GOVERNMENT EXPERTS
INTERESTED IN COL ORADO
Messrs Newell and Pnchot Listened with Marked Aten-
ton to Colorado Citizens on Desert Land
and Forest Reserve Issues

The meeting of Messrs. Newell and
Pinchot, the commission of Presi
dent Roosevelt, with the delegates
from different parts of the state, to
discuss the vari Gus features of the sub
jects, relating to forest reserves, des-
ert land and committed homestead
laws and kindred topics, was held Fri
day the 22nd in the Chamber of Com
MERGE building at Denver and was
we'll attended
The session which had for chair
man Hon. Conrad Shaefer of Morg an
county listened to the speeches of
Messrs. Adams of Routt county and
Clark of Rio Blanco county Mr.
Clark explained that the extension of
forest reserves, their inclusion of ag-
ricultural land without timber, and
the withdrawal of large areas of pub
lie lands as ordered by the sensational
eleven hundred word telegram by the
general land Office to the district land
Office in Glenwood Springs, were not
in the line of beneficial policy towards
the actual settlers. who under the des.
ert land and similar laws had been
enabled to- reclaim agricultural
ground, and by cultivating and home
making had added ii considerable in.
grease in values for themselves and
the counties wherein they located,
thus properly complying with the law
and deriving material benefit from its
intentions. He also called attention
to the large areas of purely agricul-
tural land now included in the Bat
Element forest and other timber re-
serves and in general impressed the
commissioners very much with the
desiderata of the different affected
districts
Theodore Rosenberg followed with
an addenda to Mr.. Clark speech and
presented at the hand of tabulated
statements facts which showed from
actual records of the land Office and
the assessor Office of Garfield county
that the desert land act had added
to the county's wealth an assessed
value of over one half of one mil
lion dollars, while the actual price
of land Of the kiKa under discussion
had risen to twice that amount
He showed by the tabulation.. that
Garfield county had l01 patented des-
ert claims with l4.513 acres and S3
claims filed with l2, $50 acres or an
average of l43, respectively l46 acres
to each patentee or claimant, proving
that such average area to each settler
was below the half of the maximum
area allowed to each claimant which
also tended to disprove the charge
made by certain antagonistic elements
that the desert land law was condu-
Give to cooperative speculation and
fraudulent practice, in Garfield coun-
ty at any rate. He also stated that
by actual survey and reconnaissance
there was an area of sixty square
miles of purely agricultural land in
cluded in the Battlement forest re-
serve, south of townships south,
ranges 81. 90 and 93 west.
Senator Taylor in an impressive
address expressed his convi ction that
the desert and committed homestead
