Law Regarding stray Stock.

The Telluride Journal had occa-
sion, last week, to look up the law
regarding stray stock, and here is
what it found:
In the FIRST place, any man unless
he be householder, the owner of
real property, is trespasser if he
takes up an estray. If he is a
householder he may take up an
estray found in the immediate vi
cinity of his residence. Then with
in FIVE days of taking up the estray
animal he must make out written
description of the animal, setting
forth all marks, brands, or any evil
dences that tend to the identity of
the animal, and present the same
for filing with the county clerk,
who shall endorse thereon the date,
and enter the same on the estray
book The impounder may then
take charge of the animal and hold
until the owner appears. But he
must straightway have the animal
appraised by two householders who
must be sworn before a justice of
the peace and who are allowed 81. so
each for their services. This ap-
praisement must also be recorded in
the estray book as a part of the
original description.
Then again within forty days of
taking up the animal he must cause
to be published for four consecutive
weeks in newspaper at the state
capitol, to be designated by the
Secretary of tie State Stock Asso-
citation, notice describing the
animal and all the facts connected
with the taking up. If within
tveix-sa months tho o,,,,ar doaS ,-ot
appear and claim the animal, the
taker may advertise and sell.
Ii the owner does appear
the statute allows the taker
fifty cents month for keeping the
animal and ali expenses connected
Herewith, all of which, fees, etc.
must be paid by the taker up.

collection of photographs. He will
use these and show by stereopticon
reproduction what has been accom-
Pushed by irrigation. He also has
some diagrams and maps which
convey the startling fact that fully
one-third of the area of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska and is
lands. is still vacant public land.
There is ample water, he says, to
reclaim over 10000. 900 acres of
this.
The National Irrigation Congress
is fortunate in holding this session
in the east, for as never before, the
opportunity is presented to educate
the people east OF the Mississippi to
the fact that there is possibility OF
creating in this western country
homes for millions, and that it is
the right and duty of the govern
ment to carry out the work.
The lesson is being slowly but
certainly taught. says Mr.. Newell.
that reclamation by irrigation on a
large scale cannot be made a source
of profit except under an extraordi-
nary combination of circumstances.
He likens great storage reservoirs
and canals to lighthouses and har-
Dor improvements; they are ueces-
sary and are worth far more than
they cost, but under existing con-
ditions they cannot be made TO con-
tribute exclusively TO the welfare Of
the builders. The indirect gain is
so widely dif'used that the general
public reaps the largest benefit.
Mr.. Newell is a substantial but
conservative advocate of national
irrigation and the wori, of his office
has done much to present the mat
ter in a clear light. The surveys
which he has made show that there
are large number sites suitable for
reservoir storage aud also show the
amounts of water that run to waste
through the different rivers. When
it comes to the construction work
on reservoirs, these surveys will be
found of great value, since the
work MUST be gone at intelligently,
and they should be continued sys-
temat;cally. 1t is probable that q
strong effort will be made this win
ter to secure an appropriation of al
least S25o,ooo for this important
!. work.

THANF1s To rHE ELKs.

The spectacle presented by the streets
Of St. Paul for several hours in succes-
sion Yesterday is one of which every resi-
dent of the city had ample reason to be
proud. There has never been anything
of the kind so entirely promotive of pub
lie and private good feeling since the
memorable days of the ice carnival.
The Elks have the peculiar distinction Of
appealing successfully to the spirit of So
ciability and good fellowship which even
the most cynical are compelled at times
to yield to. They enjoy a popularity
among the masses Of the people which
is not shared i'll anything like equal
measure by any other fraternai order.
The circumstance is due to tile popular
conviction that worldly advantage is the
least of the ends sought by the men who
belong to the order, and that the spirit
of fraternity and good will which anil
mates them is far from being confined in
its expression to those who belong to
their order.
The influence exercised on popular
habits of thought and conduct by such a
body as the Eil1s is Of the most health
ful kind. 1t takes men away from the
absorbing duties of life, and negatives
in every available way the fatal convic-
ton that there is Lo thing in life so
worthy of the energies of man wholly
alive as the acquisition of money. 1t
makes life more agreeable. and enables
the man or woman into whose life care
enters in greater degree than is we'll to
take more hopeful view of besettiug
difficulties
We would be all the bette, for more OF
the good nature which emanatcs from the
Elks and which Will prevail among our
people as the direct result of the pre-
vailing carnival fer the next two weeks.
All work makes Jack dull boy. Con-
start thought on the serious side of life
makes him worse than dull. Good nature
and good health are coming to be re-
garded as convertible terms. The liberal
minded man Is good-humorcd mali.

WHY ROOSEVELT.

The prevailing imperialist cry for
Roosevelt is a cry of fear. No one mis-
Understands the bent and purpose of
those who are charged with the absolute
control of our national policies under the
administration of President Mckinley.
CommerciaIism, aggressive and naked, Is
the dominant characteristic of these
men. Commercialism is at once the in
spiration and the origin of Imperialism.
The dollar and its acquisition is the only
influence which controls individual and
party alike. Political principle and ira
dition are ignored in the accomplishment
OF the undertakings which are designed
to advance individual enrichment and are
held forth as fitting for adoption solely
because of the money gain which they
may bring to the nation as a whole.
Viewed from the standpoint of his
friends and admirers, the life of Theo-
dore Roosevelt represents the very anti
thesis of all this. He is looked upon
as having sought the good of the state
and its people throughout his entire pub
lie career. Born rich, his life has not
been struggle for added riches. He
has aimed at the higher things. Intel
lectual honesty, if not intellectual
strength, is a possession of his. He has
physical, as he has moral, courage. His
scholarship is hardly worthy of men
ton; but he has shown what an earnest
If even not thoroughly equipped or quail
fed, mind may do in the realm of litera-
ture
Why do men such as those whom the
country regards as controlling the policy
of the present administration show such
extreme anxiety to nominate Roosevelt
for vice president? Because they want
to suppress him by rendering him politi-
cally innocuous? Not entirely. They
are afraid that sense may dawn on their
political opponents at the last moment.

popular support which has been held out

PAY THE TEACHERS.

The G o b e has, on more occasions
than one, expressed it's opinion concerning
the miserable policy which withhoIds one
weeks salary out of an entire school pc
Rod It has, too, commented on the in
evitabIe injurious effect on the citys in
terests of such wretched parsimony, if,
indeed, 1t be wholly due to parslmony
Whether it be due to parsimony or re-
trenchment and reform such as the
schools have SO long been the victims of,
or whether it be true as the apologists
of the policy say, that the money was
not available for the payment of the en-
tire amount due to the teachers. matters
very little so far as the effect on the rights
of the teachers is concerned.
The money should be paid. and paid at
once 1t ought to have been paid when
it was due originally-the whole amount
as we'll as the fraction which remains un-
paid. The sooner the whole thing is wlp-
ed out and forgotten the better for the
city. If the money is now available, It
cannot be disbursed too quickly. The SEN
timent of the community approaches that
of disgust and dlsheartenment over the
series of financial missteps of which the
schools the pupils, the teachers and ev-
erybody connected with our educational
system have been the victims.
