OPENING OF
MORE FOREST LAND

More than so supervisors of the ma
tional forest reserves met this week at
the Adams hotel. These men are from
the second district, which embraces
the states of Colorado, Wyoming. Kan
sas. Nebraska. Minnesota and Michi-
gan. The supervisors were addresses
by A. F. Potter. on the question of the
uses of the forest.
During the afternoon session the
question of classifying the lands with
in the national forests was freely dis
cussed The principal discussion was
on the question of the best way to
determine just where the land fit for
settlement is located and to open II
up for settlement. Congress has been
asked for an appropriation of 100000
for the express purpose of putting par
ties in the field to make accurate sur
veys and hasten this work. This is
of especial interest to Colorado mas
much as a number of homestead en-
tries have been made in the forest
reserve of this state. but the home
steaders are being delayed in proving
up because there are no accurate
surveys at hand. One of the most Inn
portant features considered was that
of the heliograph. Supervisor G. G.
Poole of wyoming said that this is the
most effective method OF communica-
tion. In the Washington forest the
country is so rough that the eonstrue-
ton of a telephone line is too expen-
sive. The heilograph can be seen and
read up to a distance of 125 miles and
can be easily transported as it weighs
only IL pounds. s."-Denver Republican.

DELTA COUNTY BUSINESS MEN
PASS RESOLUTIONS TUESDAY

Every effort will be put forth by the
new officers and directors of the
Delta County Business Mems asso-
citation to rejuvenate the organization
during the coming year and to make
it a medium for advancing the ma
terial and physical welfare of the city.
That such is their intention was indi-
Gated at the first meeting of the new
board last Tuesday night.
While no definite course was outlin-
ed, several propositions pertaining to
the advancement and advertising of
the city were discussed in serious
vein The lack of funds is a serious
handicap, but despite this adverse
condition an effort will be made to
do things in small way at first with
the hope of expanding the scope OF
its activities at later date.
The secretary was instructed to
write General Manager Ell. Brown
of the Denver & Rio Grande in an
endeavor to ascertain if the reports
NudI TIE was an 1AAC
building of branch over Black mesa
had any foundation, and if so. 10 as
sure that official that Delta would
lend its cooperation to the furthering
of the project
The proposal of bringing Eugene
Grubb, the potato expert, to Delta
and have him give an address on the
potato industry for the benefit of the
farmers was discussed and it is possi-
that an invitation will be extended
Mr. Grubb in the near future.
1t was also suggested that base
ball team representing the city be
organized The directors thought a
baseball nine would be source of
advertising TO the city, as we'll as fur
nishing amusement TO our people.
Another proposition broached was
that band concerts be held every Sat
urday during the summer. This would
be an attraction for the farmers and
an inducement for them to come TO
Delta, and in addition TO increasing
the business of local merchants, be
welcome pastime to our citizens.
Many other plans were submitted
and discussed. and some of these will
probably be worked out later on.
The following resolutions were
passed:
Whereas. the first election under
the new charter of the City of Delta.
for the election of commissioners. and
the inauguration of the Commission
form of government, will be held
March 4, and
Whereas. large powers are put into
the hands OF the commissioners, and
the success of the plan largely de-
pends upon the character. judgment
and initiative of these who will be
elected, and
whereas, only five weeks inter
vene before the day of election, and
the time is none too long for the
proper consideration of the merits and
ability of the candidates for the re-
spective commissionerships. there
fore
BE it resolved that 1t is the sense
of this body that each of the pros
pective commissioners announce at
once through the public press of Delta
his or her candidacy. and the COM
missionership to which he or she as
pires, and
BE it further resolved. that we as
individuals will scrutinize every can
didate with the greatest care and de-
liberation. and viii support without
regard to their sex. or their present
or past political or church affiliia-
tons. the candidates who will best
promote the moral and physical well

Hennessey has referred frequently to
the "little black book" in political
speeches he has made lately, as contain

his investigations for Sulzer.
Though it was not given out, Hemes-

Washington, Oct. 3O.--All indications
were today that the United States will
be fighting for peace in Mexico within
a few more days.
President Wilson ordered both army
and navy departments to hold their
forces ready for Mexican service at a
moments notice.
The president would prefer recOgniz-
ing General Carranza, the Mexican reb-
ell leader, and letting the Mexicans
fight out their differences between
themselves.
Other powers are weary of disorders
in Mexico, however think the United
States can stop them more quickly than
Carranza and probably will bring
stronger pressure to bear than the pres.
ident can resist.
Draft of Policy Ready.
The president had completed draft
Of his new Mexican policy today, but
did not intend to submit it to the cabi.
net until next week.
He delayed because he wished to see
what the new Mexican congress will do
when it meets Saturday
IL was believed the Mexican congress
will declare votes cast for Huerta void,
since the constitution does not permit
him to succeed himself, and declare
General Blanquet president.
II this development occurs President
Wilson will announce that he will rec.
ognize neither Huerta nor his lieuten-
ants, of whom Banquet is one, and out.

1t was understood on all hands that,
though America may intervene in Mex
leo, it will withdraw as soon as order
has been restored.
