WILL CHOOSE NEW s1sHop.

A call has been issued by Bishop Tut
tie, of St Louis, presiding Bishop of the
Episcopal church in this country, for
special meeting of the House of
Bishops, to be held in New York on
February 10.
The meeting is called primarily for
the purpose of choosing successor to
the late Bishop Knight, of this dis
trict, and also to choose a successor
to the Bishop of Wyoming, who died
last year.
But, as bishops of missionary dis
tricts are chosen by the House of Bish-
ops alone, comprising membership Of
about 100 church dignitaries, the call
ing of special meeting of the Bishops
is a comparatively easy matter, and
signatures were obtained from twelve
Bishops, which were all that are re-
quired for such call.
Urgent need for the selection of a
Bishop for these districts, and especi-
ally for our own district of Western
! Colo. was felt because of the thorough
organization effected by Bishop Knight
in this district, and all interested were
of the opinion that while the work
would continue to a certain degree,
| it would be better advanced by the
early appointment of new Bishop.
Little is known as to the probable
choice of the convention. Rev. John
Oil, of Grand Junction, is understood
to be candidate, and another candl
date is talked of in the person of
Clergyman now engaged in missionary
work in North Dakota, and former
cassmate in the theological seminary
of Bishop Knight and of Bishop spald-
ing, of Salt Lake.

FORESTER RILEY ANSWERS CHARGES

Those who are opposed to the pre-
serving of the forests in the west are
losing no time in making false charge
against the forest officials A few days
ago, the report was started that the
poison used to kill praprie dogs, kills
all the song birds. This caused Smith
Riley of Denver to answer the charge
through the Denver Republican. Mr.
Riley's letter is as follows:
Ny attention has been called to an
article in your edition of Dec. 90. sign
cd by D. C. Beaman, Denver, relative
to the destruction of birds, by the
poisoned wheat which was distributed
last spring over large areas infested
by prairie dogs for the purpose of ex-
terminating the latter.
| have no desire AT all to discredit
in any way any statements which are
made by Mr.. Beaman, which, if true,
certainly indicate that a change in the
methods employed by the service to ex-
terminate the prairie dog pests should
be made l shall, however refer to sew
craL phases of the matter which evil
IDENTIFY have escaped Mr.. Beaman's at
tention in his consideration of the sub
je"t.
1t is a known fact that the birds to
which he refers, doves, robins, ETC., are
migratory in character, wintering in
New Mexico and farther southwark,
and seldom appearing in Colorado un'
til several weeks of warm weather have
melted the snow and started the vege-
tation, on the contrary, however, prairie
dogs come out at the first sign Of warm
sunshiny weather, and often on warm
days during the winter. At the time
they first emerge the grass upon which
they live has not started and they have
to rustic to find anything to cat. This
is the time which was determined as
being the best to scatter the poisoned
wheat, since it is known that they will
pass such food by if there is plenty of
green grass for them. It is planned to
spread poisoned wheat on the ground
before the robins, bluebirds and doves
appear in the vicinity; and, az a rule
; these birds will build their nests in
trees near water and will seldom go
out on dry benches which the prairie
dogs infcst, to find food. It is true
that birds were found dead after be-
ing poisoned by tho wheat which was
ret out for the prairie dog but to my
personal knowiedse, they were few y
number and cpnsisted rstAsr Of that

MRS. o. B. FLEMING.

Once more has the death angel swept
down and carried away the spirit of
one dear to the people Of this county.
Mrs. o. B Fleming, wife of theprincipal
of the Grand Valley schools and herself
. teacher in the institution, died Sun
cay. after few days illness with
typhoid fever. She was near the for
tietll milestone in her life and during
that time she has endeared herself to
people all over the county.
The funeral was held Tuesday in
Rife to which place the body was tax
IN from the home in Grand Valley ami
was largely attended by friends bo.h
Toung and old.
Mrs. Fleming was well known by
Glenwood people, having taught in the
local schools some time ago. And when
the report reached here Monday morn
ing that death had claimed her, more
than one of her friends recalled some
act of kindness performed while with
MS. She was ever striving to assist her
husband in his work of lettering the
schools and it is largely due to theiI
united effort that Garfield county has
such good schools.

GOVERNMENT SETTLES CLAIM

A special to the Pueblo Chieftain or
Tuesday says:
Reports from Washington are to the
effect that William Radcliffe the Eng
l:shnan whose fish hatcheries were de-
s,royed by n mob in 1901 has been re-
irhursed. The report indicated the
closing of one of the most unique Incl
rcnts in Colorado's history. Radcliffe
was an Englishman living IN tn" mesa
in Mesa county. He controlled n num-
Ter of lakes and refused to allow the
residents of the western slop, to fish
therein. The lakes were stocked parti-
ally by fish from tn state hatcheries.
He employed man by the name of
Mrhaney to guard his lakes and ap-
pointed him deputy sheriff. One day
W. W. Womick went out to thc lakes
to fish and Mahaney killed him while
trying to drive him out of the premises.
The killing so aroused the anger of the
western slope people that the second
night threafter mob went to the ranch
of Radcliffe, burned his houses and barn
and destroyed his fish hatchery and al
lowed all the young fish to float down
the stream. Notices were posted tell
ing Radcliffe that he would be hung if
he appeared in that section of the state.
Although the members Of the mob ware
known TO everybody, the leader being
now dead, no attempt was made to
punish anyone. The sentiment in west
ern Colorado was to the effect that the
action was about right. Radclif re
turned to England and filed claim for
100000 After all these years
settlement has been reached Of 5000
and today's reports are to the effect
that congress has appropriated tho
money and that it will be paid.

class of birds which spend the winter in
Colorado, namely, magpies, owls, etc.
Last year the service, through the
work of its agents, at very conserva-
tive estimate killed 100000 prairie dogs
on a area of 10000 acres in South Park
Colo. 1t is stated in a reprint from the
Year Book, United States department
of agriculture, for 1901, entitled
Prairie Dogs of the Great Plains, -
by C. Mart Merriam, that 256 prairie
dogs destroy grass which could other
wise be utilized to range one head of
stock. 1t is not very difficult, there
fore. to figure out that if the farmers
South Park desire to increase their
total number of stock by 400 head
there will be ample range for such
stock, not available before, on account
of the destruction of grass by the dogs.
That the policy of the service in this
work has met with great favor by those
directly interested, namely, the stock.
men. is evidenced by the large number
of letters on file in this office urging
the service to continue this work along
this line and requesting the recipe of
the poisoned wheat enable the ranch.
men themselves to take up the work.
Unless very strong evidence is pre-
scnted to the contrary to show that the
destruction of birds is so great as to
offset the vast economic gain to stock
men whose interests heretofore have
suffered considerably by the ravages of
the dogs, the work of the service in
the determination of this pest will be
, taken up with energy during tho com,
ing spring.
1t will not be necessaryfor the forest
service to issue bulletin announcing
Mr.. Beaman a discovery of the effect
of heavy gas in killing prairie dogs,
as the biological survey mentioned this
fact in its bulletins. "Prairie Dogs of
the Great Plains" issued in 1901, also
"Dcstruction of Prairie Dogs" issued
in 1908.

Little babes were crushed beneath the

were left lifeless and babes made or

According to press reports and dis
patches from Rome and other Italian
cities, the disaster was without para
lei in history.
In Reggie and Messina alone, no.
600 people were killed. At Palmi sew
eral thousands more were killed, while
all the other nearby towns in the quake
zone report thousands killed and the
death list still growing because of
hunger, thirst and the terrors, which
have caused the people to be turned in
maniacs.
The American consul and wife were
both killed. Other Americans may
have been visiting in that section, but
if so, their names have not been re-
ported.
Every country on the globe is rush
ing supplies to the suffering Italians.
The United States supply ship, which
was to have carried Christmas cheer
to our boys of the Atlantic feet is
well on her way from New York with
