Mr.. Featherst@pe exerted himself to
the utmost to bring about the election
of the late Col. James A. Hoyt, and
during his whole career he has been
not only a consistent but working
prohibitionist. Frankly, We haze not
the greatest faith in the political sa
gacity Of prohibition party. The
prohibitlonists often take the wrong
step when the right step is planest
and easiest, and if they choose
any other leader than MIR. Feather
stone, he conScntimg to be their candi-
date, they will richly deserve defeat
Tor their want of ordinary discern
meat.
The Advertiser has not word to
say about Gov Anscl, except that he
has made a good record, but The Ad-
vertiser would support MIR Feather
stone should he be induced to enter
the contest, regardless of the opposi-
ton to him. We would support him,
although he does not represent our
views on the whiskey traffic question.
While this proposition is shaped large
ly by personal considerations we
could not take it We're Mn Feather
stone not exceptionally fitted for the
leadership in the affairs of the state
and worthy OF the cinfdence OF all
intelligent voters and taxpayers.

No, dear friend. The prohibitionists
in this state are not bound to the Anti

have given valuable assistance to the
cause, it is by no means master of
the situation. The league may have
accomplished some good. and doubt

in spite of the lack of wisdom on the
part OF Rev. j. l.. Harley; but the lea
que does not control the politics of

The prohibitionists of the state have
been lighting a long and hard struggle

There is glory enough for the old

Tram Line for Greeley

There would be every advantage
to Greeley in the installation of such
a line" said Mr. knight this morn
ing. The popular statement that
business would be injured by such a
move is a fallacy. The history of
other towns which have been con-
nected with metropolis by trolley
lines proves this and Boulder is an
example in this state
Such line would increase busi-
ness in this city. ] cannot say luat
/ am exactly looking over the coun-
try with the immediate end in view
of establishing such line, but that
is one of the factors which has
brought me on this trip.
There is room in Greeley for such
a road. 1t must come sooner or later
and ] would guess that it will be il
within two years"
Mr.. Knight went back to DepveI

trip over the interurban line between

Shafroth Tells OF Irrigation

Chicago, Dec. 7.-As chairman of
the committee Governor Shafroth
presented a mass of figures and sta
tistics showing the enormous devel-
opment of Colorado's agricultural
resources under irrigation and ar
gued that if the roads would reduce
the rates so many settlers would be
attracted to Colorado that the roads
would derive greater profit from
the freight business than the amount
OF the tickets could possibly bring
them.
In 1907, he said, with s45 rate
the roads carried $3.50 people to
Colorado from the east. In 1905.
when s25 rate was made for tue
Epworth league convention and A
$50 rate for the G.. A. r. encamp-
ment they sold 126.075 tickets. In
| 1909, with $50 rate. there were
/ 101 900, and with a s25 rate. as
( asked by the people of Colorado, he
said that $4,000 people could be
/ induced to visit the state next year.
We are expecting a great influx
] of people into the state next year"
said the governor, "and the number
would be greatly increased with low
er rates. Colorado produces twice
as much wheat per acre as MANY
other states, there are now 3,40O, 900
acres of land under irrigation, and
an additional million acres are being
put under irrigation.
"One man alone, Camneld, now
has contracts for s2O,00O,00O of ir-
risation work, either under construc-
ton or to be started next year. Egypt
with 100000 acres of irrigated
land, supports population of 0, 900
600. and our lands are as fertile as
theirs
Although Colorado is principally
renowned as mining state, the val
ne of our agriculture products this
year will be over $3.50, 900, 900, three
or four times as much as our mineral
products. There are thousands ot
acres of government land open fol
l settlement and the new law which
= permits a man to locate on 800 acres

Canon City, Dec. PLANS for one
of the biggest irrigation projects
ever undertaken in the west were
made public here this morning and
these, when carried ont, will trans
form the Arkansas valley from Can

plain into an Eden of productive
beauty.
TWO hundred thousand acres in
Pueblo and Fremont counties unriv-
aled in natural fertility will be re-
claimed and be brought under inten-
sive cultivation within the next two
years For the past two years var
ious corps of engineers have been
husily engaged in the Arkansas val
ley in the mountains. along the water
sheds and along the Arkansas and
its tributaries, oStensibly surveying
for railroads and other enterprises.
but in reality working out the pre-
liminary details of this great irriga-
tion scheme. So quietly and secretly
have they worked that 1t was not
definitely known until today what
their mission really was.
Eight million dollars will be ex-
pended for construction work alone
in the gigantic project and all of this
vast sum will be distributed from
the local offices of the Canon City.

AS is shown by the table the value
in Colorado crops per acre eNtetus
that of other states by larger mar
Gin than the WELD This is due TO
the fact that the quality OF the Colo
RADIO crops is in almost all cases bet
ter than that in the other states
named. As an example the weight OF
oats in most OF the states named Is
from thirty-two TO thirty-tour pounds
per bushel. while the weight OF Colo
RADIO oats is frequently fifty pounds.
The averages given are for both
irrigated and non-irrigated lands
The crops for irrigated lands are
much larger than the average the
yield being frequently double and
treble the averages given, or even
greater. Cases are given where the
yield of oats has been as large as
f47 bushels per acre and of pota-
toes S47 bushels.
The fruit-growing industry is also
touched upon briefly, and among
the most interesting comparisons CIV
en- is one showing that Colorado pro-
duced this year 500 more cars of ap-
ples than the states of Washington.
Oregon, Utah. Idaho, Montana and
New Mexico combined. Since the
public has for some time been edu-
Gated to consider the Northwest the

has never yet enjoyed the distinction
to which it is entitled as an apple
producing commonwealth. The fig
