TOWNSEND SEES
TAFT SENTIMENT
MICHIGAN SENATOR REPORTS
THAT SITUATION IN LAKE RE-
GIoN is VERY SATIsFAc-
TORY FOR TAFT.

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator Town
send. who arrived from Michigan re-
Gently brings news of increasing pro-
Taft sentiment in the lake region.
Senator Townsend feels that a fine
distinction should be made between
progressive Republicans and those who
style themselves "progressives." Hav-
ing made this distinction, Senator
Townsend adds that those who style
themselves "progressives" are not nee
esarily such in everything they advo-
cate. on the contrary they may even
be called reactiOnary at times. The
great body of Republicans, the Michi-
gan senator feels are truly progress
i've. At the same time, where present
conditions and present laws are sat
isfactory. he considers II fieeting, with
ont odium, To stand pat hold on to
whatever Is good, seek Improvement
whenever possible. In seeking TO be a
progressive, the senator says, 1t is
possible to think more of the name
than of principles, and he quotes an
old Republican up near his home III
Jackson as follows:
"When you start being a progress
i've. watch out that you don't progress
backwards"
In other words, Senator Townsend
believes not only that President tart
is the real progressive leader, but also
that unlike certain "progressives' VINO
oppose him, the president always pro-
crosses forward.

Shungopavi, the Moqui Indian. were
entertained In one of the most
unique, yet pleasing talks. they had
ever heard. Shungopavi. although a
full blood Moqui, is a graduate of
Carlisle and in his public utterances
uses language that Is not exceeded
in elegance by any public lspeaker of
the time. He is a fluent speaker
of English, using that language much
better than the average American.
He gave the boys who heard him
strong talk on square dealing and
entertained them by stories of Indian
legends. Referring to the treatment
that had been accorded his tribe by
the white men, he said, 1t is the
white man. not the Indian, who is
savage. My people are peace lovers
and wholly unlike the warriors of
the north. The invading white. new

tactics in dealing with the Moquis

PARKS BACK FROM BIG
CATTLE MEETING; SAYS
IT WAS BIG SUCCESS

Frank Parks. manager of the Sci
ber Cattle company returned yester-
day from Denver. where he spent the
last week attending the sessions of
the National Cattlemen's association,
which he says was one of the finest
meetings he ever attended.
The Pueblo Chieftain got the fol-
lowing interview from Mr.. Parks
about the cattle situation over on
the western slope:
Mr. Parks stated that the past
year has been exceedingly good for
cattlemen on the western slope. His
firm is the largest in that section of
the state and has seen many prosper
Gus years, but hes tates that the past
season has compared very favorably
with pioneer days when the cattle
business was in its supremacy.
The Seiber Cattle company ope-
rates in the large Pinon Mesa coun-
try and a portion of the Glade park
district, the latter known to pioneers
as the Big Park country. Three years
ago this entire district was held by
the company which Mr.. Parks repre-
sents and was the largest one-range
district in the entire west, but during
the past few years homesteaders have
been flocking to that section of the
western slope until now there are al
most 200 families located in what is
now known as the Glade Park coun-
try. Three years ago there was not
a single family living in that district.
This country is located south and
and west of Grand Junction and runs
to the Utah state line
