Colorado Needs Farmers.

Colorado citizens are only just awak
ming to the wonderful resources within
the borders Of this divinely favored state
Until comparatively recently the in
crease in population has been drawn dy
the alluring chanc of gettiug rich in a
lump thrugh the product of the mine
Those who found the mining problem
harder than they anticipated turned to
the easier problem of agriculture and the
results have deem SO surprising that al
ready it is apparent that the agricult
ural resources are far more certain aad
permanent than the mineral. Up to the
present time the bulk of the farming has
been done by stockmen who have been
forced into the business to secure food
for their stock. The man who has sec
ured his agricultural training on the
back of a bronco is handicapped and for
this reason Colorado agricultural devel
opement has not been of the thorough
and scientific kind which brings the best
results. Men of practical agricultural
training are commencing to come IN,
however and the success this class of far
mers has met with is guarantee of what
can be done in the future Colorado
has locations for half million farmers.
Men who know how to farm with live
stock as basis for operations are certain
of success in this state. Lands can be
had at prices that make the investment
certain of remunerative returns Irriga
ted lands mean sure crops and bountiful
and profitable harvest.

What Distressed Him.

An elderly Bishop. bachelor, who
was very fastidious about his toilet,
was especially fond of his bath, and re,
quested particular care OF his tub from
the maid
Whom about to leave town one day he
gave strict orders to the housemaid
about his "bawth tub" and said that no
one was to be allowed the use of it,
Alas! the temptation grew on the girl
and she took the plunge.
The Bishop returned unexpectedly,
and finding traces of the recent stolen
bath, questioned the maid so closely
that she had to confess that she was the
cuiprit, anb was very sorry.
II hope you do not think it is sin,
Bishop" asked Mary in tears.
Eying her sternly, he said Mary your
using my tub is not a sin. but what dis
tresses me most is that you would do
anything behind my back that you
would not do before my face"

He Walked Home.

They were swapping stories about
people who were "close" or" near"- the
adjectivgs seem more expressive than
the word stinjy. The up state man had
the floor
"Did ever tell you of old Lemuel
Green who lived in my town? Old Lem
was about as economical as they make
them. By strict attention to business
and never spending cent more than he
had to, he had accumulated considerable
property and on retiring from active life
his one ambition was to keep his money
intact, adding to it of course, when occa-
sion offered. His nightly occupation
was to figure up the interest on his in
vestments, to see how much richer he
was than the day before. The first thing
he would do in the morning after his
frugal breakfast which he ate at an un
earthly hour, was to go to ths hotel, where
he was the first to get hold of the morn
ing paper left for the benefit of the pat
rons of the hostlery. 1t was the keen
est sort of enjoyment for him to know
that the reading of the sheet was attend
ed with no expense.
The crowning achievement of his ca
reer came in connection with his mar
riage.an event which took place very
late in life. He always had said that he
could not afford to get married, and the
announcement of his approaching nup-
tials set the whole community egog. 1t
was figured out that in some way he was
going to make or save money by it, but
just how we didn't know, and guess no
one knows to this day However, Lem
being what he was, there can be no doubt
that he was the monetary gamer. At
any rate, he showed. .immediatly after the
ceremony that he had entered into the
state of wedlock in no extravagant spir-
it.
The marriage took place at the parson-
age. After the words which made the
twain one had been pronounced Lem, in
the presence of the minister and the wit
nesses, turned to his wife and his hand
went down into his trousers pocket-
had it from the minister that the NOM
ent was one of tense expectancy. On
withdrawing his hand it was seen that
it contained nickel. This Scent piece
Lem presented to Mrs. Green. Here
he said,i is your car fare home. I'll walk.
And walk he did, letting thanks take the
place of the customary fee to the dominic

State Forest Reserves.

The question has often been asked Is it
the idea of the government to retain per-
petual control of the forest reserves?
Discussing this question while in Den
yer this week, Mr.. A. F. Potter who is
Mr.. Pinchot's right bower when it comes
to the grazing question, said this would
depend upon Congress
If Congress desired, it could wipe out
all the reserves any time.
Tho suggestion has been made" said
Mr.. Potter, that probably the states
would eventually organise forestry de-
partments and take over the control of
the reserves within the state The plan
is regarded with considerable favor by
the national forest officials, as a solution
of the problem. OF course it could not
be done all at once. The state might
organise and take over one reserve, say,
and demonstrate what it could do with
that, and if successful, the rest could grad
ually be turned over to the state depart
ment. The principal end aimed at is
the protection of the forests. 1t really
makes but little diffeaence how that is
accomplished.
The people of the West are in favor of
forest reserves under reasonable limits.
They are not of reserves to the exclus-
ion of settlers. however, as we prefer
men to trees. The idea that it is necess-
ary to have government assistance to
raise forests is based upon wrong pre-
misses. Record Stockman

Victor Hanson, Sec.
Hubert c. Chedsey, Pres.
The questions to be discussed at this
meeting are Of interest to every ranch
and business man in the Park. The pub
lie land and forest reserves are ques
items of vital Importance to the entire
west and are being widely discussed. 1t
is necessary that some definate plan for
their control to the best interests of the
stockmen shall be formulated. and it is
for this purpose Gov. Buchtel has called
the Public Land convention to be held
in Denver the middle Of June. The con
vention will be attended by men from
all over the west and every association
should be represented.
The question of why you are not a
member is easily decided by your becom-
ing . member Many fail to renlize. be-
cause they can see no visible pecuniary
benef, that good strong stock associa-
ton is q necessity in the Park in order
to protect the interests of each individ
ual stockgrower, and by not becoming
member you are weakening the organi-
