The weather is q topic much discussed

are getting behind With their work. Not
q furrow has been run since the new year
came In, and we hear many farmers com
planning that they did not get through
sowing wheat. Some did not get any sown
at all, as they were busy picking cotton
and preparing the land for sowing until
the bad weather came. Now the query
Is: Is IL too late to SOW when the SOIL gets
dry enough which will not be for TIN

We have heard g fsw say they have made
good crops OF wheat from grain s0wn IN

We have received the following from
the office of the Colorado State FORESTRY
Association of Denver. 1t is not as in
teresting now as it would be ten years
frcm now after the forests have been
denuded and mining timbers and every
thing else must be shipped in. We pub
lish the notice in full and if anyone here
desires to cooperate with the Denver
association we would be pleased to have
them do so Address the Colorado State
FORESTRY Association, Denver, Colo.
The Colorado State Forestry Association de-
sires to have you say to the people through your
valuable columns, that it is inaugurating CAM
paign of forest agitation for the purpose of inter
esting the citizens of Colorado in forestry aud for
est preservation
That this is necessary is in the fact that IS
years of fire and pilage have reduced our mountain

forests from $4,000 square miles to less than one
sixth of that area. The gravity of the situation
leads us to ask you to Join in effort to
citizens to sense of the danger that threatens to
denude our mountains. We shall print and dis
tribute forestry laws, and publish leaflets and
bulletins of information on forestry subjects for
distribution. We plan for public meetings over
the state besides other means to stimulate interest
to be announced later
These things will require money, but we do
not come begging This is not charity. 1t is vital
to all. No citizen can escape the obligation to
himself and the state in this matter.
Give us words of help in your editorials. We
want MEMBERS we must extend our influence to
the uttermost parts of the state Life membership
fees are low, only $40 90. Where this cannot be
offorded an annual membership at 81 90 doubtless
can. All money will be carefully and judiciously
spent and faithfully accounted for. Drafts and
money orders made payable to Jabez Norman sec
retary. Address, The Colorado State Forestry

Jackson Monument Bill Moving.

Senator Roberts and his friends
in the senate have done good work
with the bill to create jackson Park
and the bill has now passed second
reading in the senate and Will soon
he on it's way to the house. we
understand that Representative
Kniesel will do loyal work for 1T
over in the house and this means
that it will pass carrying the aP-
preparation of 81 900.
The legislature is doing a good
thing in its recognition of the plo-
neer gold section of the state and
the greatest resource of the state.
} The citizens of the entire state
have an interst in this measure. 1t
will honor the memory of one OF
the pioneer prospectors and the
man who first discovered gold in
the Rocky Mountains.
The bill will now be put upon
third reading and final passage IN
the senate and then go to the house
where it must be read three times
and passed. Then it goes to the
governor for his signature. 1t is
probable that Clear Creek county
has received less in the way OF
state appropriations than any other
county in the state and inasmuch
5 as this measure is one that effects
the whole state as well as Clear
Creek county we believe there Will
be little opposition shown and that
it will be passed and signed by the
governor. Senator Roberts has ac-
com plished good work in the SEN
ate in behalf of the measure.

NewhOuse To Resume April Ist.

The announcement that work will
be resumed in the Newhouse tun-
mel on April 1st will be good news
to the people of the district. We
are informed that Mr. Bradley has
been notified to get his men ready
to begin work on that date and this
has every appearance of business.
While this property has hardly
, been closed as a result of the strike,
yet it is unquestionably true that
this had something to do with it.
Whether the Sun and Moon will
work in the tunnel level or not is
not stated. So far as we can ascer-
tain no settlement of the trouble in
the upper workings of that prop
erty has been made.
At the present time it would be
difficult to tell that the district was
passing through the trouble incl
dent to labor strike. Everything
is quiet and peaceable and but few
of the properties are affected.
The opening of the Newhouse
means considerable to the product
for the shipments from the Gem
anu otneI properties come from
this source. Manager Renshaw of
the Big Consolidation has worked
tirelessly to bring about this con-
dition of affairs and to him with
other factors can be attributed the
success of the proposition.
This news will be regarded as
good news land was stated in Sift-
ings four weeks ago. by every one
in the district.

editor OF the Cripple Creek lines and
is known in that district as first class
mining man. He knows that district
foot for foot and speaks in the highest
terms of it as a mining district and has
a most generous faith in its future.
After visiting the Idaho Springs dis
trict and looking over the field care
fully, visiting the mines and mills and
making the trip one Of the most
thorough in the matter OF investiga<
ton he makes the prediction that the
coming five years will place it the
leader IN the greatest gold producing
state in the union.
This means a great deal for the
Idaho Springs district. 1t is the word
of the eyewitness who knows what he
is talking about that counts. Mr..
Atkins was accompanied by MIR. A.
F. Sloneker, also connected with Ores
and Metals, a gentleman familiar with
mining and one who agreed with
every statement made by Mr. Frank
Atkins.
