Denver-The first special land sale
probably ever held by the State Land

ricultural land for which there was

minimum price OF IS an acre. For an
other quarter Of land appraised at the
same value, he paid $12 an acre.
Bidding brought even higher prices
for lower appraised land In Huerfano

were all appraised at $6 an acre, e. L.
Trownstine paid respectively $16.25,
sIO.25. $1O.25 and $6 an acre.

MUST Be PROTECTED.
This Country Can Manufacture
Its Own Dyestuffs.
Necessary, However, That Capital Be
Assured Consideration In the Mat.
ter Of Composition With
Germany.

Shall we manufacture dyestuffs In
quantities to meet our own necessi
ties? The industry can be established
In this country. and should be. We
have the raw materials. and can com
mand the skilled labor. We have suf
fered in that line. as in others. as the
result Of the war. We have been de-
pendent on Germany for our dyes;
and our business relations with that
country have been dislocated for IL
months. Hence the interest now at
taching to that particular subject.
The leading consideration In the
premises is protection. Shall protec-
tion be afforded? The German indus
try has not been. and will not be. de.
stroyed by the war. Upon the return
OF peace. German manufacturers will
return to full speed again, and have
greatly the advantage in our markets
unless our markets are protected for
the home industry.
Secretary Redfeld favors the pro.
lection. and puts the case in this way:
Capital hesitates under existing
conditions to embark heavily In an un-
dertaking where there is a strong
probability. II not a certainty. that
upon the return OF normal conditions
an incipient. half-deveioped American
industry would be exposed to pro
longed and relentless underselling by
foreign competitors possessing al.
most boundless resources. financial
and technical"
A similar situation In general ex.
listed when we launched our govern.
mental scheme. and a similar argu.
ment was made by the fathers In sup.
port Of the general policy of pro.
lection. At that time we were q
small nation Of farmers and mer.
chants. almost wholly dependent on
the outside world for manufactured
products. Why not become a self.
supporting nation? Why not do our
own manufacturing? Protection as a
policy was adopted. and in no great
while we became In many things in
dependent OF the outside world and
today we hold place among the
leading manufacturing nations.
Protection has done wonders for
America. The policy. OF course. needs
adjustment from time to time. as

protectionist OF his day. pointed out
at Buffalo In what proved to be his
last public utterance. But adjust.

Miss Clara Harmon, Camp street, on
Tuesday found box elder with the
buds well started and quite green. The
warm weather had been encouraging
and this gave life to this species of plant
life. Strange to say buds of many
plants are not injured by a sudden
change of cold, such as swooIed down
upon this region on Wednesday night
and Thursday. AS the cold increases
the moisture retires from the center of
the bud TO the outer layers else the bud
would burst With freezing. AS the
warm weather returns the moisture
finds its way back to the center of the
bud, wise provision of nature in this
uncertain climate.
