COUNTY ASSESSORS

The county assessors OF the
State were asked to meet in Dem
yer Wednesday and some IS re-.
sponded. They were urged by the
governor and state board Of equal
ization to raise the general ASSESS
ments from 33i TO 40 per cent Of
full valuation in order to meet the
appropriations Of the states needs.
This the assessors refused To do
by a vote OF q to -.
Two reasons were made; one
Was that the assessors have fol-
lowed the state boarl in valuing
tho corporations at 33A per cent;
another IL that the assessment
schedules have been made aud il
would canse u great deal Of extra
work to go over all Of the sched.
ules and make the necessary
changes.
Again the assessors seemed to
think the state board should set
the proper example by assessing
the corporations. that extend over
the state. at 40 instead OF 33a per
cont Of their full valuation.

ONE YEAR AT CANON

The friends Of F. w. Beidler of
Del Norte were made sad Tuesday
when a sentence Of one year in the
penitentiary at Canon City was
imposed on him for embeaRlsment.
1t seems that Mr.. Beidlenileas in
trusted with funds, come q which
from time to time he converted to
his personal use, expecting to re-
place them whom called for. But
unfortunately he failed to make
good. The amount 20 appropriat-
ed was $50 or thereabout.
Mr.. Beidler is a man Of more
than ordinary ability and . man
Of good address.
He was a candidate last fall on
the republican ticket for county
superintendent Of schools but was
beaten by Elmer Underwood.
We are sorry that some Of his
good friends did not come to his
relief and save him from the
humiliation and Disgrace for which
he and his family must suffer dur.
ing their lifetime.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

The Fort Garland land scheme
was such a financial success that
four others along the same lines
have been inaugurated: The Baca
Grant Development, The Oklaho-
ma Land and Colonization and
San Isabel and the San Luis Val
ley Land and Irrigation compa-
MES.
There are some large prizes
offered to tempt thousands of buy
ers to take chances on buying 5
and 10 acre farms.
The Baca offers a 100000 gold
mine and the San Luis offers a
$4,000 ranch a. prizes which
every buyer hopes TO draw. Then
there are lots Of little sweets, such as
town lots in small cities which as
yet do not appear on the map.
1t is said that the thousands
who gambled in the Fort Garland
proposition and lost took their
blank prizes in good part-charac-
teristic of gamblers and did not
"squeal."
Good lands in the San Luis val
ley sell readily at good prices and
do not need any gold mines thrown
in to ssweeten q bargain."
What the Valley wants is farm
ers and not CANDLES.

Dairy Day at
The A. Y. P. Fair

September 4 has been set apart as
Dairy Day at the Alaska Yukon ac-
ific Exposition, and dairymen from
many parts of the United States and
Canada will be present and take part
in the demonstrations. President
J. Rose, of the Washington State
Dairymen's Association will bring
ten of the best COWS in the state to
the grounds and will keep them in a
tent for several days and make prac-
tical demonstrations with the patent
mixers.
"Ihese little machines. ''said Pres
ident Boss. "will revolutionize the
dairy business, when once their mer
its are fully recognized" Milking
by machinery may sound a little
"phony'' to some folks. but it's a
success. and what used be to hard
task under the new eystem will be a
decided pleasure. The great draw
back to the dairy business is in find
ing men who are capable and willing
to do the milking, but with these
little machines a 14-year old boy
can milk as many COWS as five men
under the old system and do it bet
