EARLY ACTION
IS IMPERATIVE
SAYS MILLER

Attorney y. {. Miller presented his
report this afternoon at the meeting
of the western slope water and ditch
interests in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms. There was a large at
tendance.
After reviewing the various claims,
DEGREES and filings made by eastern
slope interests ON the Grand river.
Attorney Miller made the following
suggestions:
First. That n petition he filed to
open up the various DEGREES in order
TO avoid the provisions of the statute
of limitations;
Second. That there he filed obiec-
tfons and exceptions To the claim of
the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation
company:
Third. That the attention of the
federal government he called to the
threatened loss of water necessary for
the reclamation of western sIope
lands.
After Attorney Miller made his re-
port it was decided 10 have COM
mittee go TO GlcnwOod and enlist that
section in the fight and to secure the
cooperation of the other western
slope counties.
II is realized that there is no time
10 lose and money must he raised
and action taken without DELAY if we
are TO prevent the water of the Grand
river from being appropriated by the
eastern slope.

THE JUVENILE COURT.

The annual report Of the judge of the
Juvenile court. Alexander McMaster Is
an interesting document. 1t shows the
great need of an institution Of that kind
in dealing with delinquency among
children. That the necessity exists Is
deplorable. because it proves the neg
lect of many parents, or guardians. to
do their duty III the matter of keeping
the children in the straight and mar
row path. But since we must have a.
Juvenile court, it should be given the
best support possible. Undoubtedly the
Legislature. will be called upon for
larger appropriation. and 1t should be
made as liberal as possible.
The Juvenile court Is Il non-political.3
non-sectarian institution. 1t does not
try to tear the children away from the
parents. On the contrary, when chill
drcn are brought before the court,
every effort is made to find out what
the trouble is. and to induce the par
ents to take greater care OF them. II
the children have no home, or If the
parents are not willing to do their duty,
stllfH all elloIt lilitu> " lllIu suitsiDiS
homes, and In this the court has been
very successful. Many citizens gener-
ously offer to adopt such homeless chill
dren. or to give them Il home temporar-
lily. Only when it is evident that there
is no other remedy, the boy or girl Is
sent to the Industrial school. But there
have been only 40 cases Of this kind
out of 1900 that have come before the
Court, and this proves the success of
the Court in saving erring children from
career of crime
The Judge informs us that Invariably,
when he finds children who are morally
depraved. they are addicted to tobacco
and liquor. Boys, he says, who have
become criminals. almost without ex-
ception. smoke cigarettes, and girls
generally have met someone who has
given them intoxitants, and that was
the beginning OF the downfall. This is
a fact that should be well contemplated,
especially by our legislators, Whatever
they can do to shield the children from
the temptations that, if yielded to, open
the doors to Il career OF crime, they
should consider an effort well spent.

A CHANCE FOR SLAUGHTER.

A rare Incentive TO further orgies of
slaughter leading to the determination
of other wild animals of America, is
suggested by recent dispatch from
Tacoma. announcing that a herd OF
caribou estimated ut 100000 by those
who saw them formed an amazing
sight, which stopped caravans on the
lonely trail between Fairbanks and
Circle City, Alaska, in September.
The scene is described as the most
impressive he ever witnessed by Capt.
L. T. Barnettc. a Fairbanks banker,
who has arrived here Barnettc be-
lievcs the drove was of greater proper
tions than any other ever seen by a
white man.
His pack train waited on the HILL
side four hours while one wing OF tho
herd passed The herd was nearly a
mile wide, stretching out for miles,
closely packed.
Every thoushtess gun carrying
wight in America will now fairly ache
to get among these splendid creatures
for the sport" of shooting them down.
Even the school children know the
fate of that wonderful animal the buf-
falo. Occasionally we find an Ameri-
can that has heard something about
the determination of the romantic and
picturesque passenger pigeon and the
beautiful wood duck. But, as rule,
the sentiment that should protect tile
remnants of wild life that remain to us,
is only sentiment. Practically all
male Americans seem ready and will
ing to strike the remaining blows
necessary to put an end to the beauty
and romance of our out-of-doors, still
surviving the savagcry of tho people in
the shape or few herds Of deer, ante
lOpc, and moose
Never do these pretty little interesting
animals come near to the towns. driven
down from the mountains by snow,
without n holocaust. for they are
slaughtered without mercy.
Why not lct them alone? Why not
enforce the game laws? Why not ab-
solutcly forbid their further killing un-
A.
plcd our barren Wilderness ways with
some Of their original beauty? The only
reason these things can not be done is
tho innate savagery. the lust for kill
ing. the vainglorio'is desire to be IL
hunter" that exists among so many
OF our mon.
The remedy is to teach to the on
coming generation Il love for the wild
creatures of the hills. Stories about
killing wild animals should be replaced
in the school books By accounts of how
to rear tame. and protect them. As
