One of the most unique duties that
ever devolved upon state oficials is
that which has sent State Game Com

to Trappers lake in the western part OF
the state. Report has been received
that the lake is crowded with trout
which ascended White river. and being
unable to find their way back into the
stream, they are dying from lack OF
food. II Is the intention of these ON
cials to supply the fish with FOOD or
else remove them to the river. where

much of the stock-raising country OF
Colorado was visited. Special Agent
Kerr of the Humane Society hnds that
the losses to stock on the range during
the past winter run from three to thir-
ty per cent. OF the total OF the diner
ent herds. He Investigated the cases
of several owners who had sustained
large losses, and found that in some in
stances 1t was due to carelessness in
peglecting to provide food for the win
ter. These owners will be warned be-
fore next winter that losses from the
same cause again will not be tolerated
and that IL there appears to be dan
ger of their repetition the society will
be forced to take action. Mr.. Kerr
found the grass in some districts very
poor and the cattle in bad condition.
This was notably true in the country
between Florence and Colorado
Springs. The range to the southeast is
in much better condition.
