Beautiful Weather

Some one said recently that Gun
nison has the winter Temperature Of
Minneapolis with the clear sunny
skies Of Los Angeles. A remarkable
combination. surely. and one that
gives delightful winter weather,
with almost absolute freedom from
disease. For some years, during the
winter season in Guunison and sur
rounding country population Of 1000
there has hardly averaged death a
month. No other t1wn in The
west can show such a record At
present we have the most deligLtful
sleighing About six inches oi snow,
in town bat the streets are packed
solidly and the sleighing Is perfect
from one end of the county 10 the
other.

Judge Sheppard in dissenting opin-

the trainers Of the constitution, not
so dangerous as a gagged press and

despotic aud Judges should be slow

There is no question that the power
has been and is often greatly abused
by the courts and made to serve
exactly the opposite purpose from the
intent of the Constitution. Its ar
bstrary use should be safe guarded
so that it will not operate to deprive
men ofrights guaranteed by the Con-

The undersigned, all Of whom are

the following:
That we are informed, which in

the Forest Service have been exam
lining certain portions Of such forest
and the country ad lacent thereto for
the purpose of eliminating from said
forest such portions thereof as are
not proper portions of such a Re

vestigation the Forest officers are
about 10 recommend that no portion
of this Reserve lying on the north or
western side thereof is to be elimi-
mated, but that instead of such elm
nation they are To recommend to be
added thereto something like $780,
600 acres of additional land
That your petitioners are familiar
with the new territory proposed TO
he included in such Forest and feel
ing that a mistake is being made, If
the same is so added, we present the
following reasons why the same
should not be added
That all of tie proposed additions
10 said Reserve ON the north and west
sides thereof is composed of either
treeless, sagebrash, mesa land, or
gulches with narrow strips of stunt
ed, stubby, scattering trees ON the
south sides of the guiches only; this
is practically true with the possib bic
exception Of two or three sections on
Cooper mountain. That fair and
conservative estimate will show that
not 10 exceed one-tenth Of the pro-
posed addition above referred TO is
covered with any kind Of timber, and
what timber there Is thereon Is Of a

the proximity TO the Cochetopa hills
Of such lands there is sufficient mois-
