ASK FOR A REVISION
OF THE FORESTRY LAWS

Realizing that the existing statutes
are inadequate, the Colorado State
Forestry Association has prepared a
memorial to be presented at the next
session of the legislature asking that
the forestry laws be amended so as
to embrace a definite policy in rela-
ton to the preservation of the timber
on the public lands. The association
desires the establishment Of state
board of forestry, state forestry and
a department of forestry in the the
state agricultural college at Fort Col
Inns, a state nursery in which to pro-
duce utility trees for farmers and land
owners, and an experiment station for
demonstrating the relative and abso-
lutte values OF different kinds OF trees
for the educational benefit OF tree
growers.
It also asks for law regulating the
Christmas tree business and stop the
indiscriminate slaughter OF young for
ests for Christmas use. and to forbid
Christmas trees being shipped out OF
the state for sale without the permits
sion of the state forestry.
The petition requests that 1t be made
a mlsdemeanor to cut and sell Christ
mas trees without written permit
from the state forester; that no per-
son shall cut such trees from any
lands not his own without the written
coneant of fhe owner and that all
trees cut shall be reported to said
forester as to number, where and OF
whom procured; also, that 1t be an
offense for any express company, rail-
way company, or any other carries
to ship Christmas trees to any other
state without a written permit from
the state forester

HARMFUL STOMACH DOSING
No Need of It When Hyomei Is Used
to Cure Catarrh.

Physicians and scientists agree that
the less medicine one swallows the
better. 1t is in keeping with this idea
that Hyomei is recommended by lead
ing physicians throughout this and
other catarrhal sections.
When this treatment is used in ca
tarrhal troubles, there is no stomach
dosing, for the medicine is taken in
with the air you breathe, and goes
right to the spot where the catarrhal
germs are present, healing the inflam-
ed and irritated mucous membrane,
killing the disease germs and entering
the blood with theoxygen. driving all
catarrhal germs from the system.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head by putting medicine into your
stomach,-this is neither scientific
nor common sense treatment, Breathe
the healing balsams of Hyomei and in
few days you will notice relief. and
its continued use will result in COM
plete and lasting cure.
Mitchell & Egbers have seen so
many cures made by Hyomei amongst
their customers, several of them cases
where all hope of relief had been CIV
en- up, that they give an absolute
guarantee of cure, or money will be
refunded, with every outfit they sell.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but L, while extra bottles OF Hyomei
If needed, are only so cents.

the complaint OF citizens OF South
Canon charging him with repeated
violations OF the law In relation to his
saloon on Prospect Heights. on Friday
paid into the county treasury the sum
OF $500 rs n penalty for these offences.
AdamIc was found guilty Of the fol-
lowing mlsdemeanors, viz: Keeping
his saloon open on Sunday; selling 10
minors. two cases: and permitting
women to enter his place OF business.
In each case he was fined the sum Of
5000. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court OF the state on a writ
of error. In which the defendant asked
for a writ supersedeas to stay the ex-
ecution of the sentence imposed upon
him by Judge Cooper. The superior
court denied the appeal few days
ago. and the defendant was under the
necessity OF choosing between paying
up or going to jail.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
PROVES INTERESTING

colorado has the highest average
elevation of all the states-6S00 feet" !"
says Mr.. Henry Gannett, of the United
States Geological Survey, in the Ga
zetteer of Colorado bulletin No. 291)
which he has just brought out. Its
height above sea level is perhaps the
most characteristic thing about this
favored commonwealth. for its other
peculiarities might be thought by the
.fanciful to follow naturally-its ore
treasures, its life-giving atmosphere,
its enfranchised women. The lowest
point is over 5000 feet and the highest
is 14,40O above sea level.
In general terms the eastern third
of Colorado is composed of high plains,
the middle third of the Rocky Noun
tains, and the western third OF pla-
teaus stepping downward toward the
Colorado river.
The plains rise from an altitude OF
300 to 1000 feet at the east boundary
of the state to 5000 to 5000 at the foot
of the mountains. Their surface is
rolling and in some places broken.
From the westermost of the mountain
ranges the country descends into Sc
ries of plateaus, some of which are hor-
izontal and others inclined at different
angles and in various directions. Most
of the streams, whether perennial or
not, are in canyons cut to varying
depths. This plateau region is drained
entirely by tributaries of the Colorado
river. The higher of these plateaus
are we'll watered and covered with for
ests, but as one descends the region
becomes more desert like, the lowest
parts of the plateau having all the as
poets of desert.
The principal rivers are North Platte
South Platte, Arkansas, Rio Grande,
Yampa, White, Grand, Gunnison, Do
lores and San Juan. None of these
streams are navigable. They head in
the mountains and with steep and rug
ged courses flow to the plains or pla-
teaus. With their numerous branches
in the mountain country of Colorado,
these rivers probably furnish more
abundant supply of water for irriga-
ton purposes than the streams Of any
other state in the arid region.
In spite Of its great elevation the
temperature of Colorado is but slightly
lower than In regions of the same lat
itude near sea level, because the iso-
tehrmal lines are carried up by the
great mass of country. The range Of
temperature between day and night,
between summer and winter and be-
tween the highest and lowest temper
aures recorded, Is very great, far

APPROVES
NEW FOOTBALL RULES

Western people begin to believe that
they are getting the hang OF the new
rules In the football game and are
sanguine that they will be able to put
some elevens on the field which shall
play better football than the west
has seen since the game was taken to
that section OF the country by college
men who had returned home from the
east.
Furthermore, there is great deal
of praise coming from the west for the
new rules. In fact there is nothing
but words OF praise heard on all sides
for the new regulations. where three
weeks ago a number of peevish and
pessimistic gentlemen were insisting
that the rules committee had made a
botch Of their task and that the game
would be worse In 1906 than 1t had
been In 1905.
It Is certain that weight Is no longer
to be factor in American football.
OF course 1t will not entirely be dis
pensed with, for It is essential that
there shall be some weight on the line
to balance It. However, there will be
no longer d demand ON the part Of the
coaches for weight without speed. The
batterIng ram, push ball era OF foot
ball has been done away with, and In
the future the sport will be that OF
running contest, which was originally
intended should be the case. Dis
torted ideas as to what football
amounted to brought about the heavy
lines and the mass formations. which
became 80 intolerant to the spectators
after they had witnessed them fef
years In succession.

greater than in the Mississippi val
ley or on the Atlantic coast. The state
lies within the arid region.
These facts and many others relat-
ing to the history, agriculture, manu-
factures, mining, and mapping of Colo
RADIO are briefly set forth by Mr.. Gan
nett in his Introductory chapter.
The population in 1905 wa, probably
not far from 100000, of which 55 per
cent. were males and As per cent fe-
males. The number of foreign born
was II per cent. to SO per cent. of ma
tive born. In literacy the people Of
Colorado are exceeded by those Of only
nine other states and territories.
Measured by the value of its product,
mining is the most important industry
of the state. In 1902 the output OF
the cultivated land, 1,611 ,271, acres, or
II per cent were under irrigation. The
area irrigated was "a per cent of the
total area of the state.
Manufactures are assuming great
proportions in Colorado. In 1900 there
were 3,570 manufacturing establish
ments of all kinds with a capital Of
$62,825,472. They employed 24.725
wage earners and paid them s15, ,146.-
667. The cost of the materials used
was $66, 6,sS6,O16 and the value of the
production $1o2,s3o,1S7. showing net
increase in value produced by manu-
facture of $35,944,121.
In 1904 Colorado contained 1876
miles of railway, which is 2.s3 per
of the entire mileage of the United
States.
There are fourteen forest reserves
in the state, comprising most Of the
mountain and plateau country. The
total area of land thus reserved is
1926 square miles, or II per cent of
the total area.
An interesting point brought out by
Mr.. Gannett is the fact that the Hay
den survey published in 1876 topo-
graphic and geologic atlas of the state,
which in subsequent years had pow
erful influence in its development
Since the commencement of topograph-
ic work by the present geological sur
Colorado mines had a value Of s40,-
603,2S6, being exceeded only by Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Michigan and West Vir-
ginia OF all the western states and
territories, Colorado is easily first in
mineral production.
Owing to the location of the state
within the arid region, agriculture is
in large part limited by the supply
of water by irrigation. The total
number of farms in the state in 1900
was 24,700, and their total value was
$161, ,045.101. The average value per
farm was $500. The value Of all
farm products in 1900 was $33,048, ,576,
an average per farm OF $1,338. The

Consequently the case Of the estate

reIephone Newn seryice.

Several years ago an editor in a small
Illinois town conceived the notion Of
strengthening his subscription list and,
incidentally, making a little money on the
side, by running out farmers telephone
lines into the surrounding territory. Any
where from fifteen to thirty telephones
were put on one line. The farmers paid 81
a month for the service. and in addition
20 having the free use OF the line for
telephoning among themselves and to the
merchants of the town, they had even
greater boon. The editor, as an induce
men to subscribers, inaugurated a daily
telephone news service" Every night,
when he received the latest Chicago news
papers, he cut out the principal head
lines, summarized the leading news items,
and at a certain hour, in response to a
given signal all the farmers on his lines
picked up their receivers and the editor
read to them the fun news of the dav.
In this way farmers living twenty miles
from the nearest railroad or telegraph
station had the news of the world as
quickly as jewellers lin the great cities.
The idea spread, until now hundreds Of
country telephone companies are giving
their farmer subscribers daily news serv-
ice.
