A Crime

The New Years editions of the Col
orado city dailies have now all been
published and they show far more
abounding ignorance of Colorado and
its industries than ever before. In
this day Of high prices and scarcity
Of print paper it is certainly q crime
to waste so many tons of it in dis
playing the Ignorance of editors in
the cities regarding the industries and
even geography of their surrounding
more misinformation than they did
facts, but for pure unadulterated ig-
norance the break of the Pueblo Chief
tain in stating that Otero county had
two sugar factories located at its
two principal cities, La Junta and
Swink, while Rocky Ford was also a
good town, is entitled TO the crown.
AS Rocky Ford is next door neighbor
to Pueblo and some live burg with
the biggest sugar factory in the state
they sure have a right TO be sore.
Prowers county also got hers, as the
only mention made of this great al
falfa and dairy region was the state
ment that il was situated in the south
east corner Of the state and compris-
ed of fine grazing land with SPRING
field as county seat. The worst of
these crimes was shat they were pub
lished with line stating "By the
State Board of Immigration" The
board denies all responsibility for these
articles, so we would like to know
just where Alva Swain got his special
brand Of Christmas refreshments. Put
a special order in for few quarts for

COUNTY BIG INDUS
TRY
Helvetia Milk Pay Roll Breaks Record
and Still Climbing

That the dairy industry will even
tually be the greatest asset of Prov
.ers county and perhaps the Arkansas
valley is now acknowledged by all who
have given the question intelligent
study, and the increase Of interest
which has occurred of late is now max
ing itself manifest in the big monthly
pay roll of the Helvetia Milk Con-
densing Co. at its Lamar plant. The
milk receipts for December passed the
100000 pounds mark for the first
time, and the amount paid farmers for
milk for the first time was more than
$4,000. For January the receipts
will pass the million pound mark and
the pay roll will go near the 5000
mark. 1t will grow rapidly from this
time on.
When the industry first started in
Lamar there was a great scarcity of
good dairy cows, and the money mar
ket was so tight that it was hard for
our farmers to make large investments
in high grade COWS. Then followed the
quarantine of many Of the big dairy
sections owing to the dread foot and
mouth disease which again delayed de-
velopment here. All obstacles have
now been overcome and the farmers
are all increasing their herds, while
many new comers are rapidly being
interested in this great money max
ing industry. All who have gone into
the business in a scientific manner are
making big money on their invest
ment, and it gives the quickest and
surest returns Of any kind Of farming
as the output is sold as fast as OBJ
tanned at a fixed and understood price
and payments in full made each month.
Below we publish the report Of the
state dairy commissioner showing how
rapidly the industry is growing in i'm
portance in the state, and we wish to
call attention to the fact that while
there are four condenseries the La
mar plant Of the Helvetia company
produces more than half Of The con-
densed milk product and pays by far
the highest price for the product. The
average price for the year at all the
plants was about s1.4S per hundred,
which is very little above the mini
mum of the Helvetia company and
nearly 30 cents per hundred below
their yearly average. When it is con-
sidered that the total product here has
been over five thousand tons this ex-
ira price paid by the local plant be
comes a big figure, and certainly
helps out the patrons.

this in the alfalfa mills. condensery,
creameries, cheese factory and in the
handling, it is furnishing large wages
for hundreds of men, and the manu-
factured product is bringing back
hundreds of thousands of dollars from
the eastern markets.
While Prowers county has many
other large industries, including one
of the largest FIGURING mills of the
state, and a big beet sugar factory
and raises immense crops of wheat
sugar beets, oats, and many other
kinds, yet alfalfa is so far in the
lead that nothing disputes its leader
ship; and Prowers county so far cX-
ceeds all other counties in producing
alfalfa that this can be said to be tho
home of alfalfa. Prowers county is
willing to let other counties make
their claims to be the home of the
smaller crops of the state, but the
states agricultural king finds his
throne right here. That is distinction
enough for one county.

CANNOT SMOTHER INQUIRY
Administration Must Listen to De
imand of Leak" Victims for Facts

Washington, Dec. 80 - Especial
Correspondcnce)- )-Thc Banquo's ghost
Of the opening days Of Congress after
the holiday recess will be the Wood
resolution calling for an investigation
Of the "leak" of the Presidents peace
note, by means of which so many
small investors in the stock market
were ruined and few big men
made millions.
Congress adjourned with the ma
jority leaders in a contemptuous mood
toward the Wood resolution. They
thought they could easily smother it
in committee But now they know
better. They may still attempt to
smother the inquiry, but they will
have to listen TO some very plain ak
on the floor of the House before that
is done. In the present instance Wash
ington gossip is much more explicit
than usual, and names are mentioned
with larger freedom than is general
ly the case when high officialdom is
thought to have put one over" There
are too many wounded small investors
among the constituencies of the rep
resentatives who will not follow the
advice which the late Senator Quay
once gave to an aggrieved h, ,nchman
to suffer in silence" They are be
ing heard from and the tenor of their
demand is to find out who leaked.
For more than six months there
have been ugly rumors afoat in
Washington to the effect that few
persons who can pretend 10 an op-
portunity of intimacy with the Pres
ident have been heavily Gin the mar
ket," that their takings Of profits
have been far from negligible, and
that their operations on the board
have been aided no little by advance
information which they have been able
to secure regarding the purposes of
the administration.
So long as the market was headed
upward and everyone was getting his
bit of the profits, there was no in
elination on the part of anyone, ex-
cept a few stern moralists, to inter
fere. With cynical good humor the
investing public shrugged its shoul-
ders when these sinister suggestions
were broached-and turned to the lat
est quotations.
But now the wounded birds are fiut-
tering in every financial dovecote and
their cooling has changed to an an
guished wall. If two or three hundred
thousand small investors all over the
country, who have lost money in the
recent peace panic" can make them
selves heard-and, as Mr.. Wilson
would say, they are especially vocal"
just nowhere will be no sitting Of
the resolution to investigate the
"leak"

Thirtieth Anniversary

The Lamar land Office was opened
for business on January 3, 1887, just
30 years ago today, and P. S. Lynch.
who is one Of the few here now that
was present on that occasion, informs
US that the scene around the land Of
flee is very similar to that time. The
difference is only that then the land
was practically all vacant and the
settlement a matter Of the future,
while now it is practically all taken
and the future business of the land
office depends largely on contests and
final proofs. Mr.. Lynch says he can
not remember who made the first
land filing, but he filed the first con
test on the opening day. The most at
tractive filings then were tree claims
and preemptions, and the filings of
each of these soon ran up into the
thousands. Many of those who filed
these claims pushed their preemption
filings through in six months so they
could make a homestead filing before
the land was all gone. Now after 80
years we are just beginning to see the
end Of the filings. It looks as if the
old timers had been needlessly alarm

LAND OFFICE RUSH
Remaining Land in The Bent Land
District Now Going Fast

The government land office at La
mar has been the scene of wild rush
of land seekers this week that has
dwarfed anything that has ever be
fore taken place here, and is still un
der way. 1t started with the announce
ment of the signing Of the $40 acre
homestead bill by the president, and
the receipt by the officials Of the local
land office of notice to receive filings
under the act and suspend them sub
ject to the action of the interior de-
partment in designating what lands
are subject to these filings.
The telegram arrived just after noon
on Saturday and few minutes later
Attorney Herschel Horn made the first
filing for one Of his clients, and soon
the few interested parties who were
in town made a lively rush to get in
while there was still an opportunoty
to pick choice claims. The closing of
the land office at 4:3O that afternoon
stopped the temporary rush over Sun

Condemned Cannon Not Given Away

Of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, has in
troduccd a bill providing for the do
nation by the Secretary of War to
that community of -four condemned
bronze or brass cannon" for the orna-
mentation Of the public park. This
is one of the little jokes that Con
gressmen occasionally play on their
trusting constituents. 1t is well
known to the initiated that such bills
when finally enacted into law mean
absolutely nothing, as they simply
authorize" the Secretary ain his dis
cration" TO make the donations. II
one takes the trouble to look the mat
ter up at the war department one is
informed that obsolete cannon are not
given away, but can be bought at
prices up to $3.50 each, according to

The comptroller has called for an
other statement from the national

in the papers this week For the first
time in the history of Prowers county
one of the banks has passed the half
million mark in total assets, the state
ment Of the First National Bank Of
Lamar published in this weeks issue

$500, ,99O.S3, and the Lamar National
Bank just misses the half million by
a few hundred. Its deposits almost
reach 100000. The rapid growth
Of business of this bank is also shown
in the other banks Of Lamar and the
total deposits of the three city banks
are now above the million dollar
mark now This high mark in the
banking business is but a reflection Of
the big crops and good prices that
have prevailed the past season. This
is the second statement called in forty
days and the sixth this year and it is
not known whether the comptroller is
trying to help out the newspapers or
keep the bank clerks busy.

JUSTICE ASSURED . TO ALL PENSIONERS
League Formed to Push Claims Of
 Warriors or Dependents,

London, Feb. 20.-What is practi- sailors and their dependents entitled to pension or separation allowance has just been organized. It is called the Naval and Military War Pensions and Welfare league. It's objects are to prevent corruption in the administra tion of pensions and to see that jus tice is done to pensioners in "this and other wars.'
 Some idea of the power that the new organization may wield in the affairs of the nation may be gained from the fact that there will be B. O0O,OOO discharged soldiers and sailors who form at least half the electorate of the country.
 The league was launched by J. M. Hogge, the chairman of the pensions committee of the house of commons, who was entrusted by the government t with the task of finding a solution of some of the difficulties already con- fronting the dependents of men who had given their lives in. the war Thousands of people complained that they had been overlooked by the pen sions department and returned sol diers, incapacitated by injury, were not getting allowances.
 The league is the most comprehen- sive scheme yet suggested for dealing with the pensions problem. It is pro- posed that membership shall, for sums varying from six pence (12 cents) to one pound, be open to all directly as- sociated with the issue of pensions that is potentially the whole of the army and nayy-tO their wives and de- pendents, and to anyone else who is in the welfare Of the sol- diers and sailors. The objects of the league include those of representing the returned soldier in parliament" " watching the administration of pen sions,'' protecting the future interests
