Hugo Land Office Leads.

The record for filings was again broken
at the local U. S. land office during the
.ponth Qf March with total of 252 as
aganst'225 for February, the greatest
number of any previous month. The
amount of business has so largely in
creased that an extra clerk has been
sent here from the general land office at
Washington. For the first quarter of
1906 there was a total of 63l filings as
compared with total of $40 at the Pu-
eblo land Office, which we believe places
the Hugo Office first in the number of
filings for all land offices located in Col
orado. So In letter received from DIR.
G. ID. March, who has been in Washing
ton, ID. C., all winter, he informs us that
he hopes to start the loco experiment
work here not far from the first of April.
He also says that the laboratory work
on the subject has been very successful
and it harmonizes perfectly with the
field work. The experiment will be
watched with much interest by our
stockmen this year for the department
has a basis to work upon, and to find an
antidote for the poison will be the chief
aim of the summers work.-Hugo Range
