LAND VALUES
COLORADO LEADS ALL OTHER
SECTIONS IN VALUE
Some Fruit Lands Worth 81 500
an Acre While Average Price
in United States is Less
Than SIC

Every landholder in Colorado has
a right to the knowledge that he Is
the proprietor of possession that in
the very nature of things is bound to
appreciate in value. The rate of in
crease may be FASTENED or delayed by
local conditions. but the increase is
certain, and it is perfectly safe
prediction that at the end of any
decade the value of any piece of
Colorado real estate will be more
than at the beginning of that period.
And while this is true in general
way of all land in the state, it is
especially true of the better quality
of irrigated land, that is to say. of
the irrigated lands that are most
favorably located as regards the es-
sential conditions of water supply,
altitdue, means of transportation
and nearnesS to market.
There is something highly signif-
cant in the fact that some Colorado
fruit lands are held at prices exceed
ing 81, 500 an acre, while the average
for all the farm lands of the United
States is less than SIG an acre, and
the average value per acre of the
farm lands of the north central divi-
sion, the best improved farming
region of the country, is less than
s25 per acre.
The value OF any piece of property
depends upon its producing capacity,
and the lands of Colorado are no ex-
ception to the rule. Fruit lands,
grass lands. garden lands. and other
lands of Colorado are worth more
than lands in other states because
their productive capacity is increased
by exceptional conditions of soil.
climate and cultivation, so that
they produce more crops or better
crops ard are therefore worth more
money.
The owner of sugar beet field, or
an alfalfa field, or pea field, or
peach orchard, or a vineyard, or
melon field, in Colorado, can market
his crop for more money than an
other farmer can get from similar
amount of land in another state.
And If from twenty acres the
Colorado farmer can get greater
cash product than farmer elsewhere
can get from 160 acres, then the
twenty acre field in Colorado is
worth not only as much as the l6O
acres elsewhere-it is worth more
because, the expense of cultivation
OF the smaller tract is very much
less.
And 1t is always worth remember
ing that the amount of choice Colo. |
RADIO land is strictly limited, and
whatever the government may do for
US in the way of irrigation works. or
whatever help science may give in
the way of improved seeds or better
methods, the time can never come in
Colorado when .the acreage of good
land, we'll watered, will ever exceed
the increasing demand.
For safe. profitable and perma-
nent investment, there is nothing
better tran Colorado irrigated lands

WHITES AND BLACKS FIGHT.
Two Persons Shot, One Perhaps Fa-
tally, in New York.

New YORK, July 9.-Two persons were
shot, one probably fatally, in fight between
mobs of whites and negroes in West Sixteenth
street today.
The trouble began when Henry Hart,
colored man, was attacked in the street by a
number of white youths who accused him of
interfering with ball game. Hart fed, pur-
sued by a mob of whites hurting stones, bricks
and other missiles. On reaching the tenement
house in which he lived he got revolver, and
when his pursuers made efforts TO break into
the building, he ran down stairs and began
firing into the crowd. One of the shots struck
James Hunter in the side.
At this moment Policeman John Loye came
up and arrested Hart after the latter had fired
at him twice As Love brought his prisoner
out "a swarm of negroes, armed with pistols,
clubs, razors and other weapons, poured out
of the tenements bent on a rescue. The po-
hcemall's helmet was smashed and he was
knocked down and kicked, but he kept firm
grip on his prisoner and finally succeeded in
getting his back against the wall, where he
stood of his assailants.
By this time the whites had been reinforced
to the number Of several hundred, and the
negroes broke and fed in every direction. A
shot fred from negro tenement struck Mrs.
Mary Donohue, who was attempting 10 lead a
child out of the tenement, IN the head, inlet
ing probably fatal wound.
The police broke into the house and arrested
Albert Middleton. who is supposed TO have
fired the shot, aud five other negroes.
In spite of the presence of a large body OF
police reserves a desutory fighting between
whites and blacks continued until u sudden
downpour Of rain scattered the combatants.

Missionaries Needed in New York.

New York is Il foreign ield--a foreign

Que of the tent missionaries, at the Monday
rally of the Evangelisuc Committee OF Greater
New York. He said
''In the crowd which comes 10 my tent there
seems 10 be an intellectual darkness that |
hardly think could be equaled in India. These
people all have q religion-some kind of a
rehgiou-but it does not seem 10 help them.
They seem to be cropping in darkness-lor

A Mystery to Solve.
For the pemoeralIe AdvoeaLe.


viii some one please explain why the road
known as The Buffalo Road, " leading from
New Windsor to Marston and on, has not had
proper attention. The road is elevated and
high enough TO be one Of the best roads in the
county, but, instead, in may be the reverse,
with mud holes from side to side, covering
the entire middle of the road.
So far we have made no objections to pay
ing taxes for the keeping up of roads, but
if the roads are not repaired and put in a
proper condition, so that in this way we may
received some value for our money, We shall
certainly find fault Some one may try to
adjust the cause by saying, 1--WE have had a
rainy season" but let me say this road has
not been properly repaired for the past three
years, or more.
We think it high time this road be looked
after. Instead of the water being damned
up Oh the road, let their be outlets made to
drain the water off. TAXPAYER.
