RIO GRANDE OFFICIALS SEE IN
THEM NUCLEUS OF THRlv-
ING COMMUNITY.
HALF OF TRACT SOLD
SIX HUNDRED PEOPLE WILL RE.
MAIN TO BEGIN WORK ON
IMPROVEMENTS.

Denyer.-The Republican Wednes-
day morning says: With 600 of the
new land holders at Fort Garland re-
naming on their newly-acQuired hold
ings, the nucleus for a fine farming
community has been established al
ready and it appears that the plan of
the San Luis Valley Land Company
has succeeded beyond all reasonable
expectations. At the conclusion of
the distribution Tuesday night over
one-half of the land had been disposed
of and there seemed to prevail a uni
versal feeling of satisfaction with the
results. Upon securing their allot-
ment of land, the holders would go to
take a look at it, and, having satisfied
themselves of it's character, they
would return to Fort Garland and be-
gin their operations for the future.
Monday night 200 of the new land
holders left for their homes in the
states east of Colorado and Tuesday
night 200 more followed. Over 600
have made up their minds to remain
and begin work on their land at once,
and this is regarded as matter for
self-congratulation by the people who
are interested in the future of the val
ley
IF only 200 would remain it would
be the nucleus for fine farming COM
munity," said Maj. S. X. Hooper, gen
eral passenger agent of the Denver &
Rio Grande, and with 600 staying. the
new district has a fine start already.
There people will build at once and be-
gin working their new land, l hear,
which is an indication of the kind OF
workers they are"
'All of the settlers that l saw were
of an exceptionally desirable charac-
ter" added F. A. Wadleigh, assistant
general passenger agent, who was at
Fort Garland during the drawing.
There wasn't a saloon nor a gambling
house in that whole tent city, and
the farmers who were there to get
land seemed to be a serious minded,
business like class of men. They spent
considerable time looking over other
parts of the valley, and l understand
that there were several large tracts
purchased by the visitors quite out
side of the land secured in the allot.
ment by the company
I'VE ran special trains out of Fort
Garland to carry the visitors to the
cowboy sports at Alamosa, and they
also took trips to other towns in the
best farming districts of that part of
the state.
What delay and doubt there was
concerning the distribution of land was
not nearly so bad on the grounds as IT
was made out to be in the papers here
The three trustees who had been ap.
pointed to take charge of the land and
supervise its distribution refused to act
until they had secured legal advice
This was only natural and the delay
which followed was due to complica
tion of setbacks in securing the man
that was wanted. AS soon as an at.
torney was secured the distribution
proceeded in perfect harmony and has
turned out most satisfactorily"
