c. c. Parks has purchased of Morgan
Gavin a new Studebaker car of the
; latest model and last Sunday drove the
new machine to Glenwood from GraIi
Junction where it had been shipped as
a part of a carload. Mr.. Parks, j. H.
Fesler and C. X. Mccarthy accompa-
MED Morgan, and they gave the car
good try-out as they found the roads
perfectly miserable in Mesa county,
but said they were excellent nearly all
of the distance through Garfield coun-
ty. They made the 100 mile drive in
just seven hours which they thought
was very good for bran new car and
in consideration of the very bad roads
over a considerable portion of the dis
tance.
If the Kent leasing bill is drawn with
a view of playing into the hands of big
corporations and rich cattlemen We
don t blame the stOckmen Of this coun-
try for opposing it. We believe in pro-
tecting the small cattlemen and the
contiguous farmers in the use of the
range and that's why We like the for
est reserve plan. We know some stock
men who have lost their range rights
on the forest through Hon-use and they
are . little sore shout it, bat they
must learn that the range is for uss
aad not for abuse and The governnent
cannot be expected to hold . ralss
right for them if they don I use II. Il
is like many other thing; the esadi-
tions must be met q tAsrs is troubls.
We are sorry that ssos Of our friends
cant get permits for - many cattle
as they would like 70 pst o. the ra.se,
but sometimes it can't Be done without
depriving someone else Of . privilege
who is quite As much entitled to It -
they are. To . certain extent ws ars
our brothers keeper, and ve must have
. little care to his rights wAils tAisk. |
