MEEKER.

There's little town where the mountains
spread
And the river winds It's way,
Where the pinon peaks stand silent guard
Musing DER long past day.
There are weiI.laid streets lined with cot
tagea
THE site once the Indians woni)
And the church belts toll In Its lofty spire,
Tells Of what the white mans done.
Dim the pain of the day
when red and white fought
Civtlisation's right
Ahi twas dearly bought;
Out Of death and sorrow
Her fair crown 10 wrought.
There are happy homes and prosperous farms
In the view for miles around,
Where once ErAsed countiesx droves Of elk
and deer
When plain and crag rnngeward bound.
But where the land one time was wilderness
And wild beasts roved at their will
village 10 built In tho canon vale
Whose name breathes Of tragedy still.

OVERRIDING the Reserve Rusines..

Speaking Of the Latest timber re-
serve creation, the Steamboat Pilot
says:
1.-THE Glenwood land ONCE received
. 1l00 word message from Washing-
ton on Monday withdrawing from on
try thousands Of acres Of government
land in Routt county, the entire Park
range from Grand river to the Wy0zn-
ing state line. This II in direct vio-
latlon Of the agreement made by the
special agent who was In here last
summer. = he promised that no 40
most directly interested, the people
time to consider the matter and be
heard from-and that II they were OPP
posed to II the timber reserve would
not be established.
1.-THE hrst withdrawal from entry
In by general lines, the department
claiming that when they get around
to It they will survey and throw out
such land ~ II fitted for agriculture.
But from our experience with
timber reserves we may be permitted
to doubt II this action Ii taken in
many years, and much valuable land,
suitable for agriculture, will be with
held from settlement.
Thousands Of acres Of fine land
are ut present tied up. In the White
River reserve. Twelve years were
required to get thrown open few
sections of this land, and with con-
slant work thousands Of acres Of agri-
cultural land il still tied up.
IA prompt and vigorous protest
should at once be made to the de-
pArtment and to our Representatives
In congress- against this aetion.
wyoming Is . good example Of
too much timber reserve. The people
there are aroused throughout Che
state, but timber reserve once e.
tablished Is there TO stay.
I'm our case the Land Ii simply
withdrawn from entry pending the
establishment Of . reserve.
"Routt county has thousands upon
thouasnds Of acres, unimproved and
untaxable, because 1t belongs to the
state. Now the national government
10 trying to obtain the balance Of the
land to keep 1t from settlers and
home builders"
THE Herald endorses every word
Of the above.

SHERIFF'S STATEMENT.
Saws He Did Not Know What He
Was Signing When He Re-
ceipted for Henderson.

Saluda, November I9.-Sherif Rho
den today gave out the following
statement to your correspondent in
reference to the w. L. Henderson
matter concerning which an article
appeared in the State of November
y. What follows is verbatim state
ment by Sheriff Rhoden:
t:Mr. n. C. Evans of Edgeheld pre-
sented to me a paper for my sigma
ture stating that it was for the pur-
pose of getting bail for w. L. Hen
derson. I did not read the paper and
at his request signed it. Thereafter
this paper was presented to my son,
J. L. Rhoden, who is my deputy, for
him to ahix the official seal of my
office. He affixed the seal thereto.
In reference to the reward said to
have been paid to Maj. R. S. Anderson
of Edgeheld and the method by
which it was obtained I consider the
whole thing fraud. In my opinion
there was never any reason for re-
ward for Henderson being asked for
as he had not made any effort to es-
cape nor was he able to escape of he
had wanted to. I did deputize spec
ial constable to take charge Of Hen
derson while he was at the home Of
Mr.. J. B. Davis and sent the papers
to this special deputy by Mr.. n. G.
Evans. This special constable retus-
ed to act and the papers were return
ed to me. I then sent my son to Mr..
Davis to take charge Of Henderson
and guard him and Henderson was IN
the custody of my son until Tuesday
evening when as stated in the State
of today by the Saluda correspondent
Henderson at his own request was
brought here where Sc has been since
and where he now is

TILLMAN ON THE RESULT.
No Use to Discuss It-Prosperity Of
Country, Roosevelt's Personal
Popularity and Use of
Money the Agents.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Trenton, November Ex-senator
B. R. Tillman is taking life easy at
his home in Trenton. He is spend
ing most of the time out OF doors,
giving directions as to his farming
operations. to the fattening OF his
supply OF hogs and the ordinary work
around the place. Whatever spare
time he has he devotes to his flower
garden and hot house.
Most men have their fads, and the
doctors say that everyone ought to
have a fad to take the mind off of the
serious things of life. Senator Till
mans fad is flowers. He has as fine
collection of garden and hot house
flowers as can be found in this state.
In fact his place looks more like
nursery than an ordinary farm house.
Senator Tillman is enjoying good
health. He is taking care of himself
and is in the best of spirits. He pro-
poses to nurse his throat and it has
not given him any serious trouble in
some time.
Senator Tillman does not think
that it does good to talk about the
democratic catastrophe. He says that
there is no sense in talking about a
reorganization of the party, or any
thing else of that kind, but that the
democrats will simply have to be
steadfast ard keep in the middle of
the road, and that their time will
come.
He explains the Roosevelt ava
lanche first, by the abundant prosper
ity of the country. Second, the per-
sonality of President Roosevelt
Third, the use of money, and fourth,
that Bryan was not able to pacify his
former followers.
He thinks that the Roosevelt wave
was due to the four causes in the
order named.
Senator Tillman says that, of
course, the abundant prosperity Of
the nation had a great deal to do with
the republican success, but that those
who figure on the causes ought al
ways to caluclate on Roosevelt's per-
sonality and the admiration that
many have for him as man of ac-
ton
Senator Tillman said that he had
spent a good deal of time during the
active days Of the campaign in India
ma and Illinois, and he was satisfied
that the Palmer and Buckner, or
gold democrats, all supported Parker,
but that the returns would indicate
