We reprint the following editor

showing the pleasing effect that a
Western Slope fruit crop has upon
outsiders:
Colorado is feeling particular
the crop prospects for the coming
year. The late snowfall gives assur-
ance of a splendid supply of water
tor the irrigators, and over on the
Western Slope the fruit buds have
carefully refrained from making
their appearance so that the grow
ers have reason to believe that they
will come this season in proper
lime to guarantee an extraordinary
heavy yield.
Although the winter was SO open
during January and February that
the mountains received next to no
snow. the latter falls have been sui
ficient to restore confidence in the
bitches and remove the last vestage
OF doubt concerning the seasons
productiveness. In the fruit sec
lions, although the winter has had
few extremes, the temperature has
remained at a mean to discourage
the fruit buds from making that
early appearance which for the two
previous seasons caused some alarm
and gave birth to the orchard heat
ing system.
The two first months of every
year are heart-breakers in the world
of commerce. Business, following
the holidays rush, drops to low tide
and there is invariably disposition
to give way to gloom. The weather
depresses the spirits, nature is
asleep (perhaps the reason of the
gloom is that man really ought TO

The plan is, according to Mr.. Cox, to
have all the game wardens act as for

cept that their expenses shall be paid,
and to have all of the forest rangers
and patrolmen act as game wardens In
conjunction with their work.
In addition to these the 33 road SUI

Of the state highway commission will
also act as auxiliaries to both branches
Of the government in protecting

The new arrangement will be effect

In the opinion of both Mr.. Cox and Mr.
