BY GOVERNMENT.

Washington, November 17.--Secre-
tary Cortelyou tonight made the inn
portant announcement that as

, cial situation, the treasury would is

$100,000,000 certificates of indebted
ness, or SC much thereof as may be
necessary. The certificates will run
for one year, and will bear per
cent interest.
The secretary's action III coming to
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval, and the plan Is the
outcome of the several white house
conferences which have been held
within the past few days, when the
financial situation was under consid-
Grafton.
Roosevelt Approves Plan,
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou,
approving the treasury plans, Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt states that he has
been assured that the leaders in con-
gress have under consideration crr-
rency measure (which will meet in
permanent fashion the needs of the
situation, and which / believe will be
passed at an early date after con-
gress convenes two weeks hence.
The President s letter to Secretary
Cortelyou, under date of November
IL, follows:
"The White House, Washington,
D. c., November IL, 1907.-My Dear
Mr.. Cortelyou: / have considered
your proposal. I approve the issue

as the basis for additional currency.
I also approve the issue Of $100,000,-
600, or so much as you may find nee
essary of $50 3 per cent interest
bearing government notes, the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of which can be at

assured the leaders cf congress are
considering currency bill which will
meet in permanent fashion the needs
Of The situation, and which I believe
will be pessed at an early date after
congress convenes, two weeks henSe.
Business Conditions Sound.
''What is most needed just as pres
ent, is that our citizens should real
ize how fundamentally sound busi-'
ness conditions in this country are,
and how absurd it is to permit them
selves to get into panic and create
stringency by boarding their savings
instead Of trusting perfectly sound
banks. There is no particle of risk
involved in letting business take its
natural course, and tn people can
help themselves and the untry most

Death of a Pioneer

Mrs. James Leggett, wife of the
town marshal of Carbondale, died Fri
day of last week at sanitarium in
Denver where she has been since last
fall. Mrs. Leggett suffered par
alytic stroke last September as a re-
suit of which she lost hel reason. She
was placed in Denver sanitarium
and all was done for her that medical
skill and good care could suggest and
yet she did not improve. About two
weeks ago during the absence for a
short time of her nurse she fell from
II two story window to the ground be-
low where she was afterwards found
in an unconscious condition.
From this exposure she contracted
pneumonia which was the immediate
cause of her death.
Mrs. Leggett was 45 years of age
and lived near Carbondale for many
years and had many friends in Car
bondale and Redstone who greatly re-
gret her death. The funeral took
place last Sunday, interment being in
Fairmount cemetery.

THE DISTRICT FAIR
GOES TO ASPEN
heeting Last Saturday of Farmers
Club so DeCfeeS---EIeCtIOR
of Officers

The Farmers club of Pitkin, Eagle
and Garfield counties held its annual
meeting at the court house last Satur
day, elected officers and arranged for
the next district fair.
The members were slow in gather
ing but when it was thought there
We're enough for quorum, the meet
ing was called to order by G. b. Sew.
ell.
The question of district fair was
quite thoroughly discussed. Secretary
Daley of the Aspen club under the
auspices of which last years fair was
conducted was present and reported
all bills paid and balance on han6
in the treasury. This is such an un
usual feat that when it came to Sc
lecting location for the next fair
Aspen won it hands down.
Mr.. Holmes suggested that if the
Aspenltes had cash balance it should
be turned over to the Farmers club to
liquidate past shortages under the
iioihCs IVSiinS, bul "lIhtu
the other eye and said May, nay.
Pauline. 1t was then shown that
last year when the Aspen people were
given the fair after others had made
failure of it, Aspen guaranteed to
take care of all expense and deliver
the organization in just the same con
dition in which it was turned over to
them.
This they have done and because of
this it was agreed that they were en-
titled to any funds on hand for the
conduct of another fair if needed.
Election of officers resulted as fol
lows: d. G. Edgerton of Carhondale,
president; Fred Light of Snowmass,
vice president; G d. Fuller, secre-
tary q. H. Bell, treasurer; and H.
G.. Koch of Aspen, j L. Chatfeld OF
Gypsum and John Tenbrook of Glen
wood the board Of directors.

Recommended for Entry

About three months ago Walter J.
Morrill,, forest assistant was sent to
Glenwood to make investigations of
several tracts of land within the Holy
Cross and White River forest reserves
which parties wished to file on under
act of June II, 1906, claiming the
land was agricultural in character
and not needed by the forestry depart
ment for administrativ or forestry
purposes.
Some of the parties had lived on
these lands for many years constantly
hoping that some time they might be
able to file on and secure title to the
same but had never been able to do so
since the land in most cases was un-
surveyed and therefore not subject to
entry under any government land
laws.
In most instances Mr.. Morrill, rec

Entire Ticket Elected

Election in Glenwood last Tuesday
passed off very quietly as elections al
ways do when there is no opposition.
No one seemed to take any interest
in the matter or to care whether there
was large or small vote.
The judges and clerks read novels
and newspapers and played pranks on
each other and at times sighed aud
chafed under the tedious restraint. as
they all said it would be much easier
to work hard all day than to remain
at the post of duty with nothing to
do.
Some idea of the lightness of the
vote may be gained when it is known
that ont of over 800 registered but
Id voted. The total vote was as fol

Purchased q Fine Horse

w. S. Copeland recently made a
trip to the East to purchase for the
Roaring Fork Breeders ASSOCIATION a
Percheron stallion to replace the com
pany's horse Boston, who died some
time ago. In speaking of the new
purchase Mr.. Copeland through his
paper. the Aspen Times, has this to
say:
1T is not expected that the writer
will have anything much to say at
this time as to Boston s" successor
the fact that he bought him speaks
for his opinion. The task of selecting
horse to compare with Boston
was not at all easy, as Boston" was
acknowledged as one of the best in
the country-however the fine young
registered imported Percheron stall
lion Edge" 41s0s (62593) will arrive
in day or two and then the horse
critics may say which is the finer
specimen of the Percheron type.
Edge is jet black, stands close
to ny hands, weighs close to 1,7OO
and will not be three years OLD until
April 4th, Thursday. He was select,
ed as future prize winner and should
make horse weighing between 1000
and 3, 100 inside Of two years.

New District Clerk

Charles H. King, who for the past
two years has served so creditably as
superintendent of the Glenwood
schools. was on last Tuesday officially
notified by Judge Shumate of his ap-
pointment as clerk of the district
court. Mr.. King will not enter upon
his new duties at once but will EN-
ploy deputy to attend to the work
in the office while he completes his
contract with the school This ar
rangement was made at the suggest
ion of Judge Shumate and is very sat
isfactory to Mr.. King.
Mr.. King is altogether worthy of
this important position and his many
friends will rejoice at his good for
tune. The Office, it is said, will pay
mole than Mr.. Kings present position
and will be more to his liking.

Score One for the Grizzlies

There was enc straight Grizzly
ticket voted in the East Glenwood
precinct last Tuesday and we relate
how it happened just to illustrate the
force of absent mindedness, or rather,
the power of suggestion. W. H.
Richardson, electrician for the Glen
wood Light and Water company and
against whose company ths Grizzly
fight was waged last year came up to
the polls and because there was only
one ticket some one said to him in q
jocular vein, MIR Richardson, sup.
pose you will vote the straight Griz-
zig ticket He cast his ballot and
started down the street and after the
others had forgotten the remark he
returned and stated that acting on the
suggestion of that remark he had in q
moment of abstraction written the
word "Grizzly' at the head OF his
ticket and deposited it without think
ing what he was doing. He was Civ
en- a hearty laugh by all present who
felt that it would not have been quite
so humorous had anyone but an en-
ploye of the company cast ballot for
ticket not in the field and which
had there been such ticket would
have been in opposition to his inter.
ests. Mr.. Richardson enjoyed the
joke as we'll as the others and Joined
in the laugh at his own expense.

day and Tuesday, but aside from the
allowance of bills but little was done
Several of the ranchmen from near
Silt appeared to protest against the
recent action Of the board in cutting
the pay of the ferryman at that point
from $50 per month to S25, thereby
putting the ferry boat ont of commits
sion. These people claim there is
great need of tho ferry and that to do
away with it Is a serious hardship to
the fal mers. The board reconsdered
its former action and decided 20 pay
$50 to a ferryman until the period OF
high water.

the county poor farm was accepted
Mr.. Hayes is to pay S75 per year for
the use of the farm and is to receive

was not needed for forestry or admin

The parties interested have already
been notified of this decision and the
land office will soon be instructed to
receive filings on this land, the par
ties who have lived on the lands and
made improvements thereon being
given the preference in the matter of
filing.
This does not look as though the
forestry system was interfering very
seriously with the poor man and
would be homesteader as has been fre-
quently stated as the majority of the
people making application for this
land could not have acquired it in
any other way even though it had not
been included in the reserve, at least
until 1t had been surveyed, and those
who have been waiting for many

UNCLE SAN TO THE
FARMERS RESCUE
Prospects for Government Irrigd.
ton Of Garfield County Land
Looks Promising

1t is now probable that the work of
irrigating the immense tract of land
along Cattle creek and in the Spring
Valley country may be taken up by
the government and if so we may look
to this as one of the most productive
sections of Garfield county.
For several years the plan OF water
ing this splendid area has been under
consideration by the farmers in that
vicinity but on account of the great
cost no definite steps have been taken
j n the matter. About the first of the
year some of the parties interested
consulted Congressman Cook on the
question hoping that he might be able
to have the government take up the
work through its reclamation bureau.
General Cook suggested, however,
that the government be approached
through memorial flom the state
Legislature and accordingly Represen-
tative Napier introduced H. J. M
No 3 requesting the government,
through it's reclamation service, to
take up the matter of the irrigation
of this land.
This memorial was passed and
Congressman Cook will now take the
matter up with the proper govern
ment officials and hopes to secure an
official investigation of the land and
the sources of water supply and if the
scheme is pronounced feasible, no
doubt the work of irrigating this land
will be done by the government.
1t has been estimated that 90, 600 to
25, 900 acres of choice mesa land can
be irrigated by means of system of
reservoirs to be built in Eagle and
Garfield counties, the principal reser
voir to be in Spling park on the site
Of the Hotz and Mclean ranches.
Several other reservoirs will probably
be built but this will be the largest
and it is natural and easy reservoir
site.
A hasty preliminary survey was
made some years ago with a view to
carrying the water from the Frying
Pan but it is now known that the
dow Of Cattle creek is sufficient for all
needs, and if the work is ever under
iaken it will probably be with view
# using Cattle creek only.
The lands to be irrigated from this
project extend from three and one
lalf to 10 miles from Glenwood and
he soil is of a rich mesa character
which will produce most abundantly
I'll kinds of crops, and the land is es-
pecially adapted to the culture of
'ugar beets, alfalfa and potatoes.
The Post will aid in every way pos
,ibe the consummation of this project,
which if carried out will mean much
to Garfield county as it will bring
numerous additional settlers and
very heavy Increase in the farm pro,
ducts of the county.
