Mining throughout this section,

space could be used in giving reas-

they exist at present
Since it has been determined with
in the past few years that the one
bodies reach to great depths, some
real mining has been done instead
of surface scratching as has been the
custom when il was believed that 1t
was useless 10 go below water Level
and, althOug TINS has been an "ufl

that has been made at deep mining
will ultimately prove the starting Of
one Of the best mining sections Of
the state.

been large After January i 1915,
this fund will, however, amount TO
but about sl2O.O00, or at least
$1,000 per county, and each year
following it will become less
Ii is necessary therefore if the
state is to continue to aid the several
counties in the building of state
wide system of roads, that more
funds be provided A half mill levy
which would yield about a half
million dollars, has been proposed,
as has also bond issue The Colo

been asked TO initiate a measure
which will provide sufficient funds
In order that it can be voted ON next
year Unless this 10 done, no action
So secure needed funds can become
effective until 1917, as any action Of
the Legislature in 1915 would have
10 be voted upon by the people at
the next general election.
This question is also being con-
sidered by the County Commission
ers' Association of the state, and
Joint meeting of the officials of this
organization together with the off,
cials of the Colorado Good Roads
Association will be held some time
this month to discuss the matter.

FARM HELP AND IMMIGRANTS.

spring and summer every year de- Nelop problems because of insufficient help which are extremely aggravat.ne to the farmers of all districts whether they are large or small It was well conceived that this difficulty might he overcome through the immigrant by distributing the many thousand for eigners among the farminc districts of the country, and tkis has been of no listle help, but not so great as was expected. The inducements and the tranSportations are easily accomplish ed but the conditions are SC different from what they are used t. and their handicap through the lack of knowl- edge of the language soon causes them to reassemble in large centers where the companionship of others of their nationality can be had. This concerns the immigrant from southern EurCpe since those from the northern part of the continent form the population of large section of farming territory in the northern states of this country.
 While farm life is far better for them they cannot be mace to under the relief to the farm labor market which is needed. Whatever is event ually done for them in this regard will be through the influence which can be brought to bear upon the young people eThey are bound to be trans formed into valuable citizens but still the farm help problem continues to exist
