In yesterday mornings Denver
News there was an extended inter-
view with James U. Harris. formerly
county commissioner of Mesa county
who while still residing here and
holding much property here, is look
ing after mining interests in the
Silver Plume district. Mr.. Harris
was in Denver this week on his way
from a visit with his family in this
city to his mining properties. In
part the interview is as follows;
Eastern bankers with cattle loans
have been frightened out of their
wits by the reports of wholesale star
walton in the cattle herds. and the
result is seen in Colorado's financial
circles. says Harris.
The cattlemen of Colorado, said
Harris. have been up against a hard
proposition this year because of the
early SHOWS, but they are doing ALI
in their power to get feed, and are
succeeding in our section of the state.
Ballantine & Beggs. one of the big
gest firms raising cattle on the west
ern slope. were particularly men
toned in the report of a humane so
| ciety agent as losing cattle by the
hundred. and the agent made so
much of the story that he compelled
the cattlemen to ship their stock to
more sheltered locality and furnish
| feed.
| know all about this PROPOSE
tion. and l want to say that the cars
| for the shipment of these cattle We're
ordered before the humane society
agent appeared on the ground, and
| Messrs. Ballantine & Beggs had al
ready spent thousands of dollars in
buying feed for their herds. They
have spent more than $4,000 for hay
this winter. and their cattle are pull
ing through in good shape. II is
true the stock were footsore and
weary from drifting before the storm
before being driven into the feed
corrals, but they were cared for to
the best possible advantage. And
very few head were lost, none
through negligence.
"The action of Ballantine & Beggs
in buying feed had been followed by
all the cattlemen of the western
slope, and the loss is going to be
light The stories of scarcity of feed
and cattle starving by the thousand
is nightmare. and such stories
should not be spread broadcast to the
detriment of the business interests o
the state There will be no whole
sale starvation in the cattle herds o
. Colorado this winter, the State Hu
name Society to the contrary not

Clerks of Treasury May Be
Put Through Grueling
Examination.
TWOFOLD REASON
FOR ASKING QUERY
Wealthy Employees May Be Stricken
From Rolls to Make Room
For Needy.
How much are YOU worth ,.


This Is another Of the questions that
may be asked OF the Treasury clerks if
the Secretary decides to submit q new
set Of questions TO the employees Of the
Department in his search for informa-
tlon 10 put the service on q new running
basis
The information Is said to be desired
FOR two reasons. First TO know II the
clerks are saving anything and TO know
II their salaries are sufficient for them
TO nut away anything to keep the wolf
from the door when they are incapaci-
tatsd from work by old age, and sec
ondly if there are any millionaires or
m1Honairesses on the pay roll who are
Just working for the fun of the thing
and keeping some poor deserving cres-
ture, who really needs the work 70 give
him his daily bread, out Of job
Tt is generally known that there are
many clerks not dependent upon Uncle
Sans pay envelope for sUstenance. but
could live very comfortable of Of their
incomes from other sources. It is not
intended to give the impression that
any one could become very wealthy of
OF salary paid by the Government, but
clerks that have fallen heir TO money
10 make them independent for life have
held on TO their positions after coming
into possession OF il. Other clerks have
become well Of through investments
and speculations. but still keep their
positions in the department. It is
thought HAT II the Secretary should
find that 4 clerk Is particularly wen
fixed in the coin OF the realm, that some
way would be devised to have his posi-
ton hlIeG by some one outside OF the
service less fortunate. The answers to
the questions are a matter Of honor,
and are Tot considered as a sworn state
ment
Secretary shaw when he was at the
head OF the Treasury. several years
ago. asked pre<ty much the same aues-
ton. but did not get much satisfac-
ton. Mary of the clerks declined TO
~Fake the matter seriously. and many
amusing answers we're given to the
query. Oae young fellow replied 10 the
question Of how much he was worth
by saying that it would depend upon
the market price OF eggs.
The question, Are YOU married p
which 1t IS said may also be asked tho
clerks, Is rot worrying any. for IL has
Teen asked on several previous occa-
sionsi and nothing OF particular inn
poTtance happened after the answers
we're hle5.
