Boost for Colorado

Colorado's advantages for the home
seekers are graphically presented in the
June number of The Southwest Trail, the
official agricultural publication of Rock
Island Lines. The entire issue is devoted
to Colorado. there being an exhaustive
review OF crop, livestock and mining pro-
duction.
Much space is devoted to the eastern
section of the state, in which farming has
been effectively built up through the ef-
forts of the Rock Island. Detailed infor-
nation from expert sources is given as to
methods of soil culture and crop produc-
ton under light rainfall. The company's
conservative policy in handling this sub
iect has resulted in an influx Of perman-
ent population, as the new settlers un-
derstood from the company's agricultural
literature exactly what are the conditions

HAIL STORM
Commits Considerable Damage in
This Section of the Arkansas VAL
ley Saturday Night

The most disastrous hail storm
that has visited this section of
the Arkansas Valley this year ar
rived last Saturday evening and
committed damage ranging from
lG per cent to total destruction of
the crop.
Fruit in the vicinity of Msnza-
nola is reported to have suffered
severely, Igrain was considerably
damaged about Weitzer and the
storm then appeared to lift until
it had passed over Rocky Ford
and descended upon Newdale
where many tracts of vine crops
were completely destroyed.
In Rocky Ford and the imme-
dlate vicinity the hail stones were
exceptionally large, but they were
mercifully few in numbers, and
altho window lights and electric
globes were shattered wherever
struck by one of the icy pellets,
the damage sustained here was re-
markably slight.
The brunt of the storm is re-
ported to have been borne by the
Las Animas- Lamar country, where
vast fields of grain were destroy
ed and great havoc was generally
wrought by the hail.

Compulsory Guard Service?


How to get forty-fiye hundred men to
serve three year terms in the state mil
tia is problem which is soon to confront
the officials Of the Colorado national
guard. The new army bill, federalizlng
the national guard and providing for en-
lstments of 100000 men. assigns to
Colorado the quota above mentioned.
What is more that law requires that such
number of men shall be enlisted, train
ed, and held at all times not only for use
in q,elling state disturbances but in hos
tilities affecting the nation. At the COM
mand OF the president these state units
will be required to render foreign service
il there is need. The utmost difficulty has
been experienced in making the national
guard of Colorado sufficiently attractive
to bring about the enlistment Of 1900
men. How are three times that number
to be obtained and kept in the service? 1t
is true the new law, as far as the militia
is concerned, has pay attraction. Pri-
Yates are to receive about $50 a year.
and in return must drill steadily through
out the year and participate IN encamp-
ment duty for ten days. Captains are to
receive $500 annually and the other COM
mlssioned officers pay in proportion, Nom
commissioned officers. also. will receive
p,oportionate pay. 1t remains to be seen
therefore. whether this allurement OF
dollars will produce the enlistments the
law not only provides but demands. The
next step. of course. would be compul-
sorry service, such as in force today in the
state of New York. This would require an
act of the legislature imposing military
service upon every able bodied boy.
Thus federalized our guard may or may
not become an object high in the con-
sideration Of the people.-Denyer Com
mereial.
