Government Land Agent Here
w. M. Gilcrsst. ~ agent Of the gen.

Denver, was in Keota Tuesday. He
states that the people Of Keota district
seem not to have taken advantage Of
the special leave Of absence granted by
congress to such large extent a. they
have At other places he has visited. An
unusually large per cent of our people
maintain constant residence on their
homsstsads, and few of them leave af-
ter receiving title to their land. County
division was mentioned and Mr.. Gilcrest
expressed the opinion that the proposed
line Of division between ranges 62 and
6S is entirely logical and proper. This
was his first visit to Keota, although he
passed over this line of the Burlington
in 1894, when there was only one station
between Sterling and Cheyenne and one
train crew made the round trip every
two days-if they had good luck. At
that time the only evidences of home
steading in this section of Colorado were
occasional abandoned and crumbling sod
houses Of settlers driven out by hard
times and drouth. Mr.. Gilcrest went
on to Stoneham Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-A sub
committee Of the house public lands
committee consisting Of Representatives
Taylor of Colorado. Mondell, Ferguson
and Pray held conference today with
Commissioner Bennett at the general
land Office regarding tho bills which
have been introduced in the house by
Taylor to provide for reducing the area
required for cultivation in enlarged
homesteads.
Representative Taylor's bill provides
that but twenty acres shall be cultivat-
ed tho second year and forty acres the

which will reduce the area to be culti-
waited from eighty to forty in the third
year Of entry with q proviso that when
proof is submitted at the end of the five
year term to complete the entry, it
shall be shown that one-fourth of the
entire entry, or eighty acres, is under

with the following reply from Secretary

Understand Adams will be retained
by Cleveland next season. In the event
q transfer were contemplated. it is
doubtful if he could be waived out of
the league"
This information was impaired to

that the local team must look to other

n THOUGH Frank Whitney
~ failed to stop Joe Seiger at
the Dixie A. c. last night,
the Fighting Carpenter, for the first
time. displayed a swell right-ha
punch. Had Seiger not been the
tough nut that he is, Frank would
have knocked him out in four or
five rounds.
1t was a corlling ten-round mill.
Whitney won by ten thousand
miles. He landed a million blows.
Seiger outclassed proved that he
is one of the gamest young men
that ever roamed around this neck
of the woods. He did his best and
never llinched under the heavy
punishment that was being served
him. Seiger was beaten decisively,
but he was a hero in defeat.
Whitney fought his fight with
one hand-his right. Franks south
paw was fractured in a battle in
St. Louis about a month ago and
he was afraid to use it to any ex-
tent. Not once did he use a left
jab. but hooked the left lightly half
a dozen times. He never hit with
the back of the hand. Had that
left been in shape, it's almost a
cinch that Seiger would have taken
the count.
Every round was the same. and

other was a nice right hook that
caught Whitney high on the head.
When the boys left the ring
Whitney didn't have scratch on
him. On the other hand, Seiger's
face was cut and pounded so badly
that his best friend wouldn't have
recognized him.
But Joe is game and against a
boy of his own style, say Walter
Little, for instance, he would prob
ably make a swell scrap.
The preliminaries were bearcats.
the card opened with four-round
tilt between Kid Superior and Kid
Young. They are a couple of pa
perWeights. but they sure did put
up slashing bout. Mike Saul
called it a draw and it was the best
decision possible, despite the fact
that few soreheads howled and
groaned.
Billy Van was carded to meet
Tommy LaVelle. The announcer
told us that Van had iced pedals,
and as he didn't show up, Kid
Meadows took his place. Meadows
was not in very good condition.
but he put UP a swell scrap until
the third round, when his legs went
back on him and the referee was
forced to stop proceedings and
award the decision to Lavelle.

Walcott would say.

to lose money if they don't put on

the long run they will prove Win
