Board Cuts Tramway and Gas Tax.


After almost three weeks considera-
alton, the state board of equalization,
by divided vote, decided to reduce
the assessment on the properties of
the Denver Tramway and Denver Gas
and Electric Light companies to the
figures adopted by the Denver city
commissioners sitting as county
board of equalization. Following the
action of the board, the tramway and
gas companies paid $4,000 in back
taxes owed the state for the years
1912, 1913 and 1914. The tramway
paid s14.7OO and the gas company s11..
800. The total reduction in the two
assessments was s7,731, 1926. The tax
commission fixed the valuation of the
tramway company at s16,972.650. The
board adopted an assessment of s13,
222,530. making a reduction in the
tramway valuation of s3,751 ,120. The
Gas and electric corporation was
valued by the tax commission at s13,.
027,200, but the board reduced the as
sessment to s9,Oi6,994, a reduction OF
$3,9S0,206. A reduction of 100000
was also allowed by the board in the
assessment of the Arkansas Valley
Railway, Light and Power Company OF
Pueblo, the company's valuation being
fixed at $4,500,0O0.

HOMESTEAD MILLION ACRES.
Actual Settlers With Experience on
Non-lrrlgated Land Locate in
Lamar District,

Denver-One of the greatest rushes
of bona fide settlers to Colorado that
has ever been recorded is now taking
place In the southeastern corner Of
this state, according to A. L. Beavers.
register of the United States Land Of
flee for the Lamar district. More than
100000 acres have been homestead
ed in the last year, and the rush is
steadily increasing from month to
month-instead of falling off at this
season of the year, as usual
"These new settlers probably are
the best Colorado ever obtained" said
experienced farmers of non-irrigated
lands, who come from neighboring
states, where conditions are mostly
identical; they know what they are up
against right from the start, and they
know how to begin in a way that will
insure success.
Virtually all of them have ready
cash to undertake the development of
their property. And they have fine
work horses and an adequate stock OF
mich COWS. They are not taking the
land for speculation, but to make per-
manent homes. They are making the
right kind of a start, SO that years Of
scant rainfall will not affect them"
During the first ten months of 1915
Mr.. Beavers has placed 1891 home
stead applications on land. The great
er part of these applicants were men
with families, raising the number of
settlers to at least 10000. These men
took 970,664 acres.

remember, ! remember the house
where was born, the little window
where the sun came peeping in at
morn. You'd hardly know the old
place now, for dad is up-to-date and
the farm is scientific, from the back
lot to the gate. The house and barn
are lighted with bright acetyline, the
engine in the laundry Is run by gaso-
line; we have silos, we have dynamos
and things, telephone for gossip and
photograph that sings. The hired
man has left us--we miss his homely
face--a lot of college graduates are
working in his place. There's an en-
gineer and fireman, chauffeur and a
vet, Electrician and mechanic. Oh,
the farms run right, you bet! The
little window where the sun came
peeping in at morn now brightens up
a bathroom that cost dad a car Of
corn. Our milkmaid is pneumatic and
she's sanitary, too, but dad gets fifteen
cents quart for milk that once bro't
two. Our cattle came from Jersey and
the hogs are all Duroc, the sheep are
Southdown beauties and the chickens
Plymouth Rock. To have the best Of
everything, that is our aim and plan,
for dad not only farms IL, but he's a
business man.--E. +. Mcintyre.

Lord, help me to play the game. 1t
matters not to you whether ! am tai
ented or poor In natural gifts; wealthy
or starving; a leader among men or
a simple follower, so that ! play the
game as you would have it played.
Help me to keep my eye on the ball,
that the curves of temptation may not
deceive me. Keep my feet in the path
of righteousness, that may touch sec
ond and third on my way round the
bases. Help me to beat out my
hunts, and hold me that stray not
too far from base when the catcher is
ready to peg me. Count not my foul
balls against me, o Lord, for the bat
ting eye sometimes goes wrong,
though the intention is right. Help
me in the pinches, Lord, because a
good bingle might bring my brother
home. Let not the music Of the fans
keep my eye from the ball, nor the en-
Elements Of the slabman draw me
away from the need Of clean single
with man on second. Help me, 0
Lord, to bat over 800, because my eyes
are on the big league for eternity,
even while ! sojourn here among the
bush-leaguers.

SOUTHERN UTAHs INSPIRATION

To WHAT is southern Utah most
II ly indebted for the industrial
awakening that is so noticeable upon
every hand the past year or two?
For the steady extension of the cut
tivated area; for the better methods
employed in the cultivation of the
soil; for the Improvement Of the
grade Of stock and other animals that
are raised; for planting Of large areas
of hitherto untitled land to corn, and
the feeding of large numbers Of hogs
what, we say, has furnished the
inspiration? And our answer is Civ
EN- without fear of contradiction---the
B. A. c. And yet the work Of this
institution has scarcely begun. The
farms which are to solve the local
problems for the farmers and pilot
the way to better methods of agri-
culture are as yet in but little better
condition and control than some of the
surrounding farms; but the influence
for better and more intelligent en-
deavor along these lines has already
been felt. AS time goes by, and the
program mapped out for the b. A. C.
farms is worked out, they will be one
of the most inspiring sights TO farm
ers to be found anywhere. Already
they are beginning to respond to the
improved methods of cultivation, and
are an object lesson we'll worthy of
inspection and investigation by the
farmers and livestock growers Of this
section Of the state.
And the one most important lesson
yet taught on the irrigated tract adj
joining the school is this: That up
to date, the available water supply
has not been made TO do more than
about one-fourth its proper duty. II
has been conclusively shown that one
summer watering on average soil is
all that Is required for best results
In the cultivation of small grains. II
has been proven that two good cut
tings Of alfalfa can be grown in the
"AoJvAtey VI ouT uciuS Will Onty VIII
ter water. In the past, at least four
times this amount of water has been
applied to land having primary water
right. This means, then, that with
the proper economical use of the pres
ent water supply nearly four times as
much land can be cultivated and al
most four times as much farm prod
ucts produced. And this without en-
tering the domain Of arid farming,
which affords almost unlimited pos
sihilities.
This new method will be quite as
beneficial TO the old method farmer as
to the homeseeker who may be afford
ed an opportunity Of acquiring a
farm, for he will be saved lot of
hard labor now employed in unnec-
essary irrigation of his crops. The
sooner We avail ourselves of the in
formation furnished by the local ex-
perimental farms, the sooner we can
expect to double or treble our popula-
ton and add to the general prosperity
of this section of the country.

THE GRAND CANYON HIGHWAY.

ID EADERS Of The Record will re-
~ call the fact that June first was
the date fixed for the completion of
the State and Grand Canyon High
way, and the opening Of the route to
tourist travel. This was the date
worked to by the state convicts be-
tween the Bellevue Blackridge and
Hurricane, and the date kept in mind
by the people all along the line Of the
psoposed road; but June / found the
road in anything but good shape for
automobiles, and another month and a
half slipped by and still there are
portions of the road that we could not
conscientiously recommend to automo-
bilists--particularly about a 10 mile
strip Of sand between the Hurricane
hill and the Cedar Ridge, in the direc-
ton of Short Creek. This portion of
the road lies in Arizona, and while il
has been graded, the grade consists
Of loose sand which is practically inn
passable for automobiles. The road
was surveyed on this route in order to
accommodate the settlers on farms
along the route, Notwithstanding it
was feared that the road could not be
surfaced and made good this season.
From one TO three thousand dollars
expended on the lower road, farther
south, would have placed it in very
fair condition 70 stake care of the
tourist travel the present summer, and
then the permanent road via Short
Creek could have been completed in
time for next summer. AS the matter
now stands, the road over this portion
of the route is no better than it was
ten years ago, and IT would be folly TO
induce automobilists to attempt it,
for each one making the trip would
become a knocker of the route when
