w. H. Caywood, the premier grey
wolf hunter of Northwestern Colorado,
came in Saturday with fresh load
of hides, among which we're the
hides of one entire wolf family-the
daddy, nanny and bunch of young
sters. In several years experience as
wolf hunter. this daddy wolf was
the largest Mr.. Caywood had ever
caught. Several people examined the
hide, to which the head was attached
and all agreed that in life the var
mint had undoubtedly been the
king of the wolves MI. j. j. DON
nelly bought the hide and will have
it mounted whole. -Meeker Herald.
The papers of the large cities are all
right if you want them, but it is
your own home paper that advertises
your churches. your numerous socie
ties, sympathizes in your affliction and
rejoices with you in your prosperity
In short it is the local paper that
mentions the thousand and one items
in which you are interested during the
year. and do not find in papers of
large cities. Lake City Phonograph.
And we might add that in every
community there are to be found peo,
pie who go on borrowing the home
paper from their neighbors week in
and week out not because they cannot
afford to pay the small subscription
price, but simply because they be-
grudgc the money and aren't willing
to encourage the local publishers in
their constant efforts to boost for the
home town and county. -Basalt Jour

There is whole lot of saneness and
wholesome good sense in everything
which Gene Grubb of Garfield under
member of the board of trustees of the
State Agricultural college. He wants
to see that institution a success and he
also wants TO lop off the fat snap of
the land grabbers, who have been
pul chasing the lands of the state set
apart for the aid of the college for the
mere pittance of from $2 to a per
acre To head this off he proposes to
laese the land of the state. starting off
with 1G 600 acres as an experiment,
and if that works we'll he will try
the 40 900 on the leasing plan. The
revenue from that will assist in ma.
terially maintaining the school, with
out being compelled to ask the state
every year for something to help out.
Grubb is an extraordinary cuss and
one who serves the state freely and
well without much pay simply be-
cause be is patriotic and don't need
the pay. There should be more Gene
Grubbs in the state. Grand Junction
