Chinese-Japanese war is looked for with
in the next few days or two weeks by
those most interested and best informed

have been gradually closing in around
Peking, and that the invading army is
compelled, by force oi circumstances, TO
strike their blow al once or not at all.
The intense cold, which comes abou.
the middle OF October, makes this i'm

The Park Not Wanted.

One DR.. Denison of Denver sets up
a vigorous howl against the reduction
of the White river reserve as outlined
by Colonel Ensign. The doctor, who is
one of the original promoters of the
park, wants the boundaries left as they
are. He calls the project a national
park" and wants it created and main
tained for the preservation of game.
Colonel Ensign calls it a timber reserve
and the cardinal idea with him is the
preservation of the forests.
If the government would consult the
wishes of the settlers of this county
neither national park nor timber re-
serve would be established, as either
would be detrimental to our interests as
a county.
1t must not be taken for granted that
the citizens of Rio Blanco county are
opposed to preserving the game and
forests, for such are nc5 tie facts in the
case. All the bona iide settlers of the
county are as anxious fOr the preserva-
