Jacks Cabin Notes

Regular Correspondence.
DR.. ]. w. Rockefeller paid the vail ey
a visit Sunday in his auto.
w. H. Whalen, county commissioner,
was in this locality Sunday looking over
the roads.
The Jax Cabin base ball team made
their first appearance last Sunday, and
they sure showed some class. 1t was a
matched game between the married
men and the single men. That they
are to be classed in professional ranks.
mo mavericks or scrubs among 'em) is
unquestionably shown by the score,
which after an exciting nip-and-tuck
game, in which the single men were
quite confident that they had it all their
own way, the tally board stood seven
to seven. The game took place on the
Comstock meadow. Now that the pros
poets look SO bright for awinning team,
a smooth tract of land will be cleared
and good diamond made. Then some
scientific practicing will result.

Only a Joke

Cleanup day. last Monday re-
suited in "kinder-a- lizzle," and it
devolved upon the town marshal to
get out and rustic men to start the
job. Apparently the citizens of the
town did not enter into the real
spirit of the move, as have the
residents of most other towns over
the country. Pitkin, our neigh
boring town, has now gone one better
and made the Goth of each month
n day of cleaning up during the
summer months, thus guaranteeing
the retention of the reputation that
it now enjoys, that OF being the
cleanest town in the county,
Even Denver has caught the
cleanup" fever and in 'front.'
page article the Post gives in detail
the concerted action of the citizens
to rid the city of rubbish that under
ordinary methods of cleaning re-
main untouched each year. 1t has
been demonstrated satisfactorily
that the towns are cleaned up more
thoroughly in this way in one day,
than small gang of men can do
i, the work in good portion of the
summer. It's q new ovation, but a
good one to get used to. The Post
says, in Denver every body is work
ing, even father" It's dollars to
doughnuts that father couldn't be
found anywhere in the corporate
limits of Crested Butte last Monday
morning.

Reclamation Exhibit
at 1918 Exposition

For the first time in history
there will be built, at San Diego
1915 Exposition, a practical re-
clamation service for exhibition
and demonstration purposes.
A large tract of ground has
been set aside for building a COM
plete reclamation project, and an
adjoining tract will be used to
demonstrate the benefits derived
in reclaiming desert land by irri-
ga.ion. This exhibit is planned
for the purpose of showing the
western home-seeker, what the
arid states, such as Montana,
Idaho, Nevada. Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Washing
ton, Wyoming and others have
to offer as inducements to set
tiers.
The reclamation service to be
exhibited at the exposition will
be large enough for practical
working in all details, yet small
enough to be more comprehensive
to the visitor than would larger
plant. The visitor will see just
how the water is caught and
stored in the mountains, how it
is distributed in proper quantity,
without waste, to the desert
lands, and how these desert lands
are turned from barren waste
places into green and productive
fields of plenty.
Experienced men, who have
gained their knowledge of recla-
nation by years of expearance,
and actual field work. will tell
the visitor every detail concern
ing the service he may ask for,
and the same course will be fol-
lowed on the acres under culti-
vation by the use Of the waters
from the reclamation service. 1t
has been the belief of the expo
sition management that in no
other way could the exposition
he made to come so near taking
the visitor to the western states,
needing population the most, as
by showing him actual conditions
and workings practically demon
strated. and for that reason q
complete reclamation service and
demonstration field will be pre-
pared.
People of the east and foreign
ers know practically nothing
about the more western states
aside from those that constitute
the seaboard, especially. and the
fact that all the so-called arid
states are fabulously rich in re-
source and opportunity for the
immigrant, is what the San Diego
1915 Exposition is seeking to
demonstrate.

Last Saturday Little 11-year old Les
lie Young was the means of saving the
large stallion at the Young ranch from
being chokod to death, by her unsual
presence of mind. The horse had been
tied in the stable with too much play
rope, in which ne had become entangled
and thrown himself. The little girl
upon discovering the situation. immedi-
ately secured sharp knife. and climb
ing into the manger, cut the rope and
liberated the animal none too soon.

was established, the revising of the
system was left entirely to the des-

mission, so that the matter does not
have to come up before congress for

templated material changes in the
rates as they now are being charged

HiGH-TARIFF PLEADERS HOIST

Assertion That They Are Unable to

In Foreign Markets.

1t vas an excellent point which
Congressman Kitchin made the other
day at n of the tariff hearings. The

usual, listening to the same old plant
h a American manufacturers cannot
compete with foreign manufacturers
without protection because we pay such

calling attention to the use foreign
manufacturers are right now making.
In neutral markets. of precisely such
statements as these American gentle
men have been making.
AS everybody knows, the cotton
men and other American manufacture
ers do compete largely. on equal
terms. In countries like China with
European manufacturers. Yet here
they are declaring their inability to
compete on equal terms for their own
home market! According to Mr..
Kitchin, their confessions to this ef-
fect are being advertised In Man.

the i~nferiority of American goods
when sold ~ cheaply as German and
other European products.
There is nothing whatever the mat

by European manufacturers. II 1t Is
true thai our manufacturers must
have protection to sell goods here at
home, then how can they possibly
sell in Manchuria or South America
products quite equal to those OF Eu-

Fortunately, there Is the fact that
they do compete successfully N such

Trusts and FOREIGN 1radn.

American consuls report that manu-
facturers of this country will not
take trouble to seek foreign trade.
They will not make long campaigns
for oversee commerce, as do Englisl
French and Germans.
One reason for this condition Is not
far to seek. A large part OF Ameri-
can manufacturing Is under trust
control. Trusts are too fond Of PRO
lection" at home to enjoy meeting
competition abroad. During the last
campaign Louis Brandeis published
figures showing hat most trusts pay
little attention to export trade; and
that their boosted efficiency" is a
myth.
American commerce Is increasing
because American growth, inventive
ness and natural u compel an
increase. What the country needs in
promoting foreign TRACE is not sub
sidized ships. but normal competitive
conditions at home.

Responsibility 10 on All.

While the Democrats must take the
Initiative in all business, the Repub-
licans and the ~Progressives have .
certain responsibility. They must
make a record, too, as the wheels go
round. They must vote OF how much
revenue shall be raised by OF
the income tax. and how the amount
shall operate in the revision of the
customs schedules and the new
duties they shall carry. And they
must vote on all new antitrust prop
ositions. and all currency reform
measures presented. The battle will
not be alone between the Democratic
factions. warm as that may be. but,
on some Of the lines Of contention.
between the old parties as heretofore.
So that the chances and penalties
for laundering will not be confined to
the Democratic party.

Governor Wilson's request to the
New Jersey legislature for laws 20
stop stock watering, end trust build
ing and prevent monopoly differs In
only one particular from some of his
previous messages to that body
which were disregarded. But that
difference Is an Important one.
Governor Wilson speaks now, not

but as p~resident-elect Of the United
States, as the man whose policies are
approved by the American people.
