GRAND JUNCTION. Col. Sept. -.
To one man, John Otto. builder of
trails, America owes one of it's finest
national parks.
Coming from a cultured eastern
family, Otto yielded TO the west-lure
and for years lived the life of cow
boy. He was silent about his own af-
fairs and generous toward his fellow
'punchers".
One day he came into Grand june
ton afire with enthusiasm for the
beauty of the region to the southwest.
But to pioneers struggling with young
fruit farms a barren land could hold
no beauty. So OttO's tales were met
with ridicule. In silence he bought
supplies and disappeared.
Months passed. Occasionally OF
TO came to town. quietly procured
provisions and withdrew to the will
derness. Then reports began to come
in from ranchmen who had gone far
in search for straying cattle
Otto was building trails through his
Fools Paradise, building them alone,
often under cruel difficulties
Finally the Grand Junction cham
Der of commerce sent a committee
to investigate and found the rumors
true. OttO's paradise" was a land of
rare natural beauty. There were vast
canyons, natural monuments" of
rock rising from 20 to $50 feet sheer
from the canyon floor. lovely water
falls, deep caves and virgin forest.
Opening il up to the people along
the mountain sides was John Otto,
building his trails.
q After the investigation. which led
to no civic action. John Otto some
times asked for help. Quietly he
would suggestNto a business man that
he contribute a dollar to his work
Never did he ask more than that, and
he never asked the same man twice.
This money was spent wholly on
tools and engineering supplies. When
Otto needed money for himself he
went to work for some ranchman.
earned enough for clothes and prOvis-
ions for a while and returned TO his
trails.
And city or county would require
at least $4,000 for labor alone TO
complete the Is miles Of trail now
finished by John Otto.
Four years ago Otto brought the
region to the notice of Pres. Taft,
who was favorably impressed. The

on the leaves, insects are sluggish and
easily taken with the hand; species fly
then that hide themselves by day, while
at night many caterpillars leave their re-
treats to come out and feed, when the
lantern can be used with success in
searching for them.
The most advantageous places for col
lecting are gardens and farms, the bor-
ders Of woods and the banks Of streams
and ponds. The deep. dense forests and
open treeless tracts are less prolific of
insect life. In winter and early spring
the moss on the trunks Of trees when
carefully shaken over newspaper or
white cloth reveals many beetles and
hymenoptera. In the late summer and
autumn toadstools and various fungi and
rotten fruits attract many insects.

Bloodthirsty Brutes Which Take
Terrible Toll in Africa.

Theodore Roosevelt. In Gcribner's Magazine.
Man-eating lions have always been
fairly common in East Africa. The most
noted, but far from exceptional, case
was that Of the two man-eaters which
for a time stopped the building of the
Uganda railroad by their ravages
among the workmen; until they were
finally shot by the engineer in charge,
Mr. (afterward coloneD Patterson. An
other lion. after killing several men
around station on the railroad, carried
on and ate the superintendent of the di-
vision; the latter had come down in his
private car, which was run on q siding,
and he sat up at window that night
to watch for the lion. but he fell asleep
and the lion climbed on the platform.
entered the car by the door and carried
OF his would-be slayer through the wins
dow.
In the summer of 1909 a couple OF
man-eating lions took to infesting the
Nasal villages on the plain around the
headwaters of the Guaso Nyiro, west
OF Kenia, and by their ravages forced
the Nasal to abandon the district, and
the native travel routes across it Were
also temporarily closed. A few weeks
later I was hunting In the district; we
kept the thorn bona round our camp
closed at night, with Q fire burning ana
askaris on guard, and were not molests
ed. Near Machakos-boma white
traveller was taken out Of his tent by q
man-eater one night, a good many years
ago; a grewsome feature Of the incident
was that on its first attempt the lion
was driven of after having seized and
wounded its victim; the wounds Of the
latter were dressed. and he was again
put to bed, but soon after he had been
left alone the lion again forced his way
into the tent and this time carried the
man of and ate him. =
Every year In East Africa natives are
carried of from their villages or from
hunting camps by man-eating lions Oc-
