Plateau Valley
In Fine Shape

Charles f. Jenkins, one of the pio-
neer and best known citizens of the
Plateau valley, was an arrival yes

months. Mr.. Jenkins states that the
winter has been steady and very cold
iii the Plateau, but that farming,
stock raising and general conditions
are very satisfactory and the year
promises to prove one of the most
prosperous the Plateau valley has
ever known. He states that the min
ing excitement which recently at
tracted much attention to the Plateau
has entirely subsidized and that the
alleged strike panned out very poor
ly, indeed. There is some prospect
ing going on for radium bearing ores.
Mr.. jenkins will leave for De BeQue

Sentinel special Service.

oentlnel Speclal service.
Denver, Feb. State Land Reg
istrar Hoggatt- is planning a cam
paign against parties who own leases
of state lands in the San Luis val
ley, and for which they pay only )
cents an acre. subleasing at enormous
advances and thus make big profits
out of their investments to the detri-
ment of the state. He has just con-
cluded an extensive investigation of
conditions In that valley and declares
the practice must at once stop. In
many instances, he says, these lands
are well watered and valuable.
This practice, Hoggatt says, is a
direct violation of the law and will
not be tolerated by the state in the
future. The system of subleasing has
been going on for years and there has
never been any attempt to stop 1t.
Thousands of dollars have been lost
to the state by the practice. Col
orado loses because these leased
lands at cents per acre are not be-
ing cultivated. They are sub-leased
for grazing purposes at immense prof
its to the original leasers. These
lands, Hoggatt declares, should be
improved and made capabel of pro-
ducticn which would help materially
TO eHrlcn the SIale. w nti thtS al
used for merely speculation no one
benefits except the original lessee and
the sub-lessee The state as whole
does not benefit, he says.
These exact conditions have not
been fully understood by the state
land board, but Hoggatt has for the
past several months sent his in
spectcrs over the state for the pur-
pose of discovering what lands are
being used for grazing purposes af-
ter they have been leased for the sup
posed purpose OF improvement. Hog
gait has already ascertained enough
to justify him in proceeding to can
eel all leases that are being sub
leased for grazing purposes unless
the lessees agree to improve the lands
instead of sub-leasing to cattle men
and stockmen of every description.
In the future, he says, all lands
leased to farmers must be cultivated.
Such farmers, however, will be per-
mitted certain grazing privileges
when terms are made with the land
board.
