PROMISED LAW OPENS RICH
RESOURCES OF WESTERN
LANDS TO DEVELOPMENT

Keen interest is being taken in de-
vclopments at Washington which in
dicate the unlocking of the vast ma
tural resources of the west at an early
day.
Coal, phosphates, oil, gas, potas-
sium and sodium deposits on the pub
lie domain at last are to be brought
forth for the peoples use.
The United States Senate, as to
such land development legislation, has
been deadlocked for more than a year.
However, a measure upon which all
senator's apparently are able to agree
is now at hand.
Under the compromise about to be
effected, the western commonwealths
can congratulate themselves on con-
ccssions absolutely withheld from
them in the first stages of the leasing
bill negotiations. Thru the insistence
of Senator Shafroth and other west
ern senator's, who held out firmly
against the imposition of a system Of
landlordism in regions wherein the
government maintains its hold on vast
expanses of non-taxpaying, non-de-
veloped domain, so per cent of all the
moneys received from royalties and
rentals under the provisions of the
proposed act will be paid to the states
wherein federal leased premises are
situated, said receipts going for the
support of public schools and for the
construction of public improvements.
The remaining so per centum of such
moneys is to become part of the
reclamation fund.
Another important victory for the
westerner lies in the provision where
By any state within which govern
ment lands are owned and leased may
tax the output thereof or the interest
of any lessee of the same, including
any improvements or fixtures there
on, or both. Any state also may sell
and convey such interests to satisfy
the lien of any tax imposed.
Incidentally, with this legislat on. il
it is passed, there is to be new order
of things as to in,iisr,iminate with
drawals by executive order of lands
containing coal, III, gas, potassium or
sodium deposits. Thu the intrrposi-
ton of Senator Shafro'h, it is pr
posed that CIagrsis n.reafte- shall
debate and determine such undertake
ings where Withdrawals are for Z
pc, cd longer than oda year. Tl.s. Il

BRINGS N BLACK CATTLE
TO STEAMBOAT SPRING

Pilot.
J. ". Miller, who last year bought
the fine Jack" Ellis ranch on Elk
river, returned last week from a trip
through Kansas and Oklahoma, where
he went to buy stock for his ranch.
He brough, in fine bunch Of eighty
four Galloway cattle, including forty
registered COWS, and two hiEh-grade
bulls, sevcnty-six Of the cows having
calves by their sides. Mr. Miller has
been investigating for some time the
merits Of the Galloways and has ar
rived at the conclusion that their long.
black hair is. just the thing for pro-
lection against hard winters that may
visit this section. He has found that
they thrive in the coolest weather
while others, especially those shipped
from southern states, dcteriorate rap

The best way to cat green corn so

alone with the corn and then let the
corn fly where it may. 1t is a good
plan to wear a diving suit, without
the helmet, when engaged in the pleas
ant acrobStic stunt Of eating green

POTATOES BEING SHIPPED FAST

Delta Independent:
Potato buyers have been as busy as
bees this week and many carloads
have been shipped. Market has varied
but has not gone below s1.50, which
was the price yesterday. This is not
quite as high as the closing price last
season, but one which brings a fine
profit to the grower, at that.
The potato crop is a big one here
this year and will bring lots of money
to the community. We understand
that Jos. Shaffer has sold part of his
crop at $50 and made $3.50. per acre
at that figure. We are further in
formed that Tom Ryan will make $500
per acre from his spuds.
Year after year what is there that
will beat the old spud for a money
maker?

 It is claimed by fishermen that black cod are more easily caught than any other variety of fish. True they are found only in deep water but they are not particular the kind of bait they take, biting on anything that is dropped near them. Only last week three men came in with 3,500 pounds of black cod they had taken in three days.
 All during the summer and until few days ago black cod sold al three cents per pound, but the price has now advanced to four cents and is firm at the latter figure.
