Soon to Finish Highway Cutoff.

Canon City.-A party Of good roads
enthusiasts from Denver, Colorado
Springs, Cripple Creek and Canon City
visited the good roads construction
camp of Capt. C. H. Baldwin near the
Ell Paso county line, twenty-five miles
northeast of Canon City. Fifty con-
victs and eleven teams are engaged in
the construction of the cutoff on the
Canon City-Colorado Springs state
highway, and when it is completed it
will be one of the finest roads in the
state, and will cost the taxpayers of
Fremont county about $4,000. 1t is
expected that the road will be fin
ished as far as the eastern boundary
line of Fremont county by the middle
of December. From that point there
remains but little in excess of mile
further to be built to meet the inter-
section of the Canon CityColorado
Springs road completed about year
ago over Red Hill and through Dead

HIGHEST PRICE IN HISTORY OF
CHICAGO MARKET PAID FOR
MONTANA STOCK.
$3.50 Per HUNDRED
RECEIPTS, 1000 HEAD A DAY,
LESS THAN THIS TIME
LAST YEAR.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago.-An unprecedented high
price paid here for range cattle called
attention to condition which stock
men say has been growing more dis
turbing for some time and which
they assert threatens to make a low
price of meat an impossibility for the
future, unless it is met by activity
among corn-belt stock producers.
F. NJ. Heinrich of Lodge Grass, Mon
tana, was paid $3.50 a hundred
pounds for twenty head of cattle that
never had eaten other than the grass
of the open range, a price never be-
fore attained on the Chicago cattle
market for range stock.
The previous highest price was
$3.50, paid in October. 1909, to an
other Montana stock raiser.
These high-priced cattle were four
year-olds, averaging 1,52O pounds, and
were destined for the Boston market.
The daily receipts being nearly
1000 head day less than at this
:
clans for the Union Stock Yards and
Transit Company, are following the
trend of the last few years, indicat
ing that range cattle practically are
on the down grade in point of num-
bers.
The corn belt states, the statsti-
clans add, now have before them the
task of maintaining the production,
aud that the increasing interest in
the corn states has not kept pace
with the demand, the figures show.
Exceptional profits for corn belt
farmers in raising beef cattle are pre-
dicted by the stockmen, especially in
the next few years, until the dry
farmers have met with sufficient
success to warrant stock raising.

Settlers on School Land ousted.

Meeker.-Through the states assert
ing prior right, settlers in this section
are beginning to receive notices from
the land headquarters in Washington
to the effect that their homestead
filings have been cancelled and that
their land holdings revert back to the
government, then to become the prop
erty of the state. None of the settlers
who have thus summarily been dis
possessed had received any previous
warning The notices in each case are
peremptory, declaring in substance
that the filings have been declared null
and void, and giving the granger a
stipulated time in which to vacate the
premises. On his failure to do so, he
becomes trespasser and subject to
the usual action in a case Of that kind
No recourse is allowed him. All i'm
provements which he has made on the
land and all money spent become a
dead loss.
The land affected by this action Of
the department comprises many thou
sands of acres all through the White
River valley. Without exception it is
all valuable farming and grazing lanI,

March II, 1911, the secretary of the
interior withdrew the lands-a portion
of the area being on Little Beaver
but no one there knew it. Settlers
have entered that section; they have
filed upon these same lands; they
have improved their holdings, some of
them spending from $500 to $1,000 on
their claims. Now claimants are being
notified that the General Land Office
is cancelling their filings. No filing
will hold good that was not made
previously to June %, 1910.

GAVE IfIMSFCIE A MIDDLE NAME

John Trotwood Moore, the author
OF THE Gift OF the Grass" is known
to horse lovers throughout the coun-
try as '"TrotWood.' as hat is the name
he has employed while conducting the
pacing department for a National
turf journal. There is no 'Trotwood'
in my real name;'' he aid the other
day. Il was named John Moore for
my father. Judge John Moore, of
Marion, Ala. But when I moved to
that there were as many John Moores
in Maury county as there We're John
Smiths in Alabama. The old original
John Moore must have settled in this
county Just after the Revolutionary
war. He seemed to be a mos prolific
gentleman, and evidently all his male
descendants We're named for him IN
some way or other.
LAS a boy [ spent most of my spare
time in reading Dickens, and OF all
his funny characters old Betty TrOt-
wood appealed most to my youthful
imagination. Intensely fond Of all
kinds Of live stock. when l began to
write for those journals ! used 'Trot-
wood as my pen name. Later ! gave
them stories and poems of the life
in the Middle Basin. Those stories
and poems gave me reputation and
when the demand came for them
from magazines and other periodicals
J tried to drop 'Trotwood' but found
to my surprise hat the poems and
stories did not go. SO ! nave since
signed my work John Trotwood
Moore
