HOUSEKEEPING Is ON AT
MONTROSE LAND OFFICE

The local United States land Office
is starting its spring house cleaning.
There remains on the books large
number Of homestead entries which
have never been perfected. The force
is going thru the books from the very
first homestead application down to
the present time.
Wherever they find an entry which
has not been perfected, relinquished,
or cancelled, the party making the en-
try will be sent a notice by registered
mail.
Some Of these notices will be re-
turned, as the present address is un-
known. These will be forwarded to
the general land office, which will
Immediately cancel the entry and
throw the land open for future home
stead entry.
Some Of the entrymen do not know
that they have anything more to do,
and will doubtless come in and prove
up.
Others, having moved away, will
relinquish the entry which will be
cancelled, and the land will be ready
for rc-entry.
There are probably a thousand par
GELS Of land thus tied up, embracing
approximately 100000 acres of land
In from 40 to 640-acre tracts.
This is the first real house cleaning
the Office has ever had, and it will be
q great piece Of efficiency. It is sur
prising the large number Of home
stead entries that are not perfected.
They average almost so per cent of
the total, and thus continuing in the
air unless the office makes an especial
effort to get the final action from the
entrymen.
This the office will do and get the
cases disposed Of.

Montrose Press:-
The board of county commissioners
Of Montrose county have decided to
move the county garage from the pres
ent location near the new court house
to the fair grounds.
They will build two-room addition
TO the house on the grounds and will
give the shop foreman, Geo. Mcdonald,
free rental Of it in return for acting as
Waterman Of the garage and fair
grounds.
A building 80 by SO, with cement
floor, will be constructed for garage
purpose, and long shed will be built
from the material in the present one,
in which to store trucks, machines, etc.
The location is on the new ground
added two years ago, and is close to
water and power lines and the arroyo
will afford drainage for the water used
in washing trucks.
A tractor was sent out Friday to
grade the site for the garage and the
county engineer is drawing plans. The
work will start at once and the garage
moved as soon as possible.

WILL TRY TO GET TOGETHER
ON THE RADIO BUSINESS

Washington, March 3-As the White
radio bill did not become law during
the session Of congress just ended,
Secretary Herbert Hoover has asked
for conference Of the navy radio
forces and all the broadcasting stations
of the country to see if some plan can
not be devised whereby the present
confusion on the air circuits cannot be
simplified by the $40 broadcasting sta
tions using the two wave lengths of
800 and 400 meters. Hoover suggests
that the navy move up from 700 me-
ters and the state universities using
800 meters take the navy's place and
let the broadcasting stations work
from $50 to 700 meters.

MANAGEMENT OF HATCHERY

Durango Democrat
Nothing but acknowledgement and
inefiiciency on part of the State Game
and Fish department can be blamed
for the failure of the Durango Hatch
cry to have its customary amount Of
young trout for spring planting. Over
1000, 900 spawn was taken at Electra
Lake last fall and shipped to Denver
and not enough eggs returned to the
Sporting club under their agreement
for allowing the state to take the
spawn. Never In the states history
has the Game and Fish department
fallen so completely down Is It has
under the present management. There
is no fish in the Durango Hatchery
