The Board of Control

Auo 0OdIu VI SOutlOl
An outline prepared for the financial
support of the Board of Trade, and the
re election of IL. G. Overlook as secre-
tary of the board. was the work per
formed by the newly elected board of
control at its meeting last Monday
afternoon.
That the meetings of this important
body-the real working section of our
Board of Trade, are to be business like,
was well demonstrated by the session.
Every member was on hand at the hour
set, and while each matter was given
thorough discussion, Chairman Lee held
the discussion down to the subject un-
der consideration until it was disposed
of.
C. NJ. Keck and J. C. Schwarz were
| named as committee to arrange for
quarters for the Farmers Union con
vention this month. No action was
taken regarding the program for the
open meeting of this convention to be
| held on the night of March Is, as the
matter has already been taken up by
Mayor Drach and President Lang of
the Farmers Union, but Chairman Lee
of the board of control was given au-
thority to take any steps that may be
necessary on behalf of the Board of
Trade.
The question of finances having been
left to the discretion of the board of
control, it was determined to put the
general membership fee at so cents a
month, and for business houses in town
it is to be 81 month. For the latter
fee there will be special advantages.
One Of these is membership card which
is to be displayed in the stores and
Offices of members. A gift of mere
card does not appear to be great in
ducement to the additional fee, but
there are benefits attached to it. One
of these is system which it is believed.
from the experience of Grand Junction
and other cities which are using the
system, will save the business men
many more dollars than the cost. This
is a system for investigating advertis-
ing and charity solicitors. business
man who is solicited by such people
simply refers them to the secretary,
who will investigate their scheme and
the credentials shown. and will issue
letter giving the result of this investi-
slider the application of any solicitor
until he produces these credentials
from the secretary. 1t is very low
estimate to state that on an average
every merchant in this town hands out
$25 year to solicitors for advertising
schemes or for charity, who have only
fake schemes to present, but who get
away with their propositions because
tho merchants hand over dollar or
tso rather than take the trouble to in |
vestigate. By adopting this system,
one investigation will provide informa-
tion for every merchant in town and
will weed out the many unworthy
schemes which are supported merely
because they are cheap.
Yet another benefit that will be of
value to the merchants is that folder |,
is being planned for general distribu-
tion, giving information about the
town, and in this will be published a
list Of all the business houses in town
who take out membership.
It was decided to hold evening meet
ing Of the board hereafter. They will |
be held at o'elock and an announce

TAKES ISSUE WITH
CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR
Continued from page one)


Can you point out, any such specific
areas! If you can, even If they aggre-
gate only $4,000 acres, 1 should be
much obliged to you if you would tell
me where they are, so that l could take
up the question of getting them out of
the reserves myself, and make prac-
vice.
On page 10 of your speech, / notice
that you say: ''Instead of eliminat
ing any of it, the forest service is des-
perately clamoring to have nearly one
half million acres more added to the
forest reserves Are you not mistak-
en- AS To this? 1 understand that for
about year Investigations have been
going on, with view to making elm
nations. and that as a result the local
office has already recommended the
elimination of some 900 acres from
the reserves of Colorado. / also under
stand that this recommendation will
be approved by the forester at Wash-
ingtou and probably will be acted upon
by the president.
| tell you this because you doubtless
want to be fair to the service, and will
if your investigation proves me correct
in this particular, be glad to say In the
House that you were wrong on this
point and unwittingly did the service
an injustice. The representatives and
the people of the east do not see the
forest service working every day as
We do, so it is especially important that
on questions of fact relating to the
service in operation we of the west be
correct.
On page II of your speech you say,
THAT agricultural land is not needed
within the forest reserves for any le-
sitimate purpose. 1t will produce im-
nense crops of oats, alfalfa, timothy,
potatoes, small fruit, and many other
products. And you also say that the
average elevation of the reserves is
5000 feet. Do you mean to give the
impression that large part of that
land will produce urofitably the crops
You mention, and that such crops can
be so produced at an altitude of 1900
feet?
l have for good many years had
ranch in the mountains ON the eastern
slope about 80 miles from Denver. at
an altitude of about S,400 feet. Oats
grow well there, though the yield of
grain is small per acre, and it is gener
ally best to cut the stuff for feed SO as
to avoid the early fall SHOWS that very
frequently partly ruin the crop, if We
try to let the grain ripen. Potatoes do
fairly well, though frost practically de-
stroys the crop at least once in three
years. Timothy does well every year.
Small fruits / have not tried extensive
ly. nor seen tried anywhere in the high
hills. Alfalfa SO far i and my neigh
bors have been unable to raise. This
last would be valuable crop to us, 40
If you know of any method of raising
it at that altitude, which is considera
bly, less than 5000 feet, you would be
doing me and others great service by
telling us what it is. Also any in
formation as to the small fruits that
can be successfully raised at such alti.
tudes, would help out great many of
your mountain farming constituents,
who see in your speech an agricultural
promise to them that they hope you can
fulfill. Yours very truly.

the right arm in human beings is. In
a majority of cases, longer than the
left arm. while. on the contrary, the

Sometimes. however, the relative pro-

very seldom does perfect equality
