THE FORESTRY INVESTIGATION

The wisest action we have yet heard
of relative to the national forest meas
ures, provided any action is necessary,
is that recently taken by Senator Gug-
genheim calling for an investigation by
congressional commission, with a re-
port of their findings to congress.
The commission will be charged with
the duty of making careful inquiry into
the control and administration of ma
tional forests, sales of timber, mining
leases and concessions, grazing permits,
and similar matters. 1t will hold meet
ings at convenient places, in states con-
tanning national forests for the purpose
of hearing complaints, statements, and
suggestions from residents of such
states, and will be required to make
report to congress by December next,
pointing out the faults and advantages
of the precsnt administration and rec
ommending changes it necessary.
In case of the appointment of such
commission the people will he given the
opportunity to present their grievances
and to suggest notifications of the
present laws and regulations.
The Post hopes that our people who
have grievances against the present
system will make definite and specific
to. the commission so that
they may fully understand the situa.
tion. Cut out all abusive reference to
Mr.. Pinchot and President Roosevelt.

LET US HOPE

The Post likes the tone of a state
ment made by E. NJ. Ammons concern
ing the needs of our agricultural col
lege. There has been so much trouble
at the college the past few years that
it will seem good to have the school
take its place among the agricultural
mons promises it shall do in so far as
he is able to bring things to pass.
Here is Ammons' statement:
"The agricultural college is in class
by itself and must be kept in that class
and it must be made a strictly agricul-
tural school. l do not believe in over
looking the culture of the students, of
course, but culture can come to the stu
dents in a strictly agricultural school l
have travelled for years over the state,
have attended farmers institutes, talk
ed with farmers and ranchmen and
livestock men, and 1 know that they
| want a real agricultural college. This
college should foster scientific farming
and irrigation, live stock breeding and
the growing of fruit and while l am
on the board | will try to make it do
these things
But the trouble is Ammons is four
flusher-a politician pure and simple.
The Post man has heard during the
past few years so much of Ammons
play to the galleries that we must con
fess we are obliged to take MS state
ments with few grains of salt The
sentiment, however, is commendable,
and here S hoping you may maze good

PEOPLE SHOULD WALK MORE

| Edward Weston, who will celebrate
his seventeen birthday March 18th, by
starting to walk from New York to
San Francisco IN 100 days, may be the
leader in a great movement that will
spread over the entire country.
Doctors of today tell us that people
of today are not walking as much as
they should. This applies especially to
| the people living in the large cities,
| where the street cars arc resorted to if
/ party wishes to go more than couple
! of blocks. In the smaller towns, and in
the rural districts the people do a
great deal of walking, but even so, the
doctors say they do not do enough.
If reports are to believed the fad of
walking will be taken up all over the
country. Walking parties, taking a
iaunt of a mile or two before break
fast, will be the order, while the after
noon and evening stroll will be far
more common than at present With
Weston at the age of seventy trying to
break all records across the continent,
and he being in the best of health,
there should be some proof positive to
the timid that his scheme of walking is
a good one.
1t is said that steady, consistent
walking is a cure all for nearly all ills,
and that the brain is made clearer and
the nerves steadier, OF course there are
many who will not take up the plan of
early morning walking, but if they will
do the stunt some time during the day
they will be made healthier
There is no place in the country
where an early morning walk can be
enjoyed as much as here in Glenwood,
and it is believed the visitors to the
city the coming season will organize
many more parties than in the past.
If the fad is started Glenwood should
not lose an opportunity of Advertising
her beautiful canons and mountain
trails.

We are. taking minerals from the
earth to the value of $2,O00,0Oo,000
year, but there is left in sight, (so the
engineers say, though it is hidden,)
l,40o, 900, 100000 tons of coal.
There is in sight about 4,O0O,oO0,000
tons of iron ore, which will supply rails
and structures for some time to come.
We are using 1900 pounds of iron
per capita and about five tons Of coal.
Our timber supply is not so good, but
fortunately it is not so great necessity
as formerly. We are using more than
three times as much timber as is replac-
ed by natural growth.
But the most serious outlook is for
the farmer, or rather, for those depend
ent upon the farmer. We must have
more farms, or more average yield to
the acre, or we shall be on short ra-
tions. In a few years it is estimated
that we will have none whatever to ship
abroad. Our hens supply us with three
and half billions of eggs year, but
those who buy them know how short the
crop is compared with the demand.
And the lesson of all this is that we
must waste less, must he more thrifty
and do more to conserve our resources
against the day when posterity rises
up and curses us. An unpleasant thing
to contemplate, even if we shall not be
in. a position to hear the nasty things
said about us.-Philadelphia Enquirer

NAPIER AND THE LAWS

In Wednesday issue of the Ava
lanche appears letter purported to be
written by w. w. Seamens, of Grand
Valley. In this letter, Mr.. Barney Ma
pier, our state senator, is called upon
to keep a prediction promise regard
ing commission houses that he made to
the farmers in order that he might GET
their votes.
Under the letter the Avalanche gives
more space to tell of the law that was
already on the statute books of the
state, but Barney is willing to try to
put through another if the present one
is not drastic enough.
The question naturally arises, "Did
anyone ever complain to the local au-
thorities of the terrible hardships the
commission men work on the farmers?"
1t is dollars to doughnuts no one ever
did aH
Another question comes up: "Did
Barney knew before the last election
that there was a law against the com
mission men on the statute books of the
state?' If he did not was he giving
the farmers square deal when he did
not look into the matter and enlighten
them in the real conditions? We be-
lieve Mr.. Napier knew the law referred
to in the Avalanche was on the books
and that he took advantage of the farm
ers and by silence made them believe
that by voting for him they would get
what they wanted. 1t may be that the
farmers of this county will learn Barney
Napier as has Col. b. F. Montgomery
of Rio Blanco county and who gave
Barney such a raking over in the SEN
atorial convention held here last year.
If they ever do, it is ira la to Barney.

THE JOURNEY

A little work, little sweating,
few brief, flying years: a little joy, a
little fretting, some smiles and then
some tears; little resting in the shade
a struggle to the height, futile search
for FL Dorado, and then we say Good
Night. Some moling in the strife and
clangor, some years of doubt and debt,
some words we spoke in foolish anger,
that we would fain forget: some words

heart light, the banquet with tho feast
and drinking-and then we say Good
Night. Some questioning Of creeds and

STATE RESOURCES AND
NATIONAL CONSERVATION

The agitation in Colorado against the
National conservation policy and es
pecially agains. the forestry admins
tration, is largely made up of partisan
malice and corporation greed, but it has
a foundation of justice and there is
room for some reasonable complaint.
1t is characteristic of the Democratic
party in Colorado and elsewhere that
It is always ready to take up any
cause, however unreasonable, which
seems likely to appeal to the passing
fancy of the people, and TO employ all
the arts of the demagogue to stir up
public feeling without any regard to
the public interests involved. To raise
4 big commotion against the petty an
noyances of the forest administration,
and to make unthinking people believe
that their rights are being invaded by
All aggressive federal government fitted
well with the democratic plan of cam
oaign, and possibly was responsible for
A few votes added to the Democratic
count at the last election.
But there was far more to the anti
forestry movement than a skillful polit-
zeal move.
The Chiefsain has already pointed out
how this agitation against the forest re
serves and the conservation policy or
iginated not with the plain people
farmers and miners and others-but
with the powerful corporations that
were striving to monopolize the natural
resources of the state for their own
profit and with timber cutters and cat
lie parons that were despoiling the
publ lands without regard to future
needs or public interests, it is easy
enough to see why such persons were
lesirous of prolonging the policy of dis
sipasion, and another powerful reason
for their activity is to be found in the
recent efforts of the government to pun
isl those concerned in wholesale frauds
AID perjuries in connection with the
cual and foreft lands of the west. As
4 result of those frauds some of the
most Influential men of the west are
n)w fighting TO save themselves from
liprisonment and to prevent the gov
2 nmcnt from regaining the immensely
valuable lands they have secured by
criminal acts.

A CERTAIN countryman in a certain
village was in the habit of spending his
evenings and, incidentally, his earnings,
at the village tavern. AS the joviality
of the evening progressed toward the
small n"irs. and the jolly good fell.ws
in thc tsp room grew less and les lis
timer to each o.hcr in the muddiei.
,mofefilled atmosphere, the heart OF
the countryman, so warm and congeniai
to his fellow topers around him, would
begin to nourish a peculiar ferocity to-
wards a picture which would persist in
intruding itself upon the festive scene
the picture of woman waiting up
at home, with no jolly good fellows, no
.nebriating liberty to cheer her lonlill
ness. Strangely enough this picture
did not inspire pity or remorse, but in.
stead sullen anger against the wan
figure seated under the patient lamp
mending the children IS clothes. Why
did this wife sit up for him in that way
and thus intrude her tiresome long suf-
fering upon his conscience, Why on
earth couldn't she get to bed and leave
him unhaunted to his cups and cronies!
But suddenly his darkening mood
would take another turn. Why should
she not sit up for him-her? And as
st last the village revelers would leave
and the lights go out, as he stumbled
homeward through the lanes, precariou3-
ly though skilfully avoiding the bitches
both moods would combine in this par
adoxial formula, which he was invari-
,biy heard to mutter to himself each
evening: off my wife's up wncn .
get home, III beat her; and if shs's
gone to bed III beat her." Thus,
without knowing it he uttered pro-
found axiom of the marital psychology
which will bear much pondering.

WHAT is LOVE?

Speaking editorially under the above
caption the Pueblo Chieftain says
''The news columns of the daily pa
pers have recently contained numerous
stories of crimes said to have been
caused by Glove
Murder and suicide because of jeal-
ousy, murderous assault because some
girl preferred a more sensible man, su-
icide because of some impediment to
marriage, assassination because of
brazen immortality are the 'love'
chimes as they appear in the life mirror
Of the daily press.
"'What is love!
cover near the edge of the mesa is
Il cottage where Il woman works and
watches. Her husband is railroad
man. and he is away from the house
much of the time. The woman is still
young and pretty, but there is only one
woman in the world for that man, and
each one knows in the heart that alb
sence and presence are the same so far
rs their relations toward each other are
concerned.
'On one of the cross streets of the
Centennial district there lives young
couple. He is "A commercial traveller, a

ell is on the road except for few
days every month. He is good fcl-
low with the boys of every town, and
he makes a success Of the business. And
every night just before he turns out the
gas or electric light, or blows out the
lamp, he takes a photograph out of his
pocket and kisses it, and asks Someone
to be good to Dot and the baby
Across the street there lives II young
widow. She has a good many friends,
and is bright and cheerful. She does
not wear black or talk about her
troubles, and she has found something
to do that keeps her busy and that
helps to make the world little bit
happier for her presence. And while
she seldom talks about it to anyone,
and then only to her most intimate
friends, she is dominated and controlled
by the belief that there never will be
and never can be anyone to take the
place of the one who came into her life
and dropped out of it so soon.
Perhaps you know of other cases.
maybe of sick wife who requires of
her husband daily ministrations. that

and most constant affection; maybe an
unsuccessful husband in whose behalf
an endless patience and self sacrifice
must be given.
Love- means so many different
things to so many different persons that
he would indeed be bold man that
would undertake to say what love is, or
is not.
"But, somehow, it does not seem to
the Chieftain that the love that really
amount to something and is worth while
is the kind that sends a man out to
shoot a woman on the street or that in
duces a man to drink whiskey, or that
leads a woman to do any of the numer-
Gus things that brings her name into
prominence in connection with the di-
vorce courts, or murder trials"

FINDS FLAW IN FRUIT LAW

J. F. Myser, horticultural inspector
for this county, was in this city Mon
day TO talk fruit trees and frait tree
law to the county commissioners.
According to statements made here
that dav. he has found a big flaw in
the fruit spraying law of this state.
He said that he framed the bill, which,
when it left his hands, called for all
nursery men to pay for the disinfect-
ing of trees shipped into the state, and
sold by state dealers. He says that the2
bill was all right the last he saw of it,
but that during the months that
followed its passage by the last legis-
lature, some fellow got busy and took,
out the words, which left in the bill,
would compel out-of the state nursery
men to pay for the disenfecting of the
Young trees they sold to Colorado fruit
raisers. This left the Colorado nursery
men to do the work, and the other feli,
low was allowed to escape the expense
What Mr.. Myser wants to know
whether this county will stand for
underhand deal and go to the expe
of erecting buildings, hiring men to
infect the trees shipped in from
side states, or take some step that
prevent other than home nursery
selling their stuff in the county.
1t is well known that many of
tree diseases are brought into the
| by outside concerns paving too
attention to disinfecting their prod'
| This works hardship on the u
from start to finish. No fruit
wants any of the tree Diseases
spread in his orchard nor does he I
! he orchard of another man to sp
diseases into it, but if Mr.. MysS
correct and there is no law against{
side concerns shipping in diseased 81
there will be some tall old kicking
he fruit men find it ont, and it =
dollars to doughnuts that the Colorady
nurserymen will profit by the absence
of the words referred to. And why
not? They have their money invested
in the state, and if we are to spend
Colorado money in Colorado, why not
buy fruit trees of local dealers? After
all the fellow that left out the words
may have done a great good for the
Colorado nurserymen.
BY taking this view of the affair, the
question becomes more than eyer puz-
zling, and instead of local men suffer
ing. people will turn to them for their
trees and the foreign fellows will be
given cold shoulder.
