to add 100000 acres of land to Wyom-
ing's quota under the Carey desert
land act, furnished the following in
formation in reference to the opera
tions of this act in Wyoming:
Under the provisions of this act the
state of wyoming has already applied
for nearly 100000 acres, and surveys
are now being made and applications
prepared for additional amounts,
which will far exceed the amount orig
inally mentioned in said law. The COM
mittee is of the opinion that the oper-
ations of the act should not be him
dered or impeded and that the addi-
tional acreage should be made avail
able.
1.-The operations of the Carey act in
dealing with the arid lands have been
most beneficial. No person can ac-
quire under this law more than 160
acres and the whole transaction is so
guarded as to insure in the highest
degree honest operation as we'll as the
actual settlement and Improvement of
the land This law operates to re-
claim tracts OF land where the labor
and expense is beyond the means of
the individual settler and tracts

tract the attention of the reclamation

1t is proposed to establish pumping
plants along the Arkansas river and
pump water by means of the long irri-

The development of the scheme will

Railroad Assessments.

Beginning April Goth and continuing
until April 25th, the State Board OF
Equalization will sit to assess the val
uation of all railroad, telephone. tele-
graph. express, sleeping and other car
line properties in Colorado. The board
last year assessed against these COM
panies $52,977 ,527. of which the rail.
road assessment amounted to S4S,570,-
S19; telephone companies, $2,716,S51;
telegraph companies, s753,921; express
companies, s344,303; Pullman COM
pany. S312,4S3; private car lines, s279,-
050
The total taxes paid by these COM
panies during 1907 for 1905 and as
sessed in 1906 was S1,492, ,491.04. 1t is
claimed there will be no reduction in
the assessments this year, but on the
contrary there may be slight increase
due to the numerous improvements
completed during 1907 The report of
the board for 1907 shows the railroad
mileage Ia Colorado December 81,
1906, was Standard gauge, 5,5S4S2
miles; marrow gauge. 1,705.4; total,

May Discipline Venezuela.

Wcshington.-The long pending dis
pute with Venezuela is to be placed in
the hands of President Roosevelt for
settlement. The Senate has so decided
and as soon as the formal resolution
giving him full authority has been
passed. he will take 1t in hand. Recent
ly ratified treaties compel this govern
ment to seek arbitration, but as Vene-
zuela has several times refused to ar
bitrate the claims of American citizens
and companies, there is no doubt that
she will now consent to it.
In case President Castro again re-
fuses, Mr.. Roosevelt will have full
power to employ force and he will not
hesitate to do this. There is no pros
pect of anything like real war, as a
few shells from an American warship
would bring the Venezuelans to terms.
and hostilties would probably consist
in the landing of a few marines in Ven
ezuelan ports to seize the custom
houses.

stockers were scarce all week. Prices
dropped Is to rs cents early in the
week, but later there was some i'm
provement though the market is still
lower than a week ago. Choice de-
horned Utah and Wyoming steers sold
at $5.25 freight paid and most of the
good feeders and stockers offered
ranged from this down to $500.
