Denver, Aug. 19.-An important
meeting of the state land board under
its new president, V. T. Hoggatt, re-
Gently appointed by the governor to
succeed DR.. jefferson, will take place
today. The object of the session is
to discuss the plan of the new presi-
dent in the boards dealings in the
future with the Carey act proposi-
tions in the state. OF late there has
been much complaint over the fact
that little was being done by those af-
fected by the act and President Hog
gait is anxious to learn more about
the system and what is being done
under 1t in Colorado.
President Hoggatt expects to ascer-
tain why more work on the proper
ties under the Carey act is not being
done. These companies will be given
an opportunity by the land board to
explain why they are not pushing eff
forts on these claims. Should the
inquiry develop the fact that COM
panies operating under the act have
not been complying with the provi-
sions of the law. there is chance
that their lands will be taken from
them, according to a statement made
by President Hoggatt.

SWEDES CONSIDERING
NATIONAL PROHIBITION
Associated Press

Associated Press
Stockholm, Sweden. August IS
There is prospect that Sweden soon
may be placed under national prohi-
bition. Laws making IL an offense to
drink spirituous liquors anywhere in
the country are contemplated. and
there is reasonable chance that they
will be adopted.
Prime Minister Staaff, in a recent
address before a congress of tetotal-
lers in Stockholm. declared that pro-
hibition was the only effective means
of preventing drunkenness. All 9th
er attempted methods of reform, he
said. had proved Ineffective and in
sufficient to stop the evil.
The prime minister's speech Is con-
sidered an indication OF the govern
ment's policy and Is believed to fore
shadow the introduction into parlia-
ment of a bill for the prohibition OF
all spurious drinks in Sweden. Such
a law would command the support OF
the Royal family. The king is a
strong temperance advocate, and the
crown prince is a total abstainer.
A prohibitory law would be likely
to meet with opposition from France.
Sweden has a big trade in wines and
spirits with France, and she depends
upon the French money market to
finance many Swedish enterprises
There are fears that the exclusion Of
French wines would encounter retail
iation in the form of the exclusion of
Swedish securities from the Paris
Bourse. A proposal TO increase the
duty on wines in 1904 had to be
dropped because the French govern
ment protested. and threatened to
bar Swedish consols from the Paris
stock exchange.
