IMPORTANT. LAND DEAL

T.. G. Clark and c. l.. Smith, of La
lara. closed deal last Saturday by
which they receive title from Albert
J. Hack to a ranch of 21S0 acres OF
decided land in the Cochetopa coun-
try, about 80 miles southeast OF Gun
nison. A quarter section Of school
land. not yet decided, also goes with
the ranch.
This land is all under fence and
has good ranch buildings. 1t is fine
hay and pasture land, where grass
starts in the spring much earlier
than on ranges further south. 1t
will prove of great value to men
handling cattle on the scale these
gentlemen do.
About 1900 acres are meadow and
produce an average of one thousand
tons of hay per year. 1t is said to
be one of the best cattle ranches in
the whole state.-La lara Gazette.

The PROPOSED HERD LAW

The Denver Post, through Tie
Great Divide, is trying to initiate a
law which will ruin the live stock
industry Of Colorado.
They propose to repeal our e.. 60
law, which allows the owner of a
crop full damage done by trespass-
ing animals, when such crop is sur
rounded by lawful fence. Such
fence is very simple-such as three
barbed wires, posts 33 feet apart.
with one stay between.
In other words, they propose that
one may put in crop any place with
out fencing the same, and can collect
damage if an animal gets on to their
crop
This Post herd law makes the
owner, or caretaker, of milk COW
liable for all damage she may do of
whatever nature; whether to persons,
crops or property; whether in the
barn, pasture, or on the range. 1t
would not be safe to own a domestic
animal under this law. No state in
the Union has such drastic, unrea-
sonable statute.
The legislative committees of "The
Grange" and Farmers Union" have
tried to treat with the promoters of
this law, in an effort to modify and
rationalize the same, but have only
been met with evasions and deceptive
promises.
Colorado has forty million acres of
unfenced lands, which would be rem
dered nearly useless by this law, as
the law will not permit it to be
fenced, and because of the habits of
animals, it is most impossible and
to herd them This open
range is now used by men who on
the average have less than one hun
dred head of cattle and horses per
man. On the forest reserve over so
per cent of the owners of live stock
have less than 40 head of cattle and
horses. From the best estimates OBJ
tainable, there is an average mort
gage of $40 on every head of cattle
in the state. The cattle baron no
longer exists in this state. The beef ,
trust owns no cattle.
The signing of these petitions will
force the small stock owner to a
great expense to fight this law at the
polls, and we ask the press of Colo
RADIO and the good people of our state
to protect us against this imposition.
Please in the name of humanity do
not sign these petitions.

mittee, The State Grange, Farmers
