COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
State Claims Pueblo Lands.

Twenty-Five acres of land, worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars. and
lying in one of the principal residence
section of Pueblo. Is claimed by the
Hard Land Company holds the prop
erty and is obtaining an enormous
revenue from it. The state land reg
lister claims that the company has no
title and will probably take the matter
into court.
Title to the property is claimed by
the land company under the laws of
accretion. 1t is asserted by the land
register and by l.. II. Smith. appraiser
in the state land office, that these
statutes do not apply because the land
was not formed by the river through
natural change in its course.
Discovery of the unusual case was
made as the result of complaint
from a man who lives in one of the
houses on the land. An effort was
made to eject him. He ascertained
that the land is the property of the
state and rent could not be collected
by the company. Then he notified the
state land Office of the situation.
Appraiser Smith obtained the facts
upon which the state will make de-
mand for possession. He has not yet
completed his investigations. The con-
ditions make the case one of the most
unusual in the history of the state and
one that is liable to cause a long legal
battle.
In 1887 the head of this land COM
pany. Mr.. Hard. obtained five acres
for which he secured a title in 1883.
AS described this plot included fve
acres, more or less, and was bounded
on the north by the then city limits
| and on the south by the Arkansas
river. This tract is now part Of the
holdings of the company.
A number of years later the state
built levee. which was extended by
the city. This changed the course Of
the river. 1t left the old bed high and
dry and virtually created more than
twenty-five acres of land. This land
was squatted upon and later was
taken possession of by the company
on the grounds that the river was the
south boundary of its holdings.
Now the company holds more than
twenty-five acres in addition to the
five acres originally purchased from
the state. and for which $1,000 was
paid twenty years ago. The land is
situated between Elizabeth and Fran
CISCO streets ana between the SANTA
Fe bridge and Greenwood streets. 1t
is cut up into town lots and most Of
it is occupied by houses.
Rentals of IS to SIS per month have
been collected on each of these lots.
Some of them are rented as ground
space while others have been i'm
proved by the company. In this man.
ner very large revenue has been OBJ
totr ff,r Inv,
part of school section. Another
| claim that is made on behalf of the
state is that it has the right to the
ground because it owned the river bed
which 1t was originally.
1t is held that the fact that the land
was created by artificial means gives
the state the sole claim. Under the
laws of accretion the adjoining proper
ty owners gain through the gradual
formation Of land through the actions
of river or stream.

RAILROADS AND WAGON ROADS.

The need that exists in this section of Alaska for adequate transportation facilities well exempi fled in an interview published in the last issue of this paper with MT. Walter II. Soderberg, of the Hot Air Mining Co.,. who is also extensive operator in Council City district. The cost of laying down sup plies especially in remote districts we'll ustrat ed. It was also shown that with reasonable trans portation rates, such would be afforded by rail- olds vast of placer ground could be worked at profit whereas under present conditions the profits win ch ought to accrue swallowed by the expense acc punt. There is not miner or mining man of the interior country who will combat the statement We need cheap transportation to the interior sections of Seward peninsula. Every miner and prospector needs it. The big operator needs it, and do the business and the laborng man. The greater the extent of country that is made to produce it's golden harvest the better will it be for all classes and conditions of men. This section of Alaska never be really prosperous until every portion of it is brought within easy reach of base of supplies In order bring this about, railroads and wagon roads build the railroads if given proper encouragement, but the government of the United States should struct the wagon roads and trails Given these the development and prosperity of Seward peninsula will be assured. But must help ourselves if we would be we'll helped. Five United States senators have gone record saying that the development of this country would be greatly accelerated with good sys- tenn of roads and trails. Let keep this fact before them and we may accomplish something.

THE ALASKAN AS A TRIMMER"

People who live for any length of time in Alaska are very apt to become what is known in parlance 'trimmers." That is to say they good deal like the man who crossing exceedingly shaky ice and he kept circulating: Good Lord! good devil" When he had reached place of safety he asked why he had alternately mplored the good and the evil one. He replied: Because l did not know into hose hands might fall"
 So it is, perhaps with many of the citizens of Alaska. In the turmols and troubles, official of course, which perenniay nfct Alaska, they do not know into whose hands they may fall. Therefore it is not to be wondered that many of them temporize They try to be frends" with each and every 'nter- test,' also official and in nine out of they fail miserably. No one need be afraid of being as- sassinated from an open, avowed enemy-at least without warning. If you know is your re. lentless enemy you "size him up,' and ascertain just how dangerous he is. But if every man whom you meet professes either friendship neutrality, you at loss to establish the direct relationship, (and this is also to be taken in official sense) be- tween him and yourself The man who constantly ''trms is always negative. His friendship is not to be relied and his hostility is not to be feared at least not very much
 An honest, outspoken, honorable enemy, and there such is not to be feared nearly so much as the negative person who IS constantly trimming ms sails to invite every passing breeze We confess that we have very little for the who constantly pray, Good Lord! good dev!' for in the final con- summation we belieW they will be rejected by both.
 The trimmer" Fslitical or otherwise, &C., complished anythng.H He never did things, either good or evil He stands for nothing in the eternal fitness of things but for abiding permanent selfish ness If there wrongs to be righted, evils to be eliminated, the trimmer takes no part How can he, since his time is wholly taken up in looking out for Number One? And rarely, be it understood, does his indeeisivene.s help himself, Of all places on earth, are inclined to think, the codest stamping ground for.the trimmer should be Alaska. The peo- pie have suffered much from neglect and indifference and it is gaing to think that Alaskans must suffer and endure without protest the wrongs misfortunes and misfts that have been thrust upon them. We have use for the trimmer" because do not think that trimming" pays, nor can it solace any citizen for putting his manhood and independence behind him for the sake of mere temporary gain. For what he may gain by such course will profit him nothing in the Hong run"

THE BRAWLING MUST CEASE.

In the last issue of this paper we sounded mote of warning" to contentious federal officials, and we expressed the hope that if they to continue to remain in Alaska they would at least conceal their differences and discharge their duties without fear or favor. We pointed out the fact that the material interests of this section of Alaska suffering be- cause of official brawls. The people are tired of them and if they continue, some drastic remedies should be applied We do not know that any real req son exists why federal officials should spend their time in happening each other at the expense of the vital interests of the people. We do not know why fed era official, of any degree, should be accorded any consideration than the upright. law abiding citizen. The official is not a whit better, nor is he entitled to any more consideration. In the past few years we have nothing but strife And who is to blame for it The people? Certainly not The country? No! Simply and plainly the men whom the government sends to Alaska and invests them with a little brief authority. Some of these as sume to think that they really something, when, AS matter of fact they are nothing They but tho servants of the people; but the first lesson they learn, after coming to Alaska, is to forget that impor tant fact.
 The unseemly official brawling of the past three gears will not be borne much longer mistake greatly the temper of the people who make up this COmmnlty, These DraWlS ana contentious, Tor the most part have been without cause They were Sounded upon confessed nangibilities, the work of prejudice spite, transformation and common, ord- nary everyday cussedness and purblindness, and presumably with feeling that Alaskans are not en- titled to any considerations and that they as we'll as their country, legitimate field for the venting of personal foibles, the indulgence of prejudces and the exploitation of original sin.
