College Land Ordered Sold.

Denyer.-The sale of 5000 acres of
Montezuma valley land, belonging to
the State College OF Agriculture at
Fort Collins has been ordered sold by
the State Agricultural Board. The sale
of this land which will be made by the
State Land Board is one of the larg-
est that has been attempted for some
time. 1t is believed that the average
price received for the land will be 20
an acre. This will mean fund OF
S160,000 for the state school. The
principal derived from the sale of this
land is kept intact and the Fort Col
Inns college receives the interest.
The agricultural board met with the
land board at the State house in Den
yer and went over the situation thor
oughly. An irrigation project, which.
when completed, will cost more than
81 ,000,O is now under way in Monte
yuma county. Water is taken from
the Dolores river by a tunnel and
spread over valley that is said to
contain some of the finest fruit land
In the state. Part of the land that
10 in the Montezuma valley irrigation
district has been under cultivation for
years. Large tracts of raw land will
be watered by the completion of the
project.
The large tract of state land lies In
the center of the valley and is de-
clare dto be some of the best in that
section of the state. The people of
the district are extremely anxious to
get this land in the project as it will
be the home of scores Of homestead
ers as soon as 1t can be irrigated. Rep
resentatives of the district have ap
peal to the agricultural and land
boards to sell the land as it would be
a check on their project II It was al
lowed to lie idle.
Two of the members Of the board IA
vored the retention of part of the
land.

Favors Homesteaders.

Observation-Disclosures, and what he
considers more just, terms of proof for
homesteaders under the law, permit
ting 320-acre entries in arid districts,
will be fought for by Representative
Martin of Colorado.
In a bill he introduced he makes
provision for the cultivation of 20
acres during the first year of occupa-
tion, instead of 40 acres, as provided
by the present law, and of 40 acres
in the second year, instead of so acres.
1T is manifestly unfair" said Mar
tin, ito require settlers to primarily
cultivate larger proportions of land on
which it is apparent that they cannot
make a ready living, than is required
under the 160-acre homestead law.
Il consider the stipulations congress
has imposed in regard to acquiring the
320-acre tracts more exacting than
they should be, and expect to make
fight next winter to have them modi-
fed
At meeting of the house commit
tee ON mines and mining Representa-
tive Taylor was appointed chairman
or subcommittee OF seven members,
which is to investigate the placing of
experiment stations of the bureau of
mines.
During the vacation months the sub
committee will examine the claims of
the various localities in that regard
and submit recommendations to the
committee. Representative Taylor Sc
cured the promise of Chairman Henry.
of the House committee on rules, to
call up the Guggenheim-Taylor bill,
granting an additional million acres of
land to Colorado, and also the Warren
homesteaders' relief measure, granting
leave of absence until April Is, next.
This insures the passage of both
measures during the present session,
both having passed the senate.
