Live STOCK LOSSES

Information from some localities
indicate that the Iosscs of live
stock by the cold weather may not
he anything like as great as has
been predicted. The stockman is
u good deal like the farmer. The
latter is always throwing up his
hands over the certain failure of
his fruit or crop which rarely ever
happens. The frost, weevil, rust
or chinch bug are always credited
with more destruction than they
really inflict.
The terrible weather that Colo
RADIO and the whole mountain
region have been having has been
discouraging to live stock owners,
but cattle, horses and sheep that
enter the winter in good condition
can endure many days of both
cold and hunger without loss of
life, and it was agreed that stock
of all kinds was in fine flesh last
fall. More than this, in almost
every locality there is more or less
feed where formerly there was
none at all.
If there are heavy losses any
where it doubtless is where cattle
drifting before a storm encoun-
tered wire fence. So long as
they can keep travelling with the
storm tbey are likely to outlive its
force, but they will not turn back
and if compelled TO stand still will
succumb to the cold.
But there are no great herds on
the plains as formerly, and while
there no doubt will'be severe losses
in particular places it is not likely
that heavy losses have up to the
present time been general. The
real danger is to come later when
cattle, weakened by the severe
winter, nre unable to extricate
themselves from marshy places
caused by tho thawing weather of
April. il.-Castle Rock Mascot.

TO GIVE A BANQUET.

The Fourteen Friends met in regular
session at Hotel Best Thursday night.
The meeting was specially interesting
from the fact that was discussed at
length, the prospects of the club giving

matter be left to the discretion of the
standing committee on entertainment,
with the proViso that the committee
make a report at meeting to be held
a week from tonight and for the pur-
pose of listening to the conclusion ar
rived at by that body.
If the entertainment committee of the
Friends will be guided by the wishes of
the two hundred fortunate guests pres
ent at the banquet of the club a year
ago, it will be unanimously decided to
give another such affair this season.
The banquet and dance of last year
was the event in the history of the
society.

Members Transact Routine Business
for Board of Control.

Sessions of the committees on high
and training school building and
teachers of the board of control We're
scheduled for last night. The first
named did not meet. but the others
transacted some routine business.
The most important thing which
came before the teachers committee
was the request of the teachers in the
primary and intermediate grades for
an increase in their salary of $40 per
month. A committee of six teachers
representing the siXty-two teachers in
the above grades, stated the position
of the teachers in these grades and
why they thought that they We're
entitled to the increase asked for. The
committee took no action.
The building committee transacted
a lot of business, the principal part Of
which was in reference to the opening
of several anneXes. They viii recon-
mend the action to the board at it's
next meeting; also the purchasing of
several new lots. The new districts
to be thus supplied are Petersburg and
Trips Park.
