The Government Fails.

Washington-The national govern
ment has failed as peacemaker in
the strike of switchmen on the Colo
rado & Southern railroad, and Labor
Commissioner Charles P. Neil an
nounced that all hope had been
abandoned of bringing about a salts
factory adjustment of the diff
ferences between the railroad
company and ith striking en-
ployes. Mr.. Neill, with Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, undertook to act as me-
diator at the request of Vice President
Parker of the Colorado & Southern,
who declared that in calling the strike,
Order of Railway Trainmen, was vio-
iating the union agreement made at
Chicago last year.

Telegraph Operators Walk Out.
Chicago.-The strike of the tele-
graph operators has come. The trou-
BILE was precipitated by the Los An
geles strike which was begun some
days ago.
The local executive board of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union met
and passed resolutions requesting the
men to refuse to work with the non
union operators employed in Los An
geles. When the men were notified
of this step, all operators employed in
the overland division of the local Of
fee refused to work any longer with
the non-union men on the other end of
the wire.
When this announcement was made,
Night Chief Harry Price ordered all
who refused to work to leave the of
fee. He then went into other divis-
ions and requested the men to go into
the overland division. In every case
he was met with a refusal until over
seventy men had been sent home. The
grievance committee of the union called
on Price and notified him that unless ey-
cry man was reinstated by midnight
every union man in the Office would
be called out.
This demand was refused and
promptly at midnight by pre-arrange-
ment, whistle was blown, and every
operator employed in the main Office
with the exception of six wire and loop
chiefs, including Night Manager Price
and his two assistants. left their keys
and with round of cheers filed out
of the office.
The men employed by the company
at the various newspapers had been
notified of the contemplated strike and
they also quit work
The local officials OF the union stated
that the day force employed by the
company. most of whom belong to the
union, would refuse to go to work in
the morning. This will also include
all branch Offices throughout the city.

WINNING FIGHT AGAINST

protest followed the introduction last
night of an ordinance in the council
providing for the extension of the sa

small settlement near the Eilers smell

pledged themselves to vote against the
measure next Monday night. This
makes it certain that the ordinance will
be defeated.
The people of Laibach recently voted
to incorporate as a separate town. The
councilmen, in order to stop this move

into the city and, it is said, promised

3. The forest reserve administration
has established within our state,
local or municipal jurisdiction over our
people. Based upon authority from
congress to make proper rules and regu-
lations for the enforcement of the OBJ
iects of the reservations, department
officers are making rules and regula-
tions to which they attempt to give the
full force of law, and the effect is that
we have two systems of government,
one by the state and county and the
other by the forest reserve administra-
ton. The reserve government disre-
CARDS the state laws, assumes the right
to arrest our citizens for disregarding
their unlawful regulations and we are
taken for trial before the federal courts
instead of our state courts. AS an
laws provide that live stock drifting
example of this condition, the state
upon unfenced land does net constitute
trcspass. The forest reserve rules and
regulations threaten us with criminal
if our live stock drift upon
the unfenced reserves of the govern
mcnt. We hold that under the Consti-
tuition of the United States our state
law is supreme in local affairs.

MAY QUARANTINE
AGAINST WORLD.

Grand Junction, Nov. 25.-The News
prints the following startling story:
"The scarlet fever situation in this
city places the burden of Il grave re
sponsibility upon the shoulders of the
city council and passes up to them a
condition which none but themselves
may remedy. There is no denying the
fact that scarlet fever is spreading in
this city at rate which would not be
possible if proper quarantine regnla
tions were enforced. 1t is not a pleas
ant fact to advertise but nevertheless
it is the truth that this city is facing
a crisis in that regard and unless
prompt and effective action is taken
most serious results may ensue.
eff some means are not at once un-
dertaken to curb the spread of this ma
lignant affliction there is every reason
to believe that the state board of health
will take hand in the affair and pos
sibly quarantine this city against the
outside world. If such a step be taken
it will mean local business stagna
ton as well as a mercantile ostracism
which will hurt business conditions in
this city more than the present financial
stringency.

Grand avenue today is the scene of
much activity Crowds of farmers as
semi led at the corners are engaged in
trading, buying and selling, and Incl
dentally renewing acquaintance and
making new friends.
Happily, it is a bright and bracing
day and the storm prophesied by the
croakers did not show up.
The sale of horses this afternoon at
tracted Il big crowd of visitors. Tine
animals brought high prices. Early in
the morning farmers were in evidence
driving wagons through the streets and
disposing of their produce. One man
brought in a load of turkeys which was
snapped up in a few minutes, a mer
chant taking the whole bunch. The
special sales advertised by the mer-
chants for Market day proved a great
attraction, all the stores being well
patronizcd.
The school children this afternoon
are abroad in masque costumes, many
of which are remarkable for the inge-
unity displayed by their owners. The
Youngsters as well as their elders are
having a heap of fun.

ties as brakeman on the Rio Grande
railroad. took place this afternoon at
the Methodist church.
The pail bearers were selected from
Mr.. Tomasson s railroad friends and
associates-mcn who had known and
honored him in life. Numerous floral

service, which was solemn and impress
sive. quartette composed of Mrs.
Mayes, Mrs. Fitterer, Mr.. Jones and

Mining Interests.

4. The mining interests of this sec
ton are important and large. The for
est reserves take in many thousands of
acres of valuable mineral lands, includ-
ing vast areas that are above timber
line, where no tree has ever grown and
not be made to grow, even by forest
experts. The forest reserve admins
tration, acting under authority of rules
and regulations alone, assumes to pre-
vent the issuance of patent to mining
claims unless forest ranger has first
made an examination and passed upon
the validity of the claim. The forest
officers assume other jurisdiction over
mining operations and are seriously in
terfering with the development of our
mineral wealth.
5. Because of the rapid fall of our
mountain streams they develop valua-
bic water power. Lately local enter
prise has attempted to take advantage
of this natural condition to utilize this
power for developing electricity for
use by our citizens. They have been
confronted with demand from the
forest reserve administration for pay
for the use of this water in amounts so
large as to practically put stop to
the proposed development. The waters
of the state have always belonged to
the people of the state, and we deny
the right of the government to inter
fere with their legitimate use.
6. The fundamental policy of the
forest reserve administration is to make
the forest reserves return every cent
of profit possible. The vast areas of
public land that have been withdrawn
from settlement and placed in these
reserves, are being exploited for reve-
nue. only and the citizens of these coun-
ties are being made to pay this burden
some tax for which they get no return
and which is collected by authority of
rules and regulations made by depart
ment officials and without any authority
of law. Asa sort of conscience fund

SUDDEN DEATH OF
o. L. ANDERSON,


In his room in the apartments above
Barnes drug store at Eighth and Grand
o. l.. Anderson, an insurance man well
known all over the western slope, ex-
pircd suddenly some time early this
morning.
When he retired about l o'clock this
morning Anderson was apparently in
good physical condition. A year ago
he suffered a severe accident in Aspen
He fell in front of the opera house
there and sustained a fracture of the
hip. The injury never healed complete
ly. For some time Anderson drew $50
per week indemnity from an accident
insurance company, and finally settled
for $500 cash. He spent most of this
in settling up bills he contracted during
his illness. 1t is supposed that his
death was due to heart trouble.
A man who wanted Anderson to write
insurance for him in the New York
Life called at the rooming house this
morning about 10 CLOCK Receiving
no answer to his knock he opened the
door and found Anderson lying be-
tween the covers stone dead

about So years of age, pleasant of dis
position and entertaining. He made
many friends here. No arrangements
have yet been made for the funeral.

THEIR POSITION
CLEARLY STATED
From Saturdays Daily Post.

|
| OF interest to every stockman and
| farmer in Colorado are the resolutions
passed by the Farmers club of Pitkin,
Eagle and Garfield counties at its ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. There is
much food for thought in these resolu-
tions and they should be read carefully
by every man who is in any way affect
ed by the present administration of the
forest reserve. They follow:
The farmers and stockmen of the
counties of Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, Rio
Blanco and Routt, in Colorado do here
by declare our position in regard to the
forest reserves located within these
counties. We deny that we are opposed
to the establishment and maintenance
of legitimate forest reserves, but we
are opposed to the indscriminate with
drawal of public lands under the guise
of forest reserves and we are opposed
to the policy of the forest reserve ad-
ministration for the following reasons:
l. The forests in the rough noun
tain country of this section have been
valuable to the inhabitants as a source
of supply of rough lumber suitable for
the necessities of mining and ranch
ing. AS a source of supply for lumber
of commerce they are of comparatively
small value. The only reason for the
establishment of reserves in this sec
ton, therefore, was for the protection
of the headwaters of our streams and
by conserving SHOWS and moisture to
regulate the flow. This was the reason
originally given for the establishment
of the reeerves, but apparently this
reason has been forgotten in the desper-
ate effort to make the forests to pro-
duce revenue, and now the reason given
for the maintenance of the reserves is
an expressed fear that future genera
In order that future generations may
be supplied the present generation is
to be made to suffer. Under this policy
all trees in the forests of this section
large enough 10 mike lulnDtr are DelhS
cut down, and our watershed thus de
nuded. Instead of protecting our
streams, we maintain that the policy of
the government reserve is accomplish
ing the result it was expected to pre-
vent. Our native supply of timber is
being sold and cut and shipped out and
we are already compelled to ship in
lumber for our local needs at greatly
advanced prices.
Treeless Reserves.
3. While we favor the proper con
servation and reservation of forests and
actual forest lands. thousands of acres
of land in these counties that never
grew a tree, and because of natural con
ditions will not grow trees, have been
withdrawn from settlement and devel-
opment. Because of this policy we are
hindered in settling and developing
our counties.
