saved his entire crop, while the fruit
growers in his neighborhood lost all
the fruit which had not been picked.
In explaining how he saved his crop,
Mr.. Todd said:
81 had three men at work picking
apples on the day before the storm
came. That night eighteen inches of
snow fell and the next morning was
freezing.
'ln the Chieftain read the weather
forecast, which said we were to have
continued cold and freezing. 1t would
have required one hundred men to
pick the apples off the trees that
day. and | decided to run no chances
with the weather. | instructed my
men to shake all the apples off the
trees into the snow, and they were al
lowed to remain there until the snow
melted. The snow acted as a good
cushion for the falling apples. They
sank deep enough to be entirely COW
cred and the snow further acted as
protection against the increased cold.
when the snow had melted |
found my apples in first class condi.
ton, absolutely without bruise and
ready to be placed in the boxes. AS
they say in Missouri, 1t was sight
on the earth to see the apples on
the ground after the snow had disap-
peared. They came out as bright and
fresh as new coin.'

FOREST RESERVE MATTERS.

From the San Juan Prospector.
The question of vested rights is as
old as society itself. State sover-
eighty shook the very foundations OF
this repulbic. One of the most diff.
cult problems in any country is to ap-
portion the wealth fairly to all, so
that each may have his own accord.
ing to the rules of society, which are
embodied in laws. There is a con-
slant struggle against these laws for
the acquisition OF property. More
trouble and violation of the land laws
occurred in the United States than
elsewhere from the fact, first, that
there has been more land to handle,
and second, that it belongs to the
people who wish to occupy it for
homes.
The American Indians claimed
vested rights in good hunting grounds
without descriptive titles, and settled
their disputes by killing their oppon-
ents. The government of the United
States acquired the land in pretty
much the same way, except in a few
rare instances.
The first settlers in any country
having acquired legal right to their
holdings, very naturally claim every
thing they can. The first settlers OF
southwestern Colorado were search
ing for mineral and many were the
struggles for holdings. Next came
the struggle for agricultural lands and
with it the great struggle for water;
and while this was going on. the free
grazing lands, unfit for cultivation
have been struggled for, costing large
ly in life and property,
1t was a struggle for existence In
which might was considered right
and as no vested rights existed. al
| appeal to the courts could not be
had. and the rifle and six-shooter were
all powerful.
The government has taken hold o.
| these matters upon plan by which
police regulation may be had, and tbs

ficient to pay for the police service.

THE CLIFF DWELLINGS MUST BE
PROTECTED.

The proposition to remove some
cliff dwellings from their original 10
cation and to reconstruct them in a
canon near Manitou, where they will
serve as an additional tourist attrac-
tion and incidentally bring a rich re-
turn to enterprising promoters, has
aroused storm of unfavorable com
ment and protest.

True this is a commercial age, and
no doubt excellent business reasons
can be brought forward why these
priceless relics of prehistoric past
should be made TO serve the mercen-
airy ends of the amusement promoter

best relies OF these abandoned habi-
tations to private collections in this

wanton damage has been done TO the
buildings and to other relics of a for
gotten race.
The government OF the United
States in setting aside the Mesa

pressed itself in unmistakable terms
upon the subject, and the state ol
