GOVERNMENT TO EXPEND MORE MILLIONS
IN RECLAMATION IN COLORADO

the government fifty dollars per acre
to place water on the land, the set
tier would pay three dollars per acre
per year for thirty-one and one-half
years and the entire obligation
would be discharged On houses the
/ interest rate is per cent and the
settler is given twenty years to COM
plete payment. For the improve
ment of land the rate is s per cent
and ten years is the life of the loan.
Professor Mead assures us that
'as result of this policy. settler
after settler has come to Australia,
gone on his farm and been earning
living and making expenses within
thirty days of the time he landed in
the country"
Australia gets all the money it
needs to carry on these enterprises
from its postal savings banks. The
Land of the Kangaroos has a genu-
inc postal savings system, not fake
like our own. In this country you
may deposit one hundred dollars
month with Uncle Sam, but no more,
and after you get in one thousand
dollars you must stop depositing or
buy government bond. In Austria
liza you may deposit as much as you
see flt. and the government will pay
you three per cent on large accounts
and three and one-half per cent on
small accounts.
Profit for Government
The difference between the rate Of
interest it pays the depositors and
the rate it charges the farmers-four
and one-half and five per cent-en-
ables the Australian government to
meet the expenses of the system and
accumulate large revenue fund.

BIG LEAD VEIN DISCOVERED

Last Friday large vein of lead
ore was discovered in the Happy

Milling Co. This mine has been one
of the big producers since the begin

feared that all the best ore had been
taken out, but the discovery Of this

About week ago there was a break

since that time cars on the interurban

Just what caused the explosion was
not determined at late hour this aft
