County Board Meets

The county commissioners spent three
busy days this week and besides the
usual work of allowing bills and le-
bates, looked after a number of other
matters brought up by representatives
of different sections of the county
Among other things that came up
for consideration was the expenditure
of Garfield's share of the So, 600 road
fund appropriated by the state at the
last Legislature, 1t isn't that the
commissi oners cant find a place to
spend it but that they have so many
more dangerous hillsides and cave-ins
along the road than they have dollars
at their disposal that it took some
time to reason out plan for the
greatest good to the greatest number
However, the plan decided on is to
advertise for bids on such places as
Webster Hill and Hell's Gate, and
let contracts for the improvement of
same

down to Mitchell creek to view that
road the new road being proposed to
go back of the Mott ranch rather than
through the place as at present.
The piece of road around the Bot

again discussed and the pros and
cons of a pipe line across the river
as the only available way of solving
the ditch problem was heard, but no
definite action taken
The board instructed the health de-

DR.. A. q. Fisk. veterinary surgeon
and dentist. has decided to locate in
Glenwood Springs and now has his
Office at the Glenwood stables 1t
was reported in the afternoon paper
that DR.. Fisk was a graduate of Fort
Collins Agri cultural college but this
was mistake as Fort Collins does
not issue certificates in veterinary.
DR.. Fisk, however, attended the Fort
Collins college several years but is a
graduate of the San Francisco Vet
erinary college with special course in
ophthalmology, and no doubt is fully
capable of rendering the best of medi-
cal aid for those wishing his services.
We give him a cordial welcome to our
city and bespeak for him fair share
of the public patronage.

" Hotel Colorado "

E. l.. Lucas, manager of the Hotel
Colorado, informs the Post that he
has completed arrangements for hav-
ing an electric sign built for the pur-
pose of susrending it between the two
domes on top of the big hotel. The
words "Hotel Colorado" will be
across the face of the massive sign
made up from hundreds of small in
candescent lights and no doubt il will
be a very conspicuous advertisement
for the hotel as well as an attractive
ornament for Glenwood. 1t will be
almost the first thing to catch the eyes
of tourists passing through on either
railroad and will be the means OF hav-
ing many travellers step off in the city
that otherwise might have passed on
through.
Mr., Lucas also contemplates put
ting big electric sign on the bath
house directly across from the Rio
Grande depot and this will add very
materially to the beautiful scenery
along the river at night.
The Hotel Colorado is being made
more attractive to pleasure lovers this
year than it has ever been before and
we congratulate the manager upon
his success in making the big hotel
one of the most pleasant summer re-
sorts that can be found in the state
of Colorado.

They We're on the Bum"

Hey Mister, can you give us a
quarter to get something to eat2"
This plea was addressed to Pest
reporter Monday evening as he was on
his way home, and came from the lips
of lad that did not look to be more
than 10 years of age, With him was
his brother who looked about year
younger.
On questioning the little fellows we
learned that they were from Hastings,
Texas, and were on their way to Pen.
deton, Oregon, where they said they
had relatives that would take care of
them.
"Did you run away from home9"
asked the reporter.
Yes, the old man was so mean to
us that we had to leave. He made US
work all the time and wouldn't t let
us go to school and we amt got any
mother, SO we are on the bum to
Pendleton.
The boys may be young but from
the way they acted this is not the
first time that they have been away
from hdme. As soon as they got some
money they made bee-line for the
Commercial restaurant where they
bought some sandwi ches.
Poth the boys were in rags and
looked as though they had been 'on
the bum" for several weeks. They
had evidently just gotten of q Rio
Grande train that was standing on the
track.

crimson.
1t was evident from the beginning

their cause was lost. Nevertheless,
there was considerable goodnatured

Both sides, however, got out their

of Agriculture and is now in effect:
Whenever any livestock associa-

1itions -
The following explanation of this
clause under signature of Hon. Clifford
Pinchot was contained in the com
munication:
THE intention of this regulation
is TO give stockmen notice of contem
plated action affecting their interests
and to afford them an opportunity to
confer with the forest officers before
final action is taken in regard to gen
eral grazing matters. Favorable con
sideration will be given the recon
mendations of an advisory board ex,
cept when such recommendations are
in conflict with the regulations or
when there is good reason for their
disapproval.
"Livestock ASSOCIATE ons desiring to
take advantage of this regulation
must file an application with the Fol
ester, giving the names of all mem
bers of the association, the name of
the forest reserve or reserves in which
its members are interested, and the
names of the committeeman who are
to act for the association. The com
mittee must not consist of more than
five members, and a majority of the
committee shall constitute quorum,
The application must be accom-
panied by a copy of the constitution
and bylaws of the association and
statement that the action of the com
mittee will be binding upon the as
sociation. Upon the approval of
such application by the Forester, the
association will be entitled to the rec
ognition given under this regulation
and will be notified promptly of any
contemplated changes in the number
of stock allowed on any reserve or dis
trict thereof, any division of the range
between different classes of stock or
Its owners, or the adoption of any
special rules to meet local conditions
'In setting the date of meeting, sufii
cient time will be given to afford all
members of the committee an oppor
tunity to attend but in case they fail
to attend either in personal or by proxy
then the forest officers will be relieved
from all obligation to further delay
action.

ASPEN TO HAVE
THE NEXT FAIR
Farmers of Three Counties Net at
Aspen in Enthusiastic Session
Last Saturday

The farmers of Eagle, Garfield and
Pitkin counties held pleasant and
profitable session at Aspen last Satur
day. w. S. Copeland as president of
the Pitkin Farmers Institute, called
the meeting to order and the visitors
were welcomed in appropriate words
by Mayor Twining and Chairman
Beck of the county commissioners.
At this point the meeting was
turned over to the Tri County Farm
ers club and on motion of c. B.
Fuller the annual fall fair was ten
dered the Pitkin County Farmers In
stitute, which the latter promptly ac-
cepted and for which favor vote of
thanks was extended the Tri County
club. When the local institute again
took charge Prof. W. L. Carlyle of
the Agricultural college addressed the
crowd and as usual his talk was full
of good suggestions and practical ideas
for the farmers. He said in part:
II haven't been able to get hold of
the boys as l would like to do Have
not been able to get hold of the faith
ers and create an interest in behalf
of the boys. My three years in col
lege cost S3S1 as l worked my way
through to great extent. That was
my patrimony from my father and yet
1 would not uade it for all the land
and all the horses and cows which he
gave all the rest of the family"
When the professor came to the
Agricultural college, but four boys
were taking the agricultural course,
all the other students taking civil and
electrical engineering. Now Mr..
Carlyle is proud to report 100 boys
taking the agricultural course. The
state of Wisconsin, he says, pays one
half of every premium given for farm
products at every county fair. He
thought Colorado ought to do the
same as it would insure better exhib-
its and this would mean more study
and effort given to scientific farming.
Fred johnson of Denver followed
Dean Carlyle, his talk being along
the line of organization in institute
work
f. II. Grubb of Carbondale was the
next speaker and his talk was along
practical lines. He said America
was the only country where the farm
er is referred to as ''Old Alfalfa or
"Old Hay seed. In the European
countries the farmers are the aristoc-
racy of the land because they own the
land. He referred to the splendid
work being done by the State Agri-
cultural college. At the last short
course to farmers given by the college
two western slope girls, one at VOL
colt and the other at New Castle, ex-
celled all the boys in agriculture and
stock judging.
Not the least pleasant part of the
days proceedings was the banquet in
the evening, and this was where
everybody could and did come to the
front in style. The Hotel Jerome
furnished the feast and the choicest
of the market was prepared for the
delectation of the 100 guests and men,
bers. After the sumptuous dinner
had received due attention President
Copeland called for toasts on appro.
pirate subjects which were responded
to by Hon. John T. Shumate, Rev.
Felix Dilly, Hon. j, M. Downing,
Fred P. johnson. Rev s. Haupert,
Hon. E. H. Grubb and Dean Carlyle,
tae speeches being interspersed by
songs and instrumental selections by
some of Aspen's talented musicians.
