sions of the Dick act and Adjutant
General Wells, Brigadier General Bell

lied.
The question of armories at various
cities was discussed. The state should
own its own armories, but 1t has never
had the money and Is compelled to
spend considerable sums in rent an.
nually. Propositions have come from
three towns in the state to build ar
mories for the state. which shall in
time become its property. To do that
would involve a larger expenditure for
rent than has been customary, and
whether it can be done is problem
for the military board to solve. Prop
ositions have come from Captain c. C.
Spicer at Colorado Springs, Major
Crary at Boulder and Captain Towne
at Greeley. Others even more favora

Lieu.enan. Governor Contest.

Denver, May 5.-Claiming that he is
entitled to the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor, that he is holding it under the
constitution; that Senator Fred W..
Parks in his quo warranto proceedings
against him does not state facts suffi-
cient to make a case, and asking that
the entire proceedings be dismissed,
Arthur Cornforth. lieutenant governor,
filed his return in the case Wednesday
in the Supreme Court. The return was
signed by Attorney General N. c. Mil
Ter.
After citing the various constitu-
tional reasons why he is entitled to the
office, the return denies that on the Sd
day of April Senator Cornforth ceased
to be lieutenant governor by virtue of
the election of Senator Parks as presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, and al
leges that he is the lieutenant governor
de jure, and that he became such when
a vacancy was created in that office by
the resignation of James H. Peabody
and the assumption of the office of gov
ernor by Jesse f. Mcdonald.
The substance of Senator Cornforth's
contention is, that the president pro
TEN. of the Senate at the time a va
cancy occurs in the office of lieutenant
governor succeeds to the office for the
remainder of the term, no matter who
may afterward become president pro
TEN.

Introducing Durum Wheat.

The following communication is from
Prof. w. II. Olin of the Experiment
Station of the Agricultural College OF
Colorado:
1--WE have just finished sending seed
durum wheat to farmers in the semi
arid sections of the state This wheat
was sent in amounts varying from
twenty-five pounds to 100 pounds to
each farmer asking for same, as long
as the wheat lasted. This wheat was
not sent out free, as some papers have
stated. Where pure pedigreed Ku-
banka durum wheat could be obtained
the college paid the market price for
same, recleaned where necessary. re-
sacked, labeled and sent to the farmers
over the state.
ITO get this wheat to the farmers at
as reasonable price as possible, the
college made no charge for its work,
sending the wheat at the original cost
price of same and the railroads of the
state transported this experimental
wheat, waving freight charges on the
entire amount.
1.-The Colorado & Southern railroad
transported all of the wheat and from
the experiment station to Denver. The
Denver & Rio Grande railway and Col
orado Midland carried 1t to the west
ern slope farmers, while the Union Pa
cific. Burlington, Rock Island. Missouri
Pacific, Santa Fe. and Colorado &
Southern railroads distributed the
wheat along the eastern slope of the
Rockies and out over the eastern
plains.
81 feel that this state test of drum
wheat is made possible by this coop
GRAFTON of the Colorado railroads and
take pleasure in giving public acknowl-
edgment of same.
Il wish to thank these railroad Off
Gals for this courtesy and the interest
they have shown in having this wheat
distributed, testing the possibilities of
our semi-arid lands"

Utah Railroad Automobiles.

Denver, May &C. o. Baxter, gen.
eral manager of the Uintah railroad in
Utah, is making extensive purchases
of new equipment for his road in Den
yer. Among the equipment already
purchased are three Pullman sleeping
cars and three track automobiles.
Mr.. Baxter will use automobiles in
two ways. He will run one automobile
service as an extension of the rail-
road from Dragon to Vernal and will
use another on the railroad track, hav-
ing secured large autos with fange
iron wheels made especially to fit the
rails, this service extending from Mack
to Dragon.
The automobile trains will alternate
with the trains of railroad cars. The
autos are provided with broad can
opy top and side seats. Each vehicle
will carry fifteen or sixteen passen-
gers. Running on level railroad
track, high rate of speed can be
maintained. The use of automobiles
on railroad tracks is the next thing to
the gasoline motor car which the
Union Pacific railroad had in Denver
recently.

GORE CANON SUIT.
Federal Authorities Ask Injunction
Against Moffat Road.

Denver, May THE second move
in the Gore canon controversy on the
part OF representatives OF the United
States government was made yester-
day when bill for an injunction was
filed in the Federal Court asking that
the Denver. Northwestern & Pacific
railroad be restrained from construct
ing its line through Gore canon. The
suit is similar to the one instituted
several days ago, which asked that the
right of way of the road be vacated.
This one is little stronger. 1t de-
mands speedy action to prevent the
road from getting into the canon.
The papers were served on Charles
]. Hughes, counsel for the road, last
night. A hearing in the matter has
been set for next Thursday before
Judge Moses Hallett.
Besides the road the Colorado Utah
Construction Company is made a de-
PENDANT and various officials OF the
two companies are also included. The
bill is signed by Earl Cranston. United
States district attorney. and William
H. Moody, attorney general.
It is alleged that the government en-
gineers had it in mind to make a res
ervoir of Gore canon as early as 1901,
long before the Moffat road was organ
lied. The value of the situation as a
reservoir site is set forth and it is al
legged that it is the key to the water
ing of about 100000 acres in Califor.
mia, Arizona, Utah and Colorado, $4,000
acres being in Colorado alone. A mil
lion people could be maintained on the
lands now arid which this reservoir
could irrigate.
The road has three rights of way
surveyed, it is claimed, one going
through Gore canon at an elevation
above the proposed dam. another
around Gore canon and a third through
the canon at the level of the river.
1t is claimed that the government
would be glad to have the road built
at the elevation above the dam.

Japanese Push Forward.

Gadgeyandana, Manchuria, May T.
Since April 20. Japanese have been ad-
vancing slowly and internationally,
pushing forward their columns sue
cessively from right to left under cover
of screen of Chinese bandits. The
advance has resulted in Strengthening
the alightment Of the opposing armies,
Russian detachments. which were far
advanced on the tanks being forced
to retire.
1t is reported that the Japanese
armies in the center have been rein
forced. The force Of Field Marshal
Oyama's disposal. according to infor-
nation recently received, is 34S bat
talions. or 100000 men.
The Japanese are said to have
armed $4,000 or 10000 Chinese bandits
with captured Russian rifles. The
Chinese population has been drafted
by the Japanese for road making and
entrenching, and roads are being con-
structed to Sinminpu. Banchensee and
Nangapass.

The FARM AND RANGE


The experiments in irrigation by
means OF pumps, which Will be made
In this state and in the vicinity OF
Cheyenne, Wyoming, by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture under the direc-
ton of Mr. Elwood Mead, will be OF
great interest.
The results may show 1t to be en-
tirely practicable to irTigate small
tracts OF land by this means all
through the plains region, thus re-
claiming from aridity what in the ag-
gregate will be a large area. The CHIEF
question involved seems to be whether
an adequate amount of water can be
raised in this way to irrigate sufficient
land to make the employment of the
method profitable.
1t is evident that this method of If
rigating will tend toward intensified
agriculture Water raised by pumps,
whether wind or steam is used. will be
too precious to be wasted. Farmers
will put II to the best practicable use
by growing crops yielding a high per
centage of profit per acre.
This is the kind of agriculture Colo
RADIO and all the other arid states need.
They may leave the production OF
cereals to localities where farming can
be conducted without irrigation. The
reclaimed land of the arid states will
thus be used in growing crops that
command a high price per acre. but
which require careful tillage and close
attention to give the best results.
Close or intensified farming OF this
kind makes 1t practicable TO maintain
a large population per square mile. In
stead of dividing square mile into.
four farms OF 100 acres each, 1t will be
divided into sixteen of forty acres
each. Instead of supporting an agri-
cultural population of twenty per
square mile. farming of this kind will
support eighty. From this one may
see what intensified farming means TO
Colorado and hence what may be
looked for from any method of irriga-
ton

The Campbell system.

In a recent interview Mr.. W. G.
Cheesman. president OF the Denver
Union Water Company. spoke enthu-
siastical1y of the agricultural prospects
of Colorado. saying:
I'm the agricultural line Colorado
has made great strides, particularly in
the cultivation of the soil without IT.
rigation. The new Campbell system
OF agriculture means more to Colorado
than many people realize. The water
company had an experience with this
last season. which was very gratifying.
On some OF our lands we did not care
to use water because 1t was needed for
the use of the people of Denver, so we
planted our crops and raised them
without irrigation.
I'VE planted some land to durum
wheat and this yielded forty bushels
to the acre. Our rye yielded thirty
bushels. In some special cases, where
we gave particular attention to the
crops. we raised forty-six bushels of
durum wheat to the acre. These spe-
cial tests opened our eyes. So well did
We succeed with our agricultural ex-
periments without water last year,
that we will largely increase our acre
age this season, planting about $50
acres of durum and probably about the
same amount of rye. all of which land
will be handled without irrigation.
You can see what this means for
Colorado. There is vast amount of
land which can be utilized for agricul-
ture by this system. where It is i'm
possible to raise crops by irrigation.
Colorado has now come to be an agri-
cultural state and our crops are the
wonder of the world.
