 The details of the case were pre- sented to Judge Thomas by counsel. The mother is a German and the father a Slovak. The latter agrees with the opinions of his wife.

All Eyes Now On Colorado

For several months members of
the Colorado State Board OF Immi-
grafton have predicted that the de-
mand for land and business invest
ments in Colorado and other west
ern states in 1917 would be greater
than II has been At any time In ten
years. That this prediction is being
fulfilled is made plain by the in
creased number Of inquiries received
by the board and the railroads oper-
ating in Colorado.
During the closing days OF the
session OF the Twenty-first General
Assembly, representatives OF all OF
the passenger departments OF the
trans-continental railroads operat-
ing in Colorado appeared before the
appropriations committee OF the
house OF representatives In support
OF the appropriation asked for the
immigration board. These men, near
ly all OF whom have been connected
with Colorado railroads for a great
many years. stated that they are now
receiving more inquiries from per-
sons desiring to locate In the west
than they have ever before received
during their connection with railroad
work. Reports from commercial
bodies in all parts OF the state also
indicate a large growing interest in
Colorado lands and business oppor-
tunities.
As a result OF this annual demand.
the board OF immigration is making
special effort to provide such lit
erature as will place the advantages
OF Colorado before prospective in
yestors in a way that will appeal
to them without giving them false
Impressions regarding the condi-
tions that prevail in the state. Plans
are now being made for the repub-
lication OF a general pamphlet con-
tanning Information about mining re-
sources and the opportunities for in
yestment in that line. Conditions
are especially favorable in all west
ern states at the present time for
further development OF the mining
