Land Controversy Settled.

After controversy and bitter feeling
lasting over a period of years, what
Is doubtless to be final settlement
of the North and Middle parks range
disputes was reached on the 18th Inst.
when Register Mark Woodruff OF the
State Land Board had heard the griey-
ances OF the opposing factions.
An amicable agreement was made.
by which the small cattle owners and
ranchers were given their choice OF
the range leases. The big companies
accepted what remained. Register
Woodruff gave the contending parties
assurance that In all probability the
agreement will be approved by the
State Land Board.
The land In question comprises
many thousands OF acres OF state
holdings In Grand and Larimer coun-
ties. For several years there has
been much rivalry In connection with
the occupation OF the range. from
which many neishborhood troubles
have resulted. The North Park Cat.
tie Company. which is said virtually
to have been an auxiliary OF the Ar
mour Packing Company. was the prin.
cipal OF the big companies. Later II
was succeeded by the Llnger Cattle
Company. which was represented at
yesterdays meeting. by David How.
The big corporations entered the
country and established themselves.
crowding out the small ranchers OF
the locality. These large companies
are backed by large packing concerns.
IL was claimed. and IL was their inten'
ton to secure leases on great tracts.
To this the small owners stoutly OBJ
jected. The fight was waged dercely
for about i've years. and the amicablc
adjustment was gladly received by
both factions.
About twenty persons. representing
n large number OF the owners con-
ccrned. appeared before Register
Woodruff. Among them were Presi'
dent Jones OF the Jones Cattle Com
pany: David How. representing W. IL.
Marr OF the Lingcr Cattle Company:
Monte Blcyins. Andrew Morreli. At
torncy J. n. Ellis and ID. +. Sudduth.
In speaking OF the outcome OF the
controversy. Mr.. Sudduth. who repre-
scnted n party OF the small owners.
said: I'VE are glad to have the at.
fair settled. IL has been n long and
tedious fight and We would much ra-
thcr conccdc few points than TO be
In constant trouble over the range.
There seems to be general satisfac-
tlon concerning the settlement among
all concerned"

Washington. May 23.-CongrcNs will
be asked at the opening OF next sea-
sion TO make an appropriation TO cover

announced that this deficiency now
aggregates exactly s22T 800. OF which
sIvs. 800 IL In the free delivery branch.
The postmaster general said he very
much regretted the existence OF tho
deficit. and for the lrat time publicly
criticised the administration OF a. w.
Maehcn. general superintendent for tho
free delivery syHtcm. who Is now on
indefinite leave OF absence.
This II not the first time that a
deficiency has occurred In the free de-
livery service" said MIR. Payne. but I
regret It's existence. Al the opening
OF the last Congress Mr. Maehcn point
cd out that without additional appro-
priations no more routes could be es-
tablished beyond those ready to be in-
stalled January LIST. He said. how
ever. II Congress appropriated sSoo.oop
for the purpose the work could be con-
tinued during the rest OF the fiscal
year. This appropriation was prompt
~ made. but II was exhausted. Despite
this fac, the Office t;hc free delivery
oiiiccp was goins on increasing the de-
iicicncy. and " VIC had no; taken steps
to curinil tho expenditures and Hus-
pend the establishment Of routes
until the beginning OF the mex,
fiscal year. the deficit would have
been much larger. l, was not good ad-
ministration."
The postmaster general said that
part of the deficiency was discovered
before Mr.. Mnchcn was given his leave.
Mr.. Payne said A. W. Mnchcn. tho
general superintendent. would be given
an opportunity TO be heard on the sub
ject.

COMMISSIONER WOODARD ON
FISH CULTURE in COLORADO

expected to yield at least 100000 eggs.
The eggs of these rainbow trout SO lar
taken have been placed in the troughs
OF the Gunnison and Denver hatcher-
les, $50, 900 In the Gunnison hatchery.
and 800 900 In the Denver hatchery.
The remainder of the eggs when taken
will be sent to the other state hatch
cries. and when Matched the young
trout will be distributed in the public
waters OF the state in all the large
streams that are suitable for these
magnificent river trout.
in taking the fish a record was kept
of the size and weight of an average
lot. and the estimate OF total weight
was three ponnds each. Some OF the
largest trout weighed ten. twelve and
thirteen pounds. the total weight be-
ing four and one-half tons.
''The record OF eggs taken was kept
by actual graduate measurement. 400
to the fluid ounce. and proven by main
ematical measurement OF thirty-four
eggs to the square inch. a careful rec
| ord of all dead eggs being kept during
stripping and In transit to the hatch
cries, which was less than two per
cent. loss. The conditions OF water At
these hatcheries for Matching the trout
eggs have been SO improved that not
more than one and one-hnlf per cent
loss will occur until fish are hatched.
This represents remarkable rec
ord OF fish food product. at market

Denver. May 22.-In an interview
Fish Commissioner j. NJ. Woodland
gives an interesting interview on the
work Of the fish hatcheries OF the
state.
Mr.. Woodland began by saying that
when he took control of the hatcheries
April LIST. his first step was to put in
Office a general superintendent OF the
hatcheries who was experienced In
this line. He appointed to this office
w. s. Kincaid. who has spent the
greater part OF his life In fish cultural
work at our state hatcheries. The next
move was to place Charles Dowdell in
charge as superintendent OF the state
hatchery at Denver: w. Il. Patrick as
superintendent OF the state hatchery
Mt Durango. and S. T.. Land. fish cul-
turist. In charge as superintendent of
the state hatchery at Gunnison. All
these men are experienced in the
practical and scientific work OF this
department.
During the last four weeks the
work done at these institutions has
been successful TO marked degree
said Mr.. Woodland. especially the work
done at the Gunnison hatchery in taxi
Ing the eggs OF the rainbow trout. On
April 2ith an egg-collecting or field
spawning station was established on
the North Beaver creek within 100
yards OF the mouth. where IL empties

breeding trout were captured. and l.

The hippopotamus is II large and in
teresting animal, but he is not nice.
When he comes up out OF the tank he
looks all sticky. like he was covered
with goo. The hippopotamus comes
from Africa and other foreign coun-
tries where they do not care what kind
of animals they raise. You can tame
a hippopotamus so he will eat out OF
your hand, but you cannot learn to
love him. Once there was a man who
had a lottery ticket that drawed a hip
popotamus. He went and looked at
the animal, and then, crazed with
grief he ran away with another mans
wife. Let us ever follow the path Of
rectitude, and JOY will be our portion.
The hippopotamus eats hay and vegc-
tables, but he prefers damp grass,
which he digs up from the bottoms of
rivers with his large, powerful mouth
and masticates with the most eyre
gious relish. If was buying an ami
NAL for my own use l would buy a
gentle gnZelle or n nice little tame kan.
