Washington Letter,
By Edward Keating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
Colorado is to be congratulated
on her representation in the up
per house of Congress. Senators
Thomas and Shafroth constitute
a truly great team. Ido not say
this merely because our Senators
happen to be members of the po
litical company with which I af
filiate, but because I believe their
labors have been so varied and
important that they deserve frank
rccognation.
1 have not much respect for
.he "pork-barrel” statesmen
the type of legislator who is al
ways dodging debatable quest
ions and who would trade h's im
mortal soul for an appropriation
for a new Postofltee in bis dis
trict.
Thomas and Shafroth do not
belong to that class and yet when
it comes to “delivering thegoods
*' on matters of peculiar interest
to Colorado, they have made a
record which has probably never
been excelled.
Shafroth,s action in putting the
bill fertile relief of desert land
riitrymen as a ” rider” on the
urgency deficiency appropriation
hill was a master stroke and is a
striking example of the way
C. i orado’s Sena tors sec ure resu Its
v. i.en they put their shoulders to
C <• legislative wheel.
As I have stated before; this
is the mist important piece of
I ii.-l legislation put through Con
i -ess in recent years. Thous
: mis of settlors throughout the
West will benefit.
The hill as drafted by the In
t . ior Department was so liberal
licit I very seriously question if
i' would have passed the House
i the ordinary way without
: niendments intended to devita-
I. ■it. Shafroth realized this
end determined to attempt the
unusual offer it as ail amend
ment to an appropriation bill.
A single objection would have
defeated the plan, but the Sena
tors earnest plea for the settlors,
combined with his personal pop
ularity, triumphed. Once the re
lief measure was made a part of
the appropriation bill it was easy
for the Western members of the
House to smooth the way for its
passage through that body.
Senators Thomas and Shafroth
are comparatively new members
of the Senate, but through the
sheer force of their ability and
industry they are already recog
nized leaders, on every big issue
that conies before the upper
House. It is no exaggeration to
3ay that if it had not been for
their unfaltering loyalty. Presi
dent Wilson’s programe of tarriff
and currency legilation would
have either failed or been emas
culated.
In the next Congress, it is safe
to predict, they will be even i
more influential.
RETIREMENT OF FERGUS
SON.
The retirement of Congress
man Harvey Fergusson of New
Mexico deprives the West of one
of its abelest representatives in
the lower House. He will be re
membered as the author of the
640 Acre or ' grazing” homestead
bill.
After a very hard fight he suc
ceeded in putting this bill thru
the House but it died in the Sen
ate. It will be reintorduced in
the next Congress and in all
probability will pass, as Fergus
son has dulled the edge of ihe
opposition. Then someone else
will claim whatever glory at
taches to the enactment on the
legislation, but those who are
familar with Fergusson's millitan
presistent struggle to aid the set
tlers will always hold him in af
fectionate esteem as a statesman
who served his people fa’thfully
and well.
VKOOMAN AND GRAVES.
It is announced that Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Carl
Vrooman and Chief Foster 11. S.
Graves will make an extended
tour of Colorado during May or
June. These g« ntltman are the
cheif excetiuve officers of the fed
eral forestery service and there
fore jurisdiction over about out -
fifth of the surface of our state
Viewed from that angle, '.hair
visit is a notable one and may be
productive of important result to
Colorado"
Vrooman is looked upon as one
of the ‘‘live wires” of the Wilson
administrrtion3. He com 33 from
Illinois, is a Democrat of the
most progressive type, has writ
ten half a dozen books on travel
and political economy, his circl
ed the globe so many times he
has lost count of the trips and,
incidentally is one of the
wealthiest farmers of the middle
West. He has turned forty, an 1
is so full of energy and ideas that
he promises to revolutionize the
work of the Agricultural Depart
ment.
Foster Graves is another young
man of great promise. When he
succeeded Gifford Pinchot as
head of the Forestry Bureau the
west received him coldly, and
I imagine he was just a litt'e sus
picious of the West. All this is
gradually changing. Graves
knows more about the West,
than he did five years ago, and
Westerners have discovered that
the frank, clear-eyed young man
is not t'i>ir enemy. He hu one
of the biggest mobs under the
national Government and lie sizes
up to it.
I am convinced that Vrooman
and Graves want the forestry
service to work in harmony with
the people of the West and that
they will do any thing within
reason to remove the causes of
friction. Any indvidual or group
of individuals with grievance
against the services will have
ample opportunity o present it
while our distinguished visitors
are in Colorado ard they should
not hesitate to come forward and
‘‘have their say”.
The forestry service is in the
West to stay, let us face the sit
uation and see to it that the na
tional forests are made a blessing
and not a curse to our people.

PROSPECT HILL
Last Thursday we ventured a
little beyond our usual beat and
brought up at Commissioner Geo.
Mayfield’s. Tne first operations
of the season we observed there.
Oscar Mayfield was preparing
some fallow ground to seed to
bailey, and the rich soil was in
fine shape. Mrs. Geo. Mayfield
has been poorly for the winter,
but is improving as spring ad
vances. Since they moved up
out of the bottom and planted
their improvements on a beauti
ful hill, it is like the scriptural
one, “it cannot be hid.”
The same day we met Mr. Kil
lian returning from John Wyants’
where he had purchased a load
of barley which he will sow on
the Arthur Stump ranch. He
occupies that ranch.
Mr. Durfee was next to greet
us on the road, he is also an ex-
Clark countian. He chaperons
his grand son in a three mile trip
to school and se.es that no biting
blasts harm him in his young ef
forts for an education. This is
right. Great care should be ex
ercised for the children across
broad stretches of prairie, as we
have it out here.
Warren Givens was also a trav
eler, and heading for the popular
mart of Arapahoe, interogating
him, we found that he was in de
mand in many places at once.
Kit Carson county people have
learned of his skill as threshing
and well digging and much of
the winter has been spent up
there. Just now he is sinking a
well for himself with a fair pros
pect for water.
The writer and wife found a
dinner party at the home of Rev.
McNab, in Arapiho?, on Satur
day’. Mr. and Mis Geo. Howard
and Mr. J. B. Wyant and Mrs.
Flem Wyant and Jesse Dunton
completes this company. With
the pastor and his wife there
were nine, one more than came
over in the ark, and we conclud
ed that if those who made that
notable voyage were as bounti
fully fed and entertained as we
were it was a voyage all too short.
Bro. McNab is a Scotchman and
his wife a Missourian, a combina
tion to their gredit anywhere.
This was our first meal at the
ministers, but not our first invi
tation. and we hope it will not be
as long between meals next time.
