selected after examination of locali
ties all over the United States, and
the conclusion reached that Colorado
offered the best natural facilities for
combating consumption. At Fort Ly-

coed on the theory that the tubercular
patient should have no work, and ev-
erything is done to furnish the men

eminent is planting $4,000 trees around

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Dr. A. F. Potter.
assistant forester and chief of grazing
of the bureau Of forestry, passed
through here en- route to Washington
from Salt Lake City. where he met
with foresters and sheepmen and ad-
justed matters pertaining to grazing
live stock in the Utah reserves. DIR.
Potter has made up the list Of allot-
ments for grazing in the reserves OF
this and other western states for the
current year. The Wyoming allot-
ments are 10000 cattle and horses and
$4,000 sheep and goats. an increase OF
90.O0Olin all.

Liberals Not Radical Enough.

London.-Big as is the Liberal pro
gram Of legislation for the session of
Parliament which opened Wednesday,
and earnest as the government lead
ers have shown themselves to be in
their endeavor to meet the views OF
all factions constituting the present
radical majority in the House of Com
mons, there is a well defined feeling
OF disappointment among the minister
ial supporters that the cabinet has not
been more definitely radical in its pro-
posals.
The speeches of the cabinet repre-
sentatives since the last session of
Parliament have led to the expectation
Of more definite proposals with regard
to the governments Irish policy, old
age pensions and Quotations, to men,
ton only few subjects, references to
which in the Kings speech did not
satisfy She respective elements espe
cially Interested therein.
Rumors from Dublin had forecasted
another Irish councils bill, but there
has been substituted for this measure
which, II 1t passes, will only deprive
the landlords of their grazing lands in
certain sections.
Similarly, forecasts with regard to
educational and old age pensions pro-
posals promised much more than is in
dictated by the references to these mat
tiers in the speech from the throne.
There is an inclination believe that
the King uses his influence as far as
he was able without overstepping the
constitutional bounds, to modify the
more sweeping proposals with which
the cabinet Is credited by those uSu.
ally in their condolences.

Gore Canon Power Plant.

Denver.-Work has now been COM
pleted on the plant of the Central Col
orado Power Company at the eastern
end of Gore canon. This is one of
the series of plants which the COM
pany is now constructing, with view
to electrifying many mountain rail-
roads in the central portion Of the
state, and furnishing electric power
to mining properties, small towns, irri-
cation companies. ETC., in all parts OF
the state. The Gore canon plant is
similar to one being constructed near
Glenwood Springs, both having the
same character of diverting dam and
tunnels about four miles long. The
plants will each deliver from $4,000 to
900 horse power. The Gore canon

The allotments by states follow:

Mr.. Potter stated that the above Is
an increase over the number of per-
mits issued for last year, In round
numbers, of 100000 cattle and 100000
sheep.
There are fourteen reserves not in
cluded in the above, in which allot-
ments have not yet been made. The
reserves are all small and will not
carry to exceed 5000 cattle and $4,000
sheep combined.
Mr.. Potter stated that the increased
number of sheep, cattle, horses and
goats allowed in the reserves In 1908
over 1907 is due to improved condt-
lions in thirty of the reserves, the In
creased area of some OF the old re-
serves and the creation of new nation
al forests.
The forester figures that the 1885,
900 cattle and 7.743,S70 sheep grazing
in the reserves a few weeks the COM
ing summer will return to the forest
service something like 81 100000. Last
year the forest service obtained from
grazing the sum of 100000.
In the main the fees charged for
grazing cattle, sheep, horses and goats
remain the same this year as last. In
Montana a reduction in the fec
charged for grazing sheep has been
made. Last year eight cents per head
was charged and this year seven cents
will be charged. In some instances an
increase is noted. In Idaho the graz
ers Of sheep will be charged seven
cents per head for a four-months sea
son, and six cents per head for
three-months season. The forester
says the fees are about the same all
around, with a slight reduction on
sheep, if any change at all.
The present season the forest ser
vice will make allotments on the fol-
lowing per head, per month basis:

FIERCE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.
Antoine sovorl, Charged With Four
Murders, Tries to Escape.


Canon City. Colo.-A most sensa-
tional and dramatic attempt to cheat
the prospective gallows, made by An
tone Bovori, has just been revealed.
It occurred when, accompanied by
Sheriff Esser, Undersheriff John Che
telat, Deputy Sheriff San sabrizzio OF
Pueblo and one other guard. Bovori
was taken by automobile to the scenes
of the recent tragedies near Florence,
with the hope that he might point out
the burial place of Joe Minichiello.
the last victim in the Quartette Of
murders charged against Bovori.
AS the morning was cold, strong
leather handouts were used instead Of
the usual steel, but as an extra pre-
caution ropes were tied to his ankles
and the ends held securely by the
guards. Arriving at the scene he led
the searchers over the fields in the vi
entity of the crimes and then toward a
high embankment covered with will
lows on the banks of the river.
Just before reaching the spot it was
necessary to cross barb wire fence.
Sheriff Esser and Undersheriff Chete-
lat preceded the prisoner. while the
two guards followed, holding the
ropes.
When the sheriff turned to open the
way through the fence he was startled
by the discovery that the leather hand
cuffs had been cut, the prisoners arms
were free and in his hand was a knife.
At the same instance Bovori made
vicious spring at the sheriff in mad
attempt to strike him down, leap into
the river and escape through the thick
bushes, or meet death from the bull
lets of the officers
His attempt was futile, as Sheriff
Esser was too quick for him. Striking
the weapon from his hand the sheriff
seized his Infatuated man by the
throat in an attempt to cyerpower
him. Bovori fought like a beast using
bis hands, feet and teeth and all the
time snarling and swapping like mad
dog.
Not until the officers used their re-
volverS over his head was he subdued.
Steel handouts were then placed on
him and he was dragged to the car
and taken back to jail. His rage knew
no bounds. Once he sprang into the
willows and Selling a branch nearly
an inch in diameter with his teeth,
severed it. Again he sprang into the
air and came to earth head first among
the rocks. in an effort to butt his
brains out, and it was only with the
greatest difficulty that he was re-
turned to his cell. where he will prob
ably remain until his trial
The weapon used to cut his hand
cuffs and with which he came SO near
numbering the sheriff was found to be
a slender piece OF tin which the pris-
oner had cut and fashioned with his
teeth and whetted on the iron bars OF
his cell until 1t was keen and dan
gerous weapon. Where he got the tin
is mystery, although it is supposed
that it came from the lid Of a syrup
can used at his meals and which he
secreted in the lining Of his coat.

A year ago at Salt Lake City, and
again recently at Helena, The Nation
al Wool Growers Association called
attention through resolutions to the
fact that grazers in the forest reserves
were given no assurances that when
they left the reserves one year that
they would be permitted to enter the
next. In other words, the regulations
Of the forest reserve were discourage
ing, in that stockman could not an
ticipate year ahead, or plan for the
future. The forest service has finally
granted the appeal of the sheepmen in
some sections, and beginning with
this season supervisors will approve
applications for grazing privileges for
a period of five years, in certain re-
serves, the fees to be paid annually
at the regular current rate. That is
to say, stockmen will be granted the
privilege of grazing in the reserves for
period of five years. but they must
pay annually at the rate that may be
placed in effect for that year, and the
rate granted the stockmen for the first
year of his five-year term may and
probably will be changed from year
The reserves in which this five-year
permit will be granted are as follows:
