Will open 10000 Acres of Land.

Durango. Entire southwestern
Colorado has become excited over the
official announcement received from
the Department of the Interior in
Washington that on April II, 10000
acres of land on what is known as the
Fort Lewis Mesa near Durango. will
be thrown open for settlement. The
lands will be opened to settlement, it
is understood, under the new home
stead laws, which are now before
Congress and providing that the home
steader shall live on the land three
years instead of five and only seven
months out of the year instead Of
twelve. Every acre of land to be in
cluded In this opening is as good as
there is to be found in the state or
Southwest. The soil is red loan In
most places and so rich that, with
proper climatic conditions, it will be
possible to raise the finest of crops
by the dry farming process.
