He contends that it is not only in the
interest of the entryman to give him an
opportunity to disprove the correctness
of the classification, after allowing his
entry, but it is also to the interest Of
the government because of the fact that
the CLASSIFYING parties will be more care
full in their classifcations if satisfied
that they are likely to be challenged.

original $5, 5000 due Larimer County.
I'm summing up it will be seen that
the new county starts out with clean
slate, free from all debt, and has, from
the three sources named, roughly speak.
ing, $21 ,OOO. 90 to cover running expenses
from June 1st to Dec. 3lst 1000. But
it must he kept in mind that portion
of this sum belongs to the two school
funds, and is therefore not available for
general expenses; and portion goes to
the State (the-State portion of taxes is
paid in monthly instalments and conse.
quently part is still due). As to the
probable expenditures for the same
period, the Board hoped by this date to
be able to make some sort of an estimate,
but it is found impossible, for many of
the items cannot be fairlyguessed at as
yet. But it is evident to everyone that
the initial period must be one of very
heavy expense. The transcript of re-
cords, an eutire system of high priced
books, and the other absolute necessities
of county government, together with an
extra hard season on public roads, make
a very costly combination, but the good
condition of the treasury makes hope
possible that the county may be able to
get through the year without overdraw-
ing its account; and the Board of COM
missioners are making every effort to
bring this hope to fulfillment And if
this can be done there is every reason to
believe that, in the years to follow, the
new county government can bring a.
bout a decrease, rather than an increase
in the burdens of the taxpayers"
At the close of the report Mr.. Case ex-
planned informally THAT the commission
ers have rented for the coming year,
rooms with fire proof vault in the Mos
man block at an expense of $25. 90 a
month including janitor work, an item
of about $1,000 a month otherwise,
making very comfortable and econom-
ically supplied quarters, and giving
exclusive use of the only fire proof vault
in town outside the bank safes.

Chairman Case opened the business

the fact that there are discrepancies in
the returns made by different owners of
practically similar land which it is the
duty Of the County Commissioners to
adjust. He informed the meeting that

many of the county assessments and is
expected to raise many of them, and
that perfectly fair adjustment of the

TAXPAYERS
MEETING
IMPORTANT MATTERS IN CON
HECTI0N With COUNTY
FINANCES DISCUSSED
At the call of the County Commission
ers the Taxpyers Of Jackson Coun-
ty last Monday assembled at the
l.. O. 0. F. hall in Walden to dis
cuss affairs Of County.

The meeting was opened by Chairman
Case of the Board of County Commits
sioners with the following report of the
conduct of the county business to date:
Mr.. Ease said in part:
'sThe joint Boards of commissioners
OF Larimer and Jackson Counties, in
their meeting at Fort Collins for the
arbitration of division matters, decided
on June 1st, 1909, as the date of separa-
tion OF the two counties; and Jackson
Copnty agreed to accept cash to the
amount of s., S,3s5.23 in full settlement
OF all claims against Larimer County at
that date. This sum was arrived ut by
taking North Parks share of the total
revenues Of Larimer County and de-
ducting therefrom the expenses proper
ly ohargeable to the new county, but
number of factures entered into the
settlement which made it far more
favorable to the new county than might
easily have been the case, for in divi
sion of this sort the new county has
practically no legal status whatever.
"Out Of this s., 1856. 90 jackson County
paid its share of the bonded indebted
nees of Larlmer County. taking the lat
er's release for the same; so that the net
amount due jackson County on June
LIST, Iao9. was 50, 6,089. %, of which S5s7. 90
belonged to the General School Fund,
and 81. .S5S 55 to the Special School Fund
Through an error in the Larimer County
Treasurer's office the school funds were
later changed somewhat in favor Of
Jackson County.
THE new county assumed its own
tax roll on June list, and will handle its
own delinquent taxes in the fall, bnt by
agreement between the two Treasurers
the collections will be made by Larimer
County for the time being, since this
method simplities the work required of
these two officers. The tax roll of this
county for this year assessment of 19Os)
amounts to approximately S25, ,OOO 90 of
which possibly half was paid on June
lst The balance will come into the
treasury of Jackson County.
In addition to these sources of rev.
enue the new county was fortunate
enough to obtain its full share of the
forest funds lately distributed among
the several Forest Reserve counties The
word fortunate is used because the orig
inal distribution was made in Washing
ton time when there was no jackson
County and if Iarimer Countys share
had gotten into its treasury. the new
county would have been entitled to only
n per cent of the amount. AS it was,
the amount due Iarimer County was
held in the state treasury temporarily,
and by agreement of the Boards distri-
button was made on the forest area
basis by the District Forester. The re-
suit is gratifying to Jackson County, as
the Forest Service allows it a forest
area of AL, 14a acres, which gives it
share amounting to S2.49a la of the

Of The present total sufficiently in all
probability to avoid such action of the
State Board in our own case.
The matter Of considering as basis
the amount of hay produced in assessing
meadow lands was put by Mr.. Case to
the meeting for discussion in connec.
tion with this matter Of fair equaliza-
ton. This proposition met with ami.
mated discussion pro and con in the
course Of which it became clear that
the principal objections were to the pro.
duction of the land..as sole basis and
support crystallized in favor of produc-
tion as good general basis of estimat.
ing the value of property.
The business of the meeting closed
with resolution unani mously adopted
as follows:
ut is the sense Of this meeting that
the County Commissioners should pro.
ceed to equalize the assessments as best
they can with all the information at
their disposal"
Thereafter by request resolution
was put before the ranchmen of the
meeting on privilege granted by the
chairman. endorsing the movement in
in town for Sunday closing of all
business houses There was the custom-
ary support of such action and one
quite able remark on tho part of
prominint ranchman that he considers
whether business houses in town do this
or that, of a lawful character none of
his business and he refuses to interfere.
The motion was put voting aye, 1
voting no and all the rest present not

Washington. July 13.-In the past
few days Congressman Mondell has
taken up with the interior department
some important questions relating to
the administration of the land laws
Tho Burden Of Proof.
The first of these questions relates to
the force and effect which should be
given to coal classifcati"ns made by the
geological survey. Formerly the de-
partment held that, though land might
have been returned by the geological
survey as coal land, and classified as
such, yet this classification did not pre-
vent the filing of an agricultural entry
for instance, u homestead on such lands,
it being understood, of course, that en-
trymsn in cases of this kind being
charged with knowledge of the fact
that the government had, after examin-
alton, declared the lands to be valuable
for coal, the burden Of proof rested up
on him to prove its non coal character.
CIasslfio alton In Error.
Under this policy, agricultural entries
were occasionally made on lands-which
had been classified as coal, the same be-
ing in cases where the entryman was
satisfied that the classification was in

opportunity to apply for hearing to

Not Entitled to Stan ding.

This change of policy, Mr.. Mondell
contends. is contrary to the long estab-
lished policy Of the government. and
denies entrymen right to which they
are entitled under the law, by giving
the classification of the geological sur
vey q standing and effect to which it is
not entitled.

 The Greens Committee has not def initely formulated its plans yet, but it is their intention to arrange the contest so that the least skiIlful golf players will be assured of taking one of these cups and will have an even chance with the best player in the club to take both.
 The new professiona, Willie Marsh all of Chicago, has arrived and has already taken a keen interest in team golf at the club. He is a pleas ant fellow and is very anxious to meet all the club members.

CHERRY DISASTER Is IMPOSSIBLE
 IN B|SBEE

Bisbee and the Warren district. as we'll as the whole outside world, stood aghast at the news of the terrible disaster which in day turned Cherry, H., from a prosperous coal mining camp into a home of nearly a thou sand sorrowing, frantic widows and orphans.
 To not a few of the local people occurred the thought: Could this happen in the Warren district?''
 After careful investigation the Re view is able to answer most em- rhatically -No."
 With the exception Of one or two shafts, operated by the smaller com panies. every mine in the district is connected by a chain of exits which would allow the escape of all under ground employees. It would be pos sible, should a disaster occur at the Czar mine. to traverse one of the sew eral routes open and come up through the s. & P. shafts at South Bisbec, the C. & A. shafts or any of the many C. c. shafts. In fact, unless few men were cut off in an isolated drift there would be no chance of the grim reaper gathering a toll from among the employees.
 Such a disaster as was experienced at the St. Paul mine at Cherry would be an impossibility in this district, said Superintendent Parker Woodman Of the Copper Queen yesterday. The Denn Arizona. Warren and Wolverine workings are the only ones not con- nected by a series of underground workings. In fact, should an acei- dent of any magnitude occur under ground the men would have their choice of five or six modes of egress at most of the shafts.
 Say an accident at the Czar caus- ed the shaft to be blocked, the men brook, Spray, Gardner, Lowell, Uncle Sam of our company. or the Oliver, Junction, Irish Mag of the c. & A, or through the Hoatson or Briggs shafts Of the s. & P. Company at South Bisbee. Or, again, they could go up through the Shattuck-Arizona mine, which is connected with the Czar at the 200 level. reaching the Shattuck SOO level and going safely to the sur face
 Tn fact, it would be hard to find camp or distriqu better protected against disaster than is this. or course we could not prevent condi- tions whereby, in event of general disaster. a few men might get killed, but anything like a general disaster because of miners being confined in a burning shaft is next to impossible.
 -There is 10 likelihood of any great disaster ever coming to the mines of this district from such causes as conditions are entirely ol1ierent and there is no gas found wnlcn mlsnt explode. igniting the timDers
