AS the result of the article in Sum-
days Post concerning the 10000
acres of fine irrigable land at Ignacio,
which will be almost given away to
the first 100 farmers who will re-
claim it, twenty substantial irriga-
tion farmers yesterday visited Regis
ter Hoggatt of the state land board
with a view to entering upon it.
Seven of these left yesterday to view
this land of promise which the state
y offering to real farmers. Mr.. Hog
gait told the visitors that two meth
ods were open to them. They can go
down there with their own teams and
tools and construct the canals and
1 laterals necessary to bring the waters
of the Pine river into this potential
garden, all the work to be supervised
by state engineer; or they can de-
posit with the state a fair sum, say
| $4,000 for each quarter section, and
be assured that when enough men
have located on the land the work will
I be begun by the state, without the
$50 or $25 an acre which the middle
man usually collects. Mr.. Hoggatt
recommended the latter course, and
told the farmers that it was expected
to reclaim for s35 an acre the land
which an irrigation company had
planned to charge the settlers $50 an
acre for reclaiming.-Denver Post.
