Prospective Settlers in the Arkansas
Valley Ask Information of the
State Board of immigration
Under date of Aug. ii Secre-
tary Jenkins of the State Board
of immigration sends out the fol-
lowing information pertaining to
his office:
Heretofore it was the policy of this
board to send all inquiries to all real
estate firms and commercial clubs of
the state. resulting in the prospective
settler being flooded with literature which
discouraged him.
We have divided the state into six dis
tricts. following somewhat the boundaries
of the land districts:
District No. is the Northwestern
corner of the state; No. 2. the Montrose
land district; No. 3, the San Luis Valley
and the Durango country; No. 4. the
Arkansas Valley; No. S. Sterling Hugo
Colorado Springs districts; No. f.. the
Denver land district.
The good prospects as they are re-
ceived in the office will be Preferred to
some town or towns TO cooperate with
US and at the end of the month all in
quiries referred to towns in the above
numbered districts will be compiled and
sent to every agency in the district CO.
opera ting with US. In this way pros
pect that has been referred to any town
in district No. will not be referred to
any other portion of the state. 1t will
therefore be up to District No. S to land
the prospect.
It will be our policy to encourage only
money to meet their needs. A man To-
eating on a non-irrigated ranch should
have enough money to support him one
or two years. regardless of crop returns.

we have selected about 200 for outside
attention. The following have been re-
