Mass Convention Of Stock Growers
and Farmers at Glenwood
Springs, Dec. 1.

The forest reserves In the state are
crowding in upon each other and are
about to crowd out the live stock men
and make it hard for new settlers to
get land, 30 q vigorous protest is to
be made against the rules Of the for
estry department., and justice de-
mnnded. The convention Is to be
held in Glenwood Springs, December
LIST. The railroads have given the
special rate of one fare for the round
trip or half rate and it includes all
towns in the western part OF the state
from Durango south, to Dillon in the
north.
The reason for this convention is
the charge of 20 and 80 cents per head
for feeding stock on the forest re-
serves, and other Inconvenience to
which the settler is put to secure fire.
wood, fence poles or necessary TIM
Der to build home. The restrictions
are such that all stockmen and home
builders in Colorado are interested
and they are called together to make
u protest that will be understood at
Washington, and the rules Of the for
est reserves moderated SO that the
state will not be stunted In its growth.
Turn out now or forever hold your
peace against any rules and regula-
tions and forest reserves.
Every stockman, whether he Is Of
an association or not will have a
voice on the floor.

witness the finish Of the beet harvest,
however, and the present state Of af-
fairs Is owing to the inability of the
railroads to furnish ears and the fact
that the facilities at the factory for
handling beets are very inadequate.
The contracts call for payment on the
10th of all beets weighed last month
and next week there will be big
sum of money paid to growers in the
vicinity Of Rifle. While It cannot be
stated at this time who had the larg-
est yield, there will be none with an
average of 20 tons to the acre. But

a NEW MAIL ROUTE.

II has been suggested to THE
b. >NAL that, owing to the prev
ence of the power boats in our
aters, it is entirely practical to
btablish a new mail route-and
needed one-which will enable
9iie people oil Matthews &. Il. to
answer their Baltimore. New York
! Ind other Northern mail the same
. lay it is received, and will enable
khe people of lower MiddIesex to
ct daily mail from Norfolk, in
uding the daily papers of that
ky on the day they are pub
he'd.
The plan is TO establish route
Som some point in lower Middle
I, Ruarks or Sandy Bottom, to
ickct Hill by gasoline launch,
&c fronFCricket Hill to Mathews
II +. thence to Williams wharf
ld by Old Dominion steamer to
orfolk. If this can be done,
ting say at Ruarks at I o'clock
N. the mail could reach this
lace in time TO catch the Norfolk
bail leaving here at $50 A. NJ.
Iii the return trip would leave
re at $3.50 or 4 P. NJ. it would
ve AN abundance of time to
tch the Rappahannock steam
for Baltimore at North End
f at 7 p. NJ. This would de-
DIAthe Norfolk nl2;;ll to lower
Middlesex and enable the people
of this section not only to answer
siaRIr Northern mail the same day,
bUt give them six hours longer in
Mathews before leaving for Balti-
more, for arrangements could
easily be made with the mail boat
to take passengers. The same
would be given the
people Of lower MiddleseX to
catch the Old Dominion steamer
which leaves Williams wharf at
1918 for Norfolk.
We think this route would
sEaXe greatly useful both to
zfhews and MiddleseXs to the
sea4ing, business and travelling
public, and we hope some concert
of action may make the route a
certainty.

4 Letter from a Grand Old Gentleman
Who Ha1 the Respect, Confidence
and Admiration Of All.
BLACKSTONE, Va, Nov. y.

bLAOhS ONE, ' ii. -NON.
Mr.. EDITOR: We reached here
ON the 24th inst. aoout 3 p. M.
and found ladies and gentlemen
waiting at the station to take US
in buggies to the parsonage about
one-half mile away, where a good
dinner was waiting us.
Our parsonage is in this town,
but my seven churches are out in
the country. Ny predecessor,
Rev. w. G.. Boggs. moved out of
this parsonage into the elegant
new one, about half q mile away,
close to the handsome new Meth
odist Church. This is by far the
largest and most influential
church here, bat the different dc
nominations dwell together in the
bondS- Of Christian love. There
is to be a Union Thanksgiving
service at the Presbyterian
Church next Thursday, and l have
been chosen to preach the sermon.
Our parsonage IS about one
mile from the Blackstone Female
Institute, the marvel Of this sec
ton. built up under the inspiring
genius of the Rev James Can
non, Jr., DID, one Of the great
men of the State and church in
this Commonwealth. The FIVE
children with rs will enter this
institution - the two youngest
will go in the primary depart
ment.
Ny work here will be laborious,
but it will be sweetened by many
delightful elements which will
enter into it. And here let nee
thank my many friends IN Math-
evs of all faiths, and those who
belong to no communion. for the
many acts of kindness and words
of appreciation which ! received
during my two years stay among
them, and especially during the
closing days. And how can !
! thank THE JOURNAL for its kind
words in the issue of Nov %
AS George y. Prentice said of the
matchless =" Lines addressed fO q
Skclet0R:" One could wish him
self dead to have such words writ
ten TO his memory" SO l can say
that the thoughtful acts done foI
us, and the kind words said to US,
more than compensate for oul
disappointments and sacrifices.
They will be reprinted in the
paper here, and in our church
papers also. 1t is needless to say
that the presence of The jour
NAL in our new home gives US
great satisfaction. 1t gave me
great satisfaction to read your
wol thy words concerning my dear

a long existance was brought to
a sudden 'close Monday afternoon
when Ulyssis, the thirty-two year
old horse owned by Judge Dunham,
was led to his place of execution.
His final resting place was prepared
several days in advance and he
walked to the "bone yard with his
executor, Atty. \. j. Bradley. Age
had made him valueless for a mum
Der Of years and his worn out organs,
Indigestion, poor sight and rheuma-
tism made life to him scarcely worth
living, so his end was mercifully de
signed and performed.
The Presidents curtailment of his
hunting trip in order that he may re-
turn to Washington in time to con-
suit the various railway men who
will hold their international congress
in the national capital Is entirely
characteristic of the man. Nearly
/ 900 delegates will attend the Con
gress, representing 2l0 foreign and
81 American railroads ThirtyIiVe
foreign nations will be represented
at the congress. Consideration of
this great gathering has convinced
the President that there may be
much information which will prove
valuable to him in his campaign
against railway evils to be CLEANED
from the delegates to this Congress,
especially those coming from abroad
where, in many instances, the rail
ways are managed on a plan which
has proved more satisfactory To both
shippers and consumers than Is the
case in this country. ltOnly rcqnlr-
ed that the President should become
convinced that there was an oppor-
tunity to gain valuable information

meeting.
