The prosecution of the men
charged with the theft of the
bonds and other papers had come
to naught in New York, as I had
partially anticipated. Powerful
influences had been brought to
bear from several quarters, and
Brooks and Everett had never
been tried on indictments. The
case of the bond robbery had been
gradually smothered and soon
passed from public interest.
Some time later a warrant was
issued at the instance of Gen

getting into that valley. The fire is
also raging around Lake Eleanor.
The fire started two or three days
ago and so serious was the situation
that Major Benson, in command of the
Yosemite soldiers, went to the scene
of the fire with two troops of cavalry.
A large area has been burned over and
the damage has amounted to thousands
of dollars.
The San Francisco supervisors party
left Yosemite early this morning, about
20 in number, and will reach Crocker
station this evening, where they will
stop over night. They will proceed to
Hetch Hetchy tomorrow, providing the
forest fire is brought under control.
The supervisors will first go to the Nog

troops are camped, but 1T is doubtful

HARD AT WORK PLANNING
FOR SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The special committee of teachers
selected some weeks ago by the board
of directors of the Fremont County
Fair association to arrange for an ex-
hibit of school work at the fair to be
held in September, have had several
sessions and have formulated plan
g, verning the scope and character of
the work to be displayed. the value
of the prizes and awards to be made
etc
The committee is composed of
County Superintendent of Schools Mrs.
Minnie G. Merriam; Frank w. Shultis,
representing the Canon City schools:
Miss Eldora Britt, representing South
Canon and Lincoln Park: Mrs. Lulu
McCorckle, Florence, and L A. Moy-
nihan, Rockvale.
1t is expected that all sections OF
the county, as well as all grades of
the prizes to be offered, which will
be as liberal as circumstances will
permit. The officers OF the fair as
sociation have appropriated one hun
dred dollars for this purpose and
that amount, at least, will be dis
bnrsed by the committee. Prizes will
be given for both the graded and the
rural schools and no unfair competi-
ton will be permitted.
Among the subjects agreed upon by
the committee for which prizes will
be given for specially meritorious
work are arithmetic. language work
geography, history drawing and con-
struction work and nature study.

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
ISSUED BY GOV. BUCHTEL

Governor Buchtel yesterday issued
his annual arbor day proclamation.
Its full text is as follows:
by law the third Friday in April
in each year is set apart as Arbor
day, to be observed by the people of
the state in the planting of trees with
the proviso that the actual planting OF
trees may be done on the day desig-
mated or such other convenient day
as may best conform to local climate
conditions. Under this law we name
a day for the education Of the people
which we call Arbor day and then an
nounce that the actual planting of
trees may be done when the conditions
are favorable.
"Arbor day in Colorado should be
one OF the most Joyous OF all jubilee
days. 1t Is impossible to estimate the
value of the trees in the promotion Of
health and comfort and in ministry to
the refinement of life. Every school
ground should contain specimens of
all the native forest trees that belong
In Colorado and as many other varie-
ties Of forest trees as can be made to
grow here. Boys and girls should be
permitted to live with the trees and
the birds as well as with the history
Of dead tongues and dead kings.
"In accordance with the Colorado
Arbor day law I, therefore, designate
Friday, April IT. as Arbor day for the
year 1908, and heartily recommend to
all the people of the state, to all pro-
fessors and students in educational
institutions and to all teachers and
students in public schools that the day
be properly observed with literary ex-
ercises and in the planting of trees" F"
Cañon City record., 1908-02-27
Being q Law Unto Oneself.

Respect for law is the greatest need
of today. The head of a great cor
poration should be compelled to re-
spect the laws regulating the conduct
of his corporation, as he demands that
others respect the law that protects
the property of the corporation.
The anarchy OF capital, breeding
lawlessness. should no more be toler-
ated than the anarchy of labor, breed
ing riot and disorder. Men should be
taught that the unjustifiable killing of
human being is murder. whether 1t
part of mob of thousand.
The dram-shop keeper should be
made to realize that the law govern
ing his dram-shop is just as sacred
enjoyment of his property. II 1t were
left to each man to say what laws he
will obey and what laws he will not
obey, there would be no binding laws
at all. The trust magnate looks with
adherence on the pickpocket who vio-
lates the larceny statute, but thinks
he has a perfect right to break the
law against combinations and monopo-
lies: the burglar views with contempt
the lawbreaking of trust, but con-
siders the law against housebreak-
/ ing as an interference with his per-
sonal liberty; the CRATER scorns the
thief who breaks the larceny statute,
but deems the law against bribery a
| blue-law; the dram-shop keeper calls
| loudly for the enforcement of the law
against the man who robs his cash
drawer, but denounces the law regu-
| lating his saloon as puritanical.-

APPLE TREES WILL
GERMINATE BIG CROP

Unless another disastrous frost
visits this section in the early spring
Fremont county should produce the
heaviest yield of apples in 1908 that
has ever been gathered. There was
no yield last year and the trees are
strong and should germinate heavy.
The growers are looking forward to
the spring season with marked de-
gree of pride. They can see dollars
growing on the branches; apples
were certainly dollars this year, and
those Colorado growers who were for
tunate enough to have a part of a
crop profited heavily.
1t is not thought probable that an
other killing freeze will visit this sec
ton late enough to injure the fruit.
Florence has had considerable cold
weather this year, as mucn probably
as ordinarily, but there has been less
snow than usual.
Next month and March are the
months when most of the snow falls
in this locality and one or two good
freezes then would have tendency
of holding the buds from bursting into
blossom too early.-Florence Tribune.

ATTRACT MANY PEOPLE

In the course of a recent letter to
the Daily Record from Glenburn, N.
D., the ubiquitous S. B. George says:
1--WE are in North Dakota again this
winter, but it is vastly different up
here from what it was twelve months
ago when the snow was from three
to five feet deep on a level and there
was good sleighing for five months,
with the temperature ranging from
zero to SO degrees below. Thus far
we have had but very little snow
this season, not over two inches at
any one time and then it did not re-
main very long. This winter has been
an ideal one and reminds me of two
we'll boiled eggs-hard to beat.
January 18th and 10Th we had q
thaw and the water ran down the
streets, but it froze up couple OF
days later and the Thermometer has
indicated temperature of from zero
to 35 degrees below ever since. 1t
was "a degrees below zero this morn
ing, but it has moderated very much
during the last few hours. We are in
excellent health, had slight touch
of the prevailing epidemic, la grippe,
a few weeks ago but are all over it
now. Business, in view of the gen.
eral stringency of the currency, has
been very good indeed in this section
of the country and times are getting
decidedly better. I predict bright
future for North Dakota.
This is my fortieth institute beyond
the one thousand mark. Never had
more work, and never was in better
condition to push it. l am looking
anxiously forward to the time when
we shall put up shack" on Lincoln
