1t is now understood that the city
park Is not to be beautified this sum-
mer but in some subsequent summer.
Piqued no doubt by the fact that the
people objected to growing wheat in
the park the dty fathers have decided
to summer fallow it this season and
wait till fall to decide on the kind Of
crop they will seed. Meanwhile the
sunfower with grow luxuriently and
the wild filiree will spread a green
sward over the parked area and for
another season the small boy can wan

tail his pleasure. The park is to be a
thing Of beauty and joy forever some
day but not just yet. Just now we are
studying land scape gardening and
waiting to get ready to commence.
This is wise no doubt as experience in
the past has shown that there is still
a question as to whether the trees are

Land Law Revision Report.

The commission appointed by the
President on October 22 1903. consist
ing of w. A. Richards, commissioner
of the general land office; Clifford Pin
chot. chief forester of the Department
OF Agriculture. and F. II. Newell. chief
engineer of the reclamation service. to
make suggestions regarding revision
of the laws relating to public lanads
has made to the President partial
report which was sent to Congress
to-day. 1t recommends the repeal OF
the timber and stone act and the sub
stitution of suitable provisions for SELL
ing. after appraisal. the timber on pub
lie lands that is needed in large or
small quantities for industrial purposes.
The committee also recommended the
repeal of the law permitting assign
ment of entries under the desert land
law, and urges the importance OF a
more careful administration of law. es
pecially 10 those provisions relating to
obtaining an adequate permanent wat
er supply. It advocates the restricting
of the Communication clause OF the
homestead entry, where such entries
are located within forest reserves or
where the land is chiefly valuable for
timber.
1t suggests the outlines for a law per-
hitting homestead entries upon agri-
cultural land within forest reserves and
the survey and description of such agri-
cultural lands by metes and bounds
rather than by the regular system, thus
permitting the agricultural lands to be
selected along the valleys and to en-
brace the good tillable land without
taking in extensive tracts of side hill
The recommendation also is made
that when lands are restored to entry
after temporary segregation ample
time should be allowed homesteaders
to exercise their rights. giving them
preference over persons who may wish
to select the land by the use Of scrip
or other form of entry.

DENVER BOULDER LINE.
An Electric Road Planned Between the
Two Cities.

Denver. March 13.-A Boulder special
10 the Republican yesterday says.
Henry V. johnson, former mayor of
Denver; Charles f. Porter. also OF
Denver, and John H. Simpson of
Cleveland were before the county COM
missioners to-day and asked for the
right to build an electric car line along
the wagon road from Boulder via
Louisville to the county line beyond
Broomfield.
They asked for franchise in the
names of L. l.. Aitken. John II. Simp-
son and Charles F. Potter. The con-
sent of about nine-tenths of the prop
erty holders along the proposed route
las been secured. and the promoters
feel that II the county commissioners
will consent all OF the farmers will
join in.
Many of the farmers along the pro-
posed route were present at the meet
ing and asked the commissioners to
gran. the franchise. In fact, the farm
ers seemed more anxious than the pro-
moters. County Commissioner Andrew
moved that the franchise be granted.
but Commissioners Gordon and Heri-
vel wanted until the first Monday in
April to consider the matter, and It
went over until that day.
ne promoters lntenu, II tney get
this franchise. to run an electric car
line along the county roads, along one
side of the roads so as not to interfere
with the middle of the road. and to
avoid using any farm land. This will
save them much money for a right Of
way.
The road is to be bui,t via Louisville
to Denver. At Louisville. near the coal
mines, an immense power plant is to
he erected. This will give them coal
cheap.
Connection is to be made in Boulder
with the street car system at Twelfth
street on University hill. and with the
Denver Tramway company somewhere
near the Jesuit College.
A few Denver capitalists are inter
ested, but the main capital is to be
furnished by Cleveland, Ohio. men. The
promoters claim they are In no way
connected with the Denver Tramway
Company except so far as making con-
nections with the company's lines in
Denver is concerned The franchise
asks for the use of the line for passen-
ger and freight purposes.
The company will be stocked at about

Washington. March 14.-Charles NJ.
Pepper. appointed by President Roose-
welt as a commissioner TO carry out the
recommendations of the second interna-
tonal American conference held. in
Mexico two years ago with regard 10
the Pan-American railway. has sub
mitted his report to the State Depart
ment. by which Il will be transmitted
to Congress. The second conference
created a permanent commission with
headquarters at Washington. OF which
II. ID. Davis is chairman and Andrew
Carnegie a member. The other mem
bers are the ambass ssador from Mexico
ard the ministers of Peru and Guate-
mala.
Commissioner Pepper spent a year In
visiting various countries and was aid
ed in His work by the United States
ministers. His inquiries covered the
general subject OF trade opportunities
that would result from railroad build
ing.
The report says that the general pro-
ject OF an inter-continental line which
ultimately will place New York and
Buenos Ayres in communication is re-
ceiving much encouragement. Al the
present time about $500 miles are lack
ing and the estimated cost of
construction is placed at $780,
100000, This is based on an
average Of 80 cents gold as a daily
wage for labor. with an efficiency of
seventy-five per cent. as compared with
similar labor In the United States.
In reviewing in detail the republics
visited, Commissioner Pepper discusses
the great progress in Mexico and the
actual railway work that Is still going
on. Only l72 miles are lacking to
reach the border of Guatemala. Refer
ence also is made to the inter-commerce
line from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pa
cific and IL is stated that within two
years two through trunk line systems
will have been completed President
Diaz is praised for the results which
have been had from his railway policy.
Regarding the Central American re-
publics. the commissioner says that
most OF them have national policies for
building lines to bring their Atlantic
and Pacific ports into communication
and these as feeders for the Pan-Amer-
lean route. He states that the demand
for supplies which will result from the
Panama canal construction will en-
courage railroad enterprises through
Central America. and he suggests the
probability of further facilities for
meeting the needs of International

Denver, March 13.-A dispatch from
Greeley last night says: From s1.4O
to s1.50 per bushel. the highest market
price OF the season, was paid by local
dealers for Greeley potatoes to-day.
Within the last week potatoes have
advanced 40 cents per hundred and the
conditions are such that prices may go
to 81 and $2.25 per hundred pounds in
short time. From the Greeley dis
trict. which includes Ault. Eaton and
Greeley. forty cars of potatoes are
leaving daily. Orders for sixty to sew
enty carloads are received daily. but
even II cars could be obtained the or
ders could not be filed as the farmer
takes his time hauling the potatoes to
market. He realizes the scarcity of
potatoes and the steady demand as
sures a rising market. By the first OF
May the bulk OF the crop will be dis
posed OF. and what remains will be
marketed in the state.
