FARMERS AND FORT
LEWIS INDIAN SCHOOL

Mr.. Editor:
A short time ago A. l.. Nathan. presi
dent of the Durango board of trade,
received letter from Senator Gug
genheim, in which it was stated that
an extension of one years time had
been given the state TO accept the
governments gift of the Fort Lewis
Indian school. Therefore, unless the
state accepts the gift within a year
the whole thing will be sold to the
highest bidder The whole thing con
sists of 1000 acres of coal land and
$3.50, 900 worth of buildings, and il is
easy 10 guess who the highest. in
fact, who the only bidder will be If
the state does not accept this valuable
gift, it will probably be sold TO the
Southern Pacific Railroad company for
about S75.OO0, the buildings will be
moved away, and Durango and the
farmers will lose The trade of four
or five hundred people.
II looks Ike there is plan afoot
to put this scheme through and last
Saturday the Farmers union took the
initiative in blocking it. The organ
lied farmers do not propose to let this
valuable market slip away from them
IL they can help it, and the first step
they have taken to prevent it was
the adoption of the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, for the lack of funds, the
state has so far failed to accept the
governments gift of the Fort Lewis
school, and whereas. if, within a year
the state does not make provision foi
the acceptance of the gift on the terms
prescribed, the school and land viii
be sold 10 the highest bidder, and
whereas the highest bidder will prob
ably be some coal monopolist who will
buy the land for speculation and move
the buildings away, and whereas, the
farmers will he thus deprived of an
produce. Therefore, be II resolved
that Governor Shafroth should at once
declare this states intention in regard
to this important matter, and if there
is no likelihood of an appropriation
being made that will enable the state
to accept the gift within a year. then
every farmer and every friend of farm.
ers in this district should petition con
gress to retain the property and con
tinue The Indian school, and be 1t fur.

olutions be at once sent to the govern.
