{. {. Parks Appointed Receiver

Last Saturday night c. c. Parks
was appointed receiver of the Boston
Colorado Coal company and the South
Canon Supply company, an auxiliary
corporation, by Judge John T. Shu-
mate. The application for receiver
was made through Attorney C W.
Darrow who found Judge Shumate
in Routt county and secured the order.
Mr.. Parks qualified the same night.
The failure of the South Canon Supply
company is due to the failure of the
coal company but Mr.. Parks states
that it is solvent corporation and
its affairs will be all Strengthened out
within few weeks.
The property is to be operated right
along with something like 100 men,
the number employed for some time
and a production of around 300 tons
of coal per day will be continued.
The condition of the company =
affairs has not yet been learned by
Mr.. Parks inasmuch as the treasurer
is in Boston and a statement has not
been forthcoming. 1t is known that
good portion of the bond issue has
been used as collateral for loans and
until the exact amount of the indebt-
edness is learned no statement can
be made by the receiver. He expects
however to have the affairs of the
company in good shape within com
paratively short time as the mine is
said to be one of the best in the state
Two veins have been opened up, one
feet thick and the other 90 feet in
thickness. The latter has not as yet
heen touched extensively as it has
only recently been opened up. The
coal in this vein is almost entirely
free from slate or other foreign mat
ter.
Mr.. Parks, it will be remembered,
was receiver for the Pocahontas com
pany few years ago, taking it in an
almost hopeless condition and placing
it on its feet in less than year This
successful receivership was one reason
why Judge Shumate was asked to ap-
point Mr.. Parks.

Held For Abduction

Fred f. Havens better known in
Fred Ford, and Mrs. Dora Parker. a
woman with whom he was living,
left Glenwood Wednesday evening on
Rio Grande No. IS, taking with them
Viola, the fourteen year cid daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs, Heman C. Starkey of
Cardiff. When Mr. Starkey who is a
Colorado Midland brakeman on the
high line branch reached home and
found his daughter missing he at once
came to Glenwood and made com
plaint against Havens and the woman,
charging them with abduction.
Sheriff Adams at once made use of
the telephone and finding that the par
ty had stopped at Wolcott he and dep
uty j. L. Herwick left on the first
train and Thursday morning returned
with their prisoners
Havens and the woman say the girl
asked to accompany them while Viola
says they encouraged her to 60 A
hearing was had Friday forenoon be-
fore Justice Hedden who found the
testimony decidedly damaging to Ha-
vens and his paramour and bound
them over to the next session of the
district court under bonds of $1,000,
each in default of which they will
partake of the Adams cuisine until
November.

Washington, Sept. 21.-A policy
which will result in the restoration of
thousands of acres of land to the pub
lie domain has just been adopted by
the secretary of the interior.
Announcement was made today at
the department that lands heretofore
withdrawn for any purpose whatsoev-
er, will be restored and after adver
tisement for ninety days, shall be
subject to entry under the land laws of
the United States.
This applies to lands withdrawn for
forestry and irrigation purposes.
The object of the secretary in re
quiring ninety days advertising is to
prevent land from falling into the
hands of spectators
Under the forest reserve policy,
drawn which recent examination has
disclosed to be agricultural land and
also which could be used for grazing
fuller Investigation showing that it
should be restored.
This is particularly true of Colora-
do aud Utah.
In the cases of timber tracts in the
midst of land occupied by settlers. it
will be restored, on account of being
isolated.
Tracts reserved for irrigation pur-
poses will be restored where projects
have been abandoned for any reason.

The War In Tic EAT.

The war in the far East has be-
gun and until one or the other of
two very stubborn antagonists
yields to reason the work of des-
truction will proceed with great
vigor and success and it may be
predicted that within year the
world will be at least n billion dol
lars poorer. What powers other
that those ut present involved will
participate in the operations it is
impossible to even conjecture. 1t
may confidently be said that Japan
relies on Great Britain to help her
out and it is about equally certain
that in the event of such interposi-
ton France and Germany will
take hand on the other side. The
outlook, therefore, ia for conflict
OF vast proportions and immense
destructiveness.
Singularly enough this fearful
conflict has been begun without
even the shadow of reason. That
is to say Russia has entered upon
an enterprise which is certain 10
entail vast losses in support of
claim which is not only unjust but
absurd. In other words having
stolen from the Chinese Empire
the province of Manchl ria the
government of the Gar now pro-
poses to seize the Kingdom Of
Korea for the reason that in pos
session of an enemy it would be a
dangerous strategic point. On the
other hand Japan proposes to oc-
cupy or at least control Korea for
the same reason and thus the per-
sons and property of II people are
made a subject OF traffic or quarrel
between two Empires, neither of
which has Il shadow of claim.
All this is outrageous OF course
but it is in line with the tendencies
of the times. When men were
more conscientious and rulers more
just the small nation was as secure
in its rights and property. as the
more powerful. For example. u
dozen years ago this country, built
upon the rock of conscience and
maintained within the lines OF ius-
tice, would no more have thought
of menaclng the weakest Republic
in the South America group than
it would OF sending fleet of air
ships to invade the moon. But
now our war Lord, booted and
spurred, conspires with adventur-
ers to loot Il Republic which we
are under treaty obligations to pro-
tect and refuses to obey the COM
mand of Congress for the evidence
of his terpltude.
