The Next Attraction

There is to be play of strong heart
interest at the Glenwood Opera house
next Thursday evening, Nov. IS, in
which the nerve and pushing CO.
aheadativeness of the typical AmeIi
can will be shown in its true quality.
The piece which claims to do this is
Manager U. d. Newells great comedy
drama, "a Jolly Americana Tramp, 4"
which not only depicts the trials, tri-
bulations and hardships of an honest
workman, who, through adverse
stress of circumstances. was compelled
to be hobo, but it also shows the
magnanimity of this same tramp who,
after being rehabilitated in society,
not only forgives but forgets all the
injustice that has been done him and
aids others equally distressed to bear
their burdens and become reconciled
to fate. The play, while playing on
the heart strings, also contains many
ludicrous and laughter provoking sit
uations and intensely stirring eli.
makes. There will be specialties of
an interesting nature. The cast is
the best that is obtainable and con-
tains such we'll known names as Ber.
line Farnsworth. Clark Russ Happy
Jack, the tramp, Virginia Melville
and Vera Wilson.

Says There Are Two Sides

The stockgrowers in some portions
of the state are tearing up the earth
because the government intends to
charge them from 20 to 35 cents per
head for the privilege of grazing
their cattle on the forest reserves,
and have called convention of the
protestants for December at
Glenwood Springs
just at the present time it would be
the popular thing to call the govern
ment robber and horsethief, but we
are not going to do it ultil we are
shown wherein lie the great wrongs
which are being perpetrated upon
the stockmen. From purely selfish
standpoint we would like we'll enough
to see the fees dispensed with. and
shall offer no objection to the stock
men securing all possible concessions
from the government, as of course it
is to their interest to do so. How
ever, we fail to see where the gov
ernment is acting the part of a
knave and a robber in charging the
stipulated price. Perhaps they are
high and we are willing to see them
reduced, but we do not believe they
can be called exhorbitant
There is no doubt but these reserves
will prove to be of much benefit to
the people of this state While they
may seem for time like hardship,
the expense incurred will doubtless be
returned tenfold in benefits, and in
terested parties should make a
thorough investigation of the methods
to be employed and the benefits to be
derived before condemning Uncle
Sam for trying 70 get back little of
the money he is putting into the
work.
And we cannot blame the stock
men for getting all concessions posi-
BILE from Uncle Sam. but they should
recognize that it is by no means a
one sided proposition. .-Olathe Criter-

County Commissioners Make Lew

There was very little business OF
importance transacted by the county
commi issioners at their meeting this
week beyond the allowance Of bills
and other regular routine affairs ex-
cept the fixing of the county levy.
This was slightly raised over the
figures of last year. The regular
county levy was raised from total
of 20 to "a mills. The ordinary coun
ty revenue fund was raised from eight
to nine mills while the road levy was
made six and onehalf mills as against
five of last year. The lew for school
district No. l was made 10 mills this
year when it was eight and nine -tenths
last year.

Holmes Compromises with County,.

The county commi ssioners last
Tuesday made compromise settle
ment with H. j Holmes of the Ava
LAM he for his bill against the county
for publishing the official list of nom
nations preceding the last election
Mr.. Holmes was furnished by the
county clerk the copy for the publ
cation, with written instructions
that it must appear only in the Week
ly Avalanche. A certain form was
also prescribed which Mr.. Holmes
was asked to follow Mr. Holmes
ignored the instructions of the clerk,
not only by printing the list six times
in the daily paper as we'll as once in
the weekly issue, but he discarded the
form recommended by Mr.. Cardnell
and adopted the form which printers
throughout the state believe to con
form to the statutes.
Mr.. Holmes presented his bill to
the county, claiming for the weekly
publication $232 26, and for the daily
1895 s6, a total of 81, 1913 SO. 9 Upon
the advice of County Attorney Dar-
row and the protest of Clerk Gard
nell, the commissioners disallowed
both bills, claiming that no order had
been given for publication in the
daily, and that Mr. Holmes had failed
to make legal publ ication in his
weekly, but had folded in the weekly
two pages from his daily publication
with no change whatever save a
change in the head.
Mr.. Holmes, through Senator Tay-
lor, brought suit to collect his bills.
County Attorney Darrow demurred to
his complaint and Judge Shumate
sustained the demurrer as to the daily
publication. practically amounting to
a non suit as to the claim for 1895 SO.
A hearing was expected on the claim
for the weekly publication at the
coming session of the district court
but for the settlement made on Tues
day. The payment of the $3.50 was
with the understanding that Mr.
Holmes dismiss the case now pending,
at his own cost. The excess over and
above the $232 26 is said to represent
the interest on the amount to date.

Record Your Brand

With 500 600 in the stay fund and
more constantly coming in. and the
further fact that at least one half of
the money will never be claimed by
owners of the cattle because of the
difficulty of proving ownershi p
through unrecorded brands, the brand
department of the secretary of state $
Office has begun a crusade among
stockmen to arouse them to the ne
cessity of having their brands record
ed
The cattle stealing case recently
tried in Denver developed the fact
that many cattlemen in the state are
running stock on the range without
having their brands recorded. 1t
also made clear that it is next to i'm
possible to prove ownership in court
satisfactory to a jury without pro-
ducing certified copy of the re-
cord of the brands.
The laws of Colorado provide pro-
lection for all live stock carrying re-
corded brands. The only legal title
to cattle running on the public range
in this state is recorded brand To
brand cattle and not record the brand
is the same thing as holding a deed
to real estate and which has not been
placed on record Cattle without
brands, or carrying brands which have
not been recorded are fair prey for
cattle rustlers and are in constant
danger of being lost.
W. c. Baker, brand clelk in the
secretary of states office, is calling
the attention of Colorado cattlemen
to the situation and urging them to
have their brands recorded, in order
to protect their cattle should they go
astray or be taken up by rustlers.-

The plan of the experiment is out
lined as follows:
Each plantation will consist of 800
trees of each of the two species select
ed; each plantation will be put in
charge of some responsible person
who shall volunteer 10 furnish the
ground, set the trees and irrigate
and cultivate them according to in
structions. The experiment station
will furnish the trees free of expense
to the person in charge. will super
wise the planting and will leave the
plantation entirely in the possession
of the owner of the ground at the
end of ten years.
The trees of both species will be
planted in rows six feet apart, with
the trees four feet apart in the rows,
thus covering about one third of an
acre. The rows will extend usually
north and south and the area covered
will be not more than twice as long
as broad. A wind break will be used
where thought necessary.
Any land owner in the vicinity of
any of the points selected for the ex-
pertinent wishing to co operate with
the state in the experiment can write
to Prof. Wendell Paddock. agricul

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov. 6.
Eastern markets reported light
run of cattle last week. but the de-
mand was also very limited and
prices are Is to CSC lower on every
thing except the very best. On the
Denver market there was good sup
ply every day. The demand was also
good rs there was plenty of buyers
here, but railroads were still unable to
furnish cars and buyers took hold slow
ly. Everything sold daily but at
prices 10 to zoe lower than the week
before. The yards are now we'll
cleared and plenty of cars in sight
Receipts for the last three weeks
have averaged over 2, 900 head per day,
and practically everything found
buyer here at very satisfactory prices.
Good beef steers were in demand by
the packers last week, but common
and half fat kinds little slow.
Some choice sold at $3 So, but few
landed above $3. So and bulk only good
enough to bring $3. 90 to 81. so. Cows
sold up to 81. 80 with the bulk of the
weeks business at $22 to 81. rs.
Bulls were about steady at 81 rs to
u 90, and veals ranged largely from
49, 90 to "A. 90. Choice feeders sold
around $3 so with the freight paid,
with the bulk of the business at 81. 80
to *3 55. Trade today was late in
starting but was active after it did
get under way. Prices were about
steady. Over $500 arrived. Eastern
markets had good run and prices
again weak to lower.
Sheep receipts continue heavy on
this market over $50, 900 arrived
during the month of October, which
breaks all records in the history of
the yards. The volume of business
done here is rapidly increasing, and
Denver is fast becoming one of the
leading feeder sheep markets of the
country. A large number were offer
ed and sold here last week at rather
better than river prices. The de.
mand is still good for all that come
this way.
