ready obtained the establishment of
the National Council of Commerce, an
organization of commercial bodies
throughout the country, Chambers Of
Commerce, Boards OF TRADE, and spe.
cialized trade organizations. His pur-
pose in bringing about this organize
ton was to gain cooperation with the
department of these commercial bod
les in the administration Of the laws
affecting commerce, and the develop
ment of the commerce of the country
both domestic and foreign.
An exactly similar purpose has led
to the invitations for the proposed
conference with representatives of
labor. They will be invited to discuss
for instance, questions affecting i'm
migration and the administration Of
the immigration and naturalization
laws. Closely connected with those
subjects is contract labor law. Besides
these there will be talk concerning
another question very close to the
hearts of the labor organizations, that
of the employers liability law as it
affects the. Government service. The
Bureau of Labor is now engaged in
the compilation of material concern
ing the enforcement of the new stat
ute which will be basis for discus
sion.

open for the production of a large

crs of this state Will combine the
growing of fruit with the growing of
such leguminous crops as alfalfa,

state of Colorado has accomplished The
greatest achievement in the past year.
At the great Lexington race meet in
the autumn of last year. The standard

The time is rapidly approaching
when the superb climate and the rich
and nutritious grains and grasses OF
Colorado will be recognized as of the
greatest value in the production of all
classes of superior live stock, WheE
the farmers and stockmen of Colorado
shall awaken to their possibinnes and
privileges along the lines of live stock
production. the improvement that is
possible in all classes of live stock
Will perhaps be accomplished. Until
then Colorado will not come into her
own in this great field of agricultural
development.

OBJECTS OF THE COLORADO
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION

1. To induce good settlers to come
TO Colorado
2. To populate, the millions Of acres
of government land which can be TAX.
en- up under the 160-acre homestead
law. the Mondell act. the desert land
entry, and the Carey act. To bring
into the state homsteaders for these
public lands as rapidly as possible.
8. To secure capitalists who will
grasp the many opportunities for in
yestment which the state affords. New
and cheaper processes of reducing ores
is one of the forms of investment
which Is needed TO boom the mining
industry of our state again.
4. Endeayor to secure factories of
all kinds Wherever they are needed by
the various communities in the state
New manufactures will bring a large
factory population" and get cheaper
freight rates from the railroads.
.. Increase the dairy and poultry
business. The state annually imports
over $i,00O.0O0 worth of butter. eggs
and chickens, which could be produced
in the state were there more dairy
men and poultry raisers in Colorado.
6. To conduct a bureau of informa-
tion to furnish a source of information
for any one inside or outside the state
on any subject which relates to Colo
RADIOS resources.
Z. Generally, to keep before the
homeseeking and investing public of

OF Colorado.
All these can he secured by adver-
Using. And funds for advertising in
this manner are provided by our pub
licspirited members, who know that

THE DISMISSAL OF MR.. plNcHoT.


President Taft's letter to Mr.. Pin
chot is absolutely conclusive. Few
fair-minded men in the country, no
matter how earnest they may be as
supporters OF the conservation policy,
how profound may be their apprecia'
ton OF Mr.. Pinchot's splendid and
valuable service TO that wise and ben
efciaI policy, will seriously contend
that the president had any conceivable
alternative to the course he adopted.
No retention of Mr. Pinchot was
possible after the series of acts which
eliminated in the letter to Dollivei
and the serious reflections II contained
on the president and the attorney gen
eral. A sense of self-respect, of the
dignity of the chief magistracy. of the
necessity of discipline and unity In
the executive departments, absolutely
dictated the dismissal of the chief for
ester. He has no one but himself to
blame for the outcome Of an amazing
interdepartmental controversy which
too long threatened decentralization and
scandal.
Mr.. Piuchot may or may not have
deliberately ridden for faIP'-future
developments may throw some light
on the puzzling question why man
so able, so intelligent, SO efficient, ere.
ated a situation in which his dismissal
from office became imperatiye.-Rec-

GOOD CLEAN UP AT iNTERSEc.

Silverton Miner.
Reports from the new mill of the
Intersection company in Maggie gulch
are of the most flattering nature. A
clean up of the plates has just been
made after run of fifteen days which
gave return of $4,000. Two hun
dred dollars a day from FIVE stamps
is record that would be hard to
beat. 1t proves that the process is
adaptable TO the character of ore found
in the Intersection property which
means great deal to that section of
the county. The en-. ;e belt which is
beginning to attract Se serious atten,
ton of mining men carries ore similar
to that found in the Intersection. This
belt has been proven to extend from
the Kankakee and Gold Bug on the
south to the Isolde on the north and
bids fair TO become the richest min.
eral producing section in the county.
Hence the magnificent success of the
Intersection mill is of absorbing in
terest TO the entire community.

than ordinary ability and brings to
his new and important position, q
plentiful knowledge of the affairs of
the world and men CLEANED from n
vast experience in the field of jour.
nalism in which he has already gain

Our associations for the past four
years have been so friendly, so full OF
the pleasures that spring from honest
and gentlemanly expressions of
thought, though they at times widely
differed, that they will ever bring

For many years the live stock In

sources from which the farmers and

is forging ahead gradually and stead.

Cattle and horse raising, engaged
the attention OF great majority of
the population OF the state. until the
last decade when a more intensive
system of farming in the irrigated dis
tricts has to large extent revolii-
tionized the system of animal hus-
bandry practiced.
The large farms and ranches are
rapidly being cut up into small areas
and the large herds of inferior cattle
and horses are rapidly being replaced
with smaller and far superior types
and breeds.
| Even In the case OF the larger herds,
says Professor Carlisle in a recent ar
ticle on the live stock industry in
| Colorado. the management has
| changed materially In the last few
years. Instead of allowing the stock
to winter on the range with no extra
feed or shelter. the rancher now makes
provision not only for liberal supplies
of feed. but also provides comfortable
quarters for his live stock.
