The Peach Seed Industry.
Statesville Landmark.

oLaleSVlile LdiiulHafk
The advertisements of the Morris
on Produce and Provision Co. and
the R. Y. Brawley Co. for peach
seed suggests another of the things
formerly considered worthless that
is now of commercial value Year
by year new sources of wealth are
being discovered in the South.
4 few years ago nobody thought Of
peach seed as Of value. Now there
is demand for all that can be had
Last year when there was almost no
peach crop in this part Of the coun-
try the Morrison company bought
from 5000 to 5000 bushels and the
Brawley company large quantity.
The price varies but On account of
the scarcity of seed last year it
reached s. per bushel. This year
it will not be so much. Last year
small boys in town earned several
dollars spending money by picking
up peach seed left lying about pri-
vate premises. This year. with a
good peach crop in many localitses,
there is ample opportunity for those
who will to make good money. The
only labor involved is in gathering
the seed and bringing them to town.
The seed are sold to nursery men,

PINCROT TO CUT
SHEEP GRAZING
FEES IN FORESTS
Reduction Of From 10 to IS Per
Cent Announced for
Sheep Pastures.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Following
ont statement made year ago at
the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association at Salt Lake
City, Clifford Pinchot, forester, and
A. f. Potter, assistant forester. in
charge of the branch of grazing in
the United States forest service,
have just announced reduction of
10 to Is per cent in the rates for
sheep grazing on the national
forests of the west. This general
reduction in the schedule of graz
ing rates will take effect for the
coming season of 1909.
The changes in market conditions
which have made the sheep bust
ness less profitable this past year,
especially the greatly reduced
prices offered for wool and the de-
probation in the value of mutton,
make t0e announcement OF great
interest. not only to those who are
interested in the sheep business,
but to men in every allied industry.
The new schedule does not affect
the cases where the minimum
charge of ) cents per head has al
ready been allowed or where an es-
pecially low rate has been Fixed on
account of some local condition.
In most cases the revised fees will
mean a reduction of about | cent
per head.
In fixing the rates for grazing by
different kinds of stock, the local
conditions, the effect of grazing by
different kinds of stock on forest
growth, the demand for the use of
range by owners of different kinds
of stock, the needs of the home
steader and the profits of the bust
ness have been taken into consid-
Grafton.

Our millionaire . Senator

In again naming Hon. William
a. Adams for the state senate the
convention simply voiced the senti-
ments of every intelligent voter in
the county. The brightest man
who ever occupied a seat in the
upper house of the state Legislature,
the truest friend the people of this
county have ever possessed, man
who who has served as state sena-
tor for twenty years or more and
has never committed an act to
arouse the criticism or displeasure
of his constituents, he stands today
in class by himself. His worldly
wealth consisting of naught but
the warm friendship of all who
have ever had occasion to know
him, he is a peculiar example of a
corporation tool" as some of the
shysters who covet his position
have endeavored to class him.
Senator Adams is just plain Bill
Adams, and as Bill Adams he
serves the people of Conejos coun-
ty to the best of his ability, which
is the best in the land.

The Same Old Gag.

OF course the non-taxpaying
bunch wants Office again, but no
one outside their own little corpor-
alton seems to consider them any
thing more than huge joke. Their
alleged argument why they should
be taken care of at public expense
lacks everything akin to reason and
common sense. In fact, they have
no argument and their repeated
futile attempts to interest the peo-
pie with their tommyrot have be-
come so tiresome to the taxpayers
that they are greeted with a deaf
ear and a cold shoulder on every
hand-of no interest to anyone.
The people of Conejos county are
all aware of the fact that they have
had a good business administration
of public affairs best that
honest, capable, economical and
painstaking officials can give-and
the taxpayers are all more than
satisfied
And no one seems at all sur
prised that these fakirs who do not
pay any taxes and want official jobs
for dishonest purposes are never
satisfied with representative men
for public officials.

The District Attorney.

Do the people of this district
realize the great Importance it is to
them to have the district attorneys
office in the hands of an honest and
economical official?
Do they understand and appre-
ciate to what extent a district at
torney can swell his purse at the
expense of the taxpayers and still
conduct his office within the pro-
visions of the law?
We are of the opinion that while
few of our people may know these
things, there are many hundreds of
voters throughout the district who
have never stopped to consider for
one moment what might be their
recompense if the office fell into
the hands of man who was in
clined to get all that the law allows.
Under the provisions of the Col
orado laws district attorney is al
lowed big fee for every indict-
ment he tiles-and there is naught
save his sense of fairness and in
tegrity to prevent him from filing
half dozen or more indictments
in every case presented to him
AND HE is ALLOWED THE
FEE FOR EACH OF THESE
INDICTMENTS VIII ETH Err
HE PROSECUTES THE CASE
OR NOT.
This is one of the vital reasons
why Hon. James ID. Pitcher should
be reelected to the Office he now
holds and there are many more
reasons why the taxpayers of the
district should rally to his support.
He has proven the most economi-
cal official that has ever occupied
the office and We defy any man in
the district to show where he has
put the people to one cents need
less expense; to show where he has
ever filed an indictment and col
lected the fee therefor without
good evidence to substantiate the
charge; to show one instance where
he has neglected his duty or where
he has failed to discharge the func-
tions of his office with honor to
himself and credit to the whole
people.
AND WE DEFY ANY MAN.
FRIEND OR FOE. TO CITE
ONE SINGLE INSTANCE
WHERE JAMES d. PITCHER
HAS EVEN BEEN ACCUSED
OF GRATING AS MUCH AS
ONE RED CENT.
He stands to-day, after eight
years spent as the public prosecu-
tor of this district, as the very EN-
bodiment of all the term, honesty
and square dealing, implies. He
has served the people faithfully
and well and is entitled to re-elec-
ton by the largest majority ever
given "A candidate in the Twelfth
