Two Killed by snowslide.

Denver.-A Crested Butte dispatch
Wednesday night says: A snowslide
occurred at noon today near the work
ings OF the Crested Butte coal mines,
which are located on the mountain a
mile south Of town, and four men were
carried down the mountain side for a
distance of 1000 feet, two being buried
and killed in the slide.
The other two managed to ride the
sliding snow and were found at the
bottom Of the mountain uninjured, but
badly frightened.
The men had been at the mine seek
ing employment and started away
across the side of the mountain, d.
rectly In the line Of the slide, ignoring
the warning Of the mine boss and min
ers who happened to be out at the time
eating dinner, and who advised the
men to go down the tram line, which
was free from danger.
The slide was witnessed by miners,
who at once rushed to the rescue, but
two OF the men were dead when found
and the others were dug out of the
snow. No damage was done to the
mine or tramway, which will resume
operations tomorrow.
The men killed are Laurence Be-
quowich and George Laretic, both Aus
TRANS. Laretic has no family, but Be-
quowich leaves a wife and five chill
dren in Austria. The two who rode
the slide in safety are Tony Marks
and Joseph Maszer

Forestry Discussion.

Leadville.-That the financial strin-
gency has seriously affected the lumber
industry of the country as 1t concerns
the national forests was brought out
in the discussion of the forest super
vsors here Thursday. Statements from
several OF the supervisors go to show
that the receipts for the sale Of timber
by the government have decreased
about fifty per cent
James A. Blair Of the White River
forest stated that one of the most diff
ficult problems in the preservation OF
game is to secure protection from
careless hunters. He said that dur
ing the last game season several hun
bred deer were wounded by sportsmen
and left to go into the forest to die.
Another feature is the damage done
to stock by hunters whose aim is so
wild that the stock suffers, instead OF
the game at which they shoot. Some
times hunters mistake cattle for deer
and he estimates the loss of stock
from this source to be from four to
five head of cattle on every ranch.
Mr.. Blair thinks the beef yearly lost
in this manner is Of as great value as
all the game killed. He thinks a mis-
take was made in changing the law to
allow does to be killed, since hunters
are much more careless now and allow
many does and fawns to die in the
woods.
Assistant Forester C. S. Chapman
Of Washington brought message
from Clifford Pinchot, head of the for
estry bureau, in which Mr.. Pinchot
states that he is heartily in favor of
establishing game preserves on the ma
tional forest. He desires. however.
that local communities take the initia-
tive in this matter In such event the
federal government is at all times
ready and willing to assist in every
way possible to have the game pre-
serves established. Many of the ma
tional forests are now being made into
game preserves with good results.
The meeting also expressed itself in
favor of having forest rangers depu-
tized as state game wardens but that
such action should not be taken until
requests had been made from the state
authorities.

kindeI Hearing Continued.

Washington.-A hearing Of particu-
lar Importance to Denver and other
cities in the West is being held by the
Interstate Commerce commission. 1t
involves the rates charged by various
express companies for the transporta-
ton of express matter both east and
west from points in the Middle and
far West.
The case is that of George ]. Kin
dell of Denver against the Adams EX-
press Company and other express COM
panies. in which the complainant al
leges that the express rates from Den
yer to San Francisco and from Den
yer to points east are unjust, excessive
and discriminatory against Denver.
Mr.. kindel showed that the rate per
100 pounds from New York to San
Francisco was $3.50. while the rate
from Denver to San Francisco was SO
per 100 From other points in the
west to points furt.er west and to
points in the east the rates indicated
the same sort of alleged discrimina-
ton. The complainant is seeking to
have the commission adjust the rates
on what he regards an equal basis,
that will provide against dnfair dis
elimination against Denver md other
Western cities.

Teachers Institute instructors.

Denver.-To give the instructors
and conductors of state school insti-
tutes ample time to prepare for the
work before them, Katherine L. Craig,
state superintendent of instruction,
has announced the plan of making
the appointments to these offices not
later than February Goth of each year.
The instructors and conductors arr
selected by committee of county
superintendent in the district in
which they are to act. Heretofore
there has been no stated time for these
meetings, but in future they must be
held not later than January goth of
each year.
AS the institutes are usually held
during the summer months. this will
give the instructors several months
time in which to prepare themselves
for the work. There are thirteen nor
NAL institute districts in the state.
