Because the Southern Ute Indians
would not farm their fertile lands. and.
In fact, would not stay any length of
time on The reservation allotted to
them. an appeal was made to con
gress. with the result that part of
the reservation was ordered opened to
settlers. Congress last year passed an
act authorizing the state land board
OF Colorado TO open the land for set
| tlement. providing the state would oh
tain the necessary capital TO build an
| irrigation system. with reservoirs, 10
thoroughly reclaim the land. It was
| stipulated that the water should he
sold at cost, In ten annual payments.
The actual settler was thus encour.
aged to enter upon the land and make
his home.
The state Of Colorado was not long
In securing responsible men to build
the irrigation system, and the result
has been that, on July 10, the state
land board Will hold drawing at liz.
nacio. Colo, 10 distribute 5000 acres
of flrst-class fruit land This land was
formerly part of the Southern Ute
indian reservation, and is located in
the famous Pine River Valley. about
twenty miles from the thriving town
| of Durango. on the Denver a. Rio
Grande railway and when under cul-
| tivation should make one OF the most
perfect and prosperous fruit growing
districts in the state.
| This distribution of Indian land
gives an opportunity TO settlers to Sc
cure now. at the very first cost OF the
land from the national government, 40
TO 100 acres of land, In one of the
| greatest apple growing districts In the
country, where water can be secured
for irrigation.
Do you realize what an advantage
this means to those who are looking
for an orchard home. to practically
get the land from the government. and
to have an irrigation company supply
water for your first years crop. and
give you ten years to pay for the wa

When those who have bought deed

money can be made growing fruits, II
stands to reason that the man wht

10 the state board of normal school

Disraeli dearly loved joke at the
expense of others. An author who
had sent his latest effort in fiction to
him received the following compli-
mentary acknowledgment:
II thank you for the book you sent
me and will lose no time in reading it"

weak" fierce Radical once aid to
Disraeli.
1T is because they are in weak
place." was the reply
An incident in the life Of the late
Lord Rosslyn shows how acute was
the sense of humor in Disraeli. What
can we do with Rossyln?" he asked Of
colleague.
'sMake him master Of the buck
hounds, as his father was" suggested
the latter.
NO" replied the premier; .he swears
far too much for that We will make
him high commissioner to the Church
of Scotland" And such he was made.

FIND TIME FOR JOKING
Little Work Required Of Apportion
rnent Committee.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 6.-The first
Joker of the session came when AS
semblyman Scott introduced resolu-
ton in which it was stated that AS
semblyman Ingram as chairman of the
committee on appointments had but
two bills referred to him and these had
afterward gone to other committees
and that he had no use for a tin box
to keep bills, therefore it was resolved
by the assembly 3'the superintendent
OF public property concurrin /" that
the box should be returned to the SUI
perintendent.
Mr. Ingram in reply set forth 1t was
true he had no bills at present, but the
box was necessary in order to keep
in safety the receipt which he had re-
ceived for the bills that he turned over
to other committees. Speaker Ban
croft said that in spite of his having
been charged with being unfair in a
former ruling he would have to rule
this resolution out of order to be con-
sistent with a former ruling.

A Maker Of Bulls.

Some excellent bulls are credited to
William Aroiin, who was London
police Judge in the thirties of the last
century. He once remarked to coun
sci, s'If you can show precisely at
what moment the offense was commit
ted and prove that the prisoner was
not there when he did it, he could not
possibly have done it." And he sagely
added, 1--WE cannot divest ourselves OF
common sense In court Of Justice"
OF a similar character was an axiom
he once delivered himself of, which
has been maliciously fathered on many
other occupants Of the bench, IF ever
there was a case of clearer evidence
than this case, this case is that case"

GERMAN FLOOD
IS DISASTROUS
Water Flows in Streets OF
Several Cities.
HIGHEST in FIFTY YEARS

Railroads Over the Continents of the
Rhine on the North Side Have Been
Swept Away-Ten Persons Reported
Drowned at Nordhausen--River Pc
gnitz is Flowing Through the
Streets of Nuremberg-Many Miles
of Territory Are Flooded.
Floods caused by several days OF
heavy rain and warm weather are TAX
ing on a serious aspect in many parts
of Germany. The first fatalities are
reported from Nordhausen, where ten
persons were drowned.
At Nuremberg the Pegnitz rose
twelve feet and is flowing through the
lower streets of the city. The water
is higher than it had been for thirty
three years. The newspapers of MI
remberg have suspended publication.
Frankfort-on-theMa reports the

threatening in the territory adjacent
to the city. The town of Herdecke is
flooded and,a number of dams in the
vicinity of Hagen have been carried
away.
Several railroads over the continents
Of the Rhine on the north side have
been swept away and all trains from
Cologne up the river are sent over the
tracks on the south bank.
At Giessen the River Lain is sixteen
feet above normal, the highest in thir-
ty years. The valley between Giessen
and Wetzler looks like an immense
lake. The rivers of Silesia also are
high and many miles of territory are
flooded.
The railroad bridge at the mouth
of the River Lain has been swept
away. Seven. miners returning from
the potash mines near Brockhausen,
Brunswick, were drowned in the flood
and three other victims have been re-
ported This makes total of TWEEN
ty casualties.

All Senatorial Candidates.

All Senatorial Candidates.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 8.-Legislative
investigation of the charges of corrupt
expenditure of money by senatorial
candidates in the September primary
campaign and election now is certain.
After working nearly three days, the
conferees of the two houses reached an
agreement, which, if approved by the
senate and assembly, will result in a
thorough inquiry
The resolution provides for the ap-
pointment by the presiding officers of
each house of three senators and five
assemblymen to investigate fully,
thoroughly and fairly into the manner,
means and method by which the lasc
primary campaign is claimed to have
been corruptly or unlawfully conduct
ed. and every charge of corrupt or UNI
lawful conduct or acts on the part OF
any candidate for United States sena-
tor in the last primary campaign and
primary election"
On the seventh ballot taken for
United States senator Stephenson re-
ceived 60 out of 1913 votes, being less
than a majority.
Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 9.-United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson will
very shortly file his expense account
over which there has been much spec
ulation in connection with the primary
election.
His friends say he will appear volun-
tarily before the special Investigating
committee of the legislature which ex-
poets shortly to investigate charges
OF alleged corruption filed by Senator
Blaine.
