The Herald telegraph columns yes
terday contained a synopsis of a bill
introduced in congress in regard to
the disposition of the Fort Lewis In
dian school buildings and grounds, the
latter consisting of ten sections, OF
something over 5000 acres. The con
ditions of the bill are that the United
States deed the property and that the
state of Colorado maintain forever an
agricultural school in La Plata county
where the principles of agriculture
mechanical arts, and such other
branches as the legislature may see
proper to install from time to time. be
taught. The state is to retain suffi.
cient amount of land for the use OF
the agricultural school, and may sell
the balance for not less than SIS per
acre to bona fide settlers not exceed.
ing $50 acres TO each, the proceeds to
be invested either in United States or
state bonds, the income to be used for
the support of the school, the United
states to have the right to maintain
an experimental station at the school,
and further, that all Indian students
IN the vicinity be permitted to attend
the school free of any charge for tut
ton.
The Herald is informed that Indian
Commissioner Luepp is back of the
bill and will use his influence to have
congress pass the measure which Is
also endorsed by Governor Buchtel,
and under these conditions the bill
should pass. This is one of the best
propositions this county could hope
for-not only Durango and La Plata
county, but the entire southwest sec.
ton.
And In this connection The Herald
desires TO again urge on the farmers
of this county the necessity of arrang.
ing to attend the short course farm.
ers' institute to be held In Durango
the week commencing Feb. 8. This
institute should be attended by every
farmer in the county. The cost will
be slight compared 10 the benefits
derived and the interest shown will
go long way towards securing the
school for agricultural instruction.
The Herald will keep this matter be
fore the people in hopes Of getting
every one interested.
