BUT He WASN'T
A REAL one

The old saying of Barnum that the
American people love to be hum
bugged was fully exemplified this
week when blonde young man was
kept buster than cranberry merchant
taking orders for Tom Patterson big
papers, the Denver Times and News
his customers being the ranchmen
down the Grand river,
The fellow was a plausible talker
and as an inducement promised his
prospective customers a 30. piece set of
decorated china in return for their
subscription to Patterson s twins. the
gratis with the agents compliments.
The only obligation on the part of the
farmer or more often the farmer
wife was the payment of $40, just
the amount necessary to placate Pat.
! terson for the two papers.
The bait was alluring especially
to the ladies'. and everybody bit and
tire young man had scarcely anythine

housewife had visions ana dreamed
dreams of how her friends would envy
her when they saw her table spread
| with those new dishes
Everything went well until the Tib
belts ranches were reached Even
the Tubettses bit but the old gentle
man who had played sucker before
nibbled quite while at the bait be
fore he swallowed it and then soon af
ter became suspicious. Some time
afterwards he confided his fears to his
daughter in law, Mrs. H. L. lib
belts, but not until she, too, had
purchased receipt for year $ sub
scription.
The telephone was brought into
play and Sheriff Zimmerman asked
Bert Tibbetts, who is deputy sheriff,
to follow the young fellow and arrest
him unless he could show authority
for the liberal promises he had been
making along the road.
The arrest was made just as the fel-
low was entering the Diffendarfer
ranch and as he could show no au
thority for his liberal offer of china
ware it is presumed that he purchased
at some country store the dish which
he proudly exhibited as a sample and
that the offer in that respect is a
phony proposition of his own devils
ing The fellow was placed in the
county Jail. AT his preliminary
hearing Friday afternoon he plead
guilty and was bound over to the dis
trict court.

The accompanying program of the
short course in forestry, as outlined by
the Agricultural college at Fort Col
lins beginning February Is and con-
tinuing for two weeks.
The college mas been fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Prof. H. P.
Baker who is in charge of the forest
school of the Agricultural college at
Ames, Iowa, to take entire charge of
this work. Professor Baker is a
graduate of the forestry school Of Yale
University, and sinos graduating has
been continually connected with the
bureau of forestry. His work has
peen mostly confined to the Rocky
mountain region, consequently he is
thoroughly familiar with our condi-
tions The fact that we have such a
man in charge Of the course is guar
antee that the instruction will be all
that could be desired.
In addition to Prof Baker the fol-
lowing men will take parts in the in
struction and evening lectures
DR.. B. o. Aylesworth, Prof L. g.
Carpenter. Prot G. P. Gillette. DR..
W. P. Headdon, DR.. W. R. Thomas,

Everything in connection with the
course will be free, and board and

A BATCH Of
COUNTY BUSINESS

An interesting meeting of the
county mmissioners was held this
week and the county dads have been
more than busy all week.
G. w Darrow explained that in
the case of the condemnation proceed-
ings for a road through the Cram
ranch the attorneys were in no way
TO blame for the present condition of
the case, the default being with the
ex county CLERK. Mr.. Cardnell after
wards appeared to justify his conduct.
F. D. Squier OF Rifle sought to in
terest the commissioners in the dam
age done to his ranch. He claimed
that the dyke built by the county
above the Rife bridge has changed
the channel of the river, greatly en-.
dangering his property. Mr.. Squier
said the trouble could be remedied by
work which would cost $500. The
board took no action.
j. L. Cochran, humane officer of
Rife, asked that the two Osborn chill
dren be committed to the home for
dependent children. Tney were taken
before Judge Beardsley and the com
mittment was ordered.
The board by resolution protested
against the passage of S. b No. Al by
Senator Drake and H. B. No. . by
Watson. These are bills pioviding
for state road commission
AT the request of the county sur
veyor that official was given the Office
originally set apart for the surveyor
and the district attorney was assigned
the Office on the ground floor formerly
occupied by the district attorney.
The clerk was also instructed to
notify the district attorney that no
salary would be fixed for his office for
the year 1907.
j. F. Myser was appointed county
horticultural inspector.
On complaint of Joe Cole the re-
tanning wall of the county road which
The Glenwood post., 1907-02-09

has fallen into the Mitchell & Cooper
ditch was ordered repaired.
W. E. Hughes was given permls-
sion to use the rock along the right of
way Of the county road near the No
name overflow on condition that he
will build a safe turnout at that
point.
In reply to an inquiry from Senator
Taylor as to whether the board would
prefer bridge across the Grand river
at Silt or Lacy's Siding in the case
state appropriation could be secured
the board decided in favor of silt.
There is disposition on the part
of the board to defer the appointment
of road overseers until another meet
ing although it is possible some may
be appointed at this session There
is also a hitch in the recommendation
of the Dcard for the appointment of a
water commissi oner in District No
As. l.. w. Price, +. F. Park and w.
l.. Jenkins are the principal candi
dates for this position The matter
will probably not be acted on at this
meeting.

StOckmen Favor Presidents Plan

After Mr.. Pinchot had concluded
his remarks the following resolution
was introduced by stockman who
moved Its adoption:
Be It Resovled. That the American
National Live Stock association, in
endorse and approve the pan of the
national administration to classify and
put the grazing and unoccupied pub
lie land under the control of the De-
partment of Agriculture for grazing
purposes, under some system of lease
or grazing permit, protecting the in
tel ests of all concerned and working
an injury to none; and
Be 1t Resolved by this convention.
That we respectfully request the pres
ident of the United States to appoint
committee of practical stockmen
from the states where the land is sit
uated to confer with the Department
of Agriculture and the Public Lands
commission as to the most equitable
and effective law to be passed on this
subject
Senator Ammons of Colorado was
the only person who spoke against the
resolution while many favored it in
the strongest terms. After the noon
recess the resolution was again taken
up and when vote was called for it
was unanimously adopted.

"GriRqO' VS.. hexiCdRO

A communication from Mexico City
announces the arrival of the Gavin
party and says they are having the
time of their lives eating Strawberries
and enjoying the "soft, sleepy sun
shine, not having seen cloud in the
sky since leaving Ell Paso. An i'm
mense bunch of violets sells down
there for only 10 cents and American
Beauty roses only 90 cents dozen.
They report a steadily increasing
knowledge of the Spanish language
but sometimes lack of the right
word leads to an amusing incident.
Mr.. Gavin was especially deficient in
drug terms which led to the following
experience as related.
"Morgan was sick last night with
fever his temperature was 1O3. l
went out after some aconite and walk
ed five blocks before could rouse
druggist Il a. IN. and then 1 could
not tell him what aconite was and
would not take a chance on giving
anything the Mexican wanted to give
me. | found out later that aconite
in Mexican is 'pelligrossa.' 1 tried
to explain what | wanted it for and
told him while pointing to my head,
'calieute, meaning hot or feverish.
He thought was hot about something
or in English, Mad in the face l
could tell you of 100 cases like this
that we're really paralyzing. 1t has
been a case of continual laugh since
leaving Ell Paso. Morgan is all right
again this morning. 1 guess 'pelli-
grossa' Is good for what allied him."

TRUSTEES DISCUSS
ROAD QUESTION

The town trustees held a meeting
last Monday evening but nothing OF
special Importance came up and
aside from the regular routine work
of approving reports and allowing
bills but little was done.
This being the beginning of the
license term the clerk presented ap-
plications and bonds of fourteen
saloons and vote being taken all ap-
plications were approved and the clerk
instructed to issue licenses.
Theodore Rosenberg, the town en-
gineer, made his report as to the in
vestigation of the county road south
of town. Mr.. Rosenberg made very
clear by profile and verbal explana-
tion the amount and character of the
work necessary to put the road in
good condition.
This is one of the worst pieces of
road in the county to keep in condi-
tion owing to the peculiar soil and
the unusual slope of the land, making
drainage very difficult Mr.. Rosen-
berg explained that before even passa-
BILE results could be expected thor
ough drainage through the Bolles
tract to the Roaring Fork must he se-
cured. Then the road must be raised
for considerable distance and should
be carefully crowned and then covered
with broken rock.
1t was decided to appeal to the
county comm missioners on Tuesday and
ask them to put this stretch of load
in condition. The commissioners
looked the ground over and ac
knowledged the necessity for consid-
erable work but claimed they mad no
money and could give no relief.
They finally agreed, however. to take
care of the drainage and it now seems
that the rest of the work must be
done by the town and by private do
nations if anything Is to be done at
all.

RIFLE STOCKMEN
MEET MONDAY
will Discuss Matters of Import
dRCe to Their Association
Forest Reserve Policy
TO Be Attacked
R0uSING BIG MEETING EXPECTED

The forest reserve issue is to be
taken up again, the initial move this
time to be made in Rifle. The Post
made some Inquiries concerning the
purposes of the meeting, supposing
that some of the rules and regulations
governing the reserves were proving
embarrassing to the cowmen and that
at the meeting steps would be taken
to bring these defects before the for
estry officials with the object of secur-
ing an abatement of the obnoxious
rules
But in talking with number of
cattlemen in an effort to lea1n their
grievance we hear the following
statements: We can't pay the tax.
The fee is too high. They are
charging us more than it costs to take
care Of the range, The surplus
should be used in the Improvement of
the reserves. They are trying to
drive us out of business. We are get
ting nothing in return for tine graz
ing fee -
And so the answers went, n )ne of
the stockmen with whom the editor
talked making any strong complaint
against any of the specific rules of
the department in the government of
reserves,
The Post had hoped that the objec
ton of the stockmen would be direct
ed against some rules now in force
and that we might be able to assist
the stockmen in having any unreason-
able and unjust rules abated, but if
| those with whom we have talked truly
represent the Grand River Stock as
sociation we are forced to the opinion
that the objection of the stockmen Is
general in character and is directed
against the government forestry
policy rather than against any specific
rules or regulations which the depart
ment has sought to enforce
Over year ago the Post told the
here to stay and that an attack direct
ed against the reserves themselves was
worse than useless but that much
could be done in securing a moditica
ton of the rules which were then
more Objectionable than at present.
Whether we believe in forest re-
serves or not is of little consequence.
They are here and no reader of this
article or his children will live long
enough TO see their abolishment. The
forestry policy is a fixed policy of the
government and as Mr.. Pinchot re-
Gently said at Denver if he and all his
subordinates were TO die before the
end of the year the policy of the for
estry department would be carried out
by others The plan for the future
is definitely outlined and that general
outline will be followed.
The forestry policy is growing in
favor and the forest reserves are grow
ing in number and area and will con
tinue to dc so for some time whether
we like it or not If the regulations
are burdensOme or prohi btive they
should and will be changed for the
government has made plain through
the president and Mr.. Pinchot, his
personal representative, that 1t is not
the policy of the government to work
a hardship on anyone If it is possible
to avoid it and yet carry out the chief
plan to protect the forests and the
water supply.
The stockmen from the lower coun-
and discuss the matter of their griev-
ances and will very properly take
such action as they think best.
