gently elected member of the repub-
he was called upon by one of the other

ANOTHER CHANCE.

The Delta County Cattle Grow
ers association have postponed the
publishing of their brand book M
til March 1st. This was done il
order to give the smaller cattleman
a chance to enter his name on tn ,
roll Of the association and to al
low his name to appear in the
brand book. The total cost for
this is only $1,O0 membership
and one and one-half cents for
each head of stock owned by him
The membership fee includes one
years dues. No man owning cattle
and a brand can afford to be out of
this book. The smaller owners
brand is always the one that is not
known. This book will be in the
hands of all riders and owners and
by reference to same it can be
ascertained what the name of the
owner is and where he lives. If
you are thinking of joining send
in your name and brand with the
necessary remittance and your
name will be placed in copy for
the printer. Address the secretary.

try.
In 1871, the French army, al
though it was perfectly organized
and equipped according to the
official reports, was found to be
under the tests of actual warfare
without proper clothing, food OF
equipment for war and the blame
for this condition was properly
placed upon the contractors and
imperial officials who had robbed
the empire in order to fill their
own pockets.
1t is not at all unlikely that
something of this kind has been
going on in Russia. The govern
ment of that country is notoriously
corrupt i'll its minor departments.
Without a public press, without
free speech and without an intelli-
gent and untrammeled public
opinion the Russian government
is without the safeguards that have
been found necessary to protect
the expenditures of large amounts
of public money.
The world will watch with in
terest to see whether the same
conditions of inefficiency and un-
readiness are made apparent in
other departments that have been
strikingly displayed in the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur Pueblo

FOREST PRESERVATION.

The adage that "the Lord helps
those who help themselves" is pc
culiarly applicable at this time. We
refer to the movement on foot to
extend the forest reserves in the
interest of a better water supply.
1t is exceedingly important that
the forests at the sources of all
streams contributing wator for ir-
rigation should be preserved and
protected as cover for snow aud
moisture. For folty-fve years We
have done little with our forests
but to destroy, and if, with all our
cities, increasing population and
boasted prospects for the future,
we expect to grow and prosper, we
must call a halt,change our tactics
and give some attention to the ov-
er shadowing question of forest re-
form for the betterment of our wa
ter conditions. Unless we do, the
time is coming when we shall be
up against problems of aridity no
human effort can overcome.
Forests are to use and not to de-
stroy. This was the declaration OF
Mr.. Pinchot openly expressed at
the Chamber of Commerce lunch
con in this city last month. The
president advocates the reserves for
the benefit of irrigation. Congress
stands ready to make liberal ap-
preparations for reclamation work
in the arid regions and the reserves
will receive generous portion for
their establishment and mainte-
nance. If within our state the
government were to expand sucl
reserves for the betterment of wa
ter conditions, it would be of ines
timable benefit to every industria
interest with our borders; and i
the people of Colorado desire to..b,
participants they must be awake
and alert. The government vii
force advantages on no one.
Heretofore there has been no op
position to the reserves, principal
ly from stockmen and lumbermen
This is fast dying down as the pol
icy and management of the govern
ment come to be better understood
and are found to be on rationa
lines and for the benefit of all.
1t is opportune that just at thi'
time the Forestry association has
taken up this matter of forestry re
serve extension, for the govern
ment is now in mood to consider
and take up the work, and the as
sociation should have the heart,
support or the people. Chambers

From all accounts that have
