husbands are worrying their wives.
The only citizen the writer has heard
talk of getting up company said
everybody he asked wanted to be
colonels or majors, so he was only

HOMESEEKE ERS FOR COLORADO.
Colonization Expert Says Tide of I'm
migration Is About To Turn
tn This State.


In the opinion of Charles Elwood,
who has arrived in Denver to take
charge of the sale of $4,000 acres of
land under one of the new irrigation
systems, and who is one of the best
known colonization men in the coun-
try, the western states and particu-
larly Colorado, are on the eve of a
new wave of immigration. The stream
that Canada has been receiving, he
says, is about to turn this way. In
the last ten years he estimates that
100000 persons have gone from the
United States into western Canada.
The best opportunities there have
been taken up, Elwood says. A good
many are now returning; the western
part of the United States now has
must better advantages to offer to
new comers, in climate, cheapness Of
lands and nearness to markets.
"Of all the western states. Colorado
leads in these advantages" says FL
wood, "and | think the time is ripe,
with proper and systematized encour-
agement, for thousands Of new set
tiers to be attracted to Colorado. The
great growth of Colorado in the fu
ture will depend on the development
of agricultural lands, and the more
the business interests Of the large
cities of the state realize this and give
1t hearty and substantial support, the
more the cities will grow"
