IMMENSE REWARD FOR THE
SLAYER OF ARTHUR L. COLLINS

nor Orman requesting that like sum
be offered by the state. The present
situation was discussed at length.
1t is argued that $4,000 will insure
the best efforts of officers and detec-
tives to discover the murderer and
that the money will be well spent in
case of success. The popular opinion
is that Manager Collins was murdered
by hired assassin and that in appre-
hending him the instigators of the
crime will be found.
A movement is on foot for the rails
ing of $4,000 by popular subscription,
to be added to the general reward. The
Smuggler-Union company, 1t is expect
ed, will offer $1,000.
The aggregate reward of $4,000 for
the body of Wesley E. Smith, who
''mysteriously disappeared" still
stands.
Many rumors are afloat regarding
the closing of all the mines. Jacob Fill
Illus, general counsel for the Smuggler
company, said that the mine was shut
down out of respect to the dead man
ager, notices having been posted this
morning to that effect. AS to the
length of cessation of work, Mr.. Fill
Illus says that no one knows its prob
able duration, and it will not be known
until a meeting of the directors of the
company is held to determine upon the
policy in the matter.
No clew to the assassin has yet
been discovered Some few individ-
uals have made remarks and are being
closely watched to see of any clew may
be found.
The threatening letters received by
Manager Collins were similar to those
received by other managers and su-
perintendents of this district. What
effect the assassination Of Mr.. Collins
will have upon their actions remain to
be seen.
The body of Mr.. Collins will be in
TERED at Fairmount cemetery Sunday,

Grating at Pandora, died at 1:30 a. m.
yesterday, from wounds received at
the hands of an unknown assassin
while playing cards in the Office build
ing of the company late Wednesday
night. Death was expected from the
start and the marvel is that the strick-
en- man lived as long as he did.
At the bedside of Mr.. Collins when
he died were his wife, his brothers,
George and Edgar A. Collins, Drs.
Ochsner, Freeman, Jaynes, Nurse Lena
Strauss and Benjamin Lawrence and
Jacob Fillius, president and attorney
respectively for the company. The
last, moments were particularly sad.
Mrs. Collins was Frustrated, but she
had in measure been prepared for
the worst
Mrs. Collins left Telluride on the
regular train at 8:15 this morning, ac-
companied by Mrs. A. B. Blainey,
Mrs. Collins brother, Charles Becker;
Edgar Collins, her husbands brother,
and DR.. Freeman of Denver. The body

Denver, Nov pa great deal of
attention is being given to the pres
ervation of forests by the delegates
attending the horticultural conven-
ton now in session here.
Charges were made at the meeting
that the forests on the eastern slope
were being rapidly destroyed, and
that the state land board was selling
the public land without consulting the
interests of the state. The saw mills,
1t was said, were making great In
roads upon the forests. The horticul-
tural interests were vitality affected,
said the delegates. by the destruction
Of the forests. Unless steps were
taken to preserve them. and to create
larger reserves, the drouths would be-
come so frequent that the irrigation
interests of the state would be IRE
parably injured.
The plan to preserve the forests is
to call mass meetings of the farmers
throughout the state and to interest
them in the question. The first thing
that will be done will be to draw up
resolutions asking the state Legisla-
ture to interest itself in the matter.
A committee on resolutions was
adopted, consisting of A. M. Patton,
chairman. w. G. M. Stone and Thomas
Johnson. A resolution also will be
drafted to be sent to Congress. This
will be done tonight. when two. hours
will be devoted to working out the
details of the plan.
The third step in the plan is to Sc
cure the cooperation Of the state land
board. For this purpose the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the incoming land
board Of the state of Colorado be re-
quested by this annual convention OF
horticulturists not to grant further
concessions to mill men who purpose
the destruction of forests"

HORTICUL ULTURISTS PLANNING
TO SAVE THE FORESTS

Several members severely criticised
the land board for selling land to saw
mill men and paper mills at a nominal
price.
A special committee, consisting of
A. NJ. Patton. w. G. NJ. Stone and
t. Fl. johnson, was appointed for the
purpose of presenting the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted at the evening meeting:
''In view of the constant and enor-
nous destruction of the forests of
Colorado. and the great damage
threatening those areas embracing the
sources of the mountain streams of
the eastern slope. therefore be it
Resolved by the state board of hor-
ticulture of Colorado, In convention
assembled. That we request the sec
retary of the interior to create and
set apart as forest reserve the fol-
lowing area, to-wit: Following the
west line of Gilpin and Boulder coun-
ties to the northwest corner of Boul-
der county: thence on a generally
northerly line, following the crest Of

range, varying the width of the area
embrace the headwaters of Bear
creek. Clear creek, South and North
Boulder creeks, st. Vrain, Little and
Big Thompson creeks. south fork of
Cache La Poudre and Big Larimer
creeks; thence extending along the
eastern slope Of the continental divide
so as to include the headwaters OF the
North Platte river; further,
Resolved, that we petition the Sow
enteenth General Assembly Of this
state to incorporate the facts above set
forth in joint memorial. signed by
the governor; that copy Of the same
be sent to the President OF the United
States, each member Of Congress
from this state, and the secretary Of

The increase of the tobacco habit
among boys has led some of the best
educators of the country to make an in
v~estigation of the effects of it's use on the
students. DR.. Fiske, of the Northwestern
University, who has given much attention
to the subject, says that a careful obser-
walton has convinced him that tobacco is
largely responsible for low rank in schol-
arship. Last year." he says, mot one
of the boys who used tobacco stood in
the first rank of scholarship. This has
been the usual rule. One year, out of the
thirty-three pupils in the first rank of
scholarship, there was one user of tobac-
co. The largest percentage of tobacco
users is found in the fifth rank of chol-
arship."
