GLARING MISREPRESENTATION
Somebody Putting Up Hoax on the
State Legislature
A number Of state papers this week

A number CT state papers this week
<retained dispatches to the effect that
40 families of settlers in southern
Vent and Baca counties were starving
TO death and were asking stste aid
through a petition to Speaker Boon
Best. The Register is not informed
whether such q petition was actually
presented to the speaker or not, but
if it was it certainly was The biggest
hoax of the season.
Last season was not a profitable
one for dry farmers in some sections
of the territory mentioned, but the
larger part of those who were not so
situated as to carry themselves over
the winter have been able to get work
of one kind or another in this section,
and on the whole there has not been
as great a demand for charity as in
many past years.
Throughout a large part of the
south country where the conditions
were favorable for broom corn, the
dry farmers made big money and
many of those outside that territory
raised sufficient feed to carry their
stock over and got work to support
their families.
There are no doubt quite few
families, brought here by some mis-
leading advertising matter that claims
man with money enough to get here
with his family and file on a claim
can make living from the start, and
are located too far away from town
to get work that are in great need.
However their number is only
small part of 600 families, and these
exaggerated reports will be more
likely to prevent the worthy ores get
ting relief than to help them.
The entire trouble has been caused
by the unreliable real estate agents
who care nothing as to how the fam
lilies get along afterwards if only they
can get the locating fees. These
agents as rule have no offices, little
expense and no responsibility. The
state board Of immigration has been
doing good work in warning prospec-
tive settlers against these men and
these conditions, and their efforts to
see that none come here who have not
the means to carry themselves for
awhile should receive the hearty sup
port Of all our citizens at this time.
Not only are they fighting the mis-
representation Of the conditions but
also of the work of these agents in
locating people on land they have not
seen and selling rclinquishments on
claims at high figures when the same
are already subject to contest. The
state board has succeeded in having
several Of these agents sent to the
penitentiary and more will follow un-
less they mend their shady practices.
Settlers coming here properly pre-
pared and understanding conditions
can make a success of it and need no
help, but no one should come on the
representations of irresponsible
agents or people. Write to the state
board or some responsible agent.
