Car Overturns.

A Dodge car from Eugene, Oregon,
was overturned on the road just east
of the NJ. j. McAIillin ranch last Sat
urday, and resulted in bad spill. The
car in some manner jumped over the
side of the road and turned upside
down, MASKING the top and only the
large amount of baggage stored in
the back saved the occupants from be-
ing crushed. Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Sher-
man of Eugene, were in it, and Mr.
Sherman was badly cut. They were
taken to Granada where Mr.. Sher-
man received medical attention. The
car was almost a complete wreck.

Legion Dance.

The biggest dance ever given in La
mar will be the one tomorrow evening
at the State Armory given by Walter
l.. Bennett Post, American Legion.
The Matt Jerman orchestra of Pueblo
will furnish the music and the re-
sponses from the outside and the sale
of tickets at home indicate it will be
an affair long to be remembered in
our city. The proceeds of the dance
are to be devoted to helping the Ma
tional Guard units to pay the expenses
OF installing their radio set and broad
casting station. 1t will be the first
broadcasting station in this part of the
state as well as the finest radio re-
ceiving set. The cost of installation
is heavy but the indications are that
the Legion dance will go far to pay
ing off the entire bill. The radio will
be in operation that night and add to
the entertainment of the big crowd.

ECONOMICAL BOARD
Committee COmmends Live Stock
Commissioners.

Economy in the administration Of
public affairs of the State Board of
Stock Inspection commissioners was
commended in a report made in the
House of Representatives yesterday by
the special committee appointed to in
vestigate state institutions. This COM
mittee consisted of j. W. Calkins, A.
E. Headlee and James ]. Eubanks.
After criticising some Of the state
Institutions for extravaganza and very
poor business management, the COM
mittee says:
"As illustrating what can be done
In the way of economy in the admin
istration of public affairs, we direct
attention to the conduct of the de-
partment of the live stock inspection
commissioners. In the last three years
that board has decreased its office
force by nine members, making a to-
tai saving to the state per year at
this time of 81, 700, Notwithstanding
the fact that this department had
more work to perform the past seas
on than ever before
The committee urged thorough in
vestigation of all state institutions and
all state departments, and suggested
the appointment of another special in
vestigating committee to report to the
next general assembly.-Record Stock
man, Mar. 29, 1923.
NJ. j. McMillin of Carlton has been
the valley representative on this board
for years and during part Of the time
mentioned was its chairman. His eff
forts have always been for efficiency
and economy.

The Court Jester.

1t was thought that with abolition
of kings the position of court jester
had gone into disuse, but it now seems
that the people of the state of Colo
rado elected village cut-up as chief
executive of the state. At least when
caught in deliberate lie with regard
to the consideration of an important
public bill, he crawled out by stating
he was just playing practical joke
on members of the legislature and had
supposed everybody knew it was joke
all the time. The daily papers OF the
state published the statement under
scare heads at the time and If 1t was
a joke they evidently failed to discov-
er It.

Between HoOpole Township and

When Teddy Roosevelt was crossing
the country in 1898 making a nation
wide reputation as the toughest rough
rider of them all his train stopped at
Lamar and he took one look down
Main street and pulled the bell-rope
to go ahead. Mix for me-" he said,
"that's worse than San Juan hill" He
crossed the country several time af-
terwards but always avoided Lamar
We had inside information all the time
as to his reason but loyalty to Lamar
forbade our mentioning it until now
The knell has rung and Camel Boule-
vard-sometimes called Main street
is soon to be thing of the past. Speed
the dayl The Strang Mcclure outfit
is on the road to start work at once
grading the street for the new bith-

COLORADO FARM LAND
Irrigated Area Now Less Than Nine
Per Cent of Patented Agricul-
tural Land.

At assessment time in 1922 there
was 3O,5sO,922 acres of patented sRri-
cultural land in Colorado, or 46.1 per
cent of the total area, according to
compilations made by the State Immi-
grafton Department from the reports
of county assessors. The total pat
ented area at the same time was g.
lO6,994 acres, the remainder being
principally mineral land, railroad
rights of way and town and city lots.
There is still more than 10000, 900
acres of agricultural land in the state
not on the tax rolls, so that the total
amount of agricultural land is above
40O0O,OOO acres, or nearly two-thirds
thine area of the state. This includes
considerable amount of grazing land
that can never be cultivated profit
ably, but does not include the noun
famous grazing areas in the national
forests.
The unpatsnted agricultural land
consists principally of state and home
stead land, much of which is already
occupied but not yet patented. There
is still perhaps 1900, 900 acres of agri-
cultural land belonging to the state
and the federal government that has
not yet been sold or homestsaded.
Assessors reports for 1922 placed
the area of patented grazing land In
the state at 1881 ,6l8 acres, or 55.5S
per cent of the patented agricultural
land. Considerably more than half of
this land lies in the agricultural dis
tricts, is level and fertile and will ul-
timately be placed under cultivation.
Some of it has actually been under
cultivation but is not being cultivated
at present
The area clsssed as non-irrigatsd
farming land is 11,087 ,5e8 acres or
s6.l per cent of the patented agricul-
tural land. A considerable amount Of
this has never been broken, but prac-
tically all Of it is susceptible of cul-
tivation. More than 80 per cent Of
this land is to be found east of the
mountains.
Assessors reports place the irriRat-
ed area at 1851, TAI acres, or S.38 per
cent of the patented agricultural area.
This includes fruit land and native hay
land. The area for which irrigation
water is available is considerably
greater than this, or above 100000
acres, but the figures given by as
SCISSORS generally include only the land
being actually cultivated under irrigs-
ton,
