Routt County Land To Be Opened.

Denver.-Colorado's first opening of
land under the Carey act will take
place September 5th. At a meeting of
the State Land Board recently the
board formally decided on this date as
the time when the Little Snake river
valley will be thrown open. This
tract comprises $4,000 acres of land
and is being irrigated by large canal
system now in course of construction.
The land is from within fif-
teen to twenty-five miles of the
established surveys of the Mcf-
fat road and is about fifty miles
from the Union Pacific 1t is in the
heart of Routt county and is princi-
pally agricultural Tracts of 40, 80,
120 or 160 acres will be sold under the
Carey act to citizens of the United
States. These tracts can be secured
by the payment of so cents an acre to
the state, and the purchase of water
rights from the canal company. The
price of the water rights has been
fixed by the state at $25 an acre, one
fifth of which. or IS per acre, is to be
paid down, the balance to run a term
of years at six per cent. interest. One
half of the soc due the state is to
be paid when the selection of the land
is filed with the State Land Board and
the remainder when one-eighth of the
land has been reclaimed and patent D.
piled for.
The land is an irregular tract from
one to six miles in width and extends
from a point below Baggs. Wyoming,
on the Colorado-Wyom state line,
to point just above Lay Colorado.
The upper end of the tract is about
sixty miles from Rawlins, Wyoming,
and the lower part is from fifteen to
twenty-five miles from the line of the
Moffat road.

Laramie. Wyo.-James Vine, father
Of Mrs. Theodore Tregoning of this
place. ami Mrs. Earl Harris and Miss
Alice Vine of Denver. died at Riverton.
Wyoming, July 31st. The remains
were taken to Denver for interment.
Vine came to Laramie May 5, 1868,
from Fort Sanders, when there were

carpenter business, later starting a
furniture store. About eight years ago
he removed to Denver and engaged in
the real estate business, two years ago
going to the new town of Riverton,
where he became justice of the peace
and was a member of the commission
to formulate a charter for the town.
He was mayor of Laramie for one term
and at the time of his death was JUS
tice at Riverton. Mr.. Vine was Con-
federate soldier in Tie Civil War. He
Joined the Odd Fellows lodge here, but
had withdrawn to become a charter
member of the lodge at Riverton,
which will be instituted in a few days.

more shall render the contract void on
the part of the contracting parties, the
state then having a right to dispose of
the uncompleted project to the highest
bidder, thereby entering into a new
contract with the buyers.
Persons making application for the
land under this act must do so for
the purpose of actual reclamation, cul-
tivation and settlement, and must pay
the nominal sum of so cents an acre
for the land, half to be paid at time of
entry and half at time of proof of set
tlement and reclamation.
Proofs of Reclamation.
Another condition imposed upon
those taking up land under this act is
that within one year after the notifica-
ton of a settler that irrigation works
are completed and water is ready to
be furnished his land, the settler shall
reclaim not less than one-sixteenth
of the land filed upon, and within two
years the settler must have actually ir-
rigated and cultivated not less than
one-eighth of the land filed upon.
This being done, the settler can
then, within three years of the time
water was first ready to turn upon his
land for cultivating purposes, make
final proof of reclamation, cultivation
and settlement upon at least one-eighth
of the land he has filed upon. When
this proof, and any other required by
the board, is made before a notary pub
lie, justice of the peace, or justice of a
District Court, the dispositions of prin-
cipals and witnesses are sent to the
State Board of Land Commissioners
for approval and, if approved by the
board, claim for patent to the entire
plat of land is sent to the Department
of the Interior. When this patent re.
turns the land, then becomes the
property of the settler.
AS yet there have been no lands pat
ented in Colorado under this law, al
though several requests for such
lands are on file in the State Board of
Land Commissioners Office, and many
settlers are now complying with the
conditions of the statutes in order to
realize the benefits of the act.
The largest project of this kind now
on foot is that of the Routt County De.
velopment Company, which has built a
large reservoir and canal in Little
Snake River valley, in Routt county
Some $4,000 acres of this rich land
are to be opened under this act in the
| fall and within the next two years at
least 6.000 acres of the land will be
under cultivation. Within three years
the land and irrigation system will be
owned by the settlers who take up the
land there.
Proposals for reclamation projects
in San Luis valley, Weld, Morgan and
| Fremont counties have been received
recently by the board and have been
favorably acted upon These projects
assure the taking up of hundreds oi
thousands of acres of land under this
act within the near future
The full scope of the act has not
been commonly understood by the peo
| pie at large until recently, and it is
only within the past year or two that
such projects have been taken up gen
orally by capitalists here and else
| where.

PRAISE LIFE SAVERS HERoIsM
Survivors of Wreck Were Saved Only
by Pluck and Daring Of the
Dutch Lifesavers.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The newspa-
pers here and on the continent are
ringing with praise for the heroism
of Capt. Sperling of Dordrecht, to
whose initiative and courage it was
entirely due that the last three sur
vivors of the steamship Berlin, which
was wrecked off the Hook-of-Hol-
land, were rescued.
All the survivors of the Berlin are
progressing favorably. They tell af-
fecting stories of their terrible ex
periences aboard the wreck, which,
according to the salvagers, presented
an awful spectacle of destruction.
Sad scenes were witnessed at Har-
witch yesterday with the arrival cor
burial of the first consignment of
bodies of those who met death in the
disaster. Many bodies are still miss
ing, and a number of those that have
been found have not yet been ideLli-
fed.

$4,000 MEN MAY STRIKE

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-An acute
stage was reached last night in wage
negotiations between the Western
railroads and fifty thousand conduc-
tors and train service employees,
which may develop into a complete
severance of relations. Negotiations
have been going on for nearly a
month.
The men are asking for an eight
hour day and an increase in wages
of Is per cent.
The railroad officials issued a state
ment saying they were willing to
grant an increase of nine per cent in
pay, and that this was their final
answer. the union officials reply to
this announcement was that if such
was the case it would be useless to
continue the negotiations looking to
a settlement. and that unless the
railroads were willing to grant fur
Their concessions the question of q
strike would be voted on at once
Late last night arrangements were
made for another meeting when q
final effort will be made to come tC
a peaceable understanding.

HEARD SCREAMS OVER PHONE
Woman Vainly Calls for Help as
Tramp Attacks Her In Her
HOme-Rescuers Too Late

CENTERVILLE, Iowa, Feb. Is
Rural telephone users all over
Wayne county yesterday heard the
screams of Mrs. George Stech, while
she struggled desperately with a
tramp, who attacked her in her home
near the county line. Men in the
homes of her nearest neighbors, who
fastened to get out teams and run
to the assistance of the woman, were
too late to save Mrs. Stech or cap
ture her assailant Posses with
bloodhounds are searching the
countryside and there is chance
that the tramp will be lynched if
captured.
Mrs. Stech says the tramp came
to her door and demanded admit
lance. She was alone in the house
with her three-year-old girl and
frightened, she closed the door in
the tramp's face and locked it. The
man at once began to break down
the door.
Mrs. Stech carried her little girl
to a bedroom and locked her in. She
then ran to her telephone and rang
to call for assistance, but before she
could speak the tramp had forced
his way in and seized her. She
dropped the receiver, leaving the tel
ephone open and the, central operator
heard her first scream.
For half an hour the woman strug-
gled desperately with her assailant
all over the living room. Each time
she found herself near the telephone
she screamed for help. In nearly
every home on the systm to which
her telephone belongs her screams
were heard.
The first of her neighbOrs to ar
rive found Mrs. Stech bound and un-
conscious. The tramp had disap-
peared. The men who started out to
hunt him down after hearing her
story were armed and said they
would shoot him on sight.

RAILROAD ON MATTERHORN
Scheme to Lay Track to Top of Fam
Gus Peak@JOurney Will Then
Take About Two Hours.

GENEVA, Feb. 25.-A daring en-
cheering scheme is attracting much
attention here Two engineers well
known for their work in designing
mountain railroads have applied to
the federal council to grant them a
franchise for the construction of a
railway from Zermatt to the top OF
the Matterhorn. The scheme con-
sists of two sections, the first a cog
and ratchet track from Ine Viege-
Zermatt depot to the Lac Noir
(2,50S meters) tunneling through
the Hoernli peak.
The second comprises two funi-
culaires from the refuge station to
the summit (3,052 meters), the lat
ter being constructed in tunnel
with gradient of So to 90 per cent
The whole system is to be worked
electrically and the promoters pro-
pose to construct buildings at the
summit sufficient to accommodate
a certain number of visitors, includ-
ing, if feasible, a compressed ai'
room for persons who suffer from
mountain sickness.
1t is estimated it will require four
years to construct the railroad and
will cost 100000 francs, or about
$2.000,000. The journey from Ter
matt to the summit will require one
hour and fifty minutes and will cost
fifty francs. At present the ascent
takes twenty-four hours and the
charges for guides amount to $50
francs. Alpinists are bitterly opposed
to the scheme on the ground that
it would make one of the finest and
most difficult peaks in Switzerland
accessible to every Cooks tourist,
and the Freibourg and Berne sec
| tons of the Alpine club have already
issued appeals for public support to
oppose its contamination.

the free bridge bill can not be inter
preted by us in any other manner
than as the result of selfish mo-
tive.

FASHION DEFORMS WOMEN

Last Sundays papers had whole
pages about the new or revived wasp
waist that Fashion has decreed must
come into vogue this year. Columns
were devoted to telling women how
to deform their human form divine
and inflict prolonged fortunes upon
themselves and bring on permanent
suffering, and variety of diseases,
and untimely death, in attaining the
wasp waist.
We, include the women who tor
ment and injure themselves and their
offspring, if they have any, call our
selves civilized, and scorn as barbar-
Gus the African or islander who
wears a piece of metal in his nose
or the Chinese woman whose feet
have been pinched in infancy to pre-
vent their growth; yet these prac-
tees are no whit more unreasonable
or censurable than this of compress
ing the waist out of it's proper shape
and so preventing the proper and
healthy action of various vital Or
gans.
When Dame Fashion DEGREES a
wasp waist she puts blight on the
development of the human race and
becomes a diabolical enemy of COM
fort, health and happiness in human
kind in general and women in partic-
| ular. A pinched body is a species OF
race suicide.
The growing wonder is that any
really sensible and reasoning woman
will submit to this punitive and I'M
| reasonable tyranny; for in the eyes
of men whose admiration is deserv-
| ing of appreciation this distortion OF
the beautiful female form is repul
sive
! Mere physical beauty in woman
can exist only in connection with
health and happiness, and neither
of these can coexist with the WASP
waist 1t is a pity that the womer
who decree this style OF reformation
could not be sent to keep company
with Cassie Chadwick. They do {
million times the harm she ever did

The Merchants Association of the
county is at work preparing a direc-
tory and "a ing book of the county.
There are five ratings. Prompt pay
and financ ally responsible. Prompt
pay. Slow pay but good. Slow pay. and
Cash on Delivery. The ratings are
made by different merchants and these
ratings are all given. Thus a man may
be rated prompt pay by five. slow pay
by one and no good by another. 1t
is proposed to correct this every three
months, and this should be done both
for the protection of merchants and
to give the man who tries the benefit
of his efforts to improve his standing.
The book is expected to be of value
both as to credits and for use as a
mailing list. The work is now going
on and it behooves every one to set
tie his old accounts so that he may
not get black eye in the merchants
book of life.
