2 HAZED A TENDERFooT.
He was Dead Game, Even if the Little
Cimaroon Was on a Tear.


Cimaroon Was on a Tear.

Chicago Tribune man, II was as green
tenderfoot as ever left the States.
And the boys used to lay it all over
me in them days in a way that was
riling.
Zone cold winter day, l remember,
me and Dave circuit and Hank Timms
was riding our ponies over to the
Slawson ranch. l had only been in
the country two weeks, and this was
my first trip out to Slawson's.
There was a sharp wind blowing
straight out of the north. We bumped
along pretty lively till suddenly the
boys pulls up sharp at the edge of a
wide crick.
Great buffaloes,' says Hank
Timms, but the Little Cimaroon is on
a tear. 1 wouldn't try to ride across

per's Ford, says Dave Orcutt.
How far is that?' asks.
'Thirty-six miles and a blamed

How deep's the water?' asks.
Too dang deep for comfort" says
Hank. Your clothes d freeze to your
back in two minutes if you got EN-
soak'ed
We'll, it appeared to me that here
was my chance to show that l was
dead game, even if was a tenderfoot.
I'm going to ride cross right

Don't you do it, pleads Hank.
You're new to the country yet, you
know, and me and Dave has to look
after you. You'll be foolish if you try
it. Do you want your clothes froze to

But the people over to the ranch II

Dave.
I'll fix it SO they won't l says,
and with that l strips to the skin in
the cold wind and puts on long linen
ulster that | had in my gunny sack.
Then ties up my clothes and bitches
them a round my neck, climbs up on
top of the saddle and starts down the
bank
Say, how the wind did whistle
around my bare legs! And standin' up
in the saddle like I was it had a
mighty good show at me. That linen
buster wasn't much protection, either.
Go ahead, if you must says Dave,
solemnly. 1--WE boysIl wait here on
the bank till you get across. An re-

TIMBER OWNERS ORGANIZE
TO FIGHT FIRE DEMON

One of the most important econ
omic movements of the day about
which the general public has yet
| learned little is the concerted action
! of owners of timber in different parts
| of the country in organizing associa-
| tions to protect their holdings from
| fire. In the Pacific Northwest the
| Washington Forest Fire Association
has just elected officers at Seattle
and begun work for the year with
| 100000 acres under its care. The
plans include system of patrol by
| rangers resembling the work done
by the United States Forest Service
| in guarding against and extin guish-
ing fires.
Organizations of similar kind and
for like purpose are at work in
| Oregon and Idaho. In the latter
state, portion of the expense is
borne by taxation and paid from the
state treasury. A western railroad
company which holds large tracts of
| timber has taken steps to guard
its property from fire, and during
the short time that its plans have
been in operation. it has met with
most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work
in the same systematic way to con-
troll the forests great enemy, fire.
Like organizations are found in 9TH
er parts of the country, showing how
fully it is now realized that protec-
tion against fire is of the greatest
Importance.
1t is safe to say that fires In this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When
timber was abundant, the waste pass
ed almost unnoticed, but now that a
scarcity is at hand and an actual
wood famine threatens in the near
future, the owners of forest lands
are waking up and taking action to
save what is left.

TELLS OF THE VALLEYS
EFFORTS TO SAVE FRUIT

J. Harry Carson, editor. of the
Railway Red Book, returned ycstcr-
day from n trip to the western slope,
where he visited various fruit dis
trfcts and made "A close inspection of
the situation for his publication,
says yesterdays Denver Republican.
"On the whole, | found conditions
much more favorable than they were
after the frosts year ago." said Mr..
Carson. Il happened to be in the
fruit country year ago and at that
time the growers were very much
put out with the conditions existing
This year, however, there is
much more cheerfulness apparent,
and the situation is much better.
Things looked pretty dubious for a
while. was at Grand Junction the
night the alarm was sent out by the
weather department. At 1 O'Clock
Monday morning the whistles began
blowing, to notify the farmers that
the smudges should be set burning.
They had already been prepared. as
the freeze had been anticipated, and
after the whistles began blowing you
could see bonfires for miles around,
looking like an election night cele-
bration.
although the freezing continued
for three or four nights. so far as l
could learn, there will be rs per
cent crop about Grand Junction.
Fruita. which lies II miles west, was
the hardest hit. The fruit in this
vicinity was almost entirely wiped
out. At Palisade it was reported on
good authority that the loss would
not exceed 10 per cent of crop. The
New Castle district seemed to escape
injury, although no smudging was
done. Paonia district will also have
an abundant crop"
John F. Moore, manager of the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers AS
sociation, who is a good judge of
matters of this kind. estimates that
the Palisade district will ship 800
cars of peaches and 100 cars of
apples and pears. In the Clifton,
Grand Junction and Fruita districts
he estimates loss of rs per cent of
the peach crop and SO per cent of
the apple. The pear crop sustained
some damage.

It$as been said in regard to James
Sutherland, the nominee for the office
of County Treasurer and Ex-officio
Collector of Chaves county, He was
among those who were in the front
ranks of the men who settled this
country and laid the foundation for
its growth and prosperity"
Mr.. Sutherland was born in Indian
Springs, Amador county, California,
Golden Far West state. 1t was not
necessary for him to undergo the
change from a tenderfoot and from
childhood he has always been a char
acteristic example of the true, typi-
cal, broad-minded, breezy western
person. He has been a Democrat all
of his life and has been answering
in espousing the principles of Democ-
racy. His loyalty has been often COM
mented upon and any one that is ac-
quainted with James Sutherland
knows very we'll that he is a dyed
in the wool Democrat.
He left the state of his birth and
came to Roswell and the Pecos Val
ley in 1888, being engaged to come
here and take charge of the Bloom
Cattle Company as manager, a posi-
tion he has retained ever since
When Chaves county was organic
ed he was elected its first treasurer,
and was reelected to the position at
the expiration of the first term He
filled the office in an efficient and cap
able manner and there is no doubt
that history will repeat ITSELF in
his case, as he will surely be elect
ed to the office for which he was nom
mated. His record is splendid and
ne is as strong a man as the Demo
Gratis could have nominated for this
important Office.
Mr.. Sutherland served as City
Treasurer of Roswell for one term
and conducted the affairs of this po-
sition in a most satisfactory manner.
He has been a dominant factor and
has always been favorable to every
move for the development and settle
ment of the City of Roswell and of
the entire Pecos Valley. He speaks
Spanish f1uently and enjoys the con-
fidence and respect of all people.
When the Democratic voters of
Chaves county go to the polls they
will not fail to remember the fact
that Mr.. Sutherland has had the ex-
perience that will enable him to at
tend to the duties of the office of
the work from the beginning. 1t will
be taken into account also his high

From here they go north to Clovis,

ties to Ell Paso and then north thru
Dona Ana, Sierra, Socorro, Valencia,
Santa Fe and Rernalillo counties.
Governor Curry had been with them
until few days ago, advocating the
election of Andrews. He turned back
on account of Acting Governor Ma
than Jaffa having his arm dislocated
in an accident. Curry will join them
again at Torrance and proceed thru
Lincoln county with the party, leav
ing them there and coming on to Ros-
we'll alone, it is announced. A meet
ing is to be arranged for Curry at the
time he comes to Roswell at which
he may speak.
The visitors were well entertained
today, being given an auto ride nnder

ing, and meeting the leading Repub-
hcan politicians and office holders

man, Harold Hurd, John w. Poe, G.
A. Richardson and L. B. Tannehill
were the speakers Of the evening and
they were unanimous in their opposi-
ton to the proposed move, not only
on account of the great damage it
would do this part of the territory in
the way of cutting off rainfall by the
destruction of the forests, but for
many other reasons. 1t was ulani-
prepared for submission to congress,
the purpose of which will be to de-
feat the proposed opening. 1t was fur
ther decided that a letter should be
sent to all the Commercial Clubs and
similar organizations in the territory
and enlist them in the move A res
olution was unanimously adopted
which with the circular letter are
given in full below.

aborate Dutch lunch was served, ev-
