PUBLIC LANDS.

Particular stress Is laid upon the
necessity of developing the irriga-
lion projects in Colorado and the
Middle West in the annual report
OF the secretary of the interior.
which was submitted to congress
The report states in part:
The development of dry farming
and the extension of irrigated areas
has brought under cultivation many
thousands OF acres of the public do
main that hitherto was considered
practically worthless. 1t is. therefore
necessary to very carefully consider
how the remaining portions of the
public domain should be used.
think 1t clear that the remaining
lands shuold be classified in accord
ance with the general plan outlined
in the report Of the commissioners
Of the general land office.
Under such classification the gov
ernment Could readily provide means
for the disposition of these land in
such a manner as to afford to the
homemaker the opportunity to ac-
quire the necessary kind and quantity
of land. The homestead law is not
applicable to much Of the balance
of the public domain. If the land Is
irrigated a much smaller amount
than 100 acres may be acquired
If it is a dry farming section, more
than 100 acres may be required.
at is probable in certain sections,
where dry farming is feasible. that
residence upon the land itself will
not be possible because Of the ab-
sence of portable water. 1t may thus
be necessary and wise to permit the
cuItivators of such areas to live in
communities some miles distant from
the farms and base final proof upon
cultivation and actual residence in
the neighbrohood. In other words,
1t is unwise to attempt to apply to
these areas now under consideration
the laws that were applicable to
totally different kind OF lands.

Advertising Colorado.

The railroads, commercial clubs,
and real estate men of Colorado are
now planning the advertising cam
paigns for 1909 that are expected to
bring thousands of new settlers to
the State.
The first fact for them to consider
in making their plans is that every
dollar spent in continuous advertising
in the right newspapers. will bring at
least double the returns, and usually
from four to ten times the returns
over the same amount spent in any
other form of advertising.
Booklets, well printed. illustrated
pamphlets. circulars. post cards. and
exhibits at fairs are valuable chiefly
in the follow UP" work Of advertis-
ing, but the large returns for money
invested come from continuous news
paper advertising.
The way to convince a man that
your locality Is the one place in the
The Lamar register., 1909-01-06

world for him Is regularly to call his
attention through his favorite paper
to the opportunities your scion Of
fers. At least half the money spent
in 1909 in advertising Colorado shoul
be spent for newspaper advertising,
and many sections will find it profit
able to expend three-fourths of their
advertising appropriations with the
papers.
Colorado pays out annually to
states east $4,000. 900 for pork and
pork products. We need Immediately
$4,000 expert hog raisers from the
corn-belt, and every one of them can
make more money here than he Is
now making. The way to reach these
farmers is through the responsible
farm papers Of the chief hoggrowing
statess-Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
and Missouri.
Colorado pays out annually $5.OO0,.
900 to Kansas and Nebraska farmers
for dairy products. Yet. on dry land
farms of eastern Colorado, the aver
age returns per COW. per year. are
$35 to $50. without feeding one
pound of grain. Expert Colorado
dairymen, who feed grain. are getting
from SIS to $50 per COW. per year.
Colorado offers great opportunities
for trained dairy farmers. The way
to get them here is to advertise in
the dairy papers of New England
New York, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Colorado pays annually to states
east 100000 for poultry and pOul-
try products. while the average net
yearly profit per hen, in Colorado
when handled by an expert is 50
double that of states east. The aver
age Colorado farmer loses money
raising poultry. He does not know
how. We need experienced poultry
men, and can get them by showing
the opportunities in their line in our
State through eastern poultry papers

BUILDING UP AGRICULTURAL
| COLORADO.

Everybody who has Travelled much
over Colorado must have been i'm
pressed with the slight extent of Its
agricultural development, as com
pared with the tremendous possibili-
lies. 1t is true that a great deal has
been accomplished in very short
time. The beet sugar industry has
grown to It's present large proper
lions in less than a decade. North
of Denver there is section which
Is we'll deserves to be called an ag-
ricultual paradise as any region OF
equal extent in the Mississippi Val
ley. Rocky Ford cantaloupes, Greele!
potatoes, Grand Junction peaches
these and several other products
are famous. but each is the special
product of a section small indeed in
comparison with the total area of
the state. Considered as whole
Colorado is not yet really an agri-
cultural state. though everybody here
knows that the time is not far off
when It will be, for 1t has both soil
and climate. The development OF at
least a third Of its area is hampered
by a lack Of water, but this can be
overcome in part by the extension
of irrigation works, and still further
by a better understanding of dry
farming methods.-Ex.

TWO DROWNED AT RESERVOIRS.
Two Citizens of Pueblo Lost by
Breaking Of Ice While Hunt
ing Near Queen Beach,.

News of a terrible tragedy in
which DR.. A. w. Scarlett and R.. j.
McNeeley, a prominent Missouri Pa
cific conductor, both of Pueblo. lost
their lives while hunting geese on tn"
King and Queen reservoirs south Of
shortly after midnight. and was con-
firmed at o'clock this morning.
The two men were on the ice of
one of the reservoirs when McNeely
broke through. He called for help,
and other members of the party
heard DR.. Scarlett respond. Hold
on. Mac, I'm coming" Then the ice
cracked and the silence of the grave
followed.
A search lasting for several hours
failed to show even where the two
men had gone Through the ice, as
there were several holes into any
one of which they might have
clipped.
Sheriff John Blair of Kiowa coun
ty, who was with the party, drove to

Second Game

Brentwood romped away from Pension
Bureau in the opening game in Section \
at American League Park yesterday.
The crowd that attended the game was
the smallest that ever assembled to Wit
ness an opening game in the ost-season
series. This can probably be accounted
for because of the final and deciding
game in the Sunday School League at
Thirteenth and D streets northeast.
Brentwood did al OF their scoring in
the first three innings. and that they did
not roll up a much larger score is due
TO the fact that they cid rot try. Pen
sion Bureau presented a team Of Grip
pies and substitutes, and their chances
with the team they had yesterday for
the highest honor in amateur baseball
is mighty slim.
When the game started they had but
nine men ready TO play. several being
substitutes. and with only cne PLAYER.

should not have even started IN the
game, as he has a bad hand. which was

Barnes did not held his opponents hit
less during the remainder Of the game,
but he did prevent them from scoring
any more runs. He was IN the box five
innings. and f he had started instead
of finishing the game. the score might
have been smaller.
Kerr was IN the box for the Capital
City League champions, and throughout
the game had the Pension Bureau out
ft completely at his mercy. Only three
hits were made or his delivery. and IN
the eight innings OF play sent thirteen
batters away on strikes.

Pension Bureau had plenty Of chances
in the field. They had twenty-one assists,
which VIII probably stand as a record.
They stole more bases than their op-

After the third inning Pension Bureau
put up a better game than they did at

they overcame their little case Of stage
fright.
