twenty-eight years old, was found by

Industrial School Controversy.

Golden.-In relation to the attack Of
the labor unions on the wiring done
at the school Superintendent Paddle
ford of the State Industrial school,
says that he would be glad to have
= committee from the Electrical Work
ers' union examine the wiring at the
school. For the last twenty-three
years the boys have done all the elec-
tric wiring at the institution and dur
ing this time, he says, there has never
been trouble due to defective work.
He objects to the union calling the
boys convIcts and says that the faith
ers Of three-fourths Of them are union
men.
In addition to the wiring the boys
do all the work about the school, such
as running the dynamos and pumps,
blacksmithing, horseshoeing, machine
work. make their own clothes, shoes
and the wagons used at the institu-
ton. He believes that all labor
unions would be as much justified in
making complaint as the electricians.
The appropriation allowed the school
by the atate does not Justify hiring
all this work done and the boys are
taught these trades under competent
instructors, thus giving them oppor-
tunity to make an honest living when
they go out into the world.

CANAL FOR GRAND VALLEY.
Will Cost . Million and . Half and
Reclaim 10000 Acres.

Will Cost . Million and . Halt and
Reclaim 10000 Acres.
Grand Junction.-That the United
States government will construct a
$500. 900 high line canal to reclaim
10000 acres of arable land in the
Grand valley adjoining Grand juno
ton, 10 the announcement made by e.
W. Aupperle. secretary Of the local
chamber of commerce. who has just
returned from Washington, where he
was in conference for . week with
Secretary of the Interior GARFIELD.
The decision Of the government to
construct this great irrigation system
comes as the result of nearly twenty
years Of untiring effort and applica-
ton on the part OF the people Of Grand
Junction. The campaign to secure
federal cooperation was renewed
with vigor last spring. even to the Sc
curing of Secretary Garfield's own per-
sonal survey of the local situation. A
special visit was arranged last sum-
mer, whereby the secretary of the in
terror was enabled to view the at
fractions and possibilities Of the Grand
valley and to estimate the advantage
of high line canal.
The result of all this effort now cul-
inmates in the announcement that the
government will build the big ditch at
an early date. And as evidence Of
Its good faith $4,000 has been set
apart for the purpose of Immediately
establishing an engineers headQuar-
ters here.
The canal will have its headgate
under the shadows of Mt. Garfield.
which was named after the secretary's .
honored father, and will skirt the base
Of the mountain for about fifteen
miles, bringing over 10000 acres un-
der irrigation.
G. E. Sands, constructing engineer.
who is now supervising the work on
the Gunnison tunnel, will have charge
Of the survey which will be com
menced as soon as preliminaries can
be arranged. AS the direct result OF
the governments decision conserva-
tive citizens declare that the popula
ton of this city will be more than
doubled in less than five years and
that within that time the broad acres
now lying desolate will become the
home of at least 10000 families.
The report of the governments de
cision went through the city like wild
fire. Dignified citizens met each other
on the street and embraced, 30 great
was their thankfulness. No event in
the history of Grand Junction can com
pare with importance with the de
cision to build the canal.

May Trade for State Lands.

Denver.-In the opinion Of the at
torney general the state may sell
lands for other than cash remunera-
tions. The State Land Board some time
ago consulted Attorney General W. H
Dickson en- this point and yesterday
the opinion was handed down by
Ralph Talbot.
The case in point was that Of the
La lara Meadows Land & Reservoir
Company, which wishes to secure LAT
acres of the state land in southern
Colorado. It is said that water rights
would in many cases be more advan-
tageous for the state in the sale Of
public lands than cash, and 1t is prob
able that many sales will now be
made in exchange for water rights.

State Raises Royalty.

Denver.-Six cents on the ton Will
be charged the Victor Coal Company
in the future instead of as has been
customary heretofore. The Victor
company has coal mines Ia Huerfano
county ON state land and always made
the claim to the land board that only
fifty per cent. of the output was coal
and the rest was slack. The rate Is
10 cents on the ton and where but
fifty per cent. of the ore is lump coal.
but cents to the ton was charged.
But the land board has concluded that
the company In question is securing
sixty per cent. lump coal from the ore
and hence the rate has been advanced
to 6 cents.

turned verdict Of not guilty in the
case Of B. H. Tallmadge Of Denver,
charged with making fraudulent land
entries. the defendant was literally
showered with congratulations. Tall

dict, as he has stoutly maintained
since his indictment two years ago
that he was innocent and at the last
term Of court pleaded for trial in or
der that the Tallmadge company

Rour COUNTY COAL RAILROAD.
Makes Application for Right of Way
Across School Lands,

ACTo88 SCnooI l1n0os
Denver.-Application has been made
to the State Land Board for right of
way over 169 acres of some Of the rich
est coal land in Colorado by the Colo
RADIO Z Northern Railroad Company.
The company plans to build a line of
thirty miles from Hayden, station on
the Moffak road, in Routt county.
through the anthracite coal fields OF
that section and California peak, end
ing at Sand Mountain pass. Later. it
is contemplated to build an extension
through the Hahn's Peak District.
DR.. A. A. Johnson. superintendent
Of the mineral department of the State
Land ONCE, is vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the company. He ap-
praised the land as being worth $3.50
an acre and that was the price for which
the board is asked to sell the 159
acres. DR.. Johnson explained that the
necessary rights of way over govern
ment territory had been secured free
because OF the important and rich coal
region the line would open. The ap
plication did not state whether the sale
would be outright or not. The board
expressed itself as being unwilling to
dispose Of such valuable coal land and
action on the matter was postponed
until the attorney general could inves-
tigate. The benefits accruing from the
line are plain to the board and the
probabilities are that the board will
sell the surface rights at the figure Of
fered, reserving the rights to the min
eral deposits.
The Colorado & Northern Railroad
company was incorporated year ago
with capitalization OF 100000. The
company is said to have purchased the
rights granted in 1880 to Calvin 8.
Brice. Samuel Thomas and other big
eastern magnates to build a line
through Routt county.
The officers of the company are B.
Dorsey of st. Louis, president; DR.. A.
A. johnson, vice president; directors,
John L. Crabtree of ST. Louis, H. L.
Ritter, M. ]. Dorsey, Marshall E. John
son and Horace F. Clarke.
