BASEBALL TEAM DISBANDS;
NO MORE TO CONQUER

The Grand Junction baseball team
has been officially discharged by the
board of directors, for the simple rea-
son that the Smudgers have defeated
everything in the state and there are
no longer any teams to play. For this
reason, perhaps, as well as any other,
the attendance has been poor and tine
club has not been self supporting
The members of the club are a gem
tlemanly lot of players, and no more
likeable or amiable bunch of good fell
lows were ever gathered together. They
are all players from start to finish; and
it is with no hesitation that the people
of Grand Junction can recommend them
to any other club in the West.
The games this week brought to
close the fastest season of baseball in
the history of the city, but a season
which was not success financially.
It il with sincere regret that the
fans of Grand Junction say good bye
to baseball and to the young men who
have made this city their home for the
past several months and some of them,
years. 1t is hoped that all will secure
berths in fast teams with satisfactory
salaries.-Grand Junction Sentinel.

President Taft's Proclamation E|imin.
ates Several Thousand Acres
From Colorado Reserves
ACCORDING TO PINcHo1's PLAN

River, Battlement Mesa and Routt for
ests are expected in the near future.
The announcement from Washington
concerning the elimination of lands in
Colorado reserves is as follows;
Washington, d. c., June 29.-Thc
president has signed proclamations
eliminating from the Gunnisin nation
al forest, Colorado. 1,195 acres, from
the Cochetopa forest $40 acres and
from the 'Uncompahgre forest 45,4s9
acres. The eliminations are the result
of careful examination made by the
secretary of agriculture last summer,
which showed that the areas excluded
are not needed for forest or watershed
protection.
The lands excluded from the Gun
nison comprise several strips from
onehalf mile to one mile in width, To-
Gated along the exterior boundaries of
the western portion of the forest and
embracing particularly lands which
have agricultural possibilities. The
most extensive and important of the
changes affects lands lying along the
western boundary south of the nortu
fork of the Gunnison liver, and along
Minnesota and Reynolds creeks. Also
a few sections have been eliminated
along Smiths Fork and Crystal Creek.
The lands excluded from the Coche-
topa are rolling foo,nills and level
flats along the exterior boundaries of
the southeastern portion of the forest
in three different places
The lands excluded from the Uncom-
pahgre are located in the southeastern
corner of the old Uncompahgre forest,
in San Miguel county. and comprise the
Iron Springs mesa in 7. A, 45 and 46
N. R, 10 and IL W., New Mexico P. NJ.
The territory contains no merchantable
timber of value and is not considered
of Importance from the standpoint of
forest conservation. OF this area, 49,.
$50 acres has already been alienated
through homestead and other entries.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated from the three nation
al forests by these proclamations will
be restored to settlement and will be
restored to settlement and entry after
having been advertised in the local
papers by the secretary of the interior

A WORTHY INSTITUTION

Rev. R. E. Pierce, who is superintend-
ent of the Colorado Children's Home
society, spent Wednesday in Glenwood
in the interests of his society.
This is the organization over which
Rev. W. 8. Rudolph, well known in
Glenwood Springs, has for many years
presided.
The Children's Home society is a
non-sectarian, child-rescue home finding
society, for placing homeless children,
especially babies, in worthy homes for
legal adoption. This society is not an
orphanage. for its purpose and work is
to prevent orphanage, by giving to
every normal, homeless. child its birth
right-a worthy home and mother.
During the past sixteen years this
society has placed 800 children in good
homes or an average of so children a
year. This is splendid work and one
that is worthy of encouragement.
Persons having a baby needing a
home, or families desiring to adopt a
normal, healthy child, of moral parent
age, should write to the superintend
ent, Rev. R. E. Pierce. University Park,
Colo, or visit the Receiving Home"

Anti-P|atform Members Win Out as in
Last Session and Force an
Adjournment Until July 20
SpEER|TES ARE IN CONTROL

Were in the majority. A motion was
therefore made that before the joint
caucus there be held separate caucuses
of the members of the two honses. This
motion was carried, the senate mem
bers, controlled by the anti-platform
crowd, went into caucus, and never
voted to 60 back into joint caucus.
Instead, the resolution that had been
adopted in secret the night before was
used on the house members as threat
to force them to do the bidding of the
senate oligarchy, and the latter refused
to enter again into conference until the
house platform democrats had agreed to
adjourn the conference until July 20.
Before the separate caucuses were held
this morning the joint membership met
and listened to addresses by State
Chairman Charlie Ward and by Mahon-
ey representing Governor Thomas COM
mittee of 100 of platform democrats.
After the senate had gone into separ-
ate caucus the house democrats held a
conference. They adopted resolution
agreeing to submit to the vote of the
people an amendment for the initiative
and referendum, providing for Is PEI
cent of the total vote for the secretary
of state to submit any legislation, and
providing further that in order to be-
come law that the vote on the amend
ment should poll total equal to one
half the total vote for secretary of
state, and should, of course, receive a
majority of that vote. Such provisions,
it is believed by those who have at
heart the interest of the direct legis-
lation, would he absolutely prohibitive
of its adoption.
The house also adopted another reso-
luton, declaring that in the regular
session it had passed bills embodying
all the platform pledges, which bills
had been killed in the senate. The
resolution declared that the house
stands ready again to pass these bills.
The meeting adjourned, having ac-
complished absolutely nothing.

For the past few years and in fact
ever Since the creation of the forest
reserves by the federal government
there has been more or less of how!
from certain sources about the reserves
retarding and interfering with settle
ment and the claim has been generally
made that much of the land within the
reserves should be thrown open for set
tement under the public land laws.
These claims have been made for the
most part by those who knew little Or
nothing of the actual conditions and as
a rule their criticisms were made for
political capital by discrediting the re-
serve system and the present admins
tratiOn.
That some land was included within
forest boundaries which is of more
value for agricultural than for forest
purposes the Post has always known
and admitted and this fact has also
been admitted by Mr.. Pinchot and
other forestry officials. That such
lands should have been included within
the forests should occasion no surprise
and the fact that Mr.. Pinchot over 4
year ago ordered surveys made of the
various forest boundary lines and re
concentrations by the supervisors as
~ als lsur,sr nG
that in the claims of the enemies of the
forests there was no information that
was new to the officers of the service.
The Post maintains and has always
maintained that if there is land within
the forest boundaries that is not neces-
sary to the success of the forest plan
or that is of more value for agricultural
than for forest purposes this land
should be eliminated and placed at
the disposal of those who would settle
and develop the same. But we have
always claimed. and it is more than
likely that the proclamations will bear
out this claim, that the area of such
lands within the present forest bound
aries was comparatively very small. A
proclamation just issued by President
Taft eliminates from Colorado forests
several thousand acres, in accordance
with the reports of supervisors made
almost year ago. 1t is said that elm

THE FIRST FEMALE
JURY IN COLORADO

Hahns Peak, Colo, June 27,-What is
believed to be the first jury of women
that has ever sat in a court Of record
in the United States, was assembled in
the county court yesterday by Judge
Morning, to try Elizabeth Hutchinson
for insanity. Hahns Peak, which is
the seat of Routt county, was almost
wiped out by recent fire, and now
has less than 80 inhabitants. When
the Hutchinson case was called, the
court discovered that there were not
enough eligible males in the town to
make up the necessary jury of six.
He accordingly summoned for jury
service Miss Maud Keller, Mrs. M. Q.
Starr, Miss Mary Creswell, Miss Kate
Pulley, Miss Emma Mccormick and
Mrs. Alice Ryan. The women were
duly sworn, heard the evidence, and
brought in verdict finding the de-
fendent insane. .

TRAGIC DEATH OF JOHN SEWERS

Johnny SEWERS. the fourteen year
~ son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Seiyers
met sudden and untimely death on
Monday last. Just exactly how the
accident happened cannot be related
but the boys father tells that immed-
lately after dinner the boy mounted
his pony, Old Baldy, by name and
rode after some horses. He had not
been gone a great while before the
horse returned to the house with the
almost lifeless body hanging from the
saddle with one foot caught in the
stirrup. 1t is thought that the hOrss
became frightened and jumped, pitch
ing the boy from his seat. DR.. Pruett
of Carbondale was called as soon as
the accident was discovered, but death
had claimed its victim long before he
arrived. The body was brought to this
city Tuesday for burial. Rev Brock,
pastor of the Methodist church at Car
bondale conducted the services and the
remains were inferred in Rosebud
Cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs. SEWERS and
family have the deepest sympathies

GRAND RIVER GIVES
up ANOTHER VICTIM

Last Saturday morning man who
gave his name as G. H. Buckley, a CON-
parative stranger In Glenwood, while
fishing in the Grand river just around q
point above the Rio Grande tunnel dis
covered in the river a human body
which further investigation proved to
be that of Walter johnson who was
drowned May 81 at shoshone.
Mortician Gourley and Coroner Hop
kins went up to the point where Buck.
ley had reported the hnd, and after
considerable effort succeeded in draw
ing the body across to the north shore.
The body had caught on the willows
and rocks and was for the most part
above the water and was in such
state of decomposition as to make
recognition impossible and It was only
through the little clothing remaining
on the body that it was positively rec
ognized as that of johnson.
The officers at once got in touch with
the Central Colorado Power company at
Shoshone and also With the boys faith
er, o. P. johnson. who ordered the
body sent to Colorado Springs, his
former home. and this was done.
johnson is the young man who, while
oiling some machinery, lost his balance
and fell into the spilway at Shoshone
and was carried down info the uo]v
current. He was probably dead before
he struck the channel of the river. AL
though the company kept a force of
men busy several days searching the
river, Buckley was the first person to
get even trace of the body. He
claimed the reward of $25 offered bv
the company for the recovery of the
body

VETS AND DRYs ARB1TRATE

FL Paso, Texas, June 27.-The sa-
loonkeepers of Carlsbad, N. NJ, have
discovered a new method of settling
the saloon question. 1t is by arbitra
tion.
Until June Is, 1911. the saloons Of
that little town will operate without
molestation and the owners will vo.-
UNFAIRLY close up their shops perm

This is not the result of revival or
an anti-saloon campaign or anything
of the kind, the saloon men and the
antis, preferring not to engage in An
expensive war, got together and arbi-
trated. They effected a compromise
agreement whereby the saloons agreed
to quit of their own accord If permit
ted to run for another year.
So far as Is known this IL the only
case on record where arbitration has
been used in liquor dispute.

MRS. MoYLLE AD.
MITTED TO Bail

Mrs Elizabeth Moylle, who last week
shot and killed her husband, is now free
having been released on bond secured
by her father, Philip n. Carpenter, at
New Castle. Mr.. Carpenter returned
last night from his home, and brought
with him bond of $4,000 the amount
fixed by justice Hutchinson, signed by
five prominent citizens of that town.
There was not room on the blank given
him for more than five names, but he
states that had there been sufficient
space, a score of additional names
would have appeared, for at least that
many other men offered to sign it.
The signatures on the bond are those
of Joseph Yule, J. C. Harrington and
|G. V. Ramsey, all well fixed ranchmen,
Hugh Miller, proprietor of the Pioneer
livery barn, and E. G. Gift. who is in
The harness business.
Mr. Carpenter was accompanied back
from New Castle by his other daughter
Mrs. Maggie Davis, who is with Mrs.
Moylle today while Mr.. Carpenter and
Attorney Godfrey are making trip to
the ranger station on Fish creek, where
the tragedy occurred. The three will
leave tomorrow morning for their home.
Mrs. MoyIle, who has almost com
pletely prostrated for the first few days
after the unfortunate affair, had suffi
GENTLY recovered by Sunday to be dis
charged from the Yampa hospital,
where she was first incarcerated, and
has since that time been directly in
Deputy Sheriff Chaffee's custody at
his home. She now arrived at prac
tieally normal condition. but she stead
fastly refuses to say anything reflect
ing upon her dead husband. From other
sources, however, considerable has been
learned which makes certain that
Moylle had repeatedly mistreated her,
and that their married life had been
made unhappy by his habits of drink
ing and gambling.-Yampa Leader.

Denver, June 2s.-The Speer demo-
Gratis completely outwitted their oppon-
ents in the democratic caucus held here
today, and forced an adjournment Of
the caucus until July 20 without a
single item of business having been
transacted, or even so much as one step
taken towards the alignment of the
democratic majority on any set of poii-
cies.
After an all day session the caucus
was adjourned to meet again on July
20. During the interim Governor Shat
roth will issue his call for the extra
session, and at the next meeting of the
caucus the democratic Legislators will
confer on the course to be pursued re-
garding the various matters in the call.
This, at least, is the reason given out
tonight for the adjournment until July
20, but the real reason is to allow Speer
democrats and Shafroth to confer as TO
what subjects shall be included in the
call.
Although the anti-platform demo
Gratis were in the minority at today's
caucus, they were able to make the
majority do their will. At their secret
caucus last fight. the anti-platform
democrats of the senate had adopted Il
resolution, declaring that there is no
necessity for the calling of the extra
session. The resolution declares that
there is no extraordinary demand for
an extra session, and that, as it is
only four months from the proposed
date of the extra session until the regu-
lar session, and as none of the legisla-
ton that could be passed at the extra
session could go into effect before the
election, there exists no need whatever
for the large expenditure that would
be caused by the extra session. Such
expenditure, in deed, it declares, would
cause the ruin of the democratic party
When the house and senate members
met in joint caucus today. it did not
require long for the senate leaders to
discover that the platform democrats
