FOR HOMESTEAD ENTRY
U. s. OPENS 225, 1000 ACRES OF
LAND IN COLORADO.
Designated as Being Under the 32o-
Acre Homestead Law by Secretary
of the Interior Lane.
western Newspaper unlon New. serriee

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver-Two hundred and twenty
five thousand acres OF government
land in Colorado were designated as
being under the 320-acre homestead
law by Secretary Lane of the interior
during the month of November.
The enlarged homestead act pro-
vides that 800 acres may be taken up
where heretofore only 100 acres could
be entered, the lands having been
classified as non-irrigable.
The secretary has included 900
acres in this class in the states oil
Colorado. Idaho. Montana, Oregon and
North Dakota. Colorados lands OF
this class. as designated, lie as fol-
lows:
In Larimer county. $4,000 acres; ;
Mesa, 2S,500; Rio Blanco. 25,60O; Gar
field. $4,000; Routt, $4,000; Park, 49,
600: Fremont, 10000; Boulder, 1900 /;
Pueblo. 5000; Prowers, 1900, and
Grand, 1900.
1t is pointed out that this large
acreage of land is not all open to set
tlement Such designations are blan.
ket in character. and necessarily cover
many 1G0-acre patented homesteads as
well as preferential rights for addi-
tional 160-acre homesteads
In other cases the land already is
filed on by settlers for the entire 800
acres, so that the designation merely
permits the entryman to perfect his
title for double homestead
Some of the designations contain
considerable public land open to entry
in full 320-acre tracts.
The Denver general land office will
inform applicants of the land avail
able for settlement
While Colorado gets 225,00O acres
under this new designation, Idaho has
15O,600 acres Montana i75,000 and
Oregon 1900.
In North Dakota about 100000 acres

In a brief filed in the State SUI
preme Court. Attorney John w. Hell
big contends that the prohibition
amendment to the state constitution
absolutely prohibits the importation
into Colorado of liquor for personal
use after prohibition becomes effec-
tive Jan. 1. He therefore asserts
that the prohibition penalty law
passed by the General Assembly is un-
constitutional, because it provides
regulations permitting and governing
the importation of liquors for per-
sonal use In conflict with the consti-
tuition. His brief was filed in the
case pending before the Supreme
Court involving the right of the Leg
islature to insert the safety clause in
the prohibition penalty law to pre-
vent a referendum of the law to the
people. A referendum petition, signed
by 20,235 electors, was presented to
Secretary Of State Ramer. but he de-
clined to accept it on the ground that
