody Of Oregon
and Reeder of Kansas, Saturday ex-
pressed strong opposition to the feature
of the general irrigation bill now pend
ing in the House providing for state
control of the appropriation, dIstribu-
tion and use Of water from irrigation
works to be constructed under the pro-
visions Of the proposed law. The Pres
ident stated that he believed federah
control should govern entirely and that
federal supervision will be essential
to the success of national aid to irriga-
ton.
Senator Hansbrough told the Presi-
dent that he was originally opposed to
state control, but after hearing full
discussion of the question in the meet
ings held by western members when
the bill was framed, he came to the
conclusion that it was proper pro-
vision. He was satisfied that local con-
troll would prevail even if the section
in question were stricken from the bill,
because Congress had giver assent to
constitutional provisions granting state
control of waters when the states
gress cannot take out of the constitu-
ton what it put in it, therefore fed
eral control of waters cannot be as
sumed by act of Congress.
Speaking of the conference Represen-
tative Mondell, who has charge Of the
bill In the House, said:
''There is not provision in the Sec
ton Of the bill which provided for
state control of waters that was not
suggested by the Presidents message.
That portion of the section which d.
rects the Secretary of the Interior to
proceed under state laws is in har-
mony with the Presidents views as
expressed in his message, and is abso-
lutely necessary, for without this pro-
vision the Secretary of the Interior
would be powerless to act, inasmuch
as there are no federal irrigation laws.
If this section were struck out, 1t
would leave the bill imperative. The
opposition to it comes from those who
wish TO natiOnalize irrigation. and en-
tirely change the character of the leg
islation proposed and agreed upon by
western members. If the measure
passes the House it will be with the
provision for state control included"

Injunction proceedings to prevent

state commerce commission against
the following roads, through the
United States court at Denver: The
Union Pacific, the Denver & Rio
Grande, the Colorado & Southern, the
Denver & Southwestern, the Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek District. the
Colorado Midland. The application for
an enjoining order will be the precur-
sor, 1t is said. of similar actions In the
federal courts against the Southern Pa
cific. the Oregon Short Line, the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, and
several other railroads.
Railroad men returning from Chi
cago say that it is believed there that
the next move Of Attorney Day Of the
interstate commerce commission will
be against the Colorado roads. 1t is
said information has been obtained by
the commission that roads In this
state are giving rebates and otherwise

SEVEN LAKES WATER.
Colorado Springs Wants Part Of
Forest Reserve.

Denver, March 31-The News Wash
1ngton correspondent says that Con-
gresham Bells bill providing for the
sale of 1000 acres of the Pixies Peak
forest reserve to the city Of Colorado
Springs has been referred to the Sec
retary Of the interior for hsi opinion.
The object of this bill is to put the city
in possession of the land surrounding
its water system at Geven Lakes.
The report has reae he'd Washington
that the citizens of Cripple Creek are
inclined to oppose this bill as endanger-
ing their water supply. The water
used by Cripple Greek also comes from
the Seven Lakes region and it is be-
lieved by some that Colorado Springs
intends to take charge of the entire
possible into the Colorado Springs sys-
TEN.
Representative Bell said that he be-
lieved the fears of the people Of Grip
pie Creek and the region were un-
founded.
''The City Of Colorado Springs" said
he, merely wishes to get title to lands
surrounding Seven Lakes in order that
it may feel more secure in erecting ad
ditional water cOntriyances such as
dams and reservoirs. Without any
doubt the secretary of the interior
would allow the Colorado Springs peo-
pie to erect these improvements even
If the land was not sold to them, and
the citizens of Victor and Cripple Greek
would be also allowed the same privi-
lege. AS a matter of fact, the source
of the water supply of the latter region
Is in the possession of the Springs peO-
pie and will probably continue to be
so unless the Cripple Greek and Victor
people provide water source for
themselves. / do not believe it is the
intention of Colorado Springs to at
tempt to usurp any powers. but merely
to improve the system it has at pres

Murderer Of Sheriff Kicker Hanged by
a Mob at Casper.

Denver, March 29.-A News special
of last night from CASPER, Wyoming,
says:
At 1915 o'clock this Good Friday
morning Charles Woodard was taken
from his cell by twenty-eight masked
men and hanged on the scaffold erect
ed for his legal execution. Affixed to
his shirt, the only garment lie wore
during the execution, was the follow
ing:
Process of law is little slow, so
this is the way you'll have to 60. Muir
derers and thieves, beware!
(Signed) peoples Verdict"
The men overpOwered Sheriff Tubbs,
secured the keys and led the condemn
ed murderer from his cell with as little
ceremony as possible. At midnight
there came a loud rap at the sheriff's
door, and twenty-eight determined men
demanded the keys of the jail. On re-
fusing the demand Sheriff Tubbs was
Immediately secured and bound and
his keys removed.
After this there was no resistance to
the lynchers. They soon shackled the
prisoner and led him to the scaffold
erected in the Jail yard, on which
Woodland was to have been hanged to-
day, but for the Intervention Of res
pite granted by the Supreme Court.
Woodard was given no opportunity to
make his promised statement on the
g9llows, and no attention was paid to
request that he be given time to
pray. While appealing to his execu-
TONERS to make the moose on his neck
a little looser he was picked up bodily
and thrown over the side of the gal
lows platform. The drop was but
slight and the victim struggled des-
perately for several minutes before
death came. The coroner's verdict de-
clared that Woodard was lynched by
unkonwn parties.
