sures Castro's Continuance in Power.
Caracas, Monday, Dec. 29.-Barquis-
tmeto, capital OF the state of Lara,
which for some time past has been in
the possession of the Venezuelan revo-
lutionists, has been recaptured by gov
eminent forces. The towns of San
Carlos and Tinaquillo have also been
feoccupied by the government.
The revolutionists at Barquisimeto
were under the command of Generals
SOlagnie and Penaloza. They evacu-
ated the town after losing 112 men
killed and 325 wounded.
There was hard fighting In tie
streets and suburbs of Barquisimeto
tor two days. The government forces
were commanded by General Cerferino
Castillo.
It now transpires that President
Castro's recent visit to La Victoria
was not of social nature, as reported
here, but for the purpose of conducting
personally by telegraph the operations
OF his forces at Barquisimeto. This
victory for the government appears to
be direct result of the presidents
initiative. 1t has been a most severe
blow for the revolutionists.

Cattle Seized by Inspectors.

Relative to the arrest of l.. A. HUFF
and others in Huerfano county for the
alleged stealing Of cattle. says the
Denver Republican of September 25th.
Secretary Edwin McCriliis of the State
Stock Inspection Board said yesterday
that the board had stopped a carload
OF cattle on Monday which had been
shipped into Denver from that coun-
ty.
We did not just like the appear
ance of the man with the cattle" said
Mir. McCriilis, mot that we thought he
was cattle thief, but he could not
give any satisfactory account as to
how he came into possession of the
animals, and for that reason we de-
cided it best to hold the cattle. They
were sold to a Denver firm and the
money resulting from the sale has been
deposited with the state board. When
the proper owners for the cattle are
found we shall turn the money over to
them. / know nothing about the mat
ter further than l have Just stated.
This case shows clearly the use OF the
board to the cattlemen of this state.
some of whom believe the laws have
been trifie too stringent in some re-
spects. | venture TO say that the men
who own these cattle will come to the
conclusion that the board and the laws
are good things"
Last winter we stopped carload of
horses here in thesame way" he add
ed. "and H. r. Fuller. who had the an
imals in his possession when the board
got hold of them. is now on trial in
Glenwood Springs charged with rus
Ting cattle. | do not know how this
case will come out. but at any rate 1t
will show the use of the strict inspec-
tion laws and the state board"
Mr.. McCrillis stated further that the
members of the board were making
every effort to secure evidence con-
corning a number of cases of cattle
rustling over the state. The state
board is determined to protect
the cattle owners of the state against
cattle thieves The board has its in
spectors everywhere in the state. and
unless man can show bills OF sale
for the cattle which he has in his pos
session or other good evidence of his
right and title. the stock will be taken
from him until he can prove proper
ownership Most of the cattle buyers
who ship mixed brands OF cattle and
often do not have bills Of sale, are
known to the stock inspectors.

Colorado Forest Reserves.

E. T. Allen OF Washington. D. c.. dis
trict chief of the Federal Bureau OF
Forestry's Investigations of proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado. Idaho
and Montana. has returned to Denver
to inspect the seasons work Of his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state. His reports will be pre-
pared during the next Two or three
months. and the governments final ac-
ton upon the areas involved may pc
expected by the first OF the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
nearly all the mountain areas OF Colo
RADIO which are important to the pro-
lection of irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges In
southwestern Colorado; the San Juan,
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges. which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande: the Wet mountains
in Custer county: the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnison; the
Uncompahgre plateau; the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges in northern Colo
rado. and several proposed small ad-
ditions to the present South Platte and
Pixies Peak group OF reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that. while a large
area has been investigated. the resi-
dents of Colorado have no cause to fear
wholesale reservation of lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov'
ernment exercises much more care in
this respect than In the past. and the
Investigations cover every aspect of the
problem. The Importance of the irri-
CATION and other interests to be bene-
fitted is aseertained and compared with
tnat of those which may be opposed,
the relation Of the forest TO the water
supply is studied and the timber is
carefully mapped so that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming. grazing and mining are con-
sidered so that none shall be done an
injustice. The policy IS to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition TO re-
serves. Mr. Allen asserts. nearly al
ways is due tomisapprehension. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are its fast supporters. the
object Is rot to prevent utilization or
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use.
A fire patrol Is maintained and fund
kept available to pay settlers who as
sist In emergencies. Mining laws ap-
ply In reserves exactly as elsewhere.
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs. Lumber
companies. large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country. but are
required to take precautions against
fire and are restricted TO the economi-
cal Use of mature timber not needed
by local residents or miners.
Grazing is restricted only so far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock. In allotting the
range the actual resident of the re-
serve is given first preference. the man
living nearby is second In considera-
ton and the outsider comes last. Only
residents of another state are positive
iy excluded.

School Fund Decision.

Mrs. Helen Grenfeli state superin-
tendent of public instruction. has an
swered the letter of c. f. Hagar, sec
retary OF the state board of charities
and correction. relative to the claim
which Mr.. Hagar has made on the
general funds of the state for the BEN
eft of the children confined in the va
rious state institutions. Mrs. Grenfell
stated Ia her letter to Mr.. Hagar that
IT was her opinion that those confined
in state institutions were not entitled
to any part OF the general school fund.
She claimed that the children in these
homes are not properly school children
and for this reason the institutions
should have no aid from the general
school fund
Mrs. Grenfell gave out the following
statement of the case:
The state board of charities and
correction. through its secretary. c. E.
Hagar. has requested from the super
intendent OF public instruction. Mrs.
II. l.. Grenfell. an opinion in relation
TO the question as to whether children
of school age in custody of the state
of Colorado in its several institutions
are entitled TO share OF the school
fund of the state. II so. what steps
should be taken to obtain the same.
The information given is TO the effect
that in accordance With former deci-
sions. when no especial provision for
/ teaching has been specified or proyid-
ed for in the funds supplied for the
maintenance of the institution. and
when such children have no parents or
guardian living elsewhere in the state
the school district in which such
state institution is located is entitled
to place the names of such children
upon the census list OF the district and
to draw corresponding per capita
from the general school fund. the in
stitution itself having no legal right
to any portion of this fund, which Is
entirely controlled by the district
school board. In case any portion
OF the school fund of the dis
trict being used to employ teach
er to instruct such children. the
employment would be made by the
district board. and 1t would be neces-
sary for the teacher to possess a teach
er's certificate obtained from the prop
er state or county authorities.
IAN opinion given by Attorney Cen
eral Miller Is in accordance with the
decisions given by the superintendent
of public instruction. but in adj
ditiol states that houses of cor
rection and other places of confinement
for incorrigible children do not belong
to the common school system of the
state. being institutions of involuntary
confinement. whose inmates should be
enumerated where their parents reside.
and also that orphans confined in such
institutions do not gain a residence in
the district where the institute IS
located"
