The crop outlook in this town is fairly
oood. Grass is looking better than for three
years. Potatoes are doing well, though
some fields are rather late. There are about
as many acres as last year of those but
not quite as much in corn, which is rather
late. Some are not raising field corn but
will pillow and seed to grass in the fall.
Apples promise full crop and some va
riaties of pears are doing well. Gardens are
somewhat behind hand and quite little
complaint is made that seeds did not come
well.

THE meeting of the stockmen
in Denver has proven to many
growers that the policy of the
government toward them on the
range is not so bad as many of
them would imagine. The real
facts, as they seem without trial,
would leave one to believe that
the establishment of a fee and
regulations on the reserve would
bring a benefit rather than work a
hardship. To have governmental
protection against law breakers
and cattle stealers, to have cattle
and sheep lines defined, to avoid
overcrowding any one part of the
territory, to receive aid should
disease strike herds, are a few of
the things that would ultimately
be cared for. Forester Pinchot
had no trouble in explaining to
the satisfaction of all arguers that
the government was not butting
into this move without due study
and consideration and that the
growers would themselves eventu-
ally be glad of the move. Up to
the present time the proposal has
been more like a red rag Haunted
in the face of a bull The pro-
lection of the forest reserve and
range means as much to the
cattlemen as to the rancher.
Delta Independent.
The above in a degree vindi-
Gates THE NEWSPAPER position.
This paper was the first in the
west to support the range fee
proposition and defend the ad
ministration against the hysterical
editors who saw destruction to
the cattle man in the charging of
small fee for grazing permits.
There was nothing more apparent
than the fact that the cessation of
sheep wars would more than
recompense for the tax. We are
glad to see that the cattle men
are becoming satisfied that the
grazing fee will operate to their
benefit.

THE jury in the Helen Schmid-
lap murder trial declared the de-
fendant not guilty. There was
not the slightest denial at any
time of the woman's guilt. The
verdict is simply the reflection OF
public opinion that a man who
advises his wife to become pros
titute as means of earning a liv-
ing ought to be killed. We OBJ
serve that the trial judge and the
district attorney both feel agrieved
because conviction was not Sc
cured. Some years ago we sup
ported and helped to pass the
present hanging law so much
criticised. At the time, we said
the intelligence of the jury might
be safely trusted to avoid unjust
executions. We regard this case
as one in point. The very soul of
decent men revolts against met
ing out any punishment upon a
woman who resents with bullet
SO damnable an assault upon her
womanhood. 1t is we'll that such

a man is dead.

WE rise to remark that it would
probably be just as we'll for the
Democratic party in the state to
let the people of Denver settle its
municipal affairs without outside
help.-Denver Democrat.
A very excellent idea and one
that could be safely adopted if
Denver democrats and republicans
did not pack the state conventions
so successfully that outside dele
cations have little if anything to
say about a state ticket. Denver
seems to consider it high treason
aor some outsider to touch upon
her affairs, but she is always ready
to deliver both party organiza-
tions over to Bill Evans at each
state convention. There must be
a sample of reciprocity in these
matters. The people of the state
would be very glad to have Den
yer spank its own baby without
outside assistance but the trouble
is that you always want to spank
every body else's at the same
time. A whole lot of US are yet
charging Denver's cussedness
with the responsibility for his
fraudulency. Acting Governor
Mcdonald.

enough and too far. 1t was the
Evans gang that stole the legisla-
ture, or bought it, which is the
same thing, last term, and it was
that same gang that stole the
gubernatorial chair from Alva
Adams and gave it to Peabody for
"a hours so he could make SUI
preme court appointments die
tated by the rascals that Prosti-
tuted every political right that any
voter had. 1t is the corporations
of the state that are solely and
entirely responsible for every po-
litical rascality perpetrated in
Colorado for years, and no Dem

be caught dead in such company,

inaugurated daily line of stand

in connection with the new Clark
Road. Both cars will leavs Den
yer daily at $50 a. m. and arrive
at Salt Lake City at 1:30 p. m.
the next day. At this point the
cars will be held over until mid
night. thus allowing through pas
sengers the privilege of a stop
over of ten hours and a halt in
Salt Lake City. Eastbound, these
cars will leave Los Angeles at
$50 p. m. and arrive at Salt Lake
City at $3.50 a. m. second morning
where they will remain over until
$3.50 p. M, thence to Denver
where they will arrive at 4:20 the
following afternoon. This stop

II is openly claimed by many
leading men of the state that
Mayor Speer of Denver is more or
less in league with Bill Evans and
the other Denver public utility cor
poration magnates in the manipu-

doubt a great many people over
the state would like to know how
much truth there is in that claim.
If Speer is to stand in with such
Republican political pirates as Bill
Evans of the Tramway company,
