RIDGE SYSTEM BEST

Some of our strawberry growers have
come to prefer the ridge system OF
planting. They take an ordinary break
ing plOw and throw two burrows to-
gether. This makes good wide ridge
three and half to four feet wide. a
roller or float is drawn over the ridges
so As to make the tops fiat and firm.
Water is run into the burrows between
the ridges until the soil is soaked to
the top. Then, two rows of plants are
set ON top of each ridge. When the
the ridge, the rows are made about
twelve to fifteen inches apart ana the
plants may be set twelve to fifteen
inches apart in the rows. The Hill
system is thus favored. Growers who
follow this plan say that it overcomas
the necessity of muching to keep the
the soil wet enough on the top of the
ridges, where the berries ripen, to soil
them
Sometimes the runners are allowed
to come together in the middle so as
to make IA solid matted row for the
second bearing season and for the third
year sort of renewal is effected by
taking a single shovel and busting out
the middles SO as to again make two
single rows.
! "~because of the extra dry condition
of the top soil those who have planted
thus far this month find it slow work,
which costs four or five times as much
as it should if the ground were more
moist, for the water is not yet running
in the bitches. 1t requires more care
in frming the soil around the ROOFS
instead of allowing the water to do 1t
in the irrigation. When the bitches
are opened and the water is running
this trouble will be obviated -F'ieIl

RECENT LAND DECISIONS

One having an entry must comply
with the law respecting settlement, i'm
provements and cultivation. When his
entry is attacked, he cannot wait until
the termination of that litigation be
fore he establishes residence or makes
any effort to comply with the law of
the entry.
A settler by honest mistake erects
his house outside the boundaries of his
claim is constructively resident upon
the land entered, if he in good faith
maintains residence upon the land upon
which his house was constructed and,
upon hearing of his mistake, removes
to the land entered. But it must be
shown that the mistake was honestly
made and that actual residence has
been maintained upon one tract or the
other.
Mere defects in proof or insufficient
water rights do not necessarily imply
fraud nor preclude a claimant from
supplementing such proof so as to meet
legal requirements under direction from
the commissioner. A contest against
an entry upon which final proof has
been submitted does not interfere with
the administrative power of the com
missioner to permit completion of proof
or the curing of any defect therein
where fraud or bad faith is not shown
Where a desert land entryman does
not include in his entry the full area
allowed by law, for the reason that the
vacant land adjoining that entry was
not susceptible of irrigation at the
date of original entry, he may, if sucl
adjoining land by reason of extension
of improvements, subsequently .becom.
irrigable, enlarge his original entry ST
as to include the full area allowed b,
law. This may be done by amendment
of the original entry where it has no

UNCLE SAM TIRED OF INTER
FERENCE IN UNCOMPAHGRE

Denver, April 2O.-The United States
government is tired of the continued
interference with the United States
reclamation engineers on the part of
landholders in the Uncompahgre irri-
CATION district, which includes the fa-
nous government tunnel at GunnisoE,
and today showed its displeasure by
filing suit in the federal court asking
for permanent injunction against
John A. Masters and fifteen others to
restrain them from making further
trouble.
These sixteen men, according to
United States District Attorney Ethel
bert Ward, who is handling the suit
for the government hold lands for the
first four or five miles at the head of
the canal, which, when constructed,
will water 1000 acres of desert lands.
The people below these landholders are
in urgent need of the water, but every
effort on the part of the engineers to
go on these lands to do their work Is
met with either an arrest at the hands
of constable or warning from some
justice of the peace.
The government claims that the
rights of way over these lands, which
are now held by these sixteen men, are
vested entirely with the government
by virtue of an act of congress dated
1890.
Last January John A. Masters hal
one of the government engineers arrest
ed for going on his lands. This is bu,
one of the annoyances to which the
government employees have been sub.
ed, and now Uncle Sam has decided to
call halt on such proceedings.

TAYLOR'S HOMESTEAD
BILL FACES FAILURE

Washington, April 26.-There were
predictions today that the Borah-Tay-
lor three-year homestead bill would
fail on account of the demands of the
ultra ra-conservationists and progressives
in seeking to amend the measure 50
that it would be practically worthless
as means of western advancement.
The conferees of the house, Taylor of
Colorado, Ferris of Oklahoma, and
Mondell of Wyoming, have reached an
agreement that the bill shall fail rather
than submit it to changes whereby
water powers, minerals and timber
could not become the property of the
settler. Repeated efforts to get the sen
ate conferees to pass the bill without
these amendments have failed.
"We believe it will be far better 10
allow the measure to fail of passage,
rather than to saddle it with amend,
ments practically giving the entrymAn
no title at all,'' said Representative
Mondell today.

HEAR SERMON ON LOVE
AND GET MARRIED

Grand Junction, April 29.IThe pow
er of the pulpit has never been better
eXemplifed in Grand Junction than
when after preaching his sermon on
"Love, Courtship and Marriage to a
crowded house at the Christian church
last evening, Rev. Elmer V. Huffer
solmenzed the wedding of Albert Voss
and Miss Ada York, both well known
young people of this city.
The sermon itself was a strong ap-
peal for more mature judgment in
selecting life partners; but the young
people asked that the knot be tied
Immediately after the worship service
had closed.
"At 1872 said the preacher, ga girl
wants to know who young man is.
At IS, with more serious purposes in
view, she is anxious to know what he
is. After marriage, when she is about
81, she is mostly concerned about

maids. "They are of no use to tn
country or to society," he asserted,
"and I propose that they should be
crowded away on some isolated island
where they won't get in the way of
civiization.''
Young people should not marry out
of their class, in Rev Huffer's opinion.
He contends that it is uncomfortable
for a young man to attempt to support
an heiress. "It's misfit marriag ge, -
he said
Rev. Huffer declared that more ser
mons needed to be preached on love,
courtship and marriage, and that text
books on this vital subject should be
used in the public schools.
The church was packed to the doors
and many were turned away.

GOOD ROADS, NOT USELESS

By C. II. Tavener.

By C. II. Tavener.
Washington, April 30.-Less govern
ment money for battleships and useless
political navy yards, and more for the
improvement of the public roads!
Every day the wisdom of this pro
posal is becoming more apparent to the
national lawmakers. The agitation for
road improvement is becoming more
and more pronounced, and it is gener-
ally conceded among the members If
of congress that it will be only a ques-
ton of time-and very short time
until this agitation finds expression in
legislation.
The champions of road improvement
do not want and do not demand thai
| any new expense be saddled onto the
government. Their program is the
essence Of simplicity and reasonable
ness, Coz all they ask is that tre gov
'lnment use money which is being
| wasted to give the nation better high
ways.
Up along the Maine coast there is 9
navy yard which cost the government
l2 million dollars. The only usefu
purpose it ever served was to create 8
lot of fat jobs for the political Friends
of former Senator Hale. No battle
ship ever entered this navy yord fol
the simple reason that the Atlantic
ocean at that point is not deep enough
to float battleship.
The good roads men demand that
instead of building useless navy yard
for the political benefit of senators
the money be spent on the roads, ST
that the farmer may more quickly ant
easily get his products to market, ant
so that land, now of little value be
cause of poor roads, may become valu
able and useful.
