RESEARCH
STATION
ASSURED
NECESSARY LAND IS PLEDGED
BY BUSINESS MEN-WIRE Is
SENT TO GRUBB WHO PROM
ISES MONEY NEEDED.

The land for the establishment Of
potato research station at or near
Greeley is assured. Word to this
effect was sent by night letter to
Eugene Grubb, the potato expert,
at Denver last night after long
session of the directors OF the Com
mercial club. The message said
that twenty business men would
pledge the ground necessary.
The action was taken to insure an
early start on the project, since the
government funds for this purpose
will not be available until next Ju-
ly. The condition of the potato
lands Tin this section urges the ne
cessity of immediate action.
MIR. Grubb was in Greeley con-
ferring with a number of business
men and growers Tuesday. He gave
the assurance that he could raise
the money to start the station in
operation if it was assured that the
land would be secured for five
years and that the aid demanded by
the government would be forth
coming.
1t is planned to ask for state aid
through a bill in the next legislat-
ure that will ask for $4,000, this
sum to be available at the rate of
$1,000 per year for five years.
President Lory of the State Agri-
cultural college will have the bill
drawn and will join with Weld and
other potato growing sections in an
effort to have it passed promptly.
1t is expected that the potato
growers convention to be held in
Denver in January will endorse such
bill. If this measure can be
passed it will insure the perma-
nency of the research station.

IRRIGATION
COMMITTEE IS
GOING AHEAD
Colorado Bankers Association Will
Get Reports ON Irrigation
Projects In tate

The irrigation committee ap-
pointed by the Colorado Bankers
association to examine irrigation
projects and report upon the value
of their securities to the banking
world, has alreaGy maze progress
which promises to stimulate that
industry. Yesterday it was report
ed that a large number OF projects
have applied for examination and
two are nearly finished. Chicago
bankers are waiting upon the ver-
dict OF the committee before sub
scribing to the bonds.
The bankers say they were forced
to take radical steps to reinstate
irrigation securities in the conf
dence OF investors, owing to the re-
fusal of Edward B. keating and DR..
b. l.. Jefferson of the state land
board to render any assistance,
after months of urgent demand.
We intend to urge law in the
next legislature creating board
whose sole duty shall be to investi-
gate these projects. and who shall
0. X. them before they are allowed
to issue any securities" said Frank
n. Briggs, president of the COM
mittee. This will stop all Wild
eating. There is apparently no
hope of securing any relief from the
state board"

SECRETARY

RRYAN'S FRIENDS DECLARE HE
WILL BE PREMIER OF CABI-
NET-MAY BE HE WILL TAKE
JOB OF TREASURER

New York. Dec. 20.-William
Jennings Bryan will be secretary of
state in the cabinet of Woodrow
Wilson IL he will accept this port
folio. Should he refuse. he will ac-
cept some other. probably the sec
retaryship OF the treasury.
This is learned directly from the
friends of the Nebraskan. They
stated that when Bryan and the
president-elect meet in this city on
Tuesday, Governor Wilson Will
make formal tender of the state de-
partment to the thrice-defeated
democratic candidate. with the
statement that If Bryan prefers to
have any of the other nine depart
ments of the government under the
Wilson administration he can make
his own selection.
1t was stated by these friends of
Bryan that at the present moment
he IL leaning more strongly toward
the secretaryship of the treasury
than any other cabinet portfolio.
William F. McCombs will be a
member of the cabinet. Wilson SO
says. The post to which McCombs
is to be appointed has not been de-
cided upon.
Governor Wilson declared that
he would abolish the daily recep-
tons which have taken so much OF
President Taft's time. Governor
Wilson intends to devote all of his
time to governing the United States
and as little as possible to shaking
hands with curiosity se-ASrs.
He will upset the tradition which
has precluded the newspaper cores
pondents from quoting the presi-
dent in the first person. also Wilson
will speak for himself when he has
anything to say and will not entrust
his thoughts to the Interpretation
OF another person.

Kearnys body was found entan-

There was every indication that
Kearny had met death soon after

Further improvements Of the Al

bany Hotel, Denver, to Meet the
Constant Growing Demand for
Rooms With Bath
( The Albany hotel of Denver. dur
ing the year OF 1912. has expended
$163,OOO in improvements. all to
give the Albany's many patrons i'm
proved accommodations at q popu-
sar price. The business of the AL
bany since these Improvements
have been made. has surpassed the
most sanguine expectations of the
owners.
The constant demand for rooms
with bath at popular price Is
steadily increasing. and to meet
these requirements the Albany ho-
tel has set aside q large sum to ex-
pend in the next few weeks in i'm
provements and to give The Albany
still larger number of rooms with
bath. at $3.50 and $500 per day.
$l63.0O0 for improvements Is a
large amount of money to be ex-
pended by one hotel In \ single
year, but The Albany management
has found this expenditure of
money was wisely made, as the
constant increase of patronage JUS
tifies further expenditure to fill the
long-felt want, that of sufficient
rooms with bath at $3.50 and $500
per day.
Further Improvements are also
contemplated on the ground floor
which will add to The Albany's al

Legislature
tFort Collins Express J

Judge Stover has returned from
the meeting of the County Judges
association held in Denver the past
week at which time ne with Judges
Glass and Thomas were appointed a
committee on proposed legislation.
Judge Slower said Saturday that
this committee will submit num-
Der of new bills at the next meeting
of the association. which will start
January % in Denver and last two
or three days.
1t is planned to draw up bills to
abolish the present fee system. SIM
plify probate procedure, and make
some additions to the iNnacy laws.
1t was the County Judges associa-
ton which proposed the present
probate procedure law and the
same organization has written many
statutes in reference to the protec-
ton of children.
Judge Slower visited the girls in
tustrial school at Morrison and
found II in fine shape. The discip-
line is excellent and the health of
those at the school good. The en-
tire institution is getting alone fine.
In the last six years it was not
necessary to resort to corporal pun
ishment. The school, according to
Judge Stover. is not operated as a
penal school but as an ordinary in
stirution of learning, where domes-
tic science and all kindred branches
can be studied.
The judges will make special
effort to have the fee system abol-
ished and they feel that the people
would have done away with it at the
last election had they understood
the bill.
