COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Halt Holiday Law.

According to an opinion given by
Attorney General Miller, Denver is
the only city in the state where mer-
chants and other employers are re-
quired by law to give half holiday
on Saturdays. The attorney general
says: -.s 1e.

eral Assembly making Saturday after
noon legal holiday l beg to advise
you that the bill referred to is Senate
Bill No. 49, entitled An act in rela-
tion to holidays and is simply re-
enactment of general statute, section
1880, M. A. s., 2127, which was re-
pealed by session laws of 1897, page
PAS, with the addition of Lincoln s
birthday as a holiday. This left us
without any law upon this subject.
The Saturday afternoon holiday to
which you refer can be found in ses-
sion laws of 1898, at page 2S7, M
A. s., section 2127a, and applies only
to cities having a population of 100000

State Land Leases.

Upon advice of Attorney General
Miller the State Land Board at a
meeting held June 10th, passed an i'm
portant order readjusting the fees of
the land Office. The new schedule,
which goes into immediate effect, es-
tablishes a fee Of 81 for every lease
of 160 acres, so cents for each addi-
tional 160 acres or fraction thereof,
under the same lease, and 25 cents for
filing each application and other pa
pers.
The board also adopted the United
States land office rule requiring a pat
ent for every 100 acres or fraction
thereof, the fee' being 80. Heretofore
1t was possible to put any number of
sections in one patent The new scale
is calculated to largely increase the
revenues Of the. land office.

viii Continue Cattle inspection.

The Colorado State Board of Live
Stock Inspection Commissioners wilt
continue to inspect all cattle shipped
from, through or into the state. for
mango and itch, and will charge the
fees allowed for the work. This an
nouncement was made at the office of
the commissioners yesterday, says the
Denver Republican of June 9Th.
Under a federal law passed at the
last session of Congress the govern
ment provided for the interstate in
spection of live stock and abolishes the
levying of fees by the state live stock
sanitary boards. The Colorado COM
missioners give as reason for their
statement that the government at this
time is only inspecting for Texas fever
and not for itch or mango, and conse-
quently is giving no clean bill Of health
as regards these two diseases.
The board has been informed that
because of an epidemic of the foot and
mouth disease among New England
cattle. the Bureau of Animal Industry
has been forced to throw most of its
inspectors into that territory d. E.
Salmon, the chief of the bureau, says
that in few weeks he will be able to
place all the inspectors needed in the
West. and will then be able to give at
tention to the other diseases The state
commissioners say that they will honor
all clean bills of health from federal
inspectors when the disease for which
the inspection is made is mentioned.
A member Of the board said yester-
day that the regulations of the state
board were not stringent at the pres
ent time. but that beginning with Sep
tember some ironclad rules would be
made and strictly enforced. One of the
rules contemplated is that requiring
all the cattle in the state to be dipped
at the same time
A request for this rule has been
made by several minor cattlemen's as
socfations which have the interests of
the business at heart. 1t is claimed
that when the dipping is done when it
SUITS the owner, 1t is not as effective
as it should be. for the reason that the
cS-ie SO treated are likely to wander
among infected cattle again and de-
stroy the effect. f-
1t is the idea of the board to fix
certain time of the year when all cat
tie shall be dipped probably between
October 18th and November 18th, when
the fall round-ups occur and the cattle
are all together. Most of the stock
raisers are heartily in favor of the idea
and want it made regulation SO that
it can be enforced all around.

Edith Belongs in New Mexico.

Under act of the Legislature ap-
proved by then Governor Orman,
April IL, 1901, Charles A. Johnson on
April goth was appointed a comis-
sioner to re-survey the boundary line
between Colorado and New Mexico, or
that portion lying between astronomi-
cal monuments 6 and s.
The re-survey was to be made in
conjunction with commissioners from
the United States government and
that of New Mexico, but these latter
neglecting to make appointments, Mr.
Johnson proceeded on behalf of Colo.
rado, and has filed his report with the
secretary of state
According to Johnson's report there
is discrepancy of several hundred
feet between his survey and the orig
inal made by Elihu Darling in 1858,
Darling's line running south of that
run by johnson on the line of the
thirty-seventh parallel. A government
survey which has been started shows
the same discrepancies as far as it has
proceeded, and if the boundary line as
run should be accepted, the town of
Edith and numerous sections of land
now in Colorado will in the future be
in the territory of New Mexico.
Monument 6, from which Johnson
started his survey, is about one mile
east of the town of Osier, station on
the Denver & Rio Grande. He found
numerous mile posts missing, which
he replaced as far as possible in their
old positions. Between mile posts 2O9
and 214 he found discrepancy of q
S65 feet to the north, and between 1856
and 201 he found jog of 726 feet to
the north.

viii Sue Railroads for Taxes.

Attorney General N. G. Miller is pre-
pairing to bring suit against six of the
leading railroad companies of the
state, with view toward forcing them
to pay the fiat tax long due. This tax
was due May 1st, and as it has not
been paid. twenty per cent. additional
is to be added as a penalty. The fiat
tax is levied at the rate of 4 cents
for every $1,000 of capital stock for
foreign corporations and cents a
thousand on domestic companies. In
addition to the railroads, three years
fiat tax is due from the American
Smelling and Refining Company,
amounting to $4,000.
The defendant companies in the
cases under preparation and their cap
italiZation are as follows:
