We have received prospectus of the
Custer Reservoir company whose land
is situated in San Miguel county, Colo.
This is said to be in the heart
of the Colorado fruit belt in south
western Colorado. The valley which is
twelve miles long by three and a half
miles wide bears the name of the
'Nonpareil Valley" The soil is of
the very best for fruit and also well
adapted for grain, vegetab lies and alfalfa.
The elevation is little over 1000 feet
above sea level and reputed to be the
finest climate in the United States. This
is new organization and some of the
moat reliable citizens of Custer have
taken stock 10 the E,orspany which is a
guarantee Of an honest deal and that
good business judgment has been ex-
ercised in the planning and execution of
the work and the success of the enter
prise. The prospectus contains an ex-
cellent writeup of the company and We
regret that lack Of space precludes US
from publishing it in full. Those de-
string further information may obtain
the same by calling on E. A. Dickson or
Mr.. M. J. Bailey of Custer.

Circuit Court.

Judge McGee came over from Rapid
City on Wednesday of this week and
convened circuit court in special session.
Guy Messenger pleaded guilty to grand
larceny, taking a horse belonging to
George Bale from Ching Arnold's barn
near Hermosa about the Goth of August.
He was sentenced to a term of fourteen
months in the state penitentisry at
Sioux Falls.
Martin Hansen pleaded guilty to grand
larceny and was sentenced to eight
months In the state penitentiary. He
claims to have been overcharged by
Mrs. McDermond of Fairburn for bed,
breakfast and took the horse to get even.
He claims to be nineteen years old, born
in Copenhagen, Denmark, q butcher by
trade and says bis father runs butcher
shop in Chicago.
Guy Messenger is a native of this
county. His father was in court here at
one time charged with feloneous assault
upon L. B. Reno, and was found guilty,
shortly sfterward pardoned and ac-
cidentslly killed. 1t was the general
opinion that Messenger was justified in
the assault made with 44-csliber gun
loaded with SS-csliber cartridge. The
plea presented was insanity. This was
very unpopular at that time and proved
unsysiling,
The young man has not had the best
of opportunities, nature did not deal
generously with him and it is hoped the
light sentence may have the effect oi
reformation.
Application was made for supe.
sedess bond on appeal by the plaintiff in
the Bowles vs. jolly case. and it was an
nounced that the case would 60 to the
supreme court.
Some other matters of minor mention
were disposed Of
The judge announced that the October
term will be held on time. We under
stand that grand jury will be called
for the October term, and that the Edge
mont bank cases from Fall River county
will probably occupy the final few days
of the term.
The October term promises to be the
heaviest for years.

10000 coal miners in Wyoming went
out on strike on the first of the month
and the mines of the Union Pacific,
Rock Springs, Cumberland, Hannah and
Superior, employing 5000 men are clos.
ed down. The other mines at Kemerer,
Oakley, Dietz, Diamondville, Carney.
vile, Monarch and some lesser camps
employing about 5000 more are closed
indefinitely. The reason assigned for
the strike is the reduction of the miners
wages fifteen cents per day to which the
men would not agree. The amount OF
money involved in this shut down is
said to be about 500, 900 per day and how
long the strike will last is OF course un-
known. As the Black Hills obtains
its supply of coal mostly from Wyoming
it is matter of interest to our people
and in all probability there will be a
shortage Of coal and the price will be
advanced.

Headquarters of the q. 8. Reserve.

Announcement of the names of the
cities which are to be the six admins
trative headquarters of the U. S. Forest
Service, along with the lists of the men
to be in charge of the various Offices, is
expected to be made before another
week has passed.
| The task Of removing practically all OF
the National Forest business to the field
seems stupendous one to person not
familiar with the way the work has been
planned. Those who have had chance
to visit the Washington office of the
Forest Service during the past two
months have learned that there is an
organized forest training school running
in the big brick building on F street and
that the men who are to 90 into the
field will have received weeks of train
ing 10 their new duties before 1t is time
for them to leave the city. Other field
officers have been ordered into the 10.
cal Office and before the time for change
of administration the thorough prepara-
ton will make it possible for the men to
take their places and conduct their Of
fees as though the work had been going
on for months.
Actual transfer of the National Forest
business to the field will be made gradu-
ally, so that there will be practically no
interference with the routine work.
When through, the change of admins
tration to the six district headquarters
will mean much in expediting and rem
dering the forest work more effective.
The saving Of time in getting action on
matter relating to administration will be
one of the most important benefits
Now, it takes from four days to two
weeks to get mail to Washington and re-
ceive reply at the various points in the
fourteen National Forest states. With
the mail going to six central cities in
the West instead of to Washington,
there will be a marked saving in time
in getting action on matters relating to
the administration of the forests and the
benefit is sure TO be felt by every forest
| user.

First Schedule OF the National Conserve
ton Commission Made Public.

| ton Commission Mede Public.
| The National Conservation Commits
sion has just made public the first Of its
schedules on which the inventory of the
country's natural resources is being con-
Quoted. Only few Of the schedules
have, as yet, been given out, but be-
tween the lines of these 1t is plainly evil
dent the National Conservation Commis-
sion intends to hunt down waste in all
of its varied forms and to devise some
means to prevent it. This is apparent
In the general schedules as to each Of
the four sections of the Commission
waters, forests, lands and minerals.
IN For instances, the schedule relating 20
lands inquiries into waste Of soil by
erosion, which is the washing away Of
the land. That schedule also suggests
waste through Dad agricultural meth
ods." The lands schedule likewise goes
into waste in the carrying capacity Of
the public range In the west. The sec
ton Of waters is inquiring into how
much land capable Of irrigation is vast
ed by not being irrigated. More irnpor-
tant still is its suggestive inquiries tend
ing to show that we are wasting our
waterways TO an alarming extent by not
using them as we should. Perhaps the
greatest form of waste brought out in
the entire schedule is that relating to
water power. Two of the official in
quiries are as follows:
care existing developed water pow
ers put to their full user"
"To what extent can coal be saved by
the substitution Of water power%
Under the head of food waters, the
Commission inquiries, "To what extents
are food waters wasted2"
The mineral section ofthe mmission |
is seeking to find out "the nature and
extent Of waste in the mining, extrac-
ton and use of mineral products" and
methods Of preventing or lessening |
their waste"
The forest conservation must largely |
take the form of saving waters in manu-.
facture seems to be the conviction of the
Conservation Commission. The Com.
mission is busy conducting a census by |
correspondence to find the common |
wastes in woodusing industries. Queries |
have been sent to eight hundred manu-
facturers of cooperate stock for the pur-
pose of getting line on the waste Of
wood in the manufacture Of barrels and |
casks.
Similar wastes occur in turning the |
logs into headings and in the manu-
facture OF barrel hoops. The Forest
Service is trying to find just how i'm
portant such wastes are, with the object
of suggesting, If possible, some way of
cutting down the drains upon the for
ests which mean no gain to any one, but
loss to all. The returns from the in
quiries will form part of the report of
the Conservation Commission, when
the work Of taking the preliminary in
ventory of our national resources is COM
pleted.
The National Conservation Com
mission is to take up reports of the var
ious government bureaus which are now
at work on this inventory for general
discussion at its meeting, in this city,

will discuss the same subject with the
