COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
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 be
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-
flied is ascertained 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 to omisapprehension. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are it's fast supporters. The
object is rot to prevent utilization Of
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

TREASURER ROBERTS RECOUNTS
WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES

Washington, Sept. 26.-Ellis H. Rob
erts, treasurer Of the United States.
who is attending the joint convention
Of the Maryland and District of Co
lumbia Bankers Association, which IL
being held on board a steamboat ON the
Potomac river last night, delivered an
address before that convention, in
which he said:
National bank notes constitute less
than one-sixth of our stock Of money,
$418 8.687. .975 out of $2.70S, ,693, ,663, and no
legislation can change that ratio very
materially. Gold, ON the other hand,
furnishes $1,267. .7S3.949, or hard on to
one-half of our stock, and 1t grew near
ly 81. .000, 900 last month.
Let US be content to stand ON the
rock bottom OF gold. OF $2,3SS, ,902, ,17S
money in circulation, gold in coin and
certificates Is 81 ,104, $50 ,07S; bank notes
are just less than $4O0,00OOOO. And
again, look at the treasury holdings.
The gold there is to-day the largest
sum ever recorded, $653, ,000, 900. Our
treasury holds three and nine-tenths
times the amount of gold belonging to
the Bank Of England. which is 1885,
S56, 200; 1t Is more than three and
eight-tenths times that of the imperial
German bank, which is $170, ,310, 900, or
very nearly three times that Of the Aus
tro-Hungarian bank, which is $221,-
404 900; 1t lacks only $S.000000 of being
equal to that of both the Banks OF
England and Of France, which latter
holds $494506,000, and 1t exceeds the
amount of Russia, Germany, Belgium
and The Netherlands combined.

Sioux City, July 3.-Congressman
Eben w. Martin, of Deadwood, S. D.,
who passed thru Sioux City yesterday
on his way to Canton, S. D., thinks
the chances are much better than ever
before for the approval by congress
this winter of the treaty providing for
the opening of 10000 acres of the
Rosebud Indian reservation.
II think the bill would have been
passed last winter had it not been for
the fllibustering we got into during
the last ten days of the session." said
Mr.. Martin. THAT, however, was the
first time we got the matter into such
shape we could say with any conf
dence the bill would go thru. We have
cleaned up many of the accumulated
demands of South Dakota from con-
gress and we can devote more time to
obtaining the ratification of the treaty
this winter Then the South Dakota
delegation is in u position to take a
lively interest in national affairs.
II think the platform adopted by the
Iowa republicans yesterday will meet
with the approval of the South Da-
kota delegation. In fact. it is likely the
South Dakota representatives In con-
gress prefer the form of this years
platform 10 - U:,.aal -oN'a idea, as
1t was called. Our delegation is in
clined to be conservative. II appears
to me that this question is more i'm
portant as theory than as fact 1t is
our opinion. as l understand 1t, that
there are not a great many trusts that
are sheltered by tariff. l do not think
there Is any difference of opinion among
republicans as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
modifying any protective duty that
tends to create monopoly. There is not
much that is new In the platforms of
the last two years, except the un-
usual manner in which they have been
stated"
