PHEASANTS
FOR STATE

The state pheasantries are to be
located In Canon City.
Through an offer made to State
Game and Fish Commissioner Skim
a short time ago. Warden lyman has
secured the pheasantries for Canon
City. The lumber is already available
and work erecting the buildings and
runaways will shortly be commenced
The buildings will be erected in the
Penitentiary park opposite the pris-
on The plans call for a wooden
building 100 feet long which will be
subdivided into ten rooms or apart
ments. From each of these will ex-
tend the runways which will be Fifty
feet long and ten feet wide. Other
buildings will be erected as the de-
mand warrants.
Warden lyman has seventy-five
MongoliAn pheassnts with which he
has been experimenting and viii OBJ
tain one hundred more from Oregon
With these as a starter he believes
that beginning with next year he can
easily furnish one thousand pheassnts
a year to be distributed about the
state
The idea of a state pleasantly was
fathered several years ago but the
work has been handicapped through
lack OF funds and proper surround
.ngs. Having 4 large poultry yard,
some 1900 chickens. half of which are
laying hens. with plenty of free help
available. Warden lyman believes he
has the proper place to start raising
the pheasants. so he broached the
matter 10 Commissioner Shinn with
the result that the latter named OIL
ciai promptly favored the proposition
and gave IL his approval.
Pheasant eggs require light setting
setting hens and there are many OF
these in the penitentiary poultry
yards. The Mongolian stock Is believ-
ed 10 be the best for all purposes as
they are hardy and prolific breeders
They are especially adapted for the
Arkansas and Grand valleys where
many of them will be set free. When
the state is properly stocked the
pheasants will greatly add to the joys
of the hunter.

THE RESULT IN MAINE
Denver Republican:

Denver republican.
The election returns flashed across
the country from Maine were looked
for by all parties with keen interest.
II was generally accepted that this
was the first fair test OF the drift OF
public sentiment since last November.
The chief question TO be settled was
whether the split In the Republican
party had grown less or had increas-
ed.
The results must make narrowing
reading to those gentlemen who saw
in the defeat OF Mr.. Taft the dissolu-
ton OF the Republican party. There
is. of course. nothing in the least sur
prising in the results. Any wise po-
liticai forecaster might have known
that Maine. now that the spasm of re-
volt has spent itself, would return to
the party which has done SO much to
enhance its prosperity.
This is what the administration
feared. Signs have been not lacking
10 show that there is a deep dissatis-
faction with the policy being pursued
by those in power. Secretary Bryan
and Champ Clark were among the
speii-binders who went north to stem
the tide. II is a keen disappointment
to the Democratic leaders that there
has been an actual falling on in that
party's vote while the returns show a
Republican gain of more than 100 per
cent.
The most significant feature OF the
election is the record Of the Progress
sives. Instead OF being q close sec
ond. that party has become a bad
third. No conclusion but one Is pos
sible. The party's adherents have AL
ready. or will shortly. return to the
Republican fold.
This Ia a. Il should be. There has
been no need Of third party. The
Republican party voices the funda-
mental political beliefs of 80 per cent
of the Progressives- Dissatisfaction
with some OF It's methods. together
with one OF our periodical waves Of
unrest. led to n protest at the last
general election These were temper
ary in their nature. The verdict of
last November is now history. but the
party Of sanity s;ili stands like a rock
for the commercial prosperity and
financial integrity OF the country.
The Maine election shows that
the people realize this The wander
ers have come back TO their old home
and the latch string is out for them.
