-HE COLONEL
HAS

" organized a new club to
supersede the old Ana
Mas Club, which, as a politi-
cal asset, has become stale
and Improbable. The new
club has been organized
especially for "crooks and
lackasses' and the Colonel
has named Judge Anderson,
of Indiana, as president, who
he declared, is an adept in
both characters. Other mem
bers nominated by the Colonel
are, former chief ustice Bald
win of Connecticut; John A.
Dix; Judge Holmes, Judge
Holt, and some other Justices
of the Supreme Court, with
plenty more candidates in
view. All of these have not
been formally declared "a
crook and a jackass', but they
belong to the same category;
and an appropriate name for
the club-from the Colonels
standpoint-would seem to be
the Crook and Jackass Club.
All who oppose Mr.. Roosevelt
are crooks, and all who do
not do his bidding are jack
asses; So. as to numbers, the
future of. the club is assured.

Will Wright. publicity agent of the
American Beet Sugar company, has
received letter from Mr.. Alfred Patek.
secretary of the Colorado State Board OF
Immigration. in which Mr.. Patek has ac-
cepted an invitation extended to him by

home. In practically every farming
magazine Of standing in the east. catchy

run by this department. advertising the
various advantages Colorado has to offer
to the different classes of farmers. These
advertisements are bringing already many
inquiries from prospective settlers who
want to know more about what is being
done in this state. Every communication
received is given close attention by the
immigration department. and specific in
formation on the line they have inquired
about is sent them. Various sections OF
the state cxeeling in that line is recon-
mended to them. and the chambers Of
commerce in those sections are notified.
As Rocky Ford and other Arkansas val

things, il is in position to receive much
good from the immigration department.

advantage Of the invitation to be shown
what is here.

INSPECT COLT PROJECT.
The Biggest Irrigation Proposition
In the West.

Messrs. Cover. Harsin and J. N. Kim
zey returned Monday evening from a tour
Of investigation Of the Colt irrigation en-
terprise. by which it is proposed to re-
claim about 200. 900 acres Of agricultural
land in Otero. Kiowa and Bent counties.
Of which an extended account was pub
lished in this paper a few weeks ago.
The visitors were immensely impressed
with the magnitude Of the project and its
vital Importance to this section OF the
Arkansas valley. and believe tha. the
three counties should lend every assis-
tanee to W. A. Colt and his associates
in their request that the state land board
plaza a reasonable valIe upon the land.
which is now the only stumbling block to
the eonsumm,tion OF the greatest irriga-
ton projee.in the western country.
MIR. Colt and his associates heartily en-
dorse the movement for the appointment
Of public lands commission to fix the
minimum price at which the state lands
should be offered at public auction
In Bent. Kiowa ard Otero counties

10000 acres OF lieu lands in one body

Of the cattle in. .erests. and is now in large

per acre revenue per annum. and under
present conditions are not even occupied

on the entire tract; yet it is all within
easy reach of railroad facilities and
growing towns.
The question the counties named wish
passed upon by the state at large.
through their representation on the land
board. is. at what price should these
lands be sold to actual settlers who are
willing to combine their efforts and spend
Their money for the upbuiiding Of this
vast body of land.
There-is possibility that this land can
be reclaimed by conserving the flood
waters Of the Arkansas river. in storage
reservoirs Of immense proportions, and
unusually large diversion canals. entail
ing large expense compared with any
former reclamation of lands in the Ar
kansas valley. With such project pro-
posed, should the land board ask an
average price for all the land sold in the
state (which It said is 81 so per aere)
or should this land be placed at mini
mum price Of say So SO to SIS per acre
and sold to actual settlers who would
soon become home builders and taxpayers
and return to the state and counties
more many times over in actual taxes
than is now paid on the FIVE cents per acre
rental for raising cattle.

ACREAGE INCREASING
Beet Sugar Production Is rlore Than
Holding Its Own

Quite often it has been asked if
beet sugar production is holding its
own in the United States. The ques-
ton is one that is undoubtedly of in
tercst and often asked by Arkansas
valley farmers. The following clip
ping from the National Farmer,
quoting Charles +. Saylor. govern
ment expert in sugar bcets, throws
much interesting information on the
subject OF sugar production of the
United States as whole. and It Is
also encouraging to note that lie as
an expert makes the assertion that
the sugar production is on the IN
crease in the United States. sI
His reference to the Western farm
crs seems to apply particularly to the
Arkansas valley sugar beet grower
this year. who reports conditions as
ideal for 4 record crop OF the beets
