Grave danger exists of the Ameri-
can breed of antelope becoming en-
tirely extinct. The biological survey
of the department of agriculture has
taken official cognizance of this fact,
and every effort is being made by
DIR. Henry W. Henshaw. chief of the
survey, to establish government
owned herd OF those beautiful, and
formerly very plentiful animals.
When the country was confronted
with the fact few years ago that
the American bison was about to be-
come extinct, prompt measures saved
this animal to the country. Herds
were established, the huge creatures
being shipped to the proper environ
ment and food provided when neces-
sary. With the antelope, however,
the solution is not so easy, on account
of the great difficulty in catching
them alive, their extreme nervous
ness and their delicate health. II Is
well night impossible to ship an an
telope any distance by rail, as they
die in the close confinement nsces-
sary for such trip. A normal bis
on calf Dr. Henshaw says. is almost
always hardy and strong. The an
telope calf born in captivity, though
apparently perfectly healthy, seldom
reaches maturity. The government
has procured at the expense Of .
great deal of time and trouble, eight
or nine antelope which are now on
the bison range in Montana. the old
Flathead Indian reservation. They
were placed there some time ago, but
the numbers of the herd do not seem
to increase to any extent.

Board Of Trade Chooses

A very interesting meeting of the

who was in Silverton
The president sttted the meeting
had been called for 3xo purposes. Mr..
Clay then said herlSad gone over the
proposition of Louis weyman to in
vestigate the practcability of a
highway to the north of the Colorado
river to the Grard Canon; that he
had consulted with men familiar
with the portion Of the country; that
he had studied contour maps and had
became convinced that it would be
folly for the board Of trade to spend
money making sadh Investigation;
that after giving the matter much
consideration he was of the opinion
that the efforts of our people should
be directed To securing the completion
Of the road between pagosa Springs
and the San Luis valley and that our
natural outlet to California was via
Shiprock and Gallup. Mr.. Clay went
over the present Status of the road
and his information of its condition
from Gallup to California and said
it was not clear VITA him that even
money should be spent going over the
proposed line between Shiproek and
the Grand Canon. At any rate this
latter proposition could be taken up
later. much depending on the report
of the film company to send man,
and then 10 inis4S -4be welisto have
him go over the established route,
giving special attention to the Mesa
Verde National park ruins.
The question was debated by all
present resulting in motion by Di-
rector Pickerill, seconded by Direct
or Clifford, that the board of trade
endorse the highway to the south and
west as laid out by way of Shiprock
and Gallup. This motion met with a
unanimous vote.
1t was then decided that the eff
forts of the board of trade and the
people generally should be directed
towards securing the completion of
the work already planned, that the
matter of connecting links and good
roads was the most vital question be-
fore the people of this southwest sec
tion and to this end strong dele
cation should be at Colorado Springs
on the 18th and 10th.
Mr.. A. F. Hood then said it had
been suggested that now would be a
fine opportunity for some one to visit
the overcrowded farming districts Of
Illinois and inform the farmers of the
advantages Of this southwest section,
endeavoring to have a delegation visit
the basin to investigate. Mr.. Hood
said the Cortez people had taken the
matter up and if the Cortez and Du-
range people xeye willing to assist
he would put IN IL couple of months
at largely his own expense interest
ing farmers to locate in this part Of
Colorado; that the San Luis valley
and other sections had been success
full in securing settlers by this kind
of work.
The directors thought something of
this kind should be done and unani-
mously voted to assist Mr.. Hood.

|SI|zer a Man
Without a Party

ALBANY. Jan. with well
bossed Tammany senate glarine
across the corridor at defiant Re-
publican assembly, the New York leg
islature of 1914 convened here today
1t is the first New York legislature
that ever had an impeached COVER
nor in its membership, and the first
that has had free lance assembly,
although the Republicans elected a
majority of the members.
The Republicans had looked for
| ward to this session as an opportun-
ity for them to enact such progress
i've measures as workmen's compen-
sation, direct primaries and reform
ballot. A Republican conference in
New York pledged the assemblymen
to these measures, but the Democrats
forestalled the gathering of this po-
litical ammunition by passing these
same progressive bills during the fin
al days of the special session of the
Democratic legislature.
Former Governor Sulzer, now an
assemblyman, bears the unique dis
tinction of being virtually "a man
without party" He cast off the
Democrats following his impeach-
ment and was elected to the assembly
on the Progressive ticket. The Pro-
gressives however, have not included
him in their conferences and have not
numbered him as among those to be
relied upon by their party.
Just where and when the trouble
will begin is the problem. Former
Governor Sulzer is apt to vie with
Assemblyman Hinman in getting in
stiff resolution to investigate every
thing Democratic and Hinman wants
especially to dig into the expenditure
of the millions that have failed to
furnish the barge canal. Sulzer
wants most of all general uncover
ing of Tammany Halls use of money
at elections but is not averse to any
inquiry that would show up graft.
1t is limited that the Democratic
minority will join with the independ-
ents to do anything that will make
real Republican trouble, but this fea-
ture of the session will develope as
opportunity offers.
At the outset the leaders will try
to stave off the immediate introduc-
ton of investigation resolutions. They
prefer to have but few and these
deadly, but admittedly it will be hard
to hold back Sulzer and several more
Of the determined independents.
The senate although powerfully of
the Tammany persuasion is disposed
to be really good. With the govern
ors and with fear to do otherwise it
fairly we'll squared accounts with the
people by the reform Legislation put
through at the close of the extra ses-
sion. Now it sees no real reason for
legislation unless the governor has
something further in mind. OF course
the usual regular bills" will be in
troduced and very likely these will
come in early. Otherwise the senate
expects simply to keep an eye on the
assembly and be prepared at all times
to do the governors bidding.
Since Governor Glynn is out to
make a record and has declared that
he will advise the legislature by mes
sage from time to time, rather than
hand out everything at once, develop
ments will have to be awaited from
this source also.
The governor has to make several
of the most important appointments
in the gift of the executive and Tam
many has long been anxious to know
his choice. Governor Glynn has de-
clared for short session and few
| appointments.

We believe that the directors took
the right curse in delaying investi-
cation of the talked of line between
Shiprock and the Grand Canon, thus
Ireserving money to go ahead with
anything that may hasten the COM
pletion of lines running to Durango.
At the meeting great stress was laid
on the necessity of putting forth
every effort tn ave the work of COM
pleting the road between Pagosa
Springs and the San Luis valley
pushed early in the spring. There is
yet large amount of work to do and
it means more money from the state.
All southwestern Colorado and north
western New Mexico should be equal
ly interested. To tins ord it was de
termined to have strong delegation
at Colorado Springs TO present the
matter to those directing affairs and
secure their assistance, especially that
of the state highway commissioners
and Commissioner Ehrhart. 1t will
be shown that Durango is already
hooked up with Arizona and southern
California and that both sections are
anxious to reach eastern Colorado
through the Durango gateway and
that il is - the interest of Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Denver to Sc
cure the southern California travel.
This will be possible by way of Pa
gosa Springs or by Silverton and
Ouray. To this end J. A. Clay, Sena-
tor George West, A. F. Hood Of Du-
range and 2 r. Smith of Cortez have
already arranged to attend the Colo
RADIO Springs meeting, while G. II.
Charlton, president of the Motor club,
possibly the writer. and two or three
others may be added The idea is to
get men to go to Colorado Springs
who understand the situation and
can get right down to facts with the
authorities that be and also obtain
the aid Of the eastern portion of the
state. BY united action we are bound
to secure results.

Hello there. listenl If you was given

unless you were brainless fool, you
would commence upon the trunk, as
near mother earth as possible. And
this is the way to handle the Public
Defender Question. Cut into the law
trunk, swing the axe deep into our law
makers, and impress fast upon these
gentlemen, that the Masses want
Public Defenders appointed in every
state in the union.
/ would suggest that Influential
citizens in every county, in every state,
write to their representative in
Congress, suggesting to them to do
their utmost to have a law passed
appointing Public Defender in every
county in all the states.
II our national law makers will not
take this matter up, would further
suggest that prior to the meetings of
of the great political parties, in conven-
tion, in the next presidential campaign,
that the office of Public Defender be
Incorporated in one of the planks of the

Ii the Pubic Defender question is left
to the Legislature in the different states
to act upon-goodness gracious, the
people of the present generation will
all be in their graves before much, if
any, action is taken upon the subject.
Then, again, if each state should
attempt to take up the Public Defender
Question, there are states thata are now
growing with over-taxation too many
useless law missions, boards, official
gentle men of leisure, etc, and howl

hear the bones in our backs swapping
