SAVING THE BIG TREES

One of the commendable acts of con
gress was the passage of the Calaveras
big tree national forest bill. The Cal
averas grove is one of the several in
California that contains some of the
largest and most remarkable trees in
the world A giant redwood would be
dwarfed among these trees. They
should be regarded as a splendid treas
ure for the entire country, and all of
them should be preserved and guardei
with the greatest care.
The grove is in the Sierras not far
from the cd mining town of Angels
Camp. 1t is reached by a picturesque
ride through the mountains, and no
doubt the transportation facilities will
be much improved as time goes on. The
trees are now private property, but
under the terms of the bill, the owner
will transfer them to the government
and will receive payment for them III
timber of equal value from the unap-
propriated public domain.
There were some doubts about the
right of the government to make the
purchase, but fortunately they wer4
dispeled or had no effect except upon
over cautious minds. The result is that
everything that can be done will be
done to protect the trees. There is no
longer any danger that they may be
cut down and sold for lumber, and the
forestry service will see that they are
no. injured by man, and will take ev-
cry precaution to save them from de-
struction by fire.
The tallest tree standing in the Cal
averas grove reaches to a height of
500 feet and another specimen is "a
feet in circumference. The famous
- Father of the Forest fallen tree
had an estimated height of 400 feet.
Tie grove is visited every year by
Tourists, and except the Mariposa
grove. is the most celebrated of the
dozen or so that are known to exist.
1t contains 100 trees of great size

The very crack itself is historic, it

Justice Marshall. To place it where
its peal could be heard would necessi-

as an object lesson to the youth of the

There is, too, the danger that in be-

ruined. The company offers to furnish
a bond against such an accident, but
what amount would be sufficient to
cover the loss? The bell is not treas

puEBLo's GREAT VICTORY

One of the greatest victories in the
state was won Tuesday in Pueblo, when
the republicans succeeded in electing
the mayor, aud considerable portion
as any in New York. Yesterday the
people arose in their wrath and swat
ted the democratic politicians until
they yelled for mercy.
1t is reported that the city bosses
are laying their defeat to the legisla
ture. That may serve as an excuse
for the legislature was about as in
competent as any body of men could
of the city ticket. Pueblo has been IN
mercifully handicapped in the past six
years by a succession of democratic
administrations. They have made of
thai. town Tammany borough as bad
be-but the real reason for the over.

decent way in which the Tammany pol

WHERE OUR MEN STOOD

The Denver News recently gave a
record of the men composing the Sew
snteenth general assembly, and among
others said the following regarding
napier and Luxon of this county:
Napier, B. T., Twenty first District,
Eagle, Garfield and Rio Blaneo coun-
.ies.-wrong on everything but head
ess ballot bin. Napier mas two ambi-
IONS, to stand wen with the gang, and
to get his name on the largest possible
lumber of bills. 1t seems to make no
Inference to him that his name does
not belong on those bills, or that he
furnished no single idea embodied in
those bills. If he gets the name there,
that is enough. Naturally, he WAS a
cheap and easy recruit for the ma
chine.
Luxon, Joseph, Rifle.-Known as the
man with bridge bill. Wrong on all
tests.
one democrat Of this city, who was
reading the News record, said he would
never paste that in his hat, for he had
it so clearly impressed on his mini
that he would never forget.
People generally, regardless of party,
have denounced the Seventeenth for its
extravaganee with the peoples money
and giving. nothing in return. 1T is trus
they were out of their native stamping
ground for a few weeks, bat it was
very expensive for the people to have

AS OTHERS SEE US

The record of the election just passed
is an inspiring one from the anti saloon
standpoint.
Today the saloon in Colorado finds
itself practically confined to the min
ing camps, and the cities of Denver and
Pueblo. On the western slope the ga
loon is almost wiped off the map. The
mining camps still legalize the sale of
liquor as do Rifle and Glenwool
Springs. The saloon, however, is
doomed in Rifle. Another election will
see its passing. In Glenwood Springs,
the situation is more difficult. Tho
town is a resort town, and for this
reason many persons, with slight re
gard for the character of the average
tourist, put up the specious plea tha.
lack of saloons would kill the city as
a resort. Colorado Springs showed how
idle is this argument by voting out the
I" Kansas" drug stores, in that city, by
an Overwhelming vote. The question
in Glenwood, however, will quickly set
tie itself. The town has n population
of $500 and is supporting sixteen sa-
looms. Such a massing of corruption
will eventually bring about a reaction
and Glenwood will discover that rs a
matser of business it cannot afford to
harbor the joints,
On the eastern slope outside Of Den
yer and Golden, the state is practically
arid. In Pueblo the question wGs con
sidered by wards in eight wards, and
out of eight wards, five of them Went
"dry,' leaving but three ''wet' in
the city. Trinidad went ''wet' due to
peculiar local conditions. La Junta is
"dry." The results of the recent e]-

contemplate what would have happen

If the state, until Yesterdays local ell
dared minimize the effect of the law
by passing the Cary WarIlaw bill it
would have still left the state two
years of benefit from the republican n
bill before the democratic one would
have become operative. Since advance
publication of the compact made by the
democratic majority SO embarrassed II
that it dared not perfect the exchange
the state will continue under the re
publican relief act, and the way in
which it went dry in spots pretty much
over the entire face, goes to show that

with such legislation. The close call ii
has had ought to help it to realize
with which of the two important polit-
ical parties it is safest to entrust its
welfare.

some of the mining camps will come TO
many as something of a surprise, cou-
sidering that even home people are Civ

measure embodying the old idea of q

true that in them the demand for in

THE SENTINEL at Grand Junction

THE SENTINEL at Grand Junction
which supported the whiskey ticket in
the recent campaign in that city pays
n high compliment to the anti-saloon
forces which carried the day. The fight
certainly was great one and the op-
ponents of the saloons We're well organ
iZci. and won It more decisive victory
than most people believed they wou'd
do. Had the Junction saloons obeyed
the law during the past TWO years they
would not have been voted out, but as
in many other place. they hurried their
'annihilation by their lawless acts, AMI
Mayor Wentworth, who in many re
spects made an admirable official went
downtAo defeat because, instead of in
sisting on the revocation Of the LICENSE
those saloons which violated the law,
he winked at the lawles ness. That is
the whole explanation of his defeat.

Canon City are done with the saloon
forever. The vote cast was; not an ex-
.traoydinarilxs large one, but was no
liable for the tremendous majority ir
favor of the proposition to make, Can
on City anti-saloon territory, under
the local option law of Colorado; the
ratio being nearly fourteen to one.
1T was expected that the proposition
to make Capon City. .anti-saloon. terst-
tory would carry, but the .overwhelm-
ing endorsement it received. was some
thing of a surprise even to its most
ardent and enthusiastic supporters.
Even in the First ward, where is was
considered that there was about an
even break, between the friends of the
saloon. and those opposed to it the vote
stood 81 for license and 1ss agains. Ii,
.se1lse All over the city there was the
same hostility shown towards the sa-
loon, and to the nefarious business OF
| the rum seller.
1t was the doomsday of the liquor in
terests in this community, and proved
in the most emphatic manner that the
people of Canon City are convinced the
town is better off morally, financially
and in every other way without sa
looms than with them, Notwithstanding
all that has been said to the contrary
| by those who favor them. 1t was o
splendid victory, for decency, temper
ance and good citizenship, and means
that Canon City is satisfied with pro
hibition so far as the traffic in intox
icants is concerned.
The vote on the proposition to make
Canon City anti-saloon territory was as
follows:
First Ward-1s9 for the proposition
81 against.
Second Ward-265 for proposition, AZ

Third Ward-2s5 for propositionA 2s

DRYs WIN VICTORY

From the beginning of the campaign
to make Colorado Springs "Anti'sa-
loon territory within the meaning OF
he state laws. we have never doubted
its outcome. and the decisive majority
with which the city went dry shows
that faith was abundantly justified.
A victory is victory, no matter now
narrow the margin may be, but in this
case the margin is big enough to set
Mt rest all discussion as to the real SEN
timent of the people on the prohibition
question.
In a few weeks prohibition law Will
become operative in Colorado Springs,
and we shall have chance to put Il
IN an actual test. Some time must
elapse ere the merits and defects of
its workings can be clearly shown, but
we feel confident that experience will
proye the errors made by the oppon'
ents of prohibition as to it's hurting
business. etc. At least, this has not
been the experience of the other cities
where the plan has been tried, and
there is no sound reason for believing
that this city will be an exception

PUSH IT FARTHER

The President s policy in regard to
appointing office-holders in the south
ern states is to be heartily approved.
The north, since reconstruction days,
has done enough to harass the sout
and to make more arduous its struggles
with the manifold difficulties be.
queathed by slavery and war. Also it
is true, as urged by Mr.. Taft, that
there would be advantage to the south
in ceasing. to be solid; hut why should
not our President seize pliant
week to travel about New England or
Pennsylvania to preach a sermon. of
similar importg If party stubbornes5
is injurious in one part of the country,
it should be stupid also in another; AMI
the south at least has some excuse for
her solidity South Carolina has her
reasons, right or wrong, for reamining
immovable of one party, but what of
Vermont? The south distrusts the eli
feet of republican victory, on her hard
ess problem Mr.. Taft is wise in work,
ing to remove that distrust. To coa-
siderably more than one northern state,
however, we would suggest some of the
same political independence that the
President has SO justly recommended
to the south. Living with the char
acteristies of flock of sheep is no.

ALL GOOD

ALL GOOD people should take off
their hats to Grand Junction, which
has just come out in favor of deceney
by most decisive majority after the
saloon interests have resorted to all
sorts of disreputable and Illegal tactics
to carry the day, The better element
worked as one man for the overthrow
of the delestable conditions which il
legally conducted saloons have brought
upon the city and won by n majority
of ASP in the city. If the saloons of
Grand Junction had obeyed the law
during the past two years, as we have
sked them to do in Glenwood, the
temperance people would not have been
able to dislodge them last Tuesday.
The Grand Junction saloons by their
Illegal methods brought about their
own downfall, and therefore have no
one but themselves to blame for the
final result. They brought it on them
selves.
