though it has been moving more
freely. Top beef steers this week

Resolutions.

The following resolutions were in
troduced at the republican county
convention last Friday by Editol
Bradford, of the Alamosa Indepen
dent Journal, and upon motion of NJ
B. Colt were adopted.
Whereas, He. who holds the desti
nies of man at His command, has
thought it best to call from among US
one of our most highly esteemed citi
zens; one of the firmest friends oi
Conejos county; one, W. Il. Hirst, an
active supporter of republican princi,
pies in both state and nation, there.
fore,
Be it Resolved, That we, the mem
bers of this republican convention, as
sem bled at Conejos this 7th day OF
October, A. D. 1904, feel with sad.
ness, in the unexpected passing away
of one of our most prominent citizens,
the loss OF friend to all that Is
honorable, manly and business like.
Further, That we believe no man
has done more to develop the re.
sources of this county and the San
Luis valley than has the deceased, =,
W. IL. Hirst.
And, finally, That we, the mem
bers of this convention, while feeling
keenly the loss to us all, know that a
greater loss has come to those near
and dear to him; and desire to extend
to the bereaved family our deepest
sympathy in this their time of un-
speakable sorrow.

An Important Movement.

A movement of more than usual i'm
portancs to the citizens of the state
has been undertaken by the State
Forestry Association in the direction
OF securing through appropriate legis-
lation Department of Forestry.
To this end request was presented
by the Association to both of the
leading political parties at their state
conventions last month asking a
plank in their platforms favoring such
legislation. AS result, the repub-
licans adopted the following:
"We earnestly recommend neces-
sary legislation to provide for de-
partment of forestry, whose province
shall be to prevent prohigate waste of
timber, and by so doing, conserve the
water supply of the state"
And the democrats this:
"We earnestly recommend such
legislation under the state constitu-
ton as shall provide for department
of forestry and the enactment of such
laws as may be necessary to enable it
to make our forests more permanent
and useful"
Thus the way is open for measure
providing for the permanent care and
Improvement of our forest and the
enforcement Of the forestry laws.
Such departmer run op rational
lines would be of inestimable value to
the state and should meet with the
approval and support of all good citi-

American consumer-artisan, farmer,

that the American producer, to the
limit of his ability, shall supply the
needs of the American consumer. The
Democratic party seems to think. 1t of
no consequence who produces that
which we consume, provided it is
cheap. The Republican party insists
that 1t is measurably unimportant
what price we pay SO long as we pay
the price to ourselves.
Higher wages mean more and bet
ter food for the wage-earner, more and
better clothes for his family, a better
roof for the home, and therefore q
better market for the farmer. Higher
prices for cattle and corn mean more
lumber .or farm buildings, more barb
ed wire for fences, more and better
clothes for happier family, more and
better furniture for the home, better
carpets, better carriages, and more and
better implements of agriculture, and
therefore better market for the wage

Undesirable lmmi grafton.

The ocean rate war, bringing steer
age passage tickets down to SS.45,
has shown its results already in lar

centage was one-half. The rate en-
ableS class of paupers and criminals
to make the voyage who could never
get the regular fare together, and
there is suspicion that public offic-
ialS in Europe are taking advantage
of the situation to get rid of worthless
members of society. The situation
would be alarming were it not that
the reduced rates can not continue
long, since the passengers are being
brought over at loss to the steam
ship companies. The experience
shows, however, that constant vigil
lance and firm enforcement of immi-
grafton laws are necessary on the part
of American authorities to prevent
imposition and fraud. These laws
are adequate under ordinary con-
ditionS, but it would do no harm to
make them still more restrictive in
order that they may be equal to en-
