BISHOP POTTER
 DIES PEACEFULLY
tcontinued from First Page )

N. Y. He had been the head of the New York diocese since 1887, sue ceeding his uncle, Bishop Horatio Pot ter. In addition to the heavy duties of the oversight of the largest dio- cese, in point of population, in the United states, Bishop Potter took an active part in movements of national importance. The bishop did much to promote more cordial relationship between employers and employed and when the occasion demanded, lent his efforts to improve the standard of municipal government in New York city. Having once pointed the way to- ward municipal regeneration, the bishop stepped aside nd permitted others to carry out the reforms. Con- ditions of immortality on the east side in New York were brought to his at- tentlon several years ago and in a sharp sermon delivered at St. Pauls church in monday meeting he called public attention to lax condition of municipal direction, which resulted in the overthrow of the Tammafy administration and the election of Seth Low, president of Columbia col lege, to the office of mayor
 | Bishop Potter caused a great stir | throuhgout the country several years ago, when he took part at the dedca- ton of the Subway tavern on Bleecker street, New York It was the plan of those interested in the tavern to conduct an establishment where all in- toxicants would be served under regu- latlona which would promote temper ance and by example improve the tone of the saloon The bishop made an address in which he said he had hoped that the tavern would prove success After an uncertain existence the taverr | failed.
 A few years ago Bishop Potter mar. ried Mrs. Elizabeth Scrlven Clark, his second wife, whose summer home is ir this city. Bishop Potter was the son Of the Rev. Aonzo Potter who was con secrated Bishop of Pennsylvania in 1SI5 He was ordained a priest lr 1858.

'.Th.t County Boundary Again"

THAT County Boundary Again.
Under the above caption the Yam
pa Leader Of late date says:
1.-THE old question as to the exact
location Of the boundary line be-
tween the eastern end Of Rio Blanco
county and the southeastern portion
Of Routt county appears to have
been revived, and from an unexpect-
ed source. The United States govern
ment has stepped In and has an
nounced positively that portions Of
certain homestead claims which the
owners believe to be wholly in Routt
county are held by the Department
Of the interior to be In Rio Blanco
county"
The Leader then goes into details,
historical and otherwise, describing
the supposed boundary lines, and
shows that Notwithstanding the Of
fetal survey made some years ago by
the county surveyors of both Rio
BlancO and Routt counties, the lines
are still In dispute, and number Of
settlers are now in this county, who,
heretofore, thought they we're safely
located in Routt.
In our opinion, the best way out of
this boundary muddle will be an ex-
change Of territory as suggested some
time ago.
The northeastern part OF Rio
Blanco county, say all east of Milk
creek, should be coded to Routt
county, and in lieu Routt should give
US a slice of country in the western
end OF that county.
The commissioners Of the two
counties should have q conference
SO that the matter could be voted
upon at next falls election.

Pinchot's annoying regulations are
becoming simply unbearable. In the

cattle on the forest reserve, you have
to go and herd the bunch to SEQ that
no more than the number named In
the permit get across the dead line"
Our informant says he left his native
country in Europe to get away from
vexatious governmental regulations
and red tape, but he never witnessed
anything in the old country ap-
prosecuting in extreme idiocy to Mr..
Pinchot's absurd grazing regulations.
