ability to produce power by burning
not only the cheapest grades OF
natural mineral oils and the by-prod-

vegetable and animal oils. Indeed, it
is said it can use peanut oil almost
as effectively as mineral oil.

Congress Cuts Down Appropriation
For Citizens Militry Training Camps.

Advance information of the Army
Appropriation Act shows that the
budget for Citizens Military Training
Camps has been materially reduced.
This has made necessary reduction
in the number of men that can be ac-
cepted for training at the camps this
summer. The quota for the Eighth
Corps Area which includes the States
of Texas. Oklahoma, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona, has been reduced
from $500 to 2SO0.
Under this quota the allotment to
the camps in the Corps Area has been
changed as follows: TO Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas-11OO instead of 1900 as
originally planned; to Ft. Sill, Okla
homa-lOOO instead of 1900; to Fort
Logan, Colorado-500 instead of 600.
The assignment of 200 students to the
camp at Ft. Hauchuca, Arizona is the
only one that remains unchanged in
the Corps.
Due to this reduction of almost 20
per cent it is expected that many
more applications will be received in
the Corps Area than can be accepted.
1t is therefore advisable for young
men who desire to attend the camps
to make request for application as
early as possible. If applicants are
otherwise qualified, their acceptance
will be determined by date their ap-
plication is received.
For information or application
blanks, write to C. NJ. T. C. Officer,

resentative, upon recommendation OF
the local organization.
Term of Appointment-On the start
of the organization lots shall be drawn
designation one third of the members
for one year term, one third for two
year term. and one third for three year
term. Following this plan, one third
of the Council membership will be ap-
pointed each succeeding year to serve
for three year period. Vacancies shall
be filled in the regular manner pre-
scribed for appointing new members.
Representative from Unorganized
communication member shall be
appointed to the Council from such
unorganized communities, which in the
opinion of the Board of County Com
missioners, are entitled to representa-
ton.

members realizing there is neither pay
nor mileage allowed for the work. 1t

Snow Storm.

Lamar and the surrounding country
was visited today by a general snow
storm and while it may do a million
dollars worth of good, it came in such

STATE LAND
Colorado's Land Is Still Not Quite
Half Patented But viii BE by
End of 1923.

The combined national forest, state
land and homestead land areas of the
state at the beginning of 1928 amount
ed to 24,195,656 acres, or 36.46 per
cent of the total area of the state, ac-
cording to compilations made by the
State immigration Department for use
in the 1928 edition of the Colorado
Year Book. At the same time the
patented land area of the state amoun-
ted to 32,192,O22 acres, or 1852 per
cent of the total area. The remainder,
amounting to 9,953,446 acres, of 1902
per cent of the total area, consists of
government land temporarily with
drawn from entry, national parks and
monuments, Indian land, homestead
land tlat has been entered and not
yet proved up and state land that has
been sold but not yet paid for and
patented.
The amount of state land sold and
not yet patented is approximately 77O,-
900 acres. The area of national parks
and monuments in the state is approx
imately $4,000 acres and the area of
Indian lands within the state is APP
proximately 396, 900 acres. This leaves
approximately S,469,OO0 acres of gov
ernment land temporarily withdrawn
from entry and homestead land that
has been entered but not yet proved
up. By far the greater part of this
is homestead land now in the process
of being proved up.
About one-half of the classified pat
ented land in the state is national for
ests. The total national forest area
is 13,29O,354 acres, or 20 per cent Of
the total area. The open homestead
area is 1851 1868, or ll.9S per cent OF
the states area, and the unapproprfat-
ed state land is 1888 $40 acres, or 4.45
per cent of the area. Homestead and
state land area are decreasing stead
lily each year, though not very rapid
| ly at the present time. The patent
ed area is increasing rather rapidly
and will be more than one-half the
total area OF the state at the begin
ming of 1924.
In that part of the state lying east
of the mountains more than 50 per
cent of the land is patented and in
some counties as high as 95 per cent.
Unpatented land in this district con-
sists chiefly of state land, homestead
land not yet proved up and a small
amount of unentered homestead land.
The national forest areas are found
chiefly in the counties in the central
part of the state, while most of the
remaining homestead area is on the
western slope. Only one county, Rio
Blanco, has as much as so per cent of
its area yet open to homestead entry,
but several counties in the mountain
Gus districts have more than so per
cent of their area included in the ma
tional forest areas, the largest per-
centage being 80, in Mineral county
