now explained by the announcement
that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.,
has made arrangements with the
state whereby the water from the
Roaring Fork, which is not needed
for agricultural purposes, is to turn
ed into the Arkansas river by way Of
the Twin Lakes.
There is large quantity of water
in the Roaring Fork of the Grand,
which Is to be taken beneath the
range by a tunnel under Independ-
ence pass, or in that vicinity. It
will then 20 down the creek ON the
east side of the mountains and be
turned into the Arkansas river and
then taken out above Canon City
and thence carried by ditch u their
works at Minnequa and Bsssemer.
This is a gigantic undertaking and
will mean the expenditure of an i'm
mense amount of money. The mat
ter has been pending for over . year
but il was not until recently that the
survey was made.-Florence Citizen.

Tho "YeIIwos" In clover

The Missouri river floods have made
rare sport for the "yellow" journals,
and they have taken every opPort-
unity offered for e.aggeration, dis
tortion and lying.
The New York "yellows" printed
four irch head lines telling how pest
Hence threatened the flood survivors.
In large boxes with splashes of red
ink were stories of fire starting in
dynamite store houses which threat
ened to destroy Kansas City at one
fell swoop. Other stories were prin-
ted showing that thousands of peo-
pie wei g starving and begging in vain
for food, while there was said not
to be loaf of bread or a steak in
Kansas City. The suffering of these
starving thousands was described as
being appalling"
None of these stories had more
than the slightest basis in truth.
OF the thousands Of people who
daily read such papers as the New
York Journal, the Chicago American
and the Rocky Mountain News, it
would be interesting to know how
large a proportion of them really be-
lieve that they are getting the news.
Certainly only the most ignorant
class of their readers can be duped
to this extent. Most of them read
read these unreliable papers for the
same reason that boys read dime
novels. It is the craving for sensa-
tionslism and not the desire for news
that supports their circulation offices.
Sooner or later there is bound to
come q great campaign of education
against the "yellow" journals; indeed
there are signs that the campaign
has already started. That some
thing worth while will be accomplish
ed as the result cannot be doubted.
Whatever is accomplished to lessen
their influence will be of great bone
fit to the entire country.-State Jour
nal.

Law authorities Of the interior de-
partment who have been consulted
about the recent proposition of the
state Of Colorado, to relinquish to
the government 100000 acres Of
state timber land, in exchange for an
equal area of agricultural govern
ment land, IN order that the govern
ment may protect the forests and
water supply, all express doubt OF
the authority of tho secretary to
make such exchange except by spec
ial act of congress. No law now on
the statute books authorizes such
exchanges, but the land officials are
anxious to comply with Colorado's re-
quest.
The interior department believes
It would be good policy in all of the
arid land states to relinquish to the
government state timber lands that
are 90 situated as to afford protec'
tion to the water supply, and totake
in exchange therefor agricultural
lands of equal area. The govern
ment can throw around the timber
lands protection that the states can

and there are many others whose earn
ings run like these. some better and
some not 20 good.
As far as the results Of sugarbeets
are concerned, I wish to say that they
show q wonderful increased in quality
a. we'll Is quantity during the past
three years. In 1900 from 1880
acres harvested, 41,656 tons Of beets
were shipped to the factory; in the
season Of 1901 the acreage harvested
vas mora than double that of 1900,
amounting to 9,668 acres with
yield Of 93,851 tons. The season
Just past the total harvested ACREAGE
was 10,848 acres, yielding q total
tonnage of 113,361 tons.
In the face Of these results, and
with the future in store for the Ark
snsas valley. which is rapidly becom-
ing one Of the most fertile sgricult-
ural sections of the United States,
the report of s. Nugent Townsend to
the London "Field" after his trip in
1875 through Kansas and Colorado
with . number of European journal
lists needs certainly some modifca-
ton.
This eminent gentleman stated
the conditions as follows:
"Ksnsas is ugly but good; Colora-
do is handsome but good for moth
ing"
We're he to soc our state now, and
visit the same sections, he would be
sure to say:
"Ksnsss is ugly but good; Colorado
is handsome and fourishing."

delegation next session offers bill
granting the authority for the pro
posed exchange, the interior depart
ment will strongly urge its passage.
Even a general bill! authorizing such
exchanges in all arid land states
would be Endorsed.
The interior department has never
received a formal proposition of ex,
change from Colorado, and will not
render decision ss to the power OF
the secretary prior to its receipt. An
exchange simular to that proposed in
Colorado was authorized in Wyom-
ing by special act of congress sever
al years ago.-Denver Republican.

PREPARING FOR THE FOURTH.

PREPARING FOR THE FOURTH.
The various committees appointed
to look after the details Of the
Fourth of July celebration are work
ing like beavers. They are deter
mined to make it one of the best
celebrations in the state. They are
going to make such good time for
the people who come here on the
Fourth that they will return home
happy and content, satisfied that
Holly always does just what she
starts out to do.
The finance committee has been
hustling hard this week and the sue
cess which it has met with is most
gratifying. Ample funds are pro-
vided to allow liberal prizes and to
afford a most magnificent celebra-
tion without stinting in anything.
The people of neighboring towns
are cordially invited to come and
participate in the days amusements.

Progress Of Agriculture.

Extract from address Of ". <. Wintsrhsltsr
az Real Estate Conventional
Land which was offered at $25 to
$75 per aero in 1899 cannot be
bought today for less than $50 to
$3.50 per acre; water rights In ditch
es with early priorities command .
price Of from 500 to $1,000 per
cubic foot per second, and . cubic
foot per second if running constant
ly for 12i hours will cover one acre
of land IL inches deep in that time.
The prices Of farm crops have in
creased from one fourth to one-half
and more. Alfalfa hay, which could
be bought for $3.50 to $3.50 ton
three years ago, was sold the last
two years at 81. SO to $3.50 per ton
in the stack; cantaloupes and melons
haYe brought as high as $3.50 per
acre net. Sugar beets have given
returns from $40 to $160 per acre,
ahd similar returns were attained
from other crops in conformity with
their market value.
The cattle industry-especislly
the feeding of cattle and sheep
has given excellent returns to those
who have stayed with it. Tho by
products of the sugar beet industry
such as beet tops, beet pulp, molsss
es, and even the sugar beets them
selves, if used moderately, have pro-
duced beef and mutton of q quality
as has never been known on the
market before.
The application Of stable manure
and green fertilizer will keep the
land in condition to bear profitable
crops year after year. The dairy in
dustry is gradually coming to the
front and the introduction of milch
COWS on the small farm will furnish
steady income to the farmer, and
at the same time decrease his living
expenses in town trade.
In order to better understand this
rapid change of conditions, and to
be able to appreciate the benefits
derived from the introduction Of the
beet sugar industry, I will quote .
few returns of the most profitable
crops OF the Arkansas valley.

ers' association Of Rocky Ford, Mr..

WILL VOTE ON INCORPORATING.
The citizens meeting Wednesday
night, which was called for the pur-
pose of taking preliminary steps
toward incorporating Holly, was pre-
sided over by s. F. White, the chair
man. Mr.. White made a talk e1-
planning the situation and present
ing the plat which had been prepar
ed by John Duncan.
VIM. Gill moved that the plat be
adopted which was seconded by P.
w. Petersen. The motion carried
almost unanimously.
The petition was then read by the
chairman who requested those pres
ept to sign it. Forty-four electors
signed the petition after which the
meeting adjourned.
The petition will be presented i'm
mediately to the county Judge who
will appoint five commissioners from
among the petitioners whose duty it
will be to call an election, by publ
cation for three weeks, for the pur.
pose of voting upon the question of
incorporating. These commission
ers will act as judges Of election and
if majority vote for incorporation
then it will be their duty to immedi'
stely call another election for the
election of officers.

Kansas-coiorado- Water Suit.
The latest information concerning
the Colorado Kansas water suit indi-
Gates that the case will come before
q commissioner appointed by the Su-
preme court to take the evidence,
some time next fall, possibly early
in November.
The Kansas authorities seem to
have lost interest in the case which
promised to hang on indefinitely,
clouding the water rights of the Ar
kansas valley property owners with
uncertainty, and therefore affecting
land values and the general prosper
ity of the valley. The Colorado au-
thorities have, however, succeeded in
bringing the preliminary negotia-
tions to a conclusion and it is prac-
tically certain that decision will be
reached by the Supreme court before
the close of the year.-Colo. Springs
