Roosevelt and the Statehood BlII
President Roosevelt has agail
reminded the leaders OF bis party
Of the obligations imposed on them
BY the platform declarations Of th'
last republican convention. II
this case his reminder relates Il
the admission Of the tsrritoriel
now seeking membership in the
Union. The president takes the
ground that the Republican party
cannot afford to ignore its pledges,
even If the admission Of the terri
tories should be favorable to the
democratic party. In this bis
sense Of duty as q statesman is
opposed to tho views Of some other
leaders. who are suayed solely BY
political sideratIons. IT is said
that Mr.. Roosevelt tavors the ad-
mission Of New Mexico and Ari-
sona as ono state. This course
would remove the principal objec-
tion that u made BY the opponents
Of separate admission, for Il would
give the new state 1 sufficient pop
ulation 70 justify membership. Il
would give the people Of those tor
ritories the advantages that conie
with statehood, would promote
the growth Of The new slate and
In the end would prepare the way |
for two states. II Il conceivable |
that separate statehood might be
brought about more speedily BY |
joint admission and subsequent
division than by waiting the sano-

ooVernor Feapooy uakee Action.
After halting between two opinions
for over ten days, says the Denver Re-
publican of July 3rd, Governor Pea
body yesterday decided to take the adj
vice of attorneys. among whom. it is
said, is Attorney General Miller, and
remove Captain George w. Thatcher
from the Board Of Worlds Fair Com
missioners, and to. put an end to the
strife which has ragged in that body
ever since Mr.. Peabody assumed his
seat in the gubernatorial chair.
Van E. Rouse, treasurer of the board,
has refused to issue checks for vough-
ers signed by the governor as president
of the board. and the governor says he
has done everything in his power to as
sist Captain Thatcher in his fight
against the powers that be. For this
reason the governor has decided to re-
move Mr.. Rouse, as well as Mr.. Thatch-
er.
Both men we're notified yesterday in
a written communication that they
must appear before him at 10 o'clock
Monday morning to show cause why
they should not be summarily re-
moved. 1t is said by those closest to
the governor that in giving the two
commissioners hearing he is but fol-
lowing out the requirements of the law.
and that whether they appear or not,
1t is his present intention to remove
them.
Although the legislative act which
created the board does not provide for
removals. they will be made under the
constitutional provision which gives
the governor of the state power to re-
move any officer for misconduct. incom-
potency or malfeasance. Captain
Thatcher is to be removed for. incom-
potency and Mr. Rouse for misconduct
in refusing to honor the governors sig
nature, and so delaying the work of the
board.
Captain Thatcher received his sum-
mons from the hands of Secretary
Wood, who handed it to him in the
Worlds Fair Board office. where, with
Miss Madigan. his stenographer and
sister-in-law, he is defying the gov
ernor and the other members of the
board to GUST him. He read the COM
munication and informed Mr.. Wood
that there was no answer.
Asked later if he would obey the
summons. he replied: Il have sent the
remarkable communication of the gov
ernor to my attorney, Mr.. Butler. If
he says for me to answer it. will go.
Otherwise. I'll see his excellency,
James H. Peabody. in hell first!"

The second annaur meeting Of the
County Judges Association Of the state
was held In the chambers Of President
Ben B. Lindsey at the court house in
Denver June 9th.
A resolution was adopted to obtain
through the Legislature the abolish
ment OF the fee system as applied at
present to the county courts and 1t was
decided to bring about legislative ac-
ton whereby all county Judges should
receive uniform salary regardless OF
what fees might be earned.
Because OF the greater jurisdiction
attaching to the county courts through
out the state 1t was decided that In
titure all county judges shall be re-
quired to have the same qualifications
as district judges. at least in counties
OF the first. second and third classes. At
present the statute provides that only
judges Of counties Of the nrst class
shall be required to be members OF
the bar in good standing.

COL ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY

One of the most unique duties that
ever devolved upon state officials is
that which has sent State Game Com
missioner Woodward and w. S. Kin
caid. superintendent of fish hatcheries
to Trappers lake in the western part OF
the state Report has been received
that the lake is crowded with trout
which assembled White river. and being
unable to find their way back into the
stream. they are dying from lack OF
food. 1t is the intention of these OIL
Gals to supply the fish with food or
else remove them to the river. where
they would soon find plenty to eat. 1t
Is doubtful If another case of this kind
was ever presented. and in this In
stance it shows the rapid increase of
fish in streams that have been stocked
with trout from the different hatch
cries in the statc.-Denver Republican
Governor Peabody emphatically de-
MES the report recently circulated that
he was interested in the tract of land
recently sold to the penitentiary COM
mission at Canon City. The governor
says that about year and half ago
he loaned Surveyor General Handy
81 900 on a third interest in the land.
AS it was covered by a mortgage, he
did not wish to take second mort
gage, and SO had Mr.. Handy execute
a warranty deed, which was placed in
the bank at Canon City in which the
governor is interested, and there re-
manned until the sum was repaid. The
governor asserts that it was only a
matter of business between the bank
and Mr.. Handy. and that he had never
at any time had a dollar in the land,
or ever paid a dollars worth of taxes
on It.

Land Board Proceedings.

The state land board, at its weekly
meeting July 1st, decided that In the
future no land should be sold for res
ervoir sites for less than $40 an acre.
In the past the land has rarely been
sold for over IS an 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 it wise to sell
land for a less sum when in three or
four years its value will be doubled.
Tho board sold two reservoir sites
in Weld county at $40 an acre and
two quarter sections of land adjeining
Steamboat Springs. Forty acres in
PrOwers county were sold to F. D. Ev-
eritt. who has lived on the land for
eight years.
The board ordered the sale of no. 900
feet of lumber in Boulder county. on
the ground that it had matured and
could not be of use much longer. and
refused to sell 1850 acres Of timber
land in Park county.
A lease of 100 acres of land in Pueblo
county, granted to Former Governor
James B. Orman some years ago, was
cancelled. The former governor had
never used the land, and thought that
the lease had been cancelled soon after
1t was made.
All members of the board deny the
report that advantage was taken OF
Mrs. Grenfells absence to sell the land
near Steamboat Springs. Attorney Cen
eral Miller. a member of the board, ex-
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 a minimum price. Subse-
quently report of the sale Is made,
and If 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 a
mesa far above where It is practicable
to irrigate anything. The board was
asked to sell 1t SO that 1t 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 $25 an acre
was placed OH the land and at that
price the sale was subsequently made.
All that the board did during Mrs.
Grenfell's absence was to confirm this
sale. which she had previously voted
for. The price received was a good
one, considering the fact hat the land
lies on mesa far above the possibility
of irrigation. 1t could never have been
sold for that sum IL 1t had not been
that the purchasers wanted to add 1t
to the town OF Steamboat Springs.
