CHANGE OF BUSINESS CALLS
p TO MIND INTERESTING FACTS

Notice in this paper of the dissolution
of the firm of f. J. Sampiner & Co.,
which is succeeded by E. J. Sampiner
of the old firm, brings to mind the in
teresting fact that it was just fifteen
years ago when Mr.. Samplner, with
his brother, J. NJ Ssmpliner, start, d
their dry goods business in our city. in
the store building now occupied by
Times Harness shop.
For seven years, indeed, MIR. E. J.
Sampliner has practically owned and
managed the business here, so that the
change is merely a legal technicsIity.
However, one is bound to recoIlect the
prominent part Mr.. Sampliner has TAX
en- in the advancement of Gunnison,
since that time. His efforts as presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce and
a member of the town council. together
with the encouragement he has given to
worthy enterprises for the town and
county, will all be remembered
And during that time the "Store with
the Big Stock" has steadily climbed
into popularity and financial success,
so that in starting the new year strictly
upon his own footing, friends and bust
ness associates generally will take oc-
casion to congratulate Mr.. Sampliner

GREAT INTEREST IN $40
ACRE HOMESTEAD BILL

Perhaps nothing the News Champion
has published of late has been more
eagerly read than the text of the $40
acre homestead bill which appeared last
Friday. We rather got a scoop on even
the dailies. just happening to catch the
bill as it came in the Congressional
Record from Washington. Practically
every man and woman in the county
is interested in its details, even should
they not care to take up any land under
, its provisions. However, with mil
lion acres of government land lying at
our doors and the desire every man has
to own piece Of land however small,
it will not be surprising TO see large
areas taken if the interior department
is at all liberal in listing tracts.
The bill will do more to settle Colo
rado than any other measure ever pro-
| posed for the benefit of the great West
1t is predicted that in six months after
its passage 60 per cent Of the l3, 600, 600
acres of public lands in Colorado still
open for entry will have been filed upon
and that the stock raising industry will
soon take a place along with mining
and agriculture.
man. for the settler without funds, for
the trail blazer. 1t permits man to
take up $40 acres of land and the total
cost to hun is but S3i The only thing
he is required to do is to live on the
land at least seven months each year
and raise some stock and spend at least
81. 25 an acre for improvements. This
would mean $500 for the sec ton, and
/ of course a settler could hardly live un-
less he spent that much on fences, build
ings and improvements. The law does
not specify what kind of stock is to be
raised. If the filer prefers sheep to
cattle. or horses to sheep, he is given
that privilege by the law.
The tiler must not be deceived as to
the kind of land he is to get. He is
permitted TO take up nothing but land
which is dt for the raising of stock.
The law will not permit him to go on
ioi't "hiSi 10 AOi loi OSl pun Postsy
nor can he take up lands which are
susceptible to irrigation. Thruout the
state there are vast tracts of pasture
for cattle and stock of all kinds.
| The Pueblo Chieftain states that on
January End, applications for 232 home
steads aggregating rs, 900 acres of land
were filed upon in one day--the largest
day business ever done by a land office
in the West.
1t is reported that the land office at
Montrose is beseiged by applicants.
S. Land Commissioner Nourse, who
will accept the filings at Gunnison, tells
US that each application must be accom-
panied by certain afadavits from other
parties detailing that the land in ques-
ton is of the character specified. 1t
will then be withdrawn until the land
office can examine it. The original
filing is in the nature of pre-emption.
That's. it takes precedence of any other
filing or reservation.

MEASURE PASSED OVER GOV
ERNOR'S VETO KILLED lN
UPPER HOUSE.
VOTE 80 TO | TO KILL BILL
Measure Provided That Commission
Of Three Let Contracts For States
Printing in Newspapers On
Competitive Bids.

Little Rock
Despite the fact that the House vot-
ed So to % to override Governor
Brough's veto of the Hardage public
ity act amendment, the Senate voted
33 to / to sustain the veto, thereby
killing the bill once and for all time
The measure provided that a CON-
mission Of three let contracts for the
States printing in newspapers on
competitive bids. Governor Brough,
in his veto message, declared in effect
that the purpose of the publicity act
would be defeated if the bill became
a law, because it would allow small
and "fy-by,night" papers to bid on
State priting at figures substantial
publications could not meet
There was very little hesitancy on
the part of the upper house as to what
It should do with the bill AS soon
as it was read, Senator Collins moved
that the governors veto be sustained,
Senators Emory and Ponder seconded
the motion In one voice. A roll call
was asked for without discussion.
Senator Andrew Cabaniss halted
the proceedings for brief while ask
ing the why's and wherefores for the
"railroading." He then demanded that
the measure be read for information
and then made protest against so
quickly following the action OF the
governor, He declared that the bill
had previously slipped through the
Senate with terry little notice.
Senator Garrett, who was the only
member to vote against the bill, said
it was introduced by the repre-
sentative from his district and he
would favor it.
Senator Caldwell admitted frankly
on te floor that the bill had Slipped
through without much notice. He
asserted that the upper house was
prone to consider the theory and pay
more attention to titles of measures
than to their real contents, and ad-
mitted that he did not know fully the
provisions OF the Hardage measure
until after he had read the governors
veto message in the papers. The Pine
Bluff member said he had opposed as
well as supported administration
measures and was against the gov
ernor on some things about as much
as he was for him on others, but he
declared that he was sure the chief ex-
ecutive had pointed out some very
serious features Of the bill that would
work TO the injury of the publicity act,

Uroes Uniform Assessments.

Mr.. Norfeet said that the bill
would force the assessors of the state
to do their duty and that the citizens
who assess their property every year
will not be called upon to commit per
jury when they swear that their as
sessments are in accordance with the
constitution. If every dollars worth
of property in the state were put on
the assessment books, without any ex-
emptions save those provided for by
the constitution, it would be possible
to greatly lower the rate of taxation,
he said and still realize a much larger
revenue.

Improvement District Act.

The Senate adopted an amendment
exempting Pulaski county from the
bill amending present Improvements
district acts. Senator Ponder, who in
troduced the bill, offered the amend
ment, which had been agreed upon by
the Pulaski senators. Argenta resi-
dents had objected to a provision
which would have permitted the or
ganizati0n Of improvement districts to
include parts of two cities. They op-
posed the provision on the ground
that the city might be dragged into
an improvement district for the build

to the formation of a district for that
purpose because 1T would benefit on
