free Advertising for Colorado

Colorado will get more adve1tis ing
in distant states from the meeting of
the big Reunion of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks next
July than from any meeting ever
held in the West. Already the head
quarters of the General Committee at
the Albany Hotel in Denver is becon
ing the repository of thousands of
copies of newspapers from every sec
tion Of the United States, all contain
ing pleasant mention of Colorado and
the great gathering to be held by the
Elks.
The press of Colorado is doing
yeoman service in advertising the
state and the big meeting" said
William Maher of the committee.
'The newspapers of Colorado go into
every newspaper office in the United
States. Their spirited comments on
the coming meeting of the Elks are
read by editors everywhere and copied
widely. The state is getting such
free advertising as it never had be-
fore. The enterprise of the Colorado
papers will result in infinite good to
the state. Already every newspaper
from sea to sea is aware that the
great meeting is uf immense import
ance just from reading what the
Boosting editors of this state have
printed Any undertaking with the
press of the state behind it is irwin
chile.
The Committee is weeks ahead IN
the work of organizing for the Reun
ion. The Elks OF Denver have al
ready raised large sum by indi
vidual contributions and lodges in
every section Of the state are joining
hands in the work. 1t is estimated
that next years list of visitors to the
state will be twice as large as ever
came to an Elks' reunion in any
other city.

pinChot Issues Instructions

In accordance with the forest re-
serve rules and regulations. on and
after January /, 1905, moderate fee
will be charged for the privilege Of
grazing all classes of live stock.
The forest reserves belong to all Of
the people. but of necessity. under
proper management, their use for
grazing purposes can only be- allowed
to limited number. Therefore it is
fair and just that those who receive
the grazing privilege should pay a
small fee which will go toward help
ing to pay the running expenses of the
reserves.
In order to protect and assist home
builders, a special concession will be
made in the grazing fee on cattle for
the season of 1906 as follows:
The permits of each State or Ter
ritory for the year 1905 will be listed
in order of the number of cattle COW

Garfield County Winners

Garfield county is again TO the
front in the live stock line with IL
steers from the Mt. Sopris ranch.
These steers have been capturing
prizes ever since their calfhood and
now at the national stock show have
taken their final prize for the most
phenomenal gain ever recorded and
tipping the beam at an average of
1900 pounds. They sold on the market
at the fancy price Of $500 per bun
dred and thus, after winning about
800 each in prizes, they bring 800
apiece on the Chicago market. These
are the same calves whose pictures
appear at Parkison' 8 drug store as the
winners OF the handsome silver cup
which Mr.. Grubb placed on exhibit
tion there last fall.

II Had Gone to Stdy

There was once rounded dollar in
the jeans of Farmer Jones, which
tunefully jingled with similar
bunch of bones. And Farmer
Jones that same plunk took and paid
a dept he owed, and 30 it went
travelling on debtor lihtning road
1t visited the editor who sent it on to
Gray, who owed a bill to jenkins, and
he paid the same that day. And
jenkins bought goloshes for to keeps
his "tootsies dry, and the shoe man
paid a grocer by the gentle name of
Frye. Now, Frye, who needed flour
paid it over to the mill, which want
ing wheat for grinding, paid it back
to Jones "till'. And thus it was
Jones dollar, after paying debts
score, went round the whole home
circuit some more-and then some
more. But one day from ''cat"
house in Chicago, or Kay See, there
came whalin' booklet, most wond.
rous strange to see. 1t had million
pictures, it told million tales and
it had for sale most everything from
nutmegs up to whales. 1t said the
retail merchant was robber in dis
guse, and it proved that Annias was
no longer prince of liars. And Jones,
he read that volume and reveled in
the same. He swallowed all it told
him and he went against the game.
He sent the same round dollar for
skim milk" butter churn he got
it, and he found it wasn't worth a
tinker's dern. The carpet for the
parlor, the ''all wool suit for Bill
he found was three parts shoddy and
the rest in good was nil. And the
swell fall hat for Susie, couched in
words so sweet and clear was brea
the the whisper gently-of vintage
yester year. And SO the good round
dollar. and others of the same, went
off the old home circuit against the
cat house game. The butcher and
the banker, the tax collector, too;
the grocer and the miller and others
not few, no longer saw the dollar
on its debt removing way. 1t had

covered; shown by the largest of these
permits will be taken as basis for
this concession.
Applicants for grazing permits will
be charged only halt rate on cattle up
to the number thus established for
their State or Territory, but all cattle
over this number will be charged for
at the full rate.
In determining the amount to be
charged, the advantages of the local
ity, method and cost of handling
stock transportation facilities. mar
ket conditions, and demand for range
will be considered and the rate estab
lished accordingly. The number of
stock to be allowed on each reserve
will be fixed on the basis of mixed
stock as they are usually owned and
ranged in the locality.
In calculating the number for
which permit will be required. and
the amount to be paid for the privi
lege of grazing cattle and horses, all
animals six months old and over at
the time of entering will be counted,
but no charge will be made for calves
and colts under six months of age at
the time Of entering OF for those born
duriang the year for which permit
is granted. The intent is that the
calves and colts raised during any
calendar year shall be charged for
during the following year.
The fact that young stock require
less feed than old stock is taken into
consideration in fixing the rate, and
in all cases the charge will be rea
sonable in comparison with the ad
vantages of the reserve.
1t will he the aim of the Forest
Service to restrict the allowance for
each reserve to number of stock
which experience shows to be the act
ual grazing capacity of the range
under normal conditions, to make
such range divisions among applicants
and different classes of stock as are
for the best interest of the reserve and
commonwealth, and to divide the gra
zing privileges fairly. The advan
tages given in the use of a protected
range are considered TO be full com
pensation for the money collected, and
the earnest cooperation of stockmen
is solicited to carry out the policy of
conservative use of the range under
such restrictions and regulations az
will insure it's permanent utility.

F.-F. Park, who for several months
past has been located at vernal, Utah
where his services as surveyor were
in demand, returned Thursday eve
ming to Glenwood where he will
spend the next six weeks or two
months. Mr.. Park says the Uintah
reservation is all right-plenty of
good land AMI an abundant supply of
good water. Although that country
is little quiet just at present Mr.
Park says every body expects a rush

Now what is the democratic party
coming to when we rise up and pro-
nounce as blessed the man who few
months ago was the object at which
we hurled our most viruIent impreca-
tions? Yet there are democrats, and
some of them high up in the party
councils, who want to steal Teddy
from the republicans and set him
upon pedestal as our own little god.
But suppose we should kidnap the
president. what would we do with
him2 We can't get over the fact
that he did sip with Booker Wash
ington; that he did traduce jeff Davis l.
in his book. and that he deigned 10
eat with Powell Clayton, which Jeff
Davis H. refused to do. We cannot
get over the fact that he shot Span
lard in the back and wrote derisively
about Thomas Jefferson. We can't
get over the fact that he was born
republican, that he has lived repub-
lican all the days of his life and that
he has held many places of honor and
trust as a republican.
There ID an old song that says;
while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
But it is not likely that Teddy,
with contrite heart, will kneel at the
democratic altar and beg for forgive
ness. So if we take him into the
democratic fold as one of the high
priests in the democratic sanhedrim
we must take him unwashed and not
free from guile--republican guile.

of fool democrats who would regard
him as Jonah.
Since his election the president has
played the role of paciticator, as he
should have done. He has sooght to
bring about better fraternal feeling
between the sections and has, to some
extent, endeavored to blot out section
al lines, which was right and proper.
He has made overtures to democrats to
endorse his railroad rebate policy and
his 1sthmian canal policy and has, in
a large measure, succeeded, 1t is
generally understood in Washington
that the president is going to have his
way on the raiload proposition.
which, after all, is not radical enough
to suit the demands of the masses, but
is long step towards the reform de,
sired. He has weaved subtle web
into which democrats have been en-
shared by the song of the spider to the
fly and when rebate legislation has
passed both the house and the senate
and becomes law, it will be herald
ed as a republican victory-in which
there will be no glory at the next
election time for democrats.
Perhaps it would be wiser for the
democrats to endorse a strictly party
measure and stand by it rather than
to go to the aid of the administration
republicans in the passage of meas
ure which would meet inevitable de-
feat without democratic support.
But, as for Teddy, he will be the
same republican when he goes out of
office that he was when he went in

Very respectfully.
JAMES WILSON,
Secretary.
President Agrees with Wilson
The White House,
Washington.

The White House,
Washington,
December 81, 1905.
My dear Mr. Secretary:
have received your letter
of December 2Oth. 1 cordially ap-
prove of the policy you are carrying
on. Your effort is to keep the graz
ing lands in the forest reserves for the
use of the stockmen. and especially
the small stockmen, who actually live
in the neighborhood of the reserves
To prevent the waste and destruction
of the reserves and to keep them 30
that they can be permanently used by
the stockmen no less than by the pub
lie, you have to spend certain
amount of money. Part of this money
is to be obtained by charging small
fee for each head of stock pastured on
the reserve. Less than third of the
actual value of the grazing is at pres
ent charged, and it is of course per-
fectly obvious that the man who pas
lures his stock should pay something
He gets all the benefit OF the pasture
and he pays for its use but small
fraction of the value that it is to
him; and this money is In reality re
turned to him because it is used in
keeping the forest reserve permanently
available for use. You this year make
special reduction by which the
small ranchmen pay but half rates.
This is in accordance with the steady
policy of your department as regards
the western lands, which is to favor
in every way the actual settler, the
actual home maker. the man who
himself tills the sol or himself rears
and cares for his small herd of cattle.
In granting grazing permits you give
preference first to the small nearby
owners;. after that, to all regular oc-
cupants of the reserve range; and
finally to the owners of transient
stock This is exactly as it should be.
The small nearby owners are the
homesteaders, the men who are max
ing homes for themselves by the labor
of their hands, the men who have en-
tered to possess the land and to bring
up their children thereon. The other
regular occupants of the reserve range
that is, the large ranch owners-are
only entitled to come after the small
er men. If after these have been ad
mitted there still remains an ample
pasturage, then the owners Of trans
lent stock. the men who drive great
tramp herds or tramp focks hither
and thither, should be admitted.
These men have no permanent abode.
do but very little to build up the
land, and are not to be favored at
the expense of the regular occupants,
large or small.
This system prevents the grass from
being eaten out by the great herds or
focks of non Presidents. for only
enough cattle and sheep are admitted
upon the reserves to fatten upon the
pasturage without damaging it. In
other words under the policy you
have adopted the forest reserves are to
be used among the most potent infiu-
encss in favor of the actual home
maker, of the man with few dozen
or few score head of cattle, which he
has gathered by his own industry and
is himself caring for. This is the
kind of man upon whom the founda-
tions of our citizenship rest, and it is
eminently proper to favor him in
every way.
Sincerely yours.
| THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
