TRY TO CAPITALIZE

CONSOLIDATION OPPONENTS
MAKE WEIRD GUESS
Say 1876 Complimentary Votes Rep
resent Strength of Those Who
Favor Union with Los
Angeles

SAN PEDRO, March 11.-Trying to
make political capital with which to
fight consolidation, the unfair oppon-
ents to union with Los Angeles who
yesterday spent much money to defeat
the exclusion election are now claim
ing that the 125 complimentary votes
which were cast For Exclusion" rep
resent the total strength in the city of
San Pedro of those who believe that a
union with the metropolis win be the
making of this city and harbor
So unfair are these narrow minded
opponents to any kind of Improvement
over the now intolerable rule in this
city that they choose to ignore the
conditions which existed last Novem-
Der when the petitions for the exclu-
sion election were circulated, at which
time there was no law allowing san
Pedro to consolidate with Los Angeles.
Through the senator from this dis
trict, who is supposed to represent the
wishes of the majority of his constitu-
ents, the minority opposed to consoli-
dation nearly succeeded in retaining
that minority rule which is so beneti-
cial to them.
Unwilling to concede that the exclu-
sion election was asked for in good
faith, and was found unnecessary by
which was finally passed by the legis-
lature in spite of their senator, the To-
cal paper which represents these inter
ests dubs the election of yesterday IAN
expensive fake"
Attitude Amuses Majority
Apparently the minority opposed to
consolidation, who spent SO much OF
their own money yesterday, do not re-
member to what extent the taxpayers
will be put to pay for the special legal
counsel, the Southern Pacific attorney,
who was hired to defend the unwilling
trustees who fought the election call
in the district court of appeals.
The fair-minded voters who were
ready to exclude if necessary, but who
saw the wisdom in the request of the
consolidation committee that the cleo
ton be voted down as the way was now
clear to consolidate the whole city in
one election, are greatly amused at the
attitude now assumed by the minority
opposition, who apparently are more
concerned over the good dollars they
have spent to defeat the issue than
they are over the few dollars of the
taxpayers which will simply leave that
much less for the expensive city gov
ernment to spend.

Change Should Be Made

The Meeker Herald comments at
some length upon the fadvisability Of
an exchange Of territory between
Routt and Rio Blanco counties. The
eastern portion Of the latter county,
all Of the residents Of which are
practically psrt and parcel of the
Yampa community and are cut of
by mountains from other portions OF
their own county, should be trans
ferred to Routt county, and Rio
Blanco should acquire certain por-
tiOns Of western Routt county, where
the people In all their interests are
practically part Of Rio Blanco.
Every argument Of justice is favor
able to the exchange, and no valid
objection can be raised, but the
Herald, while endorsing 1t, seems to
feel that it cannot be effected. That
papers remarks were called forth by
the recent item In The Leader, telling
of the land omce's ruling that the
settlers of eastern Rio Blsnco must

An exception has now been made,
however, in the cases of the settlers

Fail Plovins

When virgin soil In this new coun-
try or that which has lain undisturb-
ed for several years is broken up 1t Is
always best to plow deep from the
beginning, for the deeper mineralised
layers will be about A. fertile as any,
except the top inch or two. 1t is
wise, too, never to plow the came
depth twice In succession. In gen.
eral, fall plowing should be from
seven to nine or ten inches and
spring plowing from Ave to seven
inches deep. A large land company
is now plowing ten inches deep
tract of 1900 acres few miles east Of
Denver. There may be special CAGES
in which these rules do not apply
and these have often been described
In this paper. The soil is plowed In
order to loosen up Its texture and get
air into it as we'll as to turn under
stubble, manure, ETC., to make
humus. Killing weeds Is another
object accomplished by plowing. Al
ter soil has been thoroughly pulver-
lied to great depths, so that there is
no danger of turning up packed clay,
the deeper the plowing the better the
crops. But the cost also increases
with the depth, 30 that ordinarily 1t
does not pay to pillow more than about
ten inches deep, but this item does
