An Honored Pioneer.

A recent issue of one of the Denver
papers contains page of portraits of
members of the First Colorado legis-
lature, among which we notice the
picture Of Hon. j. NJ. limerick,
father of the limerick boys of Bu-
ford. Mr.. limerick represented Ell
Paso and Douglas counties in the
last Territorial and first state legis-
| latures of the Centennial State. In

was 4 wealthy ranch and cattleman,
and one of the most prominent and
respected citizens of Douglas county.
He sold his interests in that county
and invested in Salt Lake City in II

holdings; but in those days the Nor
mons made it their business-by foul
means, if necessary ry-to down all
Gentiles who endeavored to get II
foothold in their capital city, and
Mr.. limerick soon fell victim to
their well-known trickery, and lost
the bulk of his fortune.
Over fifteen years ago, Mr.. MIN

and has since resided with his sons
at their fine ranch on north branch
of White river.
| Now in his eighty-tifth year, in
good health and still in the full en-

Cattle Losses Heavy in the North.

y recent dispatch from Calgary,
CANADA, says that never before in the
history of the Northwest Territories,
has the snowfalls been so heavy or
the weather so cold as during the
winter just drawing Ia close, and all
classes of occupation suffered to an
alarming degree.
The billiards and snow storms
were so furious that railway traffic
was often tied up for weeks at "A
time.
The losses to cattlemen and ranch
ers Will be enormous. thousands of
cattle having succumbed from star
walton or exposure. The full extent
of the losses will not be known until
the snow has disappeared in the
spring.
Reports from Montana, the Dako-
tas and parts of Wyoming also shows
heavy losses ns Il result of a severe
winter.
Colorado cattlemen have been fav-
ored with IL mild winter and will
profit by the misfortunes of the
northern stockmen. whose heavy loss
will tend to still further enhance
prices.

The Grazing Question.

| The ranch and cattlemen of Will
Jams Fork are in line on the forest
reserve grazing and public domain
questions. At II meeting on the Fork
last week, the Craig Courier reports
as follows:
Saturday the stockmen of Will
Jams Fork met.nt the Tom Dunstan
ranch. After considerable discussion,
in which it was found the spirit of
ranchmen was practically unanimous
in opposition to the existing condi-
tions of ranging cattle on the White
were adopted opposing any change in
the land laws, and the persous pres
ent also pledged themselves to no
longer dig up the special tax that has
been imposed upon them for ranging
stock on the reserve. This was done
in conformity with the actions of
cattlemen in other parts of the state
with the intention of rendering such
financial aid as may be necessary to
carry through test case to decide
whether the government has any
legal right to levy this tax without
an act of congress-
Not only the West, but Congress
itself has at last become awakened to
the strangling of western develop
ment which has been contemplated
by the maudlin enthusiasts in charge
of the forestry department and the
ignorance of actual conditions
Gunnisou News s-Champion.
Last Saturday The Medicine Bow
Forest Reserve Cattle Growers as
sociation at Laramie, Wyoming pass
ed IL resolution indorsing the admin

public domain, outlined by Senator
Warren, that administration of lands
shall be placed in hands of local men
familiar with the conditions; that fees
shall be nominal and receipts return

that preference shall be given to
small stockmen and farmers to lease
