A Mistake.

We wish to rectify a mistake which we
made in last weeks paper. In reporting
the death of the baby of Mr. aid Mrs l..
A. Goes it appeared in the paper as
though the accident was due to the care
lessness of the mother. This was not so
as it later appears that the nurse left in
charge of the boy for short time Thurs
day evening left a pitcher of boiling
water within reach of him while she
went toanother part of the house. He
cought it and tipped it over upon him
self scalding him so that he died Tues
day morning. We wish to make an
an apology for the mistake.

That Whereas; The high altitude of
North Park and adjacent ranges, which
varies from s. 500 feet in the valleys to
12, 500 feet on the summit of the noun
tain comprising the Medicine Bow and
Park Range Reserves makes it impract-
icable to Craze cattle upon the Reserves
foa more than approximately more than
sixty days during the season.
And Whereas:
Because of this short season,
the stOckmen do not receive the same
benefits as thoes using the reserves in
lower attitudes. Therefore, be it resolv-
ed that:
We respectfully urge the Forest Dept.
to consider the special conditions and
to set grazing fee in accordance with
the limited benefits derived from the
use of these reserves. such fee not to
exceed maximum of twenty cents per

ed to decay without ever being used
He read the following article as proof
of the fact that the forests of the coun-
try are being rapidly used:
In twenty years the timber supply
in the United States, on government re-
serves and on private holdings, at the
present rate of cutting. will be exhaust
ed, although it is possible that the
growth of that period might extend the
time another five years"
This announcement was made recent
ly by Clifford Pinchot, the government
forester, who has just returned from
six months inspection trip, ON which
he travelled 10000 miles
In sounding his warning Mr.. Pinchot
urged that the danger of the situation
should not be underestimated. He said
that the United States uses more timber
per capita than any other country, and
that every man, woman, and child
would be affected. He described the
policy of discounting the future of the
country by failure to protect the natural
resources and he advised all who have
not already done SO to read President
Roosevelts speech at Memphis on this
general subject
About one fifth Of the forest area of
country is in government reserves, but
Mr., Pinchot called attention to the fact
that as privately owned reserves are bet
ter than the government resesves, as
general rule the government does not
control one fifth of the timber supply.
The forest service will ask Congress
for more money and more men in order
to extend the service and will push the
work of reforesting the denuded timber

it is utterly beyond the possibility SO the

County Solicitor Collecting Taxes.

Davidson township has been en-
periencing difficulty somewhat un.

and the County Commissioners We're
compelled to render assistance be-
fore the problem was brought to Il
satisfactory adjustment. No one in
the township would permit the in
cumbrauce of the office of tax col
lector to be placed upon him. Final
ly Julius Sick was induced to take
the Office. After serving for "A
few months without making any
collections, he paid his fine of $50
and returned the duplicates to the
Commissioners. The County Solic-
tier T. j. Ingham, at once took the
work OF collecting in har- .nd for

1t is asserted that collectors in
Davidson township have lost con
siderable money in attempting to do
the collecting the past few years,
and for this reason no one cares to
Obligate themselves with the task of
making some collections or sending
the delinquents to Jail. AS the
Commissioners have the matter in
hand and the Solicitor is making a
vigorous stir among the taxables, il,
is generally understood now that the
payment of taxes in Davidson must
be met accordingto law.
