through Washington, Of course. on
the recommendation II prominent
citizen of Colorado aud will he no
more ridiculous than some II the
orders that have already come.
The reserve people will have
plenty If smart speakers at the
meeting to tell voa there is no poll
ties in the business and pour oil ON
the troubled waters just ask them
if politics don't euser into this mat
ter, how it is that on the Reserves
already in operation one man 9s.ts u
permit for oil his cattle, another tov
fifty per cent of his and another for
ten per cent of his, and still another
can not get one IT his on the range
ut all II they mean 10 give every
man a square deal why not reduce
the pro rata # grass is scarce? Ask
them why a county commissi 'ner of
Garfield county, man respected by
everyone, owning ranch aud a
bunch OF cattle, WAS denied the right
to put cattle on the Battlement re-
serve this year when thousands oi
scres Of grass were going 10 waste.
Why was Mr. Dttmsn, . co~aty
commissioner Of Mesa county, this
year denied the grazing privilege he
has enj Dyed for eighteen, years and
Why did q political boss at Carbon
dale say TO an honorable, induslr rlous
citizen of that town, IF you don
do as | tell you, You cant get a per-
init next year? No, of course, poli
tics have nothing to do with this
matter. A man living near here
stated to friend not long ago that
he was in favor of leasing system
because they were going to put two
OF his neighbors out Of the cattle
business as soon as they got things
fixed so they could. How does thai
sound, American citizen? Mr. Grubh
has been travelling over the western
slope for almost a month now max
ing speeches for forest reserves
This kind of trip costs lots ol
money Who paws his bills? |
don know who paws EN-, but | can
guess. Everybody believes in timber
reserves, in 40 far as they protect
the timber, but it is buncombe tnI
pretend that the rules in regard h.
the grazing of cattle on the reserve es
are anything but political graft
One sawmill man will DESTROY more
timber in FIVE minutes than all the
cattle in Eagle county would destru,
in a hundred years Mr. Koch ,i
Aspen WAS on the Midland train east
Saturday and the writer heard him
say to lumberman on I,oard, I'll
von will come mp into the Holy
Cross reserve | will give YOU a con-
tract of skidding timber and will
guarantee you one million feet. !"
Talk about saving the timber,
Rats! But they say they want to
preserve the snow 80 the dear farm
ers can have plenty of water. This
is buncornbe also. A friend OF mine,
in an official capacity, has kept =
record OF the snow in the timber for
nine years and his records will show
conclusively that the highest water
we have docs not occur until after
the snow is all gone up TO the timber
line. The department Of agriculture
does not intend to do a wrong to the
settlers of Colorado. But some one
with an Ak to grind is always max
ing report, and this is where our
troubles all come from. Don't over
look the meeting At GIenwood
Springs. and come prepared to tell
them ~hat you think Of il in plain
language. CATTLE RAISER.
