NEW SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY
LAND BOARD
ACTION DUE TO GOVERNOR
In Conformity With Governors In
tention to Raise Revenues of the
State-State Should Get ~
Much per Acre ~ an
Individual

Through the efforts of Governor
Shafroth the state land board yester-
day established new system for pric-
ing state lands by which their SELL
ing price will be from 80 to SO per
cent higher than ever before. Gov
ernor Shafroth himself insisted upon
the raise. He said the state has been
selling it's lands too cheaply. That
it is in the land business as thor
oughly as any private firm to make
money, and that the people of the
state might as we'll realize that now.
AS result of this action only one
sale of land was made yesterday by
the board. Bidders were present
but refused to bid at the stiff prices
set by the board at the instance OF
Governor Shafroth. The action Is in
conformity with the governors
avowed intentions of raising the rev.
enues of the state, yet he has also
announced his intention of having
an economical administration.
What the effect will be in the de-
velopment of the state is difficult to
tell. If bidders refuse to buy state
land at the new prices, for this per-
centage of increase will be main
tanned in all future land sales, ac-
cording to the governor, the revenue
will not be increased at least, though
the state may be richer in land. But
one of the governors favorite bills
was that creating bureau of immi
grafton for the purpose largely of
bringing settlers into the state, SELL.
ing lands through the free use of
, printed matter and similar devices
OF increasing the population.
Governor Shafroth is in favor of
raising all appraisements. For in
stance, one tract of 400 acres was ap-
came up for bidding yesterday the
board fixed its selling price at $50
an acre. Another piece appraised
at $5 an acre was offered at $40.
The policy of the land board has
been in the past to let the land go
at little less than the average cost
to help populate the state, but Gov
ernor Shafroth thinks the state
should get as much money as pri-
vate individuals.
On $40 acres of farming land in
| Logan county the offer was $40 an
acre. the appraisement S12. The
| board held that the land was worth
| $40 an acre.
| On d section of land in Weld coun-
ty the offer was Slo an acre. The
board held it at S25 an acre.
In tract of $40 acres in Chey
enne county the board raised the Of
fer from $3.50 to IS.
On a tract of $50 acres of pasture
land in Pueblo the board doubled
the offer of So.
This same policy prevailed on
tracts in Yuma, Kit Carson. Weld
and other counties.

SHOULDN'T MARRY
INSIDE THE YEAR
MANY MARRIAGES. ARE ILLEGAL
Pueblo Judge Says Divorces Must
Wait Full Year

A Pueblo judge rendered Il de-
cision Saturday that marriage was
null and void where either or both
of the contracting parties had been
divorced within a year.
A decree of divorce in Colorado
explicitly states that neither of the
parties can marry, except they re-
marry each other, within one year.
To evade this law many divorce IS
leave the state to get married and
then come back According to the
Pueblo judge every one of these
marriages are Illegal and the con
tracing parties are amenable to the
law. Illinois has the same law and
the supreme court of that state has
handed down an opinion in line
with that of the Pueblo judge.
According to this there are Il good
many Illegal marriages in Colorado.

tie effect. according to long dis
sertation on tie subject by the Off
GERS and aldermen Tuesday evening.
1t was decided to try new scheme.
and it is possible that few drivers
may be landed in the cooler before
sundown of even date. The marshal
was advised to improvise trap TO
few fines, and incidentally to save
a few lives while it is yet time.
Last Sunday Eighth avenue was
veritable race course and many
machines came down the hill at forty
miles an hour.
With the exception of a half dozen
local men who are pretty well known
and will be under strict surveillance
for the future, it is believed by the
officers that most of the offenders
are strangers. Signs stating the
speed limit are placed at the head
of the main streets entering the city
and in the future no excuse other
than II good stiff fine will be consid-
cred.
This rule refers to motorcycles AS
well as autos. Better keep you,
eye peeled for the corners, and II
you see man step out from benin
tree and drop his flag or light, you
will know that another spotter at
the next corner will catch your time
Eight miles in the fire limits anu
fifteen on the outskirts is not very
speedy. but from now on it goes, say
the officials.
The city clerk has issued total
of l44 auto licenses and OF these
about twenty-five are motorcycles.
Besides these many OF the farmers
own machines. and there is seldom
day that from ten to twenty strange
machines do not pass through town
so the necessity for more strehu-
Gus regulation is evident.

X. A. Pence, who is a deacon in

Sunday morning, that he held an in

congratulated the men on their splen-

Denver, as it shows pretty plainly
to what Mr. Pence is accustomed,
but it also shows that the Ault men
are in the ranks of the churchgoers.

MANY OBJECTIONS AT ADJOURN
ED COUNCIL MEETING
CHANGES In ORDINANCE
Property Owners Along Sixth Avenue
StrenuOusly Object to Granting
Right-Of-Way for the Union
Pacific Switch Track
on ThOrOughfare

The city council met in adjourned
session last Friday. but no definite
action was taken upon the proposed
franchise granting the Union Pacific
right-of-way for a switch track on
Sixth avenue.
Some changes have been made in
the ordinance which was reported IN
by the judiciary committee at the
last meeting and it is desired that
the new draft pass through the same
committee for its approval. rms
was impossible last evening. as AL
derman Hays of this committee was
not present.
The clause which limited the road
to the west side of the street was
eliminated and in its place was sub
stituted the restriction that spurs
should be constructed only when alb
solutely necessary for industrial pur-
poses.
The city attorney also believed
that it would be useless to leave
the clause relating to the adjustment
of switch charges between the Union
Pacific and other roads over TINS
switch, as the interstate commerce
commission had exclusive Jurlsdic-
tion over all such controversies. The
nuestion arose that there was a Ia
bility of the laws made by the inter-
state commerce being illegal, ana ID
that case the other roads would be
at the mercy of the Union Paclhc
unon .e switch track in question.
Howe err if the interstate commerce
commission. which has its inception
from the government itself, cannot
regulate such traffic it is BESIDE the
nuestion to think that the city couh-
ell could make any such laws or reg
ulations Arguments along these
lines lasted for couple OF hourS,
There we're other objections ohered
from four or five property holders
along Sixth avenue.
Attorney Haynes appeared IN De
half of George Spear, who claims
that he still holds a rtght-ot-Wav
along Sixth avenue for an eiec'ilc
line which was granted couple OF
years ago, He desired the council
Ia DELAY the matter until the ques-
tion of his franchise was decided by
the supreme court
Mr.. Klug. who owns livery sta
HE on the avenue, made strenuous
and thought the company
sbould be made to give an iudemnl-
swing bond to insure the property
holders against damage, The mayor
stated that the council was slVlhs
the matter a great deal of time ana
both in meetings ana
ont Of meetings, and was consider
irc the interests of Greeley and the
.areotest number of its people as the
vital question at issue.
ON wednesday night next the COM
mittee will report on the new ordin-
1nce and its was inferred that ac-
lion would be taken either one way
or tbe other at that time.
