and professed to think Mrs. FolAon las

cRusoE.s ISLAND DISAPPEARS.

Reported SINKING ol J0aa Yssnnodss
land By Volcanic Action.
A few weeks ego q vessel putting in
at Lisbon after a trip around Cape
Horn, reported the destruction by vol
canic action of the Juan FERNANDEZ
Island, famous a. the scene OF 'Rcbin-
son Crusoe." The master claimed to
have seen the catastrophe from the
deck Of his vessel. The report was not
given credence at the time by scieutific
men, and many denials were printed in
papers and magazines. But Capt
Powells, of the British ahip James Kerr,
asserts that the story is generally be-
lievcd by seafaring men all over the
world. The James Kerr has recently
arrived from Newcastle, N. 8: where
she was laid up four months on account
Of the coal mine strike. Capt. P6wells
met . very large number Of master
mariners there, and says that thA de-
struction Of the ialand was matter of
common gossip among them. ne
captain himself has not passed within
sight Of the ialand aimee 1889, when be
secured . photograph Of It from TIM
deck Of his ship. He says that some Of
the captains who arrived In Newcastle
while he was there verified the report,

About eight inches fell in this vicin-

On Tuesday 1t commenced showing
again, accompanied by high winds, and
a fine, fiowery grade Of the "beantiful''

curry dropped to 10 below that night.
About Is inches Of snow lay on the level

Licensinx Hunt.n

Ths Steamboat Democrat b piteAins
into Representative Shssidaa st . lively
rate for having ''fathered" Hoass Bill
No. 100. which hs introdaosd, b re-
quest, in the early part Of ths saaston.
Ths hill requires all resident hasesrs
in each county to take out . hssnss
which shall cost so cents for ths peivil-
ege OF hunting in that county aapne.
A state license. emitting The hoadsr to
hunt all over the state. only costs q.
To our mind, this il tho most object
able feature Of the bill. It II too fidic-
iously low. Make tho state license At
least IS and let 'er 20 At that.
A penalty of from SO to $50 Il 70 be
imposed for violation Of any Of The pro-
visions Of the bill.
Speaking of the bill on its msrits. We
think it is all right barring ths ex-
tremeiy low fec proposed for state
license. This should be IS. As to the
county license, we believe that yery few
Of the permanent residents Of this
county would object to paying % cents
q year for the privilege Of hintiug
legally within its borders. ~ rs
A law such As the one outlined shove
would protect Rio Bianco county game
from the horde Of Grand river people
who have been coming into this county
every fall and slaughtering deer BY the
thousands.
We believe in preserving our game
for the permanent residents and tax
PAYERS Of the county.
We don't understand the reasons for
our Steamboat contemporary hostility
to bill 1870. Such a bill would certainly
help to protect the game Of Routt county
against the great army Of prostectors
who will invade it next summer.

The Norvell cattle reached Woicott
without losing nesh to any great extent.
The driving Of beef cattle to market in
the winter promises to be very i'm
portant feature Of the cattle industry In
this county. Tho market is always bet
ter In the winter than In the summer,
and those who have shipped in the win
ter have always realized handsomely.-

The Routt county stockmen are urg-
ing the passage Of Senator Taylor's bill.
which provides that range stockmen
shall keep at least one bull on the range
with every thirty head Of COWS or frac-
ton thereof. This is q good law and
ought to pass.
The Meeker herald., 1897-04-03

We don't see how range cattlemen
can escape heavy loss in consequence Of
this weeks snow storms. Up until last
week it was generally conceded that
range stock had wintered In fine shape.
but this week will witness a reversal Of
the situation. We hope, however. that
things will not turn out as bad as antic-
ipated.

made no noise about this little phase Of
our harmonious dispositions, either.
