ITO THE APOSTLE OF REFORM
Editor Prowers County News

Editor Prowers County News:-
You have been attacking the hon
esty. integrity and character OF the
Board of County Commissioners for
some time and more especially the
writer. You have lied about 80 many
things that 1t is useless to mention
them The editor Of the Lamar
Register has mentioned some of your
lies in his issue Of Nov. 18th. which
you dare not dispute. l wish to add
. few words for information of read
ers out OF the County of Prowers.
that may have been reading some of
the slanderous lies this creature has
been publishing about the Board OF
County Commissioners. The people
Of Prowers county and vicinity know
the present board of county commits
sioners without any information COM
ing from a creature that on account
OF his daily actions should not be al
lowed to live In adecent community.
1t is not necessary to expose the
actions of this cur of reform, only
for the information OF outside readers
People OF Lamar are all on. Perhaps
as far back as one year ago, while
this reformer was reviling everything
In general, there was some smoke
curling in the air toward this pre-

person. At any rate he, about this
time. appeared on the streets of La
mar with a body guard. They walk
the streets arm in arm together. they
attend entertainments, they drive on
the streets Of Lamar and on the
plains together. they make trips to
Denver together. they seem to be
perfect protectors to each other
In conclusion 1 will quote a para

quote it verbatim. except 1 will use

THE NEED OF FORESTRY EpUcA.
TIoN.

No wiser or better thing was ever
done for the rural population at large
than the institution and establish
ment of the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Stations and Agricultural
Colleges of the country.
The ultimate purpose has been to
help men in every sphere Of rural
activity to make the most possible of
everything produced by the soil. The
means to this end have been educa-
ton and experimentation. These go
hand in hand. By them the results
Of every undertaking must be tested
and decided, followed or discarded.
If we may judge from the signs OF
the times, a new activity Is about to
be added to the farm-the planting
and growing of trees for the uses OF
the farm and for pecuniary profit as
we'll. Heretofore farmers have gone
to the woods for their fences. their
houses and barns. and the country in
general has done the same thing for
Its railroad equipment. and thou
sand and one things In daily demand.
But the woods are fast passing, and
reason advises that We must look
elsewhere for timber; that we must
eventually depend on planted forests
for things made OF wood.
II so. we should know something
about trees and how to grow them:
how to plant forests and care for
them Here. then, would appear a
new function for the agricultural col
leges of the Countrywide teaching of
At present their functions embrace.
among other things, agronomy, horti-
culture and animal industry. For

cause Of its universal and pressing
necessity. and intricate for the rea-
son that so much time is required for
the forest production, and also be-
cause we have no precedent. 1t has
never been an American industry and
ton or experiment.
II the forests OF the country are
fast passing; II we are dangerously
tending towards a timberless period.
1t goes without saying that forestry.
both educational and experimental.
should find a place In our agriculture
colleges at the earliest possible mo-
tnent.
The first thing to settle is the truth
or falsity of the foregoing hypothe-
sis-that the forests are giving out
Ii 1t q fact that timbre is growing
scarcer and scarcer? Ia 1t true that
all heavy timber consumers are find
ing 1t more and more difficult to pro-
cure fresh product from the forests
for their daily consumption? Are
we to credit the statement that rail-
roads and lumber companies are be-
coming anxious as to their future
supply. and where It is to come from
II these queries and others OF like
character require an affirmative ans
wer. as they unquestionably do. then
are we face to face with the absolute
requirement Of forestry education and
experimentation in our agricultural
colleges? All argument based upon
theory Is at an end. It becomes an
unequivocal demand: an invincible
necessity: something to consider: a
matter to provide for.-The Denver

DISTRIBUTE DEAD
AMONG SURVIVORS
Work of Identifying and Preparing
Theater Fire Victims Continues
and Quick Burial Is Asked
by Officers

By Associated Press.
BOYERTOWN, Pa, Jan. 16.-This little
borough, which lost one-ffteenth of its
Monday night. today turned to the task
of buryIng the dead.
Because of the condition of most OF
the bodies, the borough authorities have
asked the bereaved relatives to bury the
dead within three days. All night long
scores worked at the morgues prepar-
ing the identified bodies for removal
to their late homes or to the cemetery.
AS early as o'clock long line of
death wagons moved here and there about
the town distributing corpses, and be-
fore noon almost all of the dead will be
ready for interment There was slight
hitch In the work of removing the bodies
from the morgue through the action of
Coroner Strasser forbidding removal of
any bodies during his absence. This was
due to a mixup In the Identification of
the body of a boy.
There were three claimants for the
body and all appeared before the coroner
for permission to remove 1t. Each one
was positive that the body was the one
they were looking for. Therefore, to pre-
vent mistakes, the coroner issued the
order.
Burgher Koehler learned of this and i'm
mediateiy communicated with the cor
oner at Reading, where he had gone on
business. When IL was explained that
the people who had positively identified
their dead wanted the bodies and that
bodies in dispute would be held, the cor
oner rescindod his order.
Since then the relief committee, work
ing in conjunction with relatives. has re-
moved more than fifty bodies from the
morgues. 1t is a common sight to see
men carrying through the streets charred
bodies on boards covered by blanket
or quilt.
There is not a Clergyman in town able
to conduct services A force of men
started to dig graves in Fairview and
Union cemeteries snis morning, and they
will be relieved at intervals. 1t is ex-
pected that more than fifty bodies will
never be identified.

She passed through storm after storm,

were washed away by the seas that
crossed her decks, or else so saturated
