Land Board Proceedings.

The state land board. Mt Its weekly
meeting July LIST. decided that In the
future no land should be sold for res
eryoir sites for less than $40 nm acre.
In tho past the land has rarely been
sold for over 81 nm acre. but the sites
are becoming more valuable every day.
as the interest In irrigation and the
storage OF water increases. and the
board does not believe II wise TO sell
lana for u less sum when In three or
four years Its value will he doubled.
The board sold two reservoir sites
In Weld county Mt $40 an acre and
two quarter sections OF land adjoinin.
Steamboat Springs. Forty acres In
Prowcrs county were sold to r. ID. Es-
critt. who has lived ON the land for
eight years.
The board ordered the sale OF 10000
feet Of lumber In Boulder county. on
the ground that II had maturcd and
could not be of use much longer. and
refused to sell $3.50 acres Of timber
land In Park county.
A lease OF iGo acres of land In Pueblo
county. granted to Former Governor
James Il. Orman some years ago. was
cancelled The former governor had
never used the land. and thought that
the lease had been cancelled soon after
II was made.
Al! members of the board deny the
report that advantage was taken OF
Mrs. Grenfcll's absence to sell the land
near Steamboat Springs. Attorney Cen
eral Miller. a member of the board. eN-
planned the action of the board by say
Ing that whenever state land Is SO sold.
the first act Of the board is to order
the sale at n minimum price. Subse-
nuently report of the sale IN made.
and II the board sees proper the sale Is
confirmed.
In this case the land involved was
two quarter sections adjacent TO the
town of Steamboat Springs. lying on
mesa far above where II Is practicable
to irrigate anything. The board was
asked to sell II SO that It might be
made an addition to the town. When
the order of sale was made Mrs. Gren-
fell WAS present and voted with the
other members in favor OF making the
sale. a minimum price OF s25 an acre
was placed on the land and at that
price the sale was subsequently made.
All that the board did during Mrs.
GrentelIs absence was to confirm this
sale. which she had previously voted
for The price received was n good
one. considering the fact hat the land
lies on mesa far above the possibility
of irrigation. II could never have been
sold for that sum If II had not been
that the purchasers wanted to add II
to tho town of Steamboat Springs.

10 Trappers lake In the western part OF
the state. Report has been received
that the lake is crowded with trout
which ascended White river. and being
unable 10 find their way back Into the
stream. they are dying from lack OF
food. II is the intention Of these OH
cials to supply the fish with food or
else remove them TO the river. where
they would soon find plenty TO eat. IL
ia doubtful II another case OF this Kind
was ever presented, and IN this ih-
stance IL shows the rapid increase OF
fish in streams that have been stocked
with trout from the different hatch
cries in the staie.-Denyer Republican.
Governor Peabody emphaiicaiiy de-
aies the report recently circulated that
he was interested In the tract Of land
recently sold tn the penitehtinry com
mission at Canon City. The governor
says that about year and half ago
he loaned Surveyor General Handy
81 900 ON n third interest In the land.
As II was covered by u mortgage. he
did not wish TO take second mort
gage. and 70 had Mr.. Handy execute
u warranty deed. which was placed In
the bank nj Canon City in which the
governor IL Interested. and there re-
mained until the sum was repaid. The
governor INSERTS that II was only
matter Of business between the bank

cision OF the Supreme Court. handed
down yesterday. the present Fire and
Police Board will continue TO hold Of
fee until its successors are elected or
appointed under the new charter nu-
thorized by the home rule amendment
to the Constitution. Three cases by
proceedings in quo warranto were
brought by the members OF the new
Fire and Police Board appointed by
Governor Peabody against the MEM
bers OF the present Fire and Police
Board to compel them to racate their
Offices. The court assumes original
Jurisdiction. The written opinion of
the court will be filed as soon as the
members of the court have time 10 pre-
pare II.
1T is claimed by the petitioner" said
Chief Justice Campbell. in delivering
his oral opinion. that he has the right
to office under the appointment OF the
governor under the statutes and char
ter of the city of Denver. The re-
spondents claim their right to Office be-
cause of the twentieth amendment to
the Constitution which provides for
the establishment of the city and

states that the present ordinance OF the

s'''''r o.slt. ~.

Lafayette, Nov. IA conference
was neld here yesterday between the

miner also argeed to reduce the wage
scale at the Haywood mine SO as to
conform to that paid at the Simpson
