"BALDHtADED PIRACY"

Under the above caption the joker

day evening and this time accused the
Post of being so foolish as to crib
from the Avalanche account of the
Rife stock meeting. Tne article at
tacks this paper because we correctly
quoted Gene Grubb's speech, and
from the fact that the Avalanche re-
porter also quoted Grubb's opening
words correctly. Holmes says he
made a mistake, which is probably
true. for it is usually a mistake if the
Avalanche gets anything right.
Mr.. Grubb SAID he had favored the
government ceding the public lands
within the boundaries of Colorado to
the state, and did not say he had fav.
ored the leasing of the lands rs
Holmes wanted him to say.
After Holmes had returned and the
effect OF Rifles pure mountain water
had worn off he was anxious to have

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. lS.
Offerings of cattle were very good
here last week, total receipts being
4, 500 same as a week ago and about
the same as a year ago. Market ruled
active and good cattle closed strong
to dime higher. Eastern markets
closed dull and draggy on account of
the car situation but this fact had
very little effect on the local market.
Good corn fed steers sold to packers
at IS. 10 and pulp and hay fed stuff
went largely at "a. IS to $4.75. De-
mand strong for steers and not enough
here to meet it. Cows were plentiful
but sold well if they were good. Corn
fed COWS of good quality went largely
at 50. 40 to "A 90, pretty good pulp and
hay fed cows at So. 30 to 1915 and a
few loads of good ones up to So. 80.
Medium cows were little dull and
quotable at 81 so to S3.15 Bulls ac-
tive and finn with best selling up to
50 30 and bulk at $40 to $500
veals steady at "a so to 5000. Feed
er and stocker supply was light and
demand strong for anything good.
Buyers still prefer the heavy steers
of selected quality however, and prices
on this kind are strong to 10 cents
higher There is little improvement
in the plain and rougher grades,
either in demand or price Some
choice San Luis valley steers went to
the country at 81. 65 fiat and the bulk
of the pretty fair grades sold at "a. 90
to 81 40 with the common stuff all the
way down to So co.
| Fancy Colorado corn fed steers sCld
today at s.. so, the highest price paid
here this season outside of show stuff
Northern Colorado steers sold at 81 50
and good cows at 81 S5. The market
was active at steady prices despite
rather unfavorable adv ices from east
ern points. Buyers here are wanting
all kinds of good cattle and paying
rather better than river prices for the
stuff that suits them.

1T IS A matter of congratulatior
that the manufacturers of beet sugar
and the beet growers OF Northern Col
orado have reached point of mutual
interest which will guarantee the
same or larger acreage of beets thar
heretofore, and thus will beet grow
ing continue as one of the leading in
dustries of this great state of Colo
RADIO In commenting on this matter
Mr. C. S. Morey suggests that if the
farmers themselves were operating the
factories they would view questions
in quite different light, and in order
to bring about such condition he
suggests that his company sell one ot
its factories to the farmers in case
they want to buy. Mr.. Morey seems
to think this would prove an idea
way of convincing the beet growers
that the cause for complaint is not all
on one side.

THAT THE people Of Glenwood
are taking more interest in the pub
lie schools was evidenced by the large
crowd which attended the basket ball
game at the opera house Saturday
night. This increased interest in
school athletics will be great help
and encouragement to those in charge
of the educational interests of our
town. No school can make the pro-
gress it should without the hearty
interest of the patrons and the general
public If the parents are Indifferent
toward the schools, the pupils will
as natural result reflect that indiff-

THERE ARE OTHER WESTERN SLOPE
STOCkhEN

Several who have read the reSolu-
tions adopted at the stockmen' meet
ing at Rifle have remarked on the
broadness of scope assumed in these
resolutions, and some have remarked
that they thought more harm than
good would result from claiming to
represent the entire western slope.
To the credit of the stockmen the Post
can state that the resolutions as writ
ten by Mr.. johnson and approved by
the com mittee of stockmen appointed
by President Squiel to draft or sug
gest resolutions, was worded Re
solved, by the Grand River Stock
growers association that we earnestly
protest. etc. After this had been
read and approved by all present Mr..
H. J. Holmes entered the room and
asked that it be read which was
done, when he suggested the addition
of the words "stockmen, farmers and
citizens of the western slope, and
after some hesitation on Johnson's
part the interlineation was made. Not
satisfied with thus putting the asso-
citation in false light to this extent,
Mr.. Holmes wanted resolution
drawn calling on the governor of
Colorado to do his duty and protect
the stockmen by enforcing the laws
and to take steps to prevent these
illegal outrages on the people, etc
ETC. Mr.. johnson, with bland
smile, assured Mr.. Holmes that he
knew of no laws being violated or of
any authority vested in the governor
to change present conditi ons
Speaking of the Rifle resolution
which starts out thus: Resolved, by
the Grand River Stockgrowers asso-
citation, stockmen, farmers and citi-
zens of the western slope in mass
meeting, that we earnestly protest
etc. j. b. Killiam, president of the
Delta County Live Stock association
and claiming to speak not only for his
own but kindred associations in Delta,
Gunnison, Montrose and Mesa coun
ties, denies the right of the Rife con.
vention to speak for the western slope,
and says they are but small miner
ity and by no means represent the
stockmen of the western slope, the
majority of whom he declares favor
the forest reserve policy.
The Post does not care to comment
on the matter but will quote Mr.. Kill.
lian's own words as printed in the

right to oppose the government

CLASH OVER
FAIR DATES
State Commission Will Insist
on Delaware Day Being
October s

Unless Wilmington joins with the
Delaware State Commission on James
town Ter-Centennial in the Delaware
Day celebration at the fair on October
this city Will not have a day at the
exposition. This is about definitely
decided, and at the meeting of the
State Commission, to be held here on
Tuesday Of next week, the commission
may formally announce the impossi-
bility OF changing its date at the fair
to please the Wilmington committees.
The local committees originally
selected September Is as Wilmington
Day at the fair. Later the Delaware
Committee selected October as Della
ware Day because it was not con-
venient to the State to send the militia
to the fair earlier than October g.
subsequently the city committees
agreed on the October date for a joint
celebration by city and state. but late
" sentiment has developed in favor
VI tlo september udlei NOTWITHSTANDING
ing that Vermont Day IS to be cele-
brated on September Is.
1t is probable that the date already
selected by the State Commission win
finally be chosen for both celebrations.
Representatives of the city commit
tees met representatives Of the State
Committee here yesterday and decided
TO get out vest pocket booklet for
Delaware Day. Members Of the State
Board Of immigration and Agriculture
were present and decided to take six
teen pages in the book. The Della
ware Commissioners VIII take sixteen
for their purposes and the remaining
80 pages are offered to Wilmington for
the exclusive use Of this city.
The commission will pay for its half
Of the expense and will expect the city
TO pay for its half. New Castle wants
three or four pages in the booklet and
has appropriated $50 for this space.
Several other towns down the State
are asking the same privileges.
