offering to compromise with the government,
and urging prompt acceptance on the ground
that the seizure has caused suspension of
business which, it is declared, will surely bring
misery. suffering and want to many of the peo
pie. Every hours delay adds to this loss, says
the telegram, and an expected freshet threatens
great loss of logs, which will injure all con.
cerned. The signers declare that they appreci-
ate the policy of President Hayes and are sor-
ry that anything has occurred to place them in
false position.
For the Healing of the Nation.
The President has issued an Executive order
reserving Pagosa Hot Springs and one square
mile of land surrounding them in Colorado, as
