GIVE THEN Big FARMS

There has been some little crit
cism of Congressman Brooks measure
allowing a homestead of $40 acres in
Eastern Colorado but why should
there be If Uncle Sam can work off
$40 acres on the unsuspecting settlers
in that barren section, so much the
better. If the settlers can stand it,
the government should not complain
But seriously. The land in question
is in section of the state where irri =.
CATION is out of the question except
as to small tracts which can be irri-
gated from wells About the only
crops that can be grown with any
degree of certainty are those drouth-
resisting forage crops which have lit
tie or no value unless fed to stock.
BY allowing settler $40 acres 1t
of cattle, as a part of his land can be
utilized for pasture and this is about
the only way person can make a
living in that section.
Those who have enjoyed life on the
fertile, irrigated lands of the Western
slope will not envy the short grass
farmers of Eastern Colorado with
their farms of section each for, taken
one year with another, our farmers will
realize more from an eighty acre
ranch than our eastern mel z hbors can
take off of their big tracts.

ONE OF THE most enthusiast

ONE OF THE most enthusiastic
advocates of state normal school for
Glenwood is County Clerk CardnelI,
who recited to the county board some
of the benefits to be derived from such
an institution. MI Cardnell saws he
has often seen such oppol tunities as
is now presented to Glenwood lost to
other towns by reason of the lack of
concerted public effort. He pro-
nounces Glen wood the ideal location
of the state for such an institution

THE COUNTY commissioners have
this week made some appointments.
They have named several road over
seers and have recommended to the
governor the appointment of some
water commissioners This is a duty
which the commissioners are called
upon to perform but it is never a
pleasant duty. Especially is this true
if the applicants are numerous and
the choice difficult one. The I'M
successful applicants and their friends
cannot but feel disappointed, and
gether satisfied with the board
action are not quite az charitable as
they should be. They do no. always
fully understand the facts and condi-
tions. The appointive power is the
source of so much annoyance and dis
satisfaction that it is not particularly
relished by any board. The Post be
lieves the commissioners are doing
the best they possibly can by the people
and in their appointments must have
proper regard for service and must
make their selections in accordance
With their best Judgment and their
conscience and trust to the future for
a vindication of their actions

county clerk echoed the same statement
on behalf of the county. 1t is GER
tainly gratifying to know that both
the county and the town are advauc-
ing along the lines of financial pros
perity and this condition surely
speaks well for the material greatness
of our country. Few new towns and
counties after making the substantial
improvements which are noticeable
here can report a decrease in the pub
lie debt as can Garfield county and

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IL. 1905.
LET RIGHT PREVAIL

The Post has not gone 'daffy'' on
the. guhernatoIial contest now pending
in Denver, and while we hold very
decided views and have positive
preference rs to the man best fitted to
fill the governors chair, we do not
ask that the man of our choice be de-
clared governor unless he received the
votes to warrant such action. We
insist that the man receiving the ma
jority of the honest votes be seated as
governor, be that Adams or Peabody.
There should be no spite work and
there should be no partisan partiality
which shall override or attempt to
override the will of the people as ex-
pressed in the ballot.
The fact that the democrats two
years ago literally stole the legisla
ture and then stole United States
senator does not warrant retaliatory
meth DDS except such as may be JUST
fed by the facts and conditions We
have always believed that Peabody
was legally and honestly elected, and
the Adams investigation has not shat-
tered that belief If the investigation
shall establish beyond doubt that
the contrary is true, then Peabody
should retire and we shall doff our
hat to Governor Adams. If, howev
er, rs some claim, the evidence is so
conflicting and uncertain as to make
it impossible for any one to safely and
honestly say which is elected then in
view of the fact that the fraud has
been nearly all committed by the
democrats the republican majority
should seat Peabody and let it go at
that.
If the democrats had the same
chance to seat their candidate they
would not hesitate minute to do it
light or wrong. The republicans
will not resort to such tactics by fol q
lowing the example set them by the
Colorado democracy, but We predict
they will find sufficient reason for
seating James H. Peabody as govern
or of Colorado and that such action
will be approved by the people and
the business interests throughout the
state

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

THE ANNOUNCEMENT is made
that the railroads have agreed to
make very low tourist rate from the
East to Colorado points for next sum-
mer. This will be encouraging news
10 residents of Colorado. There is no
doubt but that Colorado presents the
ideal attractions of the West for tour
list business In fact our unrivaled
scenic attractions and superb climate
cannot be approached but if we ex-
pect satisfactory influx of visitors
we must put ourselves in condition to
receive them and this Glenwood
should attend to at once Are we
doing all we can to make and keep
Glenwood the most attractive spot in

One of the ways for identifying the
country in the grand duchy of Baden
without ultimate expense to the tax
payer is the planting of fruit trees
along the government highways
These are cherry apple, pear, and
in some places, walnut trees. The
trees are planted thirty two feet apart
along each side of the road. and when
the fruit is ready for market, it is
sold at public auction on the trees
the purchaser being obliged to harvest
it at his own expense. The amount
realized from the sale of the fruit is
applied toward the maintenance of
the systematic propagation of young
trees, their planting and cultivation
etc.

OF THE GREATEST
posi- BILE

OF THE GREATEST possible
importance to the future of our state
is the matter of the education of the
young. Every boy and girl in the
state of Colorado should have at least
high school education and as many
as possible should be given college
course. knowledge is the greatest
civilizer the world has ever known.
We can endure the thought of leaving
our children without wealth. How
ever convenient riches may be many
of us will never be able to attain to Il
state of wealth much as we may strive
to do so but in this day of free public
schools there is no excuse whatever
for our failure to provide our boys
and girls with at least common
school education. In order that this
condition may be kept up it is neces-
sary that schools for the preparation
and training of teachers be main
tanned. This is the object of the pro-
posed state normal school for Glen
wood Springs and it means more to
The western slope than some of us now
fully realize.

RETURNS BY TELEPHONE.
Election Results known This Year

There never was Il presidential cleo

ton of the final results 50 early us this
year. The reason was simply that the
news was distributed more promptly
and more widely than ever before. and
this was made possible by the remark
able extension of the telephone system
within even the last four years.
Heretofore lie who wanted early in
formation or found in watching the
ebb and flow of the great tide of bal
lots exciting interest must go to tile
bulletin boards of the newspapers.
This year, however, preparations We're
begun weeks in advance that every
telephone subscriber in the Ben system
might know the news. if lie cared to,
as soon as the national committeeman
or the political editor. Special wires
were reserved on the trunk lines of
the long distance service connecting
the large cities which were made dis
tributing points from which the word
was carried on to town and village and
farmhouse wherever the speaking
wire" ran.
There is always heavy pressure on
the telephone wires on election night
anyway. Politicians and committee
men, who nowadays make extensive
use of the telephone in campaigning,
keep in touch with all the strategic
points "along the line" getting early
and frequent reports from doubtful
districts and sometimes issuing their

suits by means of 1t. Special arrange

welt and Judge Parker TO get the news
by wire, and in almost every state in

WHILE MANY excellent bills
have been introduced at the present
