List. weary ones, how means the sea,
The mists creep UP along the lea,
Their soothing tones we feel.
Sweet. lingering doors fill the breeze,
Soft zephyrs stir among the trees
And whispers low to you and me.
This is the tale they tell;
Life is but passing scene,
Four years but a fitting dream.
Eternity's with God.
Today, today is all your own,
The future to you is unknown.
But happy is the path you've trod.
Three well-spent years you have passed
Learning lessons old.
But you.
Who soon the honored place must fill
That 1912 leaves to you, Will
Lift CHEEKY faces up to view
Bright from the good, brave pride in you,
That all may see tbs worth the while,
To brave the storm. the struggle Wild.
What you put into life, you gain;
What you leave out, you seek In vain.
The world stands forth with open arms
And rouses in you vague alarms,
Bidding YOU come, not waste these years,
For time is fleet
You know not how wise you are.
Learning by patience and by care
Lessons that you ne er VIII rue.
The sordid world sees not the true.
The deeper vision. -
Hold treasured in your memory terse
The wonders of the universe.

n 600 Acaxs OF COLORADO
LAND u THROWN OPEN

Persistent efforts on the part of ID
c. Beaman, for many years connected
with the Colorado Fuel and Iron comPa-
ny, have resulted in $4,000 acres in tn.
White River country, which was in-
cluded the forest reserve, being thrown
open to settlement. This land is in
Routt county and it is rePOted that
almost every acre is irrigable and is OF
the finest quality.
When Chief Forester Graves was Ill
Colorado some time ago he made per-
sonal investigation of the claims of tae
Colorado men who had been urging
taht the land in question was agricul-
tural and should not be included in the
forest reserve. As a result the land Is
now open to. settlement without resel
walton.
Yampa in Routt county is the nearest
railroad point and Williams Fork and
other streams run through the land,
giving excellent opportunity for irriga-
tiea enterprises. The land will sup

pected that there will be large irhux

10 CONDEMNS Gas
Ilfo GASOLINE

W. K. Calvert, representing the Unit
ed States bureau of mines, is in Denver
for the purpose Of studying out some
a,ethod of eondensing natural gas into
gasoline for the purpose Of increas ny
the supply of that fuel. The enOrmous
increase in the use of gasoline and the
diminishing of the supply is the cause
for the activity of the government in
that direction.
B Calvert will c2niuct his experiments
IN the Salt creek, Wyoming, oil fields,
Ghere there is an enormous amount CT
gas escaping jnto. the air. Tests show
that the oil in the Salt creek fields eoa-
tains the largest per cent of gasoline
of any in the country.
The Midwest Oil company, the larg-
eat operator in the field, has under
consideration plans for piping this gas
70 Casper and furnishing it to the in
habitants of that city for fuel pur-
poses. That will not, however, con-
came the amount which is escaping
klaily from the big wells. The govern
Fnent experts believe that a method of
saving this gasoline which goes OF in
! the form of vapOr can be worked out
Aad have prepared to make experiment
We that d rection. The method to be
Followed will be that of condensation.

When the fire department arrived
they found Mr.. weidenhammer, the
jantor. ON the roof tearing OF shing'es
to prevent the spread of the fire which
was ON the south roof. A little dash
Of water soon completely extinguished
the fire which had caught from fail
Ing spark lodging on the roof and ig-
hitting the dry cotton from the cotton
wood trees.
This il similar to the fire of two
wears ago and can be traced to the
same cause. 1t is said the school
board viii place spark arresters on the
chimneys to prevent recurrence at
the trouble. 1t is especially fortunate
that the building was so quickly emp
tied and that none of the children were
trampled or injured in any manner.
Miss Crook was pronounced rea!
heroine and received many compliments,
on her presence of mind and the for-
tunate results of her prompt action.
