In the mind Of John Wesley Gaines,

Sylvester PeSSin1iStic
About COudrey Measure
Thinks 1t Only a Poor Makeshift-Needs One
Hundred More Regular PatroImen
Instead of Fifty Near-POIiCe

Major Sylvester Superintendent Of Po-
ice, does not believe that the bill
which Representative Godfrey will IN
troduce in the House tomorrow, pro
viding for additional men on the police
force, viii give him any more men for
patrol duty.
The measure provides that the Spe-
cial crossing policemen shall be trans
ferred TO the regular force and assigned
- the various classes of privates. To
take the place of the crossing police
men, the stipulation is made that the
traction companies shall employ flag
men at crossings where there is much
traffic. In this way, Representative
Coudrey asserts. the railway companies
will not have 10 pay the salaries Of
special policemen, and the police force
VIII be enlarged.
Mr.. Coudrey says that in this manner
fifty additional members wiz be placed
on the force. Major Sylvester says
there are only about thirty of these
special officers, and if the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Coudrey is adopted, he
does not believe it will be the means of
giving him more than half that number
Of available men.

Major Sylvester recommended 10 the
Commissioners that an appropriation be
made for 100 additional privates on the
force. This recommendation met with
favorable action at the hands OF the
Commissioners. The House District
Committee failed to see the necessity
for the additional men, and the measure
was reported upon unfavorably.

DRY FARMING IN COLORADO.
Rapid Advance of This Method in
Arid Regions of That State.

Great progress has been made In
dry farming the past year or two.
That is, a great deal more land is
now being cultivated by the dry farm
ing method than a year ago. AS show
ing the advance of the work in Colo
rado.. the Denver Post gives the fol-
lowing:
The total acres dry farmed in Col
orado, 100000. Total acres dry farm
ed in eastern Colorado, 100000. In
crease over last year for the state,
100000.
This shows that the increase in the
acreage under dry farming during the
year in Colorado is so per cent. This
is quoted to show what is being done
in the simi-arid sections of other
states, in order that those who live
in the semi-arid sections OF Oregon,
may be encouraged to take up the
work which has been very success
ful in Colorado, and which may prove
beneficial in this county, by well d.
rected effort.
