Good Nan In a Good Place

Glenwood Springs employs twelve
teachers, four of whom are in the
high school. Free text books are pro
vided and splendid library of 1900
volumes has been gathered. Three
hundred dollars per year for library
books means much for the Glenwood
schools
Charles H. King is evidently a
good man in good place. A splen-
did school spirit prevails at the Colo

OPPOSED TO
BIG PRESERVE
Residents Of Western Slope Do
Not Relish HdmliR GdrIdRd's
Plan for Creation of
National Park
PROTEST NOW BEING CIRCULATED

The scheme of Hamlin Garland to
have national park created in north
western Colorado to be taken from
Routt, Rio Blanco, Eagle and Gar
field counties is far from popular
with the residents of the affected dis
trlct, If one may judge from the fol
lowing protest which is being exten-
sively circulated and signed in the
counties to the north of us:
We. your petitioners, respectfully
beg leave to present to you our pro-
test against the proposed action
whereby it is intendede to convert all
or part of the White River Forest
Reserve, in Routt, Rio Blanco, Gar
field and Eagle counties, Colorado,
into national park. AS cause for
our objection to such change, we re-
spectfully present the following rea-
sons
| First. The territory adjacent to
and surrounding said forest reserve
is now occupied by many bona fide
settlers who are engaged more or less
extensively in the live stock industry
Many of your petitioners are among
such settlers, and some of them are
included within the limits of the res
ervation, having procured land and
ranches there before the creation of
! the reserve. These settlers now have.
under the regulations of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, the privilege of
grazing their herds within the reserve,
and the use by them of those lands for
grazing purposes is absolutely neces-
sary If they are to continue to live in
the stock business. The raising of
cattle is practically the only source of
income available to these settlers and
should they be excluded from the res
ervation it would spell absolute ruin
not only to these stockmen but to
many other citizens whose business
depends upon the prosperity of these
settlers and would irreparably dam
jacent territory.
Second. We believe that no desir-
able ends would be accomplished by
the creation of such proposed national
park. AS forest reserve, the timber
growing upon these mountains is care
fully protected under the supervision
of the forestry service of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The destruction
of the forests is prevented, and the
preservation of the natural vegetation
is made certain. While this is truly
district of grand and beautiful seen
cry, all of it's natural attractions are
now protected, and nothing additional
in the matter of protection could be
gained If certain portions OF the re-
serve were converted into a national
park.
Third. AT the present time under
proper restrictions and regulations Of
the forestry service, the settlers with
in the reserve and in the territory
adjacent to it are allowed, under the
supervision of proper officers, to enter
the reservation and cut mature timber
for lumber and home building pur-
poses. and to remove dead and fallen
wood for fence building. fire wood ond
other uses. We fear that should this
district become national park these
privileges would be greatly curtailed
and perhaps entirely abolished, to the
great embarrassment and damage of
these settlers.

A GIFT FROM FRANCE.
Bust of George Washington to Be
Presented to United States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
NJ. Jusserand; the French ambassa.
dor at this capital, on behalf OF the
people of France. will present to the
Congress OF the United States on
February .. a bronze bust of George
Washington mounted on n beautiful
marble pedestal.
This bust is a replica Of the origi.
nal bust made by. the sculptor David
Dangers in the year 1923. All the
expenses were betrayed by public
subscriptions and the bust was pre-
scented to The United States in the
name OF the people Of France. The
sculptor was aided In his work by
General Lafayette. That bust was
placed in the capitol here and was
destroyed In the fire of 1851.
Recently it was ascertained that
the clay model from which the orig:
inal bust was cast was still intact at
Anglers. the native town of tho scnlp.
tor. a popular fund was raised and
a fresh cast of the bust made and a
marble pedestal provided Tor it.

ing Men.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. s.
There will be no Monte Carlo estab.
lished at Hot Springs by George f.
Considine, or Eddie Burke. or any.
body else. through any bill which
may pass Congress.
Mr.. Robinson, of Arkansas, intro.
duced n bill giving Considine and
Burke. authority to construct and on.
crate a railroad TO the summit Of
West Mountain, and to build and on.
crate a hotel at the summit. The
bill. which passed the House last
Thursday, expressly provided that
nothing could be done without the
approval of the Secretary of the In.
terror. II the Secretary did not ap.
prove the place should not he per.
mittcd to run.
Mr. Robinson said he had been told
when he introduced the bill that Con.
sidine and Burke were capitalists,
out ne learned that lhey are sporting
men. 81 shall see that the bill does
not pass the Senate" said Mr. Rob:
inSon.
The Statement that George Consi-
dine has "pull" with the President
is unwarranted. He and "Big Tim
Sullivan and William Sulzer were
frequently at the White House in an
effort to get Jim Considine out of
the penitentlary in Columbus. where
he is serving a term for robbing a
postoflce. When Moody became At.
torney General he recommended jim
Considme's pardon. and the Presi-
dent approved it.

liquor will kill a billy goat and Sec
ond Y is mighty little better if any.
There is more poison going out over
the dispensary counter than in all
the drug stores in the state. That
sort of business must be stopped and
stopped with lump. Let a man
put his own water in his liquor ard
let the dlspensary sell nothing but

"A Loss
TO KINGs7REE.
4 capt PURVIS NELSON VISITED BY The
- DEATH angel IN HIS 18TH Year.

Kingstree, July 22:-Capt
Geooge Purvis Nelson, a land
mark of Williamsburg, and es-
pecially of the town of Kings
tree, died at his residence here
yesterday in the 10Th year of
his age. Capt Nelson's family
have been identified with the
town of Kingstree from its ear
liest history as a town. The
family homestead is the Oldest
in town and the town itself is to
a great extent built on the Mel
son plantation.
Capt Nelson was a man of
striking personality and strong
character. No man in Williams
burg had larger acquaintance
or more friends, and the out
pouring of old and young at his
fuperal today amply testified to
this fact. Up to the breaking
out of the war Mr. Nelson led
the usual easy-going life of the
low-country planter, but at the
first call to the arms he iOined
as first lieutenant Of the Will
liamsburg troop of cavalry,com-
manded by Capt John Calvin
Wilson, and when a little later
capt Wilson was advanced to
the majority, Lieut. Nelson be-
came captain of the troop. His
company was stationed on the
coast near Georgetown and he
served faithfully and gallantly
until his failing health COM
pclled h n to retire.
One of his old comrades speak
!, ing of hiIl today, said: "Purvis
Nelson was as brave a man as
went into war" After the war
he was not daunted by gloomy
outlook, but went to work like
a true man to mend his broken
fortunes. Later on. when the
dark days of Demonstration were
Upon the State, no man in this
county tooka a more prominent
part in her delivery than Mr. Mel
SON. In all places and at all
times when cool-headed deter
mination was the quality most
in demand, G p Nelson natural
ly came to the front.
In manner MIR Nelson was
and unaffected.
# he liked you you became
{, his friend and remained so. He
was an old style Democrat and
in all the vagaries of South
Carolina politics he held fast to
his ancient moorings. He was
devoted to his family and loyal
to his friends, and they rejoice
today because that after him,
sshis good name still survives" :"
