Governor Peabody Takes Action.

Governor Peabody Takes Action.
After halting between two opinions
for over ten days. says the Denver Re
publican of July Bird. Governor Pea
body yesterday decided TO take the ad-
vice of attorneys. among whom. 1t 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 we'll as Mr.. Thatch-
er.
Both men were notified yesterday In
a written 3 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 a,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 1t 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
beard to oust him. He read the COM
mt 1ication 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. II
he says for me to answer it. will go.
Otherwise. III see his excellency,
James II. Peabody, in hell first!"

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 a year and a half ago
he loaned Surveyor General Handy
81 900 on third interest in the land.
As 1t 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-
mained until the sum was repaid. The
governor asserts that 1t was only a
matter of business between the bank
and Mr.. Handy. and that he had never
at any time had dollar in the land.

Land Board Praeeedinu..

The state land board at It's weekly
meeting July LIST. decided that in tile
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 1t wise to sell
land for less sum when in three or
four years Its value will be doubled.
The board sold two reservoir sites
in Weld county at $40 an acre and
two quarter sections of land adjoining
Steamboat Springs Forty acres in
Prowers county were sold to F.. ID. Ev-
eritt. who has lived on the land for
eight years.
The board ordered the sale OF 1000
feet of lumber in Boulder county, on
the ground that 1t 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
IL was Haue
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. 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 minimum price. Subse-
guently a report of the sale Is made,
and IL 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 q
mesa far above where 1t 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 on the land and at that
price the sale was subsequently made
All that the board did during Mrs.
Grenfells absence was to confirm this
sale, which she had previously voted
for. The price received was good
one, considering the fact hat the land
lies on u mesa far above the possibility
of irrigation. 1t could never have been
sold for that sum II 1t had not been
that the purchasers wanted to add II
tc the town Of Steamboat Springs.
