Great Deer Slaughter.

Up to the present date the county
clerk has issued about $50 hunting
licenses for the present year. The
total number issued for the year
1906 was an even 800. During the
past thirty days, while the deer
hunting season was on. total of
1893 licenses were issued, and nearly
every hunter succeeded in laying
low at least one representative of
the antlered tribe. 1t has been es-
timated that over 1000 deer were
killed in Colorado during the season
which opened October lst and closed
October Goth. The result will pro-
badly be that the deer species will
be very scarce article next season.

his movements in the summer of
1904, when he claims to have been
employed by Western Federation
leaders to kill Governor Peabody.
He first went to Canon City, but un-
successful in carrying out his de-
sign and becoming satisfied that he
was suspected he came down to
Rocky Ford in company with an in
surance solicitor named Vaughn.
He worked in that vicinity for day
or two and was then employed by
another man to solicit hail insur-

Also a Menace to New ENGLAND.

Reading an article in The PhnniX on
the government investigation OF aban-
doned farms in the state OF New York,
which called the attention to tae fact
that one hundred and seventy millions
was lost to taxation Tor do they stlll tax
them for the full amounU. may well set
the thinking farmer to reason how this
all came about.
II true investigation could be made
throughout the New England states by
disinterested parties who are not poll
ticians, the figures would startle the
community. Land values have fallen
when one wishes to dispose Of his prop
erty but many farmers are content to
live on their farms for a bare living. as
IL Is all the home they have and farming
Is all the business they know about, and
are taxed on the grand list the same year
after year. but when they are called upon
to pay the debt of nature" and the
children do not care for the old farm the
estate is settled and n true value is
fixed, and the neighbors say that went
very cheap" when, in reality. consider
ing the rate OF interest and taxes COM
pared with the earning power Of the
farm. it was a good price
Now l am not a pessimist: have titled
the soil for many years, and l feel as
though something must be done TO create
better land values. I suppose all Sc
curities are based on real estate, and
when that is at an unstable value, in
vestments are none too safe. l do not
propose to offer any suggestions for the
solution Of the problem. ! do not think
legislation would assist the farmer. for
he is now legislated almost out OF ex-
istence, and a few more laws for his
benefit will completely eliminate him.
and reduce his value to y.
one Of the things for the farmer to do
is to find out how much he is worth
and what Is the actual forced value Of
his farm. and then n basis can readily
be formed to levy taxes on.
That the rural population is rapidly
growing less is evident. Gov. Floyd, In
his recent address to the farmers, states
that they constitute less than twenty
one per cent OF the population OF New
Hampshire I hope some thinking man
will devise something so the farmers OF
New England may be prosperous and the
Young men be tempted TO remain on the
"uld sod
