Proposed Forestry Legislation

Proposed Forestry Legislation.
A series of meetings have been held
recently in Denver between the forestry
people and those especially interested
in the preservation of game and fish;
the object Of these meetings being to
effect, IL possible, some combination Of
their interests which might be mutually
advantageous. Under the present laws
there is provision for state forestry
commissioner and for state fish COM
missioner. The latter also acts as game
and fish warden and has in that con-
nectiou quite extensive police functions.
In the official report Of the fish commits
sioner Of December, 1892, strong recon-
mendation was made that that Office be
relieved from the duties OF protecting
the wild game and fish in order that
greater efficiency might be gained in the
matter of the propagation and distrlbu-
ton OF fish and other work Of that ma
ture. The forestry people, for the sake
Of securing the aid Of the game and fish
wardens, proposed to assume in ad-
dition to their forest duties the care Of
the game and game fish. This, how
ever, is not now acceptble to those who
claim to represent the game and fish in
terest, and the prospect is that bills
somewhat conflicting In their scope will
be introduced at the present session of
the general assembly. One measure, In
the interest Of the fish and game party,
will seek to combine In one bureau the
control Of the forests, Gsh and game.
While the other might be called a
straight forestry bill which, IL enacted,
would not materially affect the fish and
game laws, but would strengthen the
forestry laws, giving the forest commits
sioner more means with which to carry
on his work. The latter proposition Is
not to create double set Of officers for
the same work, nor To increase the ap-
propriations, but to keep both the fores-
try and Ash departments alive. aud
make some equitable distribution Of
funds between them--letting each do its
work in its own way. This, we think,
would he eminently fair and just. 1t
would be unfortunate TO merge the for
est interest In something else, or,
through mistaken views OF economy,
combine 1t with other things which have
little In common with with forestry
work. Our native forests bear Inn
Of the state and Irrigation question, and
~ such are Of vastly more value to the
state than ~ mere nsh and game pre-.
serves. Wise and not iIiiberai measures
should be adopted in that behalf. Colo

Two full-blown investigation commit
tees are now in operation in Denver
exposing the crookedness of the late
administration in this state. One COM
mittee represents the senate and has a
fopuiist majority in its makeup, while
the other committee represents the
house and has Republican majority
among its members. The senate COM
mittee got to work first, and, very much
to its credit, is showing up the official
rascality In the offices presided over by
McClees, Murray, Callicotte, ct al, in
fine shape. The house committee is
also doing good work on the same lines.
1t now looks as though the only honest
man in late administration would turn
out to be the Grand Old Anarchist
himself, even If he did plunge the state
into 100000 additional debt on account
OF his Denver and Cripple Creek wars.
In this issue of THE HERALD appears
an article from the Colorado Springs
Telegraph commenting on bills now be-
fore the legislature in relation to forest
and game preservation. One bill seeks
to unite with the game warden's duties
that OF forest commissioner, while the
other aims at the maintainance of sepa-
rate departments for the care and tos-
tering Of the two interests named. We
are not In position to speak on the
merits of either bill, not having seen
either, but if we were to express ran
dom opinion, it would be to the effect
that we see no reason why the preser-
walton OF both the forests and game
should not be under one head. While a
deputy game warden is on the lookout
for game law violators he could see to it
that the forests are not wantonly de-
stroyed.

opponent In the eye In presence OF an at

HIS OWN OBITUARY.

A somewhat remarkable incident In
connection with the recent death of Myron
H. Cole, the ex-humane agent, happened
In The Bee editorial rooms two or three
days before his demise.
He came In and sat down at the city
editors desk. He had often visited the
Office and always had an interesting item
of news to impart, generally on horses and
horsemen.
II want you to read this, he began as
he produced several sheets Of closely writ
ten manuscript.
Thinking 1t was one OF tho usual items,
the city editor picked up the sheets and
glanced over the Introductory lines.

About five hundred people assembled
on the Dexter street grounds yesterday af-
ternoon to witness game OF base ball

they were doomed to disappointment, for
while the teams met II was not what could
be called a game 1t was onlya foot race.
The only difference In regard to running
was that while the visitors were chasing
the ball around the lot, and sometimes
outside, the members of the homo team
were trotting around thel bases. II was
the most complete slaugh hter ever seen
here and thirty.two times the scorers
were obliged to chalk down arun for Paw

when Waldron, the first man up, raped
out q two bagger and the rest Of
the boys followed suit, Wheeler began
to kick and said the distance between the
box and home plate was not correct. He
continued to pitch until the hfth inning
when he "threw up tho sponge" In dis.
gust and Sharrot took his place. Jack
lasted about half an inning and during
that time he concluded that he Was out OF
his element.
Haywood took bis place and although
he was not Success he did better than
the others.

FORTUNES IN BOYS.
Chicago Training Schools on tho Hunt For
dependent" Children.

"Dependent' Ch1ldren.
Boy farming has suddenly become a
great industry In Chicago. The last legis-
lature made some amendments to the act
concerning dependent children. AS the
Law now stands, every training school for
boys Is to get $40 month from the county
for every boy committed to its charge, and
this whether the county board has agreed
to 1t or not.
The training schools have agents out
hunting for boys who can be brought un.
der the wide definition the statute gives of
a dependent" boy, or parents who are
willing to get rid Of their children.
The result Is tenfold increase In the
number of alleged dependent" boys. The
county board today resolved to fight the
steal In tho courts.
There Is q profit Of s5 month to the
school on each boy. II school can hunt
up 10, 900 boys, 1t can make 800, 900 n year
profit out OF the county. And, as boys are
committed until they arc 81 years old,
each becomes u very profitable Investment.
