Lee Fohl thought Bayne was COM

he counted upon his development as
one of the big factors for possible
success. Danforth. too, was reckoned
as good for more than a dozen VIC
tories, but after winning five and los
Ing two he has been suddenly dropped
and very good possibility is lost.
Pruett went so well for while that
the Browns figured they had caught
wonder. His winning percentage is
only .456 now. The wonder days are
postponed until 1928.
What seems to menace the Browns
Is that their pitchers are what are
known as tender" The majority of
them cannot be pushed. If they are
playing at their limit, as seems to be
the case, will they be able to stand
a challenge from the Yankee pitch
ers. who are apt to have more in
reserve when crowded? 1t is more
than likely that the American League
pennant is going to hang on that
one point.

Although no changes in the rules
will be made until the next annual
meeting, sentiment among the club
owners was so strong against late
season transactions that revisions of
the base ball code to advance the
time limit on sales and trades be-

are assured when the base ball laws
are overhaufed.

this change, they also voiced approval

COLORADO LAND
How Divided and Per Cent Still Held
by State and National
Governments.

Compilations made by the State I'M
migration Department show that in
1921, 1854 per cent of the total area
of the state WAS patented land, 1929
per cent homestead land, 20.03 per
cent national forests, 4.47 per cent
state land, and the remainder, being
1867 per cent, was unclassified as to
ownership. This unclassified land is
chiefly homestead land that has been
filed on but not proved up and gov
ernment land temporarily withdrawn
from homestead entry for various
reasons.
There has been a steady increase in
the area of patented land in the state
in recent years, due chiefly to the pat
enting of homestead and state land.
In 1920. 44.41 per cent of the area of
the state was patented, and in 1919,
It was 1921 per cent. The area of
homestead land is decreasing rapidly,
and the area of state land is decreas-
ing steadily but more slowly At the
present increase in area of patented
land half the area of the state will
be on the tax rolls sometime in 1924.
The area Of homestead land in the
state now is only little more than
.sooo 900 acres. compared with nearly
The Lamar register., 1922-01-18
100000 acres in 1916.

Costello county has n larger per-
centage of its area on the tax rolls
than any other county-99.6 per cent.
This is due to the fact that almost the
entire area of the county was includ-
ed in old Spanish or Mexican land
grants when it was ceedcd to the Unit
ed States by Mexico. for which reason
there has never been any considerable
amount of state or national forest land
in the county Among the leading
famous areas, Kit Carson county ranks
first in percentage of patented land,
with 94.S3 per cent, and Cheyenne
county second, with 934S per cent.
Hinsdale county has but 3.52 per cent
of its land on the tax rolls, this being
the lowest percentage shown by any
county. Four other counties, Dolores,
Mineral, San Juan and Summit, have
each less than 10 per cent of their
areas in private ownership. Moffat
county has the largest percentage of
homestead land-63.23 per cent. Min
eral county has the largest percentage
of national forest area-93.22 per cent.
Five counties, Arapahoe, Costilla, Den
yer, Mineral and San Juan, have no
homestead land or less than 0.01 per
cent of the total area, while % coun-
ties have no national forest area with
in their borders. Every county in the
state has some state land with the ex
ception of Delta county, though Mesa,
Montrose, Garfield and Rio Blanco
have each less than 20 acres.
