Immediate attention"
The situation at Shoshune falls is
especially interesting. The plant of
IL, 900 horse power is for temporary
use only. The company at this point
is harnesslng the waters of the Grand
river and diyerting them from point
above Shoshone falls through the
mountains. The tunnel of 8, 900 feet
whicn is now being constructed will
eventually be extended ten miles to
point below Glenwood, where Liant
of 45, 600 horse power-the largest of
the system-will be built. The
building of this tunnel alone will en-
tail an expenditure of 81. 500, 900. 1t
will require flom three and Il half to
four years to complete the project
The temporary power plant will be in
operation next spring, however, in
connection with the Boulder and Gore
canon plants.
AZ stated several months ago, the
electrifcation of the Denver & Rio
Grande, the Colorado & Southern and
Moffat and Cripple Creek roads is
planned in connection with the Gore
canon and Shoshone falls scheme.
Already there have been negotiations
to this end, and, while the power
company is maintaining a discreet
silence about those plans, it is known
that President Jetfery and other big
men of the Easl are giving the matter
serious consideration, and that event
ually the railroads of the state will be
using electricity for their motive
power. The electrifying of system
like the Denver x Rio Grande would
cost in the neighhorhood of $40 000,
900, and it would require possibly
five years to put the entire system on
basis of electrical operations.
The relations of the Motfat interests
with the Central Colorado Power COM
pany are close and the Motfat road
may he principal factor in the plans
of the company.

Coming as it does close upon the
heels of the decisions of Judge Beatty

A Sad Goodbye

The young man of the road referred
to in another column who made an
Investigation the first of the week Of
Sheriff Zimmerman ice box, was
hailed before Justice Hedden Thursday
afternoon on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The fellow, who
gave his name as Andy Rhinehart,
and said he hailed from "every-
where, plead guilty to the charge,
and then came Judge Hedden s turn
and what he did to this specimen Of
the genus hobo was aplenty. He
fined the fellow 800 and costs and
sentenced him to the county jail for
sixty days and also confscated the
ugly weapon which the sheriff was
oredred to sell as partial reimburse
ment to the county for costs. After
this had all been done the judge, as
though he partially relented, offered
to suspend sentence if the prisoner
would, within 10 minutes, shake the
dust of Glenwoed from his sandals and
delay his return to this beautiful re-
sort for at least three years. Weary
said it was dreadful punishment,
but after some deliberation he agreed
to the terms, picked up his tomato
can and resumed his journey.

Interesting Lecture on Holy Land

delivered Saturday evening at the
Presbyterian church by Rev. Sylvanus
Haupelt of Aspen, in addition to be-

in search of knowledge of that far
away country.
There are numerous illustrated lee
lures on foreign lands, many of them
by persons who have rushed across
those eastern countries and then on
returning to New York have purchased
stock lantern slides of some places
they have seen and many they have
not and started on a lecture tour.

the brave all are willing to admit
that the Holy Land may furnish in

but it seems that no one could desire
to prolong his journey beyond the
time absolutely required after gazing
on the pictures of bleakness and DESC
lation and listening to Mr.. Haupert's
description of the awful barrenness of
the old country,
Mr.. Haupert says the entire Holy
Land is one of the best arrangements
possible of those who oppose forest re-
serves. That country, once green and
fertile, now a desolate waste because
of the destruction of the timber areas
and the consequent washing away of
the soil and drying mp of the water
ways makes one marvel at the opposi-
ton in some sections to forest reserves

John Bauman of Aspen handled the
lantern in faultless fashion. The re-
ceipts were quite satisfactory and

Partial TO Our SpudS

E. H. Grubb, who has recently re-
turned from trip to California,
called up the Post one day this week
and gave us some information which
may furnish encouragement to the
farmers of western Colorado.
Mr. Grubb asked E j. Edwar rds,
formerly of Glenwood and Aspen, but
now Santa Fe agent at Los Angeles.
to look up the prospects for a potato
crop in California Mr.. Edwards says
the acreage planted in California is
less than usual and that much of this
has been destroyed by the recent floods
in the southern part of the state and
will not be replanted.
Mr. Grubb says the people of Cali
fornia are partial to our potatoes
whic they claim are superior to any
chase elsewhere and he says it is pref
ty generally admitted now that Cali
fornia will be obliged to depend upon
Colorado for her supply of tubers.
Mr.. Grubh sees in this bright flu
ture for the potato growers of the
Roaring Fork Valley and other sec.
tions of western Colorado where
choice potatoes are grown, for the
shortage in California and several of
the eastern states will almost insure
splendid price for the Colorado

Must keep Stock Off Reserves

In a case just decided by the Hon.
William E. Hunt, judge of the
United States district court of Mon
tana, owners of live stock are held
responsible if they suffer their stock
to drift upon the national forests 1t
was declared that the national forests
need not be fenced to exclude stock,
no matter what the state law is, and
that therefore it is illegal not only to
drive stock upon the forests but even
to permit them to drift there, unless
the owner possesses a permit
The result of this case will cause
much comment in all the cattle states
which have fence laws like Montana,
where the law provides that owners
of stock may allow their cattle to feed
upon the open public domain and that
an owner of lands not fenced is with
out remedy for the damage done by
animals so ranging. For it means
that grazers near the national forest
will be obliged either to take out per
mits fol themselves or to keep their cat
, tie off the forests. Hitherto it has
been n belief that all the govern.
ment would do in cases where cattle
drifted upon the national forests was
to cause them to be driven off.
The decision is based upon Article
a, section B of the constitution, Civ
ing the United States exclusive power
to dispose uf the public lands and
make rules and regulations respecting
them, and it declares that the rules
and regulations of the secretary of
the interior, prescribed under the act
of congress of June A, 1897, for the
protection of the national forests.
were valid under this section of the
constitution. By the act of February
l, 1905, the power to make such rules
and regulations was transferred to
the secretary of agriculture.
The judge also decided that the
general policy of the state of Mon
tana, voiced through its laws. toward
grazing on the open public domain
and on unfenced private lands could
legislation by congress, under it's con
stitutional powers, for the protect on
of the public lands in the national
forests.
The case which resulted in the de-
cision was an action for injunction
brought by the United States against

SAD DEATH OF
GLENWOOD NAN
v. hcCIeIIdnd Accidentally Drowned
in Frying Pan River---Inter-
ment in Denver

Glenwood was excited Tuesday
morning when the news became cir
culated that V. McClelland of this
city was probably drowned in the
Vfying Pan river the previous night,
and at noon the report was verified by
news of the finding of the body.
Mr. McClelland went a week ago
Sunday to visit his daughter, Mrs
William Hall at her ranch home
near Castles, and after making trip
to Basalt returned on Midland No. 6
and the family saw him alight from
the train at Castles. When he did
not reach the ranch within reason
able length of time his daughter and
son-in law became uneasy and started
to look for him, and when they came
to the river Just across the railroad
track, discovered his pipe lying
on the bank. This evidence was al
most conclusive and they searched for
the body all night. In the morning
party from Basalt started up the
river, and at noon the body was found
1t is supposed that MIR. McCIelland
became confused when he got off the
train and instead of going towards
his daughters house walked across
the track end into the river.
The unfortunate man has lived in
Glenwood number of years, work
ing part of the time for the Rio
Grande and part of the time for the
Midland as section foreman. He
leaves wife and several children
three of his daughters being grown
and married, besides an aged mother
in Denver.
Mrs. McClelland and son, James,
and daughter, Mrs. Wolff Maugnall
of this city, and Mark McClelland of
Divide, left Wednesday night with
the remains for Denver where inter
ment will take place. The family
was Joined at Basalt by Mrs. W. L.
Graves of Aspen, another daughter of
the deceased.
The bereaved wifc and children
have the sympathy of many friends.

Big Money in Hogs

This industry bids fair to make the
Western farmer independent, and he
is realizing the fact by stocking up
with good blood 1t has been demon
strated that the West is the best sec
ton of the United States in which to
produce pork prohtably for the reasons
that ont here in the pure, invigorat-
lug atmosphere hogs are immune
from disease and the demand is always
greater than the supply which fact
,nsures good market On our GER
eals and alfalfa we can produce as
good bacon hog as that of England
and Canada, which has a world wide
reputation. Those who have market
ed nogs during the past few months
have received as high as $7.25 per
hundred, which is making money easy
and fast.
A farmer living near Burlington,
Colorado, is the owner of thorough
bred SOW which raised 33 pigs within
eight months and these pigs sold for
1894.
Senator Ammons of Littleton, Col

from which he sells more than 81, 900
