WORKING THEIR GRAFT
How tho Fosest Reserve AAminb-
trAtion Psososcs to eHpsoit tAe
Water in Colosa6o

Record Sioskman
The people of the western slope
in Colorado are Just being given an
other beautiful illustration Of forest
reserve methods. There has re-
Gently been organized at Glenwood
Springs a company known ss the
Centennial State Power Company
This company proposes 10 utilize
some Of the water in Frying Pan
creek, now going TO waste, for the
purpose of manufacturing electricity
for the use of the people in that SEC
ton. AZ the pipe line conveying
the water 10 the plant is located on
Holy Cross forest reserve, permis-
sion had TO be obtained from the
forestry bureau. A contract has
Just been received by the company
which provides that the company
must pay S5 a mile rent annually
in advance and ten cents per thou
sand kilowatts. This would amount
to about SG5,OOO per year. IL the
plant is built under such contract,
it would mean that the people who
would use the power from this plant
would pay the government charges
in addition to the charges of the
company for service.
Never before in Colorado has any
attempt been made to charge for the
use of water from any stream for
power purposes. The water in the
FRYING Pan has been there since
Colorado became state and thus
far it cannot be proved that the for
est service created one drop. Colo
RADIO people have favored forest
reserves because they would be Of
value in conserving and regulating
the flow Of the streams. The bene-
fit is as much or more to the people
of other states as to Colorado, but
Colorado is to be made to not only
pay the expense but be deprived of
it's constitutional rights to the
waters of the streams in the state.
The chances are that the proposed
contract will not be signed and that
the lower plant will not be built
until the rights of this state to the
use of its own water is fully deter
mined and congress orders Mr..
Pinchot to keep his hands off what
does not belong to the general gov
eminent, but to the state of Colo
RADIO.

Denver Markets

Denver CnioG Stock wards, Dec lG-
Cattle prices advanced 10 to ljc on
Monday Of laet week, but later runs
and lower prices in eastern markets
had a disasterous effect on prices
here and all the early advance was
lost. Good beef steers and cows
closed the week dime lower than
a week ago, but the palmer grades
are of ten TO twenty cents and in
some cases even more Right good
feeders are ABOUT steady Tut there is
y wide range between the good ones
and the plain light steers. he latter
being about 10 to % cents lower
Some good fat steers sold at SAB
to &4.5O for Christmas trade, but
not many got above $500, bulk
selling from this down to $3.50. A
bunch Of fancy cows brought S4oo,
the highest price paid here in many
weeks, with good heifers at $3.50
and choice feed lot cows at $3.50
and S3G5. Most of the good cows
sold at e275 to 1886. bulk Of fair
TO good feeding steers bringing
e325 to s3.15.
la connection with this letter
believe il will not be amiss to call
attention OF the stockmen To the
Western Stock Show, to be held
hero January Goth to 25th. Not
only will this show afford an excel
lent opportunity OF winning some
handsome prizes but large dele
cation Of buyers will be here from
eastern points to purchase both fat
and feeding cattle, thus afford 'ng a
good market for cattle of all kinds
at this time. The show this year
will be better and larger than ever.

A New Feed
Field and Farm.

Field and Farm.
The grinding Of alfalfa into meal
is gradually forcing itself upon the
economics of the feeding business in
northern Colorado and it seems quite
probable that the flight of time
will see an entire evolution in our
fattening operations as developed by
this process of conserving all the la
tent elements in the great legume
Mills have been going up all over
the country and the demand for the
product has grown to such proper
tions that lazy capital has begun TO
finally sit up and open its eyes and
is Jumping into the breach so that
in course Of time we expect to sec
grinding machinery set up in every
little burg throughout the length
and breadth Of alfalfa land
Whenever the manufacturers tum-
bic to this great fact they will begin
making small mills so that each far
mer who hasa small patch can put
in his own grinding machinery.
