Then again, it may be urged that the

the creation of new department, with

that this would be a recommendation

CITY ELECTION
Quiet Election and Light Vote Polled
in All Wards.

There was little interest taken by
the citizens in the election on Tues
day, and the vote was accordingly
light. There being but one ticket in
the field the people did not feel much
interest as it was a foregone conclus-
ion that they would be elected. There
were three propositions in addition for
the taxpayers to vote on but two OF
these were favored by most of the
people and there was little opposition
to them. Under the circumstances the
vote in wards one and two was larger
than had been expected. There were
1873 votes east at the city hall and S3
at the court house. Over in No. the
vote was lighter only about sixty votes
being cast On some offices there was
considerable scratching in spite of the
fact that there was no concerted op
position and most of the candidates
ran below the total vote. There will
be no actual figures to give out until
the official canvas which will be made
tonight or tomorrow evening, but there
is no question of the election of the
entire ticket and probably the favor
able vote on the three taxpayers prop
osition. The election will result in
few changes in the officials. Mayor
Z. J. Wagner will continue as the head
of the city government and E. A.
Lundgren as city treasurer. s. f.
Cook, who has been city clerk for
eight years. retires now as he was not
candidate for reelection. C. A. Lacy,
who succeeds him, is new man in the
city government and has only been
resident of the city for two years. He
has made many friends among those
who know him and will make salts
factory official. Among the aldermen
there are several changes. In Ward
No. l, E. X. Jones and H. C. Davis
arc members OF the present council,
although Mr. Davis represents n diff
ferent ward. Ward No. 2 returns l.
II. Myers and C. Ray Strain, both
new aldermen but have been members
OF lhe councll IN past years. In ward
No. 3 Bert Merwin is reelected and
John Y. Brown is his associate. Mr..
Brown has also had past experience
on the city council.
The one proposition that created any
decided opposition was the proposed
sale of the eity's water rights in the
Fort Bent Ditch Co. There were many
people who have been using this wa
ter that opposed the sale and until the
figures are all known it will not be
certain that it has carried Ward No.
2 cast 25 votes for and 81 against.
The opposition was also strong in
Ward No. /, but the vote was larger
there.

BARRETT TRIAL
Much Interest in Murder Trial at Las
Animas.

District court convened this week at
Las Animas with considerable sized
docket. The principal interest mani
Tested by the public not only Of Bent
county but of this end Of the valley
is in the murder trial Of d. E. Barrett,
charged with killing Floyd Ham on the
10th OF last December. Leading at
torneys from all over this section of
the country have been engaged on one
side or the other of the case. Judge
CRANKY Hillyer is assisting the prose-
cutting attorney in presenting the
states case. The neighborhood where
the killing occurred is still muchly ex-
cited over the case and there have
been many threats Of more trouble the

CROP ACREAGE MAY
BE DECREASED

Advance reports received by the
State Immigration Department from
various sources indicate that Il e to-
tai acreage in cultivation in Colorado
this year will be somewhat les. than
that for 1920, due chiefly to unsatis-
factory prices for farm products, to
difficulty on the part of farmers in
obtaining money for financing their
operations, to uncertainty about prices
for farm labor and to other similar
causes. Preliminary inquiries indicate
that the acreage devoted to winter
wheat is about 80 per cent of that
planted in 1919, and that there will
be some decreases in area devoted to
spring wheat There is also indication
of decrease in acreage of sugar
beets and of field beans and possibly
some decrease in oats and barley. APP
parently there will be a slight increase
in acreage of potatoes and perhaps a
slight increase in acreage of corn and
sorghums. The State Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service learned in re-
sponse to a recent inquiry that con-
siderable number of farms in the non
irrigated farming districts will reduce
the acreage under cultivation. A con-
siderable number of new farms will be
put in operation this year, but not a
sufficient number to counteract the de-
crease in cultivated acreage on old
farms.
The Lamar register., 1921-04-06

Advance reports from the agricul-
tural census for 1919 show that there
was at the beginning of 1920 about
100000 acres of improved farm land
in Colorado, compared with 1902, 1O1
acres in 1910. Improved land as de-
scribed by the census bureau includes
land that is now or has been under
cultivation and all land occupied by
farm buildings and grounds. This
means that the area under cultivation
in the state increased more than g.
900. 900 acres in the past decade. Re
ports collected by the State Immigra-
tion Department through county as
SCISSORS in 1920 showed that about g.
100000 acres was under cultivation in
the state that year, which was the
largest area ever under cultivation
any year in the state except 1919. II
is apparent that about 500 900 acres
of land that has been cultivated lies
fallow each year or is used only for
pasture. The amount of land that is
summer fallowed is increasing rather
rapidly each year, especially in the
non-irrigated districts, where summer
fallowing is a part of the recognized
agricultural program. The value of
acreage reports turned in by county
assessors is well illustrated by the
figures given above. which show that
the assessors are furnishing each year
very reliable information on the acre
age Of all crops under cultivation
which information in the past has been
available only once each decade, thru
the census bureau. Reports collected
by county assessors have also shown
very clearly that estimates of acreage
made by the bureau of crop estimates
are generally unreliable and should be
corrected much oftener than once each
ten years.

rigid culling will do for the average

ers or heavy mixers or both. There
are only 12 mixers, but every one

WARsH|P WORK IN
BRITAIN STOPPED
NO FURTHER LIABILITIES ARE
TO BE INCURRED WITHOUT
RENEWED ORDERS.
affects -FOUR SUPER HOODS
The Four Ships Wsre to Cost Around
$4,000, 900 p. g., the Bulk Of Which
VIII Be Saved by Government

London.-The Admiralty announced
that it had ordered the cessation OF
all work on the four warships of
the snperHood type. The shipbuild-
ing firms were notified not to incur
any further liabilities on new naval
construction until further notice from
the Admiralty.
Officials explained that the practi-
cal effect Of the Admiralty's order
will be the absolute cessation Of all
warship work pending the outcome
of the Washington conference.
Three OF the ships were to have
been built on the Clyde and the fourth
at Newcastleon-Tyne.
The Admiralty order halts work on
all the new warships authorized by
parliament. Actual construction had
not been begun, although 1t is under
stood virtually all the preliminary
work had been completed.
The four ships were to cost about
$4,000, 900 p. s. in all, and the bulk OF
this sum will be saved by the gov.
ernment, as comparatively small
amount is due the constructors for
the work accomplished.

JAPANESE ALSO INTERESTED
The United States Is Not Disposed to
Reduce Below 10000 Tons Her
Proportion of Submarines.

Washington.-Brit desire to dis.
cuss the figures in the American re-
placement program as to submarines
does not surprise American naval OF.
fcers. 1t is fully expected that the
Japanese also will have something
to say on this point,
At the same time, 1t may be said
definitely that the United States Is not
prepared to reduce below $4,000 tons
the proportion Of submarines she
would be allowed to maintain IN the
proposed restriction of fleets. Sub
marines enter vitality into American
schemes of naval defense OF her own
great coast line.
AS insular powers, both Great Brit
ain and Japan are exposed to subma'
rine operations to a degree not true
of the United States, officers say.
There is little doubt among naval folk
here that Great Britain in particular
would welcome absolute prohibition OF
submarine warfare, Or, failing that,
sharp limitation on the use to be made
of underwater craft. That phase Of
the question the writing Of rules to
govern employment, of submarines in
war, will come before the conference
later, as 1t has a definite place on
the agenda with other new agencies
such as aircraft, air bombing raids
and gas.

CHINA PRESENTS TEN POINTS
American Delegation Does Not Want
Negotiations Complicated by the
Creation OF subcommittee.

Washington-Prelim reconnoit-
ering gave way to more direct nego-
tiation in the endeavors of the disar-
mament conference to find solution
for the problems of the Far East.
Sitting as a special committee on
the Far Eastern situation, the heads
of the nine delegations went into con-
ference to outline the respective poll
cies by which each will be guided and
to work out plan Of procedure that
will give each Of these policies a fair
show.
The ten points presented by China
with the general backing Of the Unit
ed States formed the basis Of the days
exchanges, which were designed to
develop step by step the exact atti-
tude of the nine delegations. No one
expected this process to 90 very far
at this meeting, although the discus
sion Of a program was considered cer-
tain to draw out the opinions of the
powers as to the relative importance
of the topics before them.
The opinion Of the American dele
CATION, which appeared to have con-
siderable support among the repre-
sentatives Of the other powers, was
that the Far East negotiations need
not be complicated by the creation
of subcommittee to deal with special
subjects.
