they marched through the district, amid
the shouts aid applause OF the people.
who lined the streets, stoops and win
dows. Devery carried his hat in his hand
and bowed to the people continually. The
parade lasted half an hour, for it was
frequently interrupted by groups of men,
women and children who broke thrugh
the crowds to shake hands with Devery.

SUPREME COURT

Denver. Dec. All preparations
have been made for testing the Rush
home rule amendment. The Supreme
cour, yesterday decided to take origi-
nal Jurisdiction OF tho sui, brought by
County Treasurer c. s. Elder against
City Treasurer sours.
According to the order Of the court.
tho procedure In testing the Rush hill
will be as follows. tho respondents hav-
ing waived the issuance of the ai,crna-
tive writ OF mandamus:
December i5-Rcspondcnt flc an

December Jo-Pc,itioncr to file an
swer.
January 6-Rcspondcnt to file final
reply.
January io-orai arguments to be
made.
January i5-Opinion handed down.
Progress may be more rapid than
outlined. The order above is made
from the extreme time limit placed for
the moves on the checker board. For
ing brief ION or before December .--a."
and the petitioner is to file answer ''on
or before December 50th." or ten days
after service of copy" and the re-
spondent is to reply within seven days
after service"
Chief Justice Campbell made the an
nouncement that the Supreme Court
would take original Jurisdiction at II
o'clock yesterday morning. Ali the at
torncys interested in the proceeding
were present
Since the burden of proof rests on
the opponents of the Rush bill. they
were given the opening and closing by
order OF the court. Harper NJ Ora
hood, attorney for City Treasurer
sours. announced that he and Attorney
Charles J. Hughes. Jr.. would attack
the constitiiiionality of the Taylor
amendment of 1899. which will raise
the constitutionality of all six amend
ments submitted to the people at the
last election.
by the agreement the Montclair case
will be consolidated with the former.
and thus all questions will be incorpo-
rated in the test case. The Montclair
case is the proceeding to compel Judge
Lindsey to try the Thomas insane asy-
lum suit, and IL will necessitate the fl
ing of separate briefs. but the under
standing is that the arguments in the
two suits will be practically consoli-
dated.
The court instructed the attorneys TO
permit every lawyer with real con-
troversy and interest at stake to par
ticipate in the arguments. but advised
against the admission of lawyers who
might simply desire TO speak.
A summons served yesterday by
Chief of Police Armstrong. as sheriff
of the new city and county of Denver.
and signed by Chief Justice Campbell.
indicates that the Supreme Court rec
ognizes the necessary rule OF consider
ing the amendment valid at present.

COLORADO LAND BOARD WOULD
HAVE ARID LANDS RECLAIMED

Denver. Dec. 9.-Reg!ster Joyce Of
the Land Board makes three very i'm
portant recommendations In his report
to the governor. They are for sys-
TEN OF reclamation OF arid lands be-
longing to the state like that under
the federal reclamation law. with state
aid: a nOn-partisan Land Board. elect
ed by the people. and the adoption OF
the leasing system on school lands.
The report shows the total area pat
ented to date to be 4.232 1899. AZ acres;
area sold. A90. .l12. .sS: unsold. 3.742. .S26. :
81: under lease. 1874. 4.954.5 81; Unbiased.
! 1857 SOL 81: total increase of leased
lands. 533. .2o3.s4. The report says:
Outside OF the losses of sections 16
and SO. on which settlements had been
allowed by the General Land Office. the
state has acquired title to school sec
tions amounting TO 2.S32. .709.74 acres.
and there has been patented to the
state as school indemnity selections,
G79. .S77 90 acres. making a total OF g.
5l2.5SG.9I. There are now pending Rt
Washington school indemnity selec-
tions amounting to about 100000 acres.
which. together with n few thousand
acres OF land left to select. when ap-
proved. make the total area OF school
lands 3.720.000 acres. In round numbers.
or the leasing system the report ad-
vocates that the maximum statutory
rental period be raised from ten to
fifty years. or even longer. with ten
year periods OF re-appraisement us to
value OF land and improvements to as
certain equitable rentals. also as to
lands belonging to the state which lie
within or adjacent to corporate limits
OF cities OF the first and second class.
that the maximum rental period be
fixed ut ninety-nine years.
MIR. Joyce advises against the pro-
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1902-12-12

miscuous sale of state lands in large
tracts. but does not believe the sale
of lands In small tracts for certain
purposes should be entirely prohibited.
He recommends law relative to the
sale of school lands preventing the
sale OF areas In excess Of lGO acres:
that no tract be ordered sold for other
than homestead purposes except
where the purchase is sought for re-
clamation Of arid lands or In the In
terests Of industries. The report de.
clares the laws relative to mineral
leases defective and suggests the es-
tablishment of mineral department
In connection with the land office and
the appointment of an appraiser.
Close observation for short time
last year resulted In the collection OF
over $4,000 in royalties. apparently
lost.
MIR. Joyce suggests better land
record system and improved laws reln-
tive to the classification Of lands, with
an appropriation devoted to the lat.
ter. He suggests that the funds nc
cruing from sales OF school lands
could be used to better advantage II
the land commissioners had voice
in their investment. Timber lands
have been sold to the amount of $l5.-
579.5o and the register advocates
amendment Of the law SO that the sale
OF timber be prohibited or the cutting
done under proper supervision.
The report recommends the organ
ization Of n state land board OF four
members. the superintendent Of pub.
lie instruction to be a member and
the other three to bc elected by the
people. one every two years. II sus-
sests that the salary OF the register
be raised to $4,000 n year and that
he be made the actual as well as the
nominal head Of the ofiice.
