CAUGHT BEAR NEAR THE FAIRY CAVES

One of hte livliest bear chases that
has ever occurred in the mountains was
that of Thursday afternoon of th's
week when Il. +. Lucas of Hotel Colo
rado, with two other men and a couple
of the Warner dogs. chased a bear al
most to the Fairy caves before running
it up IL tree and later capturing it and
returning it to its corral.
Many of our readers have seen the
bears near Hotel Colorado during the
past summer season. They were the
delight of the children that came to
the hotel and it is believed they were
kodaked AS often as has been Presidenr
Taft. At one time there were six OF
the bears, but Mr.. Lucas kept selling
them until today he has but one. and It
was this one that caused the chase of
Thursday.
1t has been the custom to let the
bear wander around the parks of the
hotel every day and on Thursday
morning the usual custom was followed.
About 10 O'Clock Mr.. Lucas was toll
that the animal had started for the

on the trail of Bruin, who had wan

the hill toward Fairy caves, passing
back of the power house. The dogs
took the trail and after couple of
hours had the bear up tree under the
cliffs near the Fairy caves BY coax

TAYLOR SEEKS
GOVERNMENT AID
In Making Survey of all Oil
and Gas Fields in
Two Counties
WILL PEOPLE ASSIST

In spite of the fact that there is
general belief throughout Garfield and
Mesa counties that hidden wealth IN
the shape of oil and gas abouuds, there
has never been determined effort gu
the part of the government to make in
vestigations such as surveys to locate
the oil and gas fields. This inactivity
has spurred Congressman Taylor to ac-
tion. and this week he is writing let
tiers to the various city councils, com
mrrcial bodies and county commission
ers of Mesa and Garfield counties ask
ing them to pass resolutions calling
upon the government to make the need
ed surveys.
The request for the survey will be
made to George Otis Smith. director of
the United States geological survey
aud if this petition is backed up by
the resolutions of the various town
and commercial bodies it is believed
that action will be taken.
At present there are four corps of
government surve rors in Colorado
fields. They are surveying coal lands
and measuring sGreams and doing other
work, but so far they have started no
work looking to the surveying of the
oil and gas fields of Garfield and Mesa
counties. If they can be secured and
the work started. ii is almost certain
that oil and gas of vast value will be
found as one of the hardships, that of
knowing where to prospect, will have
been removed.
1t is certainly to be hoped that Con
gresham Taylor has the united support
of the people of both counties affected
by the petition and that every organ
lied body will adopt resolutions along
that line. "Ask and We shall receive, -
is just as true in this case as all others.
Let every town council board of trade
and county commissioner get busy.
In addition to the above Congress
man Taylor announces that he will keen
up the work looking to the surveying =
| of government lands that are outside
of the forest reserves.

Land Owners Will Be Asked to Deed
Right Of Way for Roads And
County Surveyor Ordered
to Make Surveys
TO MEET AGAIN november Is

As the Post goes to press the indi.
cations are that the county commission
ers will take steps leading to the con
struction of both the Lacey and Una
bridges Resolutions were presented
late yesterday evening in which tho
county surveyor was authorized IN
make asurvey of the proposed sites
and approaches and AT the same timr
secure deeds for rights of way from
both sides of the river to the bridges
1t is understood that the commission
'crs will ask that the approaches and
roads b. built at no expense to the
county.
Another meeting of the board viii
be held November 18th. at which time
it is hoped deeds to the roadways will
have been secured and if such arr
ready to be turned over to the county,
the two bridges will be authorized AMI
bids will then be called for.
The following delegates were this
week appointed by the county eommIs-
sioncrs to attend the Western Slopn
Commercial congress at Grand Junction
to represent this county in the big
meeting:
F. W. Popple and NJ. II. STREET of
Grand Valley; George +. Clarkson. w.
II. Haley of Rifle; J. w. Zimmerman,
VIM. Dinkel and G. II. Harris of Car
bondale. and C. y. A. Hahn, p. e
Coryell and w. G. Lockard of New
Castle.
To attend the tourist rate convention
in Denver. Ed McLearn of Rifle was
chosen by the commissioners to repro
sent Garfield county.
The same old ghost, roads and bridg.
rs faced the county commissioners 1T
their session this week. Day after day
they wrangled with the problem which
they realize must be solved sooner or
later. but at every turn they faced u
knot that seemed too tough for soln-
ton.
The various commercial bodies of the
county have asked that n special four
mill levy be made at this session for
the building of the bridges at Una and
Lacey. Men, who pay heavy taxes
were here from every section of the
county and with one accord they urged
the building of the two structures. Tn"
commercial bodies had asked the special
lIeyy. but the commissioners felt that
such step was unwise at this time. IT
was also suggested that the legislature
could be built and warrants issued ant
as Garfield county warrants are as good
as anv in the state. there would be no
trouble for the owner in disposing OF
them To some this plan was better
than a special levy. while the others
were Just as firm in their belief.
This problem of the two bridges was
the one to be faced every morning
throughout the week, but when evening
came the board was no nearer a solu
tion than when they started work in
the morning. 1t was known that
bridges and good roads are what will
make this county so far ahead of her
sister counties that they will never
catch up, but it was the ever present
question, "where Will We get the
money?'
