RANCHERS WANT
HIGH Line WATER

At the request of numerous land
owners in the upper end of the vail
ley meeting will be held in Bower
hall at Palisade Saturday evening
TO consider the proposition submitted
by Secretary Lane to the Paiisade
and Mesa Coounty irriga tion districts
for furnishing water from the high
line canal.
Many OF the land owners are anX-
ious to see the deal go through and
some favor accepting the offer of
Secretary Lane in its present form,
even though the first cost Of the
water may be greater. The fact that
the districts may soon be called upon
to rebuild their pumping plants is in
flueucing many of the land owners
in favor of the compromise offer for
unification OF the districts. while
others believe that the cost will be
no greater than at present. The de-
sire of many of the upper valley
ranchers to be taken in when a drain
age district is organized for the low
er valley. also has considerable in
fluence and the meeting Saturday
night may ask the directors to act
favorably upon Secretary Lanes pro-
posal.

The offer of compromise recently
made by the interior department to

Mesa county has been withdrawn
and the government will soon start

In anticipation of the suit the

FIGHT OVER AUTOMOBII. E FOR
co. AGRICULTURIST SETTLED
AT BOARD MEETING TODAY

The long-standing fight over the
question of an automobile for the
county agriculturist was finally set
tied this morning when ID. w. Frear
state leader, appeared before the
board of commissioners with com
mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce composed of Charles Quist
and Secretary l.. Antics.
II was agreed after a lengthy dis
cussion that an effort be made to
have any additional provision for ex-
penses for Agriculturist Harrison
raised by private subscription. that
Mr.. Harrison buy his own machine
and that the enpense of running II be
provided through the medium of the
Chamber of Commerce and the coun-
ty agricultural society. This plan
will be adopted at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce tonight. and
farmers of Mesa county will be asked
to contribute in support of the move
ment.
Prof. Frear made II plain to the
members of the board that he had
no criticism to offer for their action
and he was certain that they had
made all the allowance of county
funds that could be secured for the
agriculturist. He suggested, howev-
er. that the agricultuist should have
a machine to make his work more eff
ficient, and the commissioners
adopted a resolution in support of
the suggestion that this fund be pro-
vided through the Chamber of Com
merce until such time as federal aid
could be secured. Mr.. Frear said that
Mesa counts was now al the top of
the list. and might expect aid July |
If the bill now pending in congress is
passed. He thought that this
amount would be in the neighborhood
of 81 900 annually.
The commissioners expressed them
selves as not obiecting to the county
agriculturist riding in an automobile,
but suggested that he ought to own
his own machine, and MIR. Frear
agreed to this, saying that provision
should be made for its upkeep.
There was considerable plain
speaking on the part of the commits
sioners in regard to the criticisms
which had been made of their action
and Mr.. Frear replied that he had no
criticism to offer. but rather that
the question of an automobile was up
to the public generally, and that it
should be matter of private sub
scription.

TOB|N DECLARES
NEW LAW IS To
HELP RANCHMEN
Author Of Statistical Bill Says
il Should Make Farmers
More Business like.

That there Is absolutely nothing
new in the law compelling the as
SCISSOR to collect statistics, and that
the measure has been on the statute
books for many years is the decara-
tion of Senator John j Tobin, who
is the author of the bill which has
been causing the assessors of the
state, the county commissioners and
Others so much trouble lately.
This bill which bears my name is
exactly the same law that has been
on the statute books for good many
years" said Senator Tobin this morn
ing. Il introduced the bill at the
request OF Governor Ammons and
members OF the state agricultural
board. 1t simply transfers the du-
ties imposed by the statute to the
state board of agriculture from the
state labor department. The labor
commissioner did not have time to
take care of the statistics which he
was required by this law to COM
pile. and the board OF agriculture was
willing to undertake the duties which
the governor considered of impor-
tance to the state"
AS far as the law itself is con-
cerned. | believe that the statistics
to be collected will be of considerable
benefit But the law is of more ben
efit to the farmers of Colorado than
to anyone else. Anything that will
compel a farmer to keep books, and
know where he stands, Will help him.
The greatest lack of the farmer to-
day is his lack of business system,
and If he is forced to provide this
information for the state, it is more
than likely that he will soon be in a
position. to learn whether or not he
is making money. on what crops he
has profit, and on what he is los
ing money, so that he may govern
himself accordingly.
1T is my opinion that the few hun
dred dollars which the various coun-
ties may spend to secure the infor-
nation required by law will be re-
turned hundred times over in the
better business methods which will be
demanded of the ranchers thereby"

the United States agrees to pay to
Colombia for partition of the Pan

American Minister Thompson and

There are no rights for the new

by the Atrato river rout and no coal
ing privileges on the San Andreas and
Proyidencia Islands are contained in
the treaty.
The acceptance of the latest treaty
ends ten years negotiations and
friction between the United States
and Colombia to relieve the strained
diplomatic relations.
One important demand which the
South American republic insisted on
was the free passage of merchant YES

given up because of President Will
sons attitude in favor of the repeal
OF tolls exemption. The Colombian
