DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET.
THE RANGE LEASING
QUESTION AGAIN.

1t Is safe to say that the proceeds
ings of the late meeting In Denver
between range stockmen and what
Is known as the Roosevelt commits
sion, headed by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson and Messrs. Newell and
Pinchot, escaped the notice of the
stockmen of this section.
At this meeting, 1t was evil
dent that the big cattlemen and
the representatives of the beef trust
favored the enactment of leasing
law, which they, aided by eastern
sentiment, will undoubtedly try to
put through next congress.
The county commissioners of Gar
field county sent Senator Edward T.
Taylor of Glenwood to represent the
cattle,nen of that county at the Dem
yer meeting, and we are very much
mistaken If he didn't represent the
sentiments Of the stockgrowers Of
this county az well rs those of hts
own In the following protest against
leasing and private control Of the
public range:
1.-THE stockgrowers' Of the Western
Slope" he said, have built up that
country under the free range system.
They do not abuse the range, and 1t
is as good now as 1t ever was. They
feel that the present system has
worked all right, and cannot see why
there should be change. Under 3
system of private control the big cat
tlemen would buy up all the free
lands or lease them for grazing pur-
poses, and the small cattleman
would be forced to go out Of business.
The small man with so or 100 head of
stock would be frozen out. What
could he do9''
'These men have made the best Of
citizens. They have helped to build
up the resources of the slate and of
the western empire, and they should
have q voice in the matter of how the
public grazing lands shall be used.
The stockgrowers of the Western
Slope are unanimous on this point"
The White River association was
not represented at the late Denver
meeting. If its members still think
as they did when, some years ago,
they joined in vigorous protest
against the leasing system, they will
wake up and be prepared to do battle
for their interests when the fight will
be on in real earnest in Washington
next winter.

Looks Good.

Paul Blount, the Moffat Short Line
field engineer who has been looking
over the White River valley with a
view to making an accurate survey
later, returned from the Utah border
Monday, and left for Denver Wednes-
day where he will report the results
of his observations to the chief en-
gineer's Office.
AS a rule, men In Mr.. Blount's
position don't say much, and he is
no exception to the rule. He did,
however, impart the information to
some personal friends that he was
more than pleased with the results
of his preliminary survey through
this valley.
In all likelihood permanent survey
will be commenced via the Trap
per's Lake route before winter
sets in. This action would be
In keeping with the oft repeated
declaration Of Mr.. Moffat that the
shortest and most feasible route be-
tween Denver and Salt Lake is
what he is after regardless Of the in
terests Of any town or section. Other
surveys have been made; the White
river route is likely to be the last; SO
when It comes to the final choice OF
routes 1t may turn out that ''the last
shall be first and the first last"

Stop and Think

What about? Just this: Whether
1t is not really for your advantage in
every way to buy your goods from
home merchants, rather than of the
travelling solicitor, who has no home,
pays no taxes here and is only inter-
ested in getting out of you all he can.
Do you go to him when you need
favors? Who buys your produce :?
Who Is interested In all Of your af-
fairs from the fact that your prosper
ity means his prosperity? Who is
your friend and neighbor? The
travelling man or your home dealers :?
We absolutely guarantee to sell you
goods as low as the aforementioned
solicitors, and we have been told that
In some cases our prices are even
lower. The quality of our goods Is
better, and we are always right here
with you to make good our guaran-
tee. You see what you buy; you get
what you intend to buy; you get full
weight or measure and there are no
disappointments when you get home
and examine your purchases.
In saying we will meet outside
quotations we do not mean that we
will make special prices to meet the
occasion, but that our prices ut all
times and to all people are as low as
anyone can or will sell, and strictly
in competition with everyone, and
all we ask is for you to carefully in
vestigate and compare and try to be
just to yourselves and us.

only SO awaited themselves of their

and q against. On a question Of
such Importance every qualified
voter should have made his or her
wishes known-one way or the other;
and 1t fs hoped that at the next cleo
ton on the question full vote will

It is better that the ballot resulted

As far as known, nobody is opposed
to water works, but opinion is divid-
ed as to the amount of Indebtedness
Meeker can stand. The cost of the
late election has been trifiing COM
pared to the amount of good that has
been done in arousing the people in
the question at issue.
Considerable light was shed on the
water question at Monday mornings

along this line continue. 1t il pre-
sumed the question will be before
the people again before very long.
