other? Or does he want timers to ac-
company each old COW to see just how
much mite she spends in each county
That would have to be determined un-
der his plan before either county would
agree that the other should have a
Glance at the money coming back from
the forest department. But under the
present plan there is no cause for trail
ing the COW. 1t matters not whether
she eats one hour in this county and
twenty-three in Eagle, or vice versa,
each county gets what is coming to it
and no more.
We will say that Garfield county
rancher ranges his cattle wholly within
Eagle county. He pays his fees and
the cattle eat their fill. When the
distribution is made, (that is, if the
democrats will ever make it), Garfield
county will get her share of that man g
money and Eagle county will get her
pportionment.
Another feature and it is one that
the democrats have been howling long
and loud about, will come up with the
advent of the Glenwood memorialist s
plans. 1t will be absolutely impossible
for the present clerical force of the de-
partment to handle the matter under
the plan advocated or seemingly ad-
vocated by the Glenwood memoralist.
who, we believe, has buttcd into some
thing about which he is very slightly
Informed. He mus. know that to seq
gregate the amounts received from
each county would require more work
and that means more clerks and the
democrats are bowling about the enor-
nous increase of clerk help under re-
publican rule. The Glenwood memor-
ali t is thus asking for just what he
bowls about when seeking the votes of
the fnchers.
The total receips for the Holy Cross
reserve for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1908, amounted to 2,SO230. OF
this amount, $ls,270.s7 came from tim
ber sales and only $3,s3295 came from
grazing fees. As the gre;ucr part of
the timber F;llcs come from outside
which is not in Napier's senatorial dis
trict, it means that under the Glen
wood memorialist S pan our road and
school funds will not be swelled to amy
very great extent, by the money sent
back by the forest department. In
fact, under the Glenwood memorialist $
(otherwise known as "Mr. Napier'O,
plan, this county would get but very
small amount and if there is a county
IN htc state that needs good roads, that
county is Garfield. But no one has ever
accused Barney of being loyal to his
home county.
There has been another idea advanc-
ed on the streets since it was learned
that the mcmorialist was doing over
time in Denver. AS one man stated it
Tuesday: "Why, it looks to me as if
Barney had been led astray by some fell
when he mcmorializes that way Why.
we want all the money for this county
that we can get, but under this plan,
we will get Just what he gave Glen
wood i'll the way of n Normal school
and you all know what that was. Any
one knows that our roads are bad, but
there are very few people in the county
who are not just as anxious for good
schools as they are to have the county
commissioners handle the money that
would revert to us from the forest de-
partment. i agree that there are some
bad features in the forest department,
but if the democrats are sincere in their
efforts to better conditions, why in the
name of common sense did they not
vote at once to bring Pinchot to Den
yer as DeLong wanted them to do?
1t begins to look to me as if Barney
and the re+ of them sorter bullyragged
us last fall and now mean to throw us
down entirely, but then l have heard
that Barney was that sort By the way
| heard the other day that he was 60
ing to run for governor two years from
now if Bob Speer runs things to suit
him in this legislature, and / guess
Bob will make good. Well, for my
part. / would rather have the distribu
tion of forestry fees made under pres
ent plans than to change them as Bar
ney says he wants to do. But first
let IS distribute what s already in Den
yer that belongs to us.'
