STOCK EXHIBIT TO BE KNOWN
AS THE VICTORY SHOW"
Greater Crowds Than Ever Before
Are Expected to Come to Denver
Week of Jan. 18.

Victory Show" is the name chosen
for the thirteenth annual exhibition
of the National Western Stock Show
association, which opens at the Den
yer stockyards on Jan. Is for a
weeks engagement. It is happy &C.
lection because the present is an hour
for victorious rejoicing. A year ago,
whe the last show was given, there
were dark days. Every effort was be-
ing bent to create food supplies thru
out the world and this was urged a
the chief reason why q show should
be held, that 1t might stimulate the
government plans. There was little
Joy in the occasion because the youth
from farm and range was hurrying 70
enlistment camps, and danger threat
ened individuals and nation.
Danger from the epidemic il a1leg-
ed to be over in Denver altho this Of
course means for those who have been
exposed and proved immune.

CLASSIFICATION PUBLIC LANDS
Status Of This Work q Reported d
Ceogressmsn Tayloe By Direetol
ef Geological Survey

( In . recent letter to this section,
Congressman Taylor says that he has
. great many inquiries q to the
status Of the classification Of the 60
acre stock raising homestead lands
and the $40 acre enlarged homestead
lands. Having taken the matter nm
with the director Of the Geological
Survey, in the Directors report are
found the following facts Of particular
interest to the people Of this region,
classification under the stock raising
homestead act:
To date. about 1000 applications for
designation Of lands under this act
have been received in the state. Ap-
proximately one-half Of these have
been disposed Of, the great majority
By favorable action. The total area
designated under this act Is between
one and one-half and one and three
quarter million acres.
The examination Of lands applied
for under the stock-raising homestead
law was begun during the summer Of
1917, and was energetically continued
during the summer Of 1918. As q
result Of this field work, practically
all the pending applications in all
the districts, except Glenwood Springs
and Leadville, have been examined.
Large areas have been designated and
field reports are now in from the
MontrOse district. These reports will
be disposed Of during the present win
ter and spring, hence it is anticipated
that by the opening Of the next field
season . large proportion Of the cases
still awaiting actionNwill be classified
and appropriate recommendations be
made to the Secretary.
Under the enlarged homestead act,
that is, the 800 acre act, more than
|28, ,O00, 900 acres have been designated
In Colorado prior to the first Of this
month. There ere few hundred ap-
