NORMAL SCHOOL

In speaking Of the probable dis
position Of the buildings of the Teller
Indian School at Grand Junction, the
News Of that city says:
Interest in the final disposition of
the Teller Indian School property If
abandoned by the Federal Government
as an, Indian school is increasing all
over Colorado. Glenwood man has
come forwar6swith the proposition that
the school be turned into an institute
for defective children. Another prop
ositionois to have the property turned
over to the Western University for a
weh organised manual training and
technical school The state normal
feature is another that is being discuss
ed. Tuesdays Denver POST states:
The Western Slope wants normal
school. Grand junction will put in a
strong bid to the Seventeeth general
assembly to secure the old Indian
school for the purpose At present the
only normal school is at Greeley, and
citizena on the other side of the ran ge
say the expenses of railroad fare across
the state makes the institution prohib-
tive TO all who are not comfortably
supplied with this world's IS goods.
There are some excellent buildings
included in the Teller school plant,
just outside of Grand Junction. The
men who arc boosting the idea declare
thst the state would be put to little ex-
pense in fitting up the buildings for
a normal institution, and that the cost
of maintenance would be practically
the only consideration. About $50 acres
is plated at the Indian school, which
gives ample room for buildings to be
erected when required. ~
The government may give up the In
dian home and the state may use it for
any purpose whatsoever. Experience
has convinced many interested in the
elevation of the red man that the bet
ter plan is to educate him in his own
settlement, where his influence can in
turn be cxerted over his people.
Senator II. T. DeLong will introduce
the bill asking for the normal school
He is with the minority in the assembly
this time, but the Grand Valley is Il
unit in wanting the school, and Demo
Gratis in that section of the state will
stand back of DeIong in his efforts.

influence of the Local Paper

Interesting figures complied by NJ. W.
Lawrence, manager of two farm jour
mails circulating in Ohio and Michigan,
shows that 77Heo of the farmers of
those states do not take any of the pop
ular national magazines. In other
states Mr. Lawrence believes this per
centage will be found to be even greater.
In many communities the local paper
must be the only reading matter that
enters the home. In some cases it is
everything from cookbook to Bible,
Such a paper must exercise tremendous
influence on the public opinion and upon
the ''buying public''
The local merchant often fails to see
that he has right at hand the means of
combating mail order houses. An ad
vertisement in his local paper will car
ry more weight than all the catalogues
and national advertising that mail
order house puts out.
Think it over, Mr.. Merchant! it will
pay you.

NAPIER AND GAME LAWS.

81 want to do what the majority of
people want in the matter of the game
laws. There are some that want the
opening Of the season made" earlier
that the hunters will have to 20 high.
er up the mountains to secure their
deer and there are some that want the
season made shorter. I do not think
it would do any good to make clos
ed season on deer.'' This is in part a
statement made by Senator elect B. T..
Napier in answer to a question regard
ing his position on the present game
laws of the state. Continuing, Mr.. Ma
pier said: "There are a lot Of people
over in Rio Blaneo county that want
n closed season, but I will be governed
by what the majority of the people
want -
1t is hardlyy likely that vote Of
the people of the state will be taken in
this matter, but should such a vote he
!! taken we believe the majoriy Of peo-
pie would vote for closed season for a
few years.. The surprising thing of the
| affair is that B. 7. Napier does not
seem to give much weight to the claims
that are made that the deer roaming
the hills wsuld be an attraction that
would draw people from other states
just to zee them. If Colorado is to BIZ
tho playground of the country; lets fol.
low as closely as possible the customs
of nature and preserve the deer.

Wheeler National Monument

The President has just signed a pro
clamation creating the Wheeler National
Monument, in the Rio Grande Ma
tional Forest, Colorado. The tract in.
cluded by the proclamation is situated
on the south slope and near the summit
of the Continental Divide at an ele-
vation of proximately 1880 feet above
sea level
The principal value of the land as
n National Monument lies in the fact
that the rapid erosion of rock and soil
makes the spot one of exceptional
beauty. The numerous winding canyons
broken ridges, pinnacles, and buttes
form such striking and varied scenes
that it will be much visited by tour
lists when it has been made accessible
by road or trail. Historical interest
also attaches to the region as it is be-
lieved that the ill-fated expedition of
John G. Fremont was overtaken by dis
aster in this immediate vicinity and
was forced to turn back. Skeletons of
mules, bits Of harness and camp equi,
page found near this spot give cre-
dence to tho belief.
Wagon Wheel Gap, on the Denver
& Rio Grande R. R., is the nearest
railroad point from which the Wheeler
National Monument is accessible, and
at present it can be reached on foot.

800 persons per acre is the density

No allowance in this is made for

TO be submitted % the voters Of Devils
Lake at the municipal election 70 DO
held April 9Th. The question on which
the voters will vote 10 whether We
shall or shall not tar the property Of
this city mills annually for the
maintenance Of free public library.
Now there may be an erroneous idea
obtained from this to the effect that
this two-mill tax Is to be voted for the
purpose Of erecting library. This
is not the question at all. The vote
is on the question of providing for the
proper maintenance Of the library az
ter it is erected. It is practically GER
tain that If this vote is favorable Mr.
Andrew Carnegie will donate TO this
city the sum of $4,000 for tho cree
ton Of o handsome free public library.
1t is business proposition for this
city. Is 1t not fact that a handsome
library building in Devils Lake will
enhance the property more than tho
mill a year tax? 1t would seem 60
The money thus obtained will raise
fund of about $1,000 a year which
amount is necessary to obtain the do
nation from Mr.. Carnegie, and which
amount is used only for the proper
care of the building, and the purchase
of books, periodicals., etc. for the use
Of the patrons of the institution.
We should look at the good to be
accomplished to our city and It's in
habitants, in deciding this question.
we have need for the advantages to be
obtained from an institution Of this
character. The tax is not enough to
prove a burden to anyone and the
cause is of the most commendable
character.
Look this question up thoroughly
and we are sure when the time comes
for you to mark your ballot it will be
with a cross opposite the word yes.
Business in Devils Lake is reviving
wonderfully. And it Is estimated that
the coming spring will see the larg-
est volume Of business in this city
that it has ever had.

AETTY GREEN RESPONSIBLE.

The shooting Of braca of wild
ducks as they were swimming and div
ing in a front door yard in Gage Park
marks the elimination of a period OF
food and distress that has turned that
modest suburb of Chicago upside
down and won for it the title Of Lit
tie Venice" Hetty Green, the excen-
trio millionairess who recently refus-
ed to loan money on diamonds and
heirlooms of New Yorks -four hum
dred," is responsible for the conditions
that have converted the town into q
temporary lake and obliged the bust
ness men of the place to get to their
offices by boat instead of afoot. At
least the lake jewellers claim that she
is responsible, because as principal
property owner and tax payer In the
region she has for years opposed and
prevented the building of sewers to
drain off surface water in times of
spring flood like this. The case is
now being fought out In one OF the
courts before presiding Judge whose
name is appropriately enough Judge
Pond. The ducks were introduced as
evidence of the flooded conditions.
They were plump pair Of bluebills,
shot near the shore Of one Of the
temporary lakes. It developed that
hocks Of bluebills, mallards, and even
canvasbacks are beginning to pause
in their northern flight and drop into
vast expanse Of water north of Archer
Avenue and within few miles Of the
heart of the city. Meanwhile the food
is abating somewhat, though the
ground floors Of the houses are still
partly submerged and many of the
children are yet obliged to raft them
selves to school. ~
