The Stealing of Catt.e.

One source of immense trouble to
cattlemen has been the calf thief.
Many large "outfit" has gone out Of
business on account of the ''rustler."
Where cow herders have to ride the
range for fifty or seventy-five miles
they are likely to be forestalled in
branding calf by some vigilant rust
Ter whose little mountain ranch is near
the usual grazing place of bunch of
cattle. Or very possibly the puncher
for the big SC ranch has caught and
branded the calf with it's proper mark
and when many months later he rides
on a yearling branded BOB he has
no means of knowing that the owner
of the latter brand has deftly touched
up the SC with a running iron by the
artistic addition of two strokes and
an added letter. It may be stated par
enthetically in passing that more than
one large outfit Of to-day got its
start entirely from "rustled" cattle,
In the more arid southwest rustling Ia
not so common because most of the
water is pumped and cattle get into
the habit of coming home often to
drink and can be watched more close
", but even there it is a factor of no
slight importance.-Leslie's Monthly.

terror, including the administra-
ton of forest reservations. Pos
sibly the officials of that depart
ment will oppose any effort to
make the proposed transfer of au-
thority. No attempt will be made,
however, to take from the interior
department the authority to sell or
otherwise permanently dispose of
such lands. All its authority
would be maintained in that par
ticular.
The reason for suggesting that
the department of agriculture be
given control of forest reservations
is that it is ~better equipped than
any other department to do that
work. The bureau of forestry is
under the department of agricul-
ture, and it has, of course, much
to do with the care of forests on
public lands.
Should both these recommends
tions be adopted, the agriculture
department would be able to ex-
clude from a forest reservation
land that should be thrown open
to the public for grazing. 1t would
also be authorized to grant per-
mits to live stock growers to run
their flocks or herds within the
limits of such a reservation. In
short, everything pertaining to the
use of vacant public land for graz
ing, whether within or outside a
reservation, would come under the
jurisdiction of the department of
agriculture. The deep interest
which Secretary Wilson takes i'll
everything affecting the welfare of
the farmers and stock-growers
would insure just treatment to oil
persons engaged in those indrs-
tries in the Far West, while at the
same time the care of the forests
would be intrusted to competent
officials, fully equipped for work
of that kind.-Denver Republican.

A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE.

There has been a good deal of
newspaper and other misrepresen-
tation recently in regard to certain
alleged utterances by Congressman
Hogg, of the Second Colorado dis
trict, and his position on impor-
tant state issues.
Such misstatements have per-
haps served the purpose of their
authors to some degree, but only
those unacquainted with Judge
Hogg and his record have been de-
ceived thereby.
s In his position as congressman
as well as an individual, Judge
Hogg has always stood for the i'm
partial enforcement of the laws
and the enforcement Of good order
in the state, but he has been also
scrnpnlously observant OF. the
rights and the liberties of all class

His record on these matters has,
in fact, been quite in keeping with
a general policy that has been of
marked benefit to his constituents
in this district and to the people
of Colorado in general. Judge
Hogg's denomination by the dis
trict convention at Glenwood
Springs was a striking indication
of the esteem in which he is held
by the people, and it was doubles,
this popularity that led to the nm
warranted use of his name to boil
ster up positions which he never
did and never would endorse.
Southern and western Colorado
could have no better representa-
tive in congress than Judge Hogg
and his friends and neighbors here
will not fail to mark their approx
al of his course at the proper time.
During his service in congress
Judge Hogg has attained an envi-
able position among the leading
men of that body, and his influ
ence, standing and ability will
count for much good to the entire
state during his next term .-Pu-

The dispatch from General
Stoessel, the Russian commander
at Port Arthur throws new light
on the situation and verifies the
rumor that the japanese have been

One of the most apalling and
frightful wrecks that ever occurred
on a railroad in Colorado, was that
which happened just east of Pue-
bio last Sunday night on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad. Out of a
well loaded passenger train only
about twenty persons were saved.
The train plunged head first into
a raging torrent, where only a few
minutes before was dry gulch
Some of the cars were washed ovel
A mile down the gulch and the
dead were scattered through the

The officers Of the recently de-

made to answer for the manner in

now every evidence that the in

anything but the rankest kind of a
steal. If these rascals are turned

Voters will have a chance at the
approaching presidential election to
express their sentiments for or
against a number of amendments
to the state constitution proposed
by the Legislature recently in ses.
sion, and it will be we'll for them to
study carefully these suggested
changes in the organic law before
casting their votes. Some other
wise dntiful citizens consider them
selves obligated to favor any legis-
latiOn that bears the term "demo-
cratic" without the least inquiry
into its virtnes or provisions. To
this may be attributed the enact
ment of laws that prove mischevious
in the end and ultimately require
repeating. Others give themselves
little concern as to the laws of the
land, underline erroneous impression
that their execution does not affect
them, but are vigorous in denuncia-
ton when they finally become it's
victims. All this can be obviated
by a timely and thorough scrutiny.
