STOCK GROWERS
j. eunNrsoN COUNTY ASSOCIATION
Object to Forest ReserVe.-Want to
Strengthen Agricultural College
and Would Have international
Commerce Commission Establish
Erciuht Rates.

Denver. June 5.-A Gunnison dis
patch last night says: The Gunnison
County Stock Growers Association is
second in point of numbers in the
state and first in accomplishments and
enthusiasm. Its 200 members were
nearly all present to-day at the annual
meeting, together with many visitors
and citizens of the town.
The meeting was addressed by Con-
gressman Hogg. DR.. Barton o. Ayles-
worth and Professor w. T. Carlyle of
the State Agricultural College. DR..
John v. Laddie government stock in
spector. Eugene Grubb of Carbondale
and local speakers.
Mr.. Hogg devoted his speech to a
discussion of the proposed repeal OF
the land laws and the establishment OF
forest reserves and was listened to
with great interest, as Gunnison coun-
ty has lately had set aside thousand
miles OF its area in what the people
unanimously believe is useless re
serve. Mr.. Hogg regarded OF doubtful
value the plan to repeal the desert land
act and the commutation clause OF the
homestead act in the alleged interest
of home makers.
Resolutions were passed by the as
sociation as follows:
whereas, The Gunnison County
Stock Growers Association was the
.Srst in the state to recognize the i'm
brtance to the great agricultural and
stock growing interests of the West OF
the State Agricultural College at Fort
Collins, and
whereas, The climatic and varied
conditions and soil in Colorado make
a scientific investigation OF the entire
subject an absolute necessity in order
to obtain the full producing capacity
of the soil; therefore be 1t
Resolved. That this association ask
our incoming senator and representa-
tive in the Legislature to use their Ut
most endeavors to place the State AZ
ricultural College upon a higher plane
of usefulness to the farmers ana stock
growers. We believe the institution
should receive such liberal support
from the public funds as to equip II
for the scientific study Of this import
ant subject and to carry on the experi-
ments on q broader and more tnor
pugh basis than is possible Win its
present financial resources.
.Resolved, That as there is pending
in the national Congress Dill 10
clothe the Interstate Commerce com,
mission with authority to make anu
establish freight rates on raliroaus
in cases where they are proved 10 De
excessive, this association in the name
of Justice and equality calls upon the
senators and representatives from COL
orado to defend this measure TO tne
best of their ability and at every OPP
portunity." .,,
The former officers Of the assocla-
ton, consisting of w. A Giilaspey'
president; Herman Rausis, vice pres,
dent; L. H. Easterly, secretary, anu
Henry + Lake. treasurer, were unan-
imously reelected.

GREATEST BATTLE IN HISTORY

The battle now in progress around
Laio Yang is conceded to be the great
est in the worlds history. OF all the
sangiinary conflicts of history, includ-
ing the bloody engagements of the civil
war, none equalled in number of men
engaged, or in deadly equipment, this
battle raging in the far east. II is esti-
mated that half million men are
engaged, and while this may be to some
extent IN exaggeration, il is certain
that never before did two such gigantic
armies meet. II the struggle is not in
proportion TO the number engaged. it
will be because of the carefully pre-
pared defenses. The enormous cost Of
such a battle can only be conjectured.
Thousands of pounds of powder and
lead and steel are being consumed, and
doubtless, much Of il wasted. The re-
suit of the battle is being awaited by
the entire world, and whatever il is,
the terrific loss of life and destruction
of property will not have been in vain
il il arouses in man an antipathy to
war, that relic of barbarism which it
seems the highest civilization cannot
shake off,

The mayor should see that the city
is not imposed on. The people are look
ing to him to protect the interests of
the public, and do not expect him TO
give away or allow anything given
away, that belongs to the people. The
city compromised with the telephone
company for 5000, and this $1,000 be-
longs to the city-the people. Before
the mayor and general council give any
one 81 $50 of il for collecting" il, they
had better examine the contract on the
subject, and see just what il is that
the city agreed to pay fifty per cent.
for colleetjng The proposition made
by the law firm and accepted by the
city is clear, and is on file in the city
clerks Office. If the city agreed to
pay fifty per cent. for collecting pole
rents" and this $1,000. which is com
promise made by the city and not a
collection" making it virtually the gen
eral council that put it through, is not
for pole rent" il is plain that no one
is entitled TO 81 $50 of it. No one was
authorized by the city to settle or col
lect for licenses, franchise taxes and
other things, and if such has been done,
it has been done voluntarily, and with
out stipulation of any fee or compen-
sation.

pcals for the democratic ticket and of
the feeble enthusiasm which results
One correspondent at Nevada, Mo, after
Mr.. Bryan spoke there Tuesday. said'
The general impression of the ad-
dress was of speaker pleading with
the people to do something he knew
they didn't want to do, and which he
did not care particularly whether they
did or not, the speech clearly being a
labored one and delivered more as a
matter of duty than a desire"
This is no more than might be expect
ed. Why should Mr.. Bryan want a

he opposed for eight years elected, when
he, as candidate for the same party, was
twice defeated
