FOREST FIRES
State and Nation Join in Fire
Fighting

The report of a conference on
forest fire protection by the various
states has just been issued by the
federal department of agriculture.
This conference was attended by
representatives from all of the New
England states, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Mime
sofa. Oregon and Washington.
The meeting was called to dis
cuss the section of the Weeks Law
which authorizes cooperation be-
tween the federal government and
the states in protecting from fire
forests situated on the watersheds
of navigable streams. The con-
ference considered not only the
details of carrying out the law, but
tha results which the law has ac-
complished and the promise which
it gives of future accomplishment.
The various subjects discussed
included patrol work, cooperation
with private owners of timberland,
and cooperation with other protec-
tive agencies and with railroads.
The conference is said to have
established beyond a doubt the
great value of fire lookout stations
and towers, and the imperative
need of telephone communication,
as well as other permanent con-
struction work, to include roads
and trails. In all of these activi-
ties the value of cooperation be-
tween the various agencies was
emphasized, and it was brought
out that efficiency could be raised
and expenses lowered when state,
nation, lumber companies; and
private individuals work together
in accordance with a plan evolved
by all.
1t was shown that the disposal
of the slash left after numbering
means the elimination of a great
source of danger from fires. In
some cases it was shown that it
was best to dispose of this material
by burning it under supervision
when there was little danger from
fire. In other cases it was proved
to be sufficient to lop the branches,

Bum Prophet

We have lost all faith in the
woodchuck, or grounding, as a
weather prophet. On the I'd when
he failed to see his shadow it was
supposed that spring woald be here
the next dav but it is presumed
that his hogship has been frozen
stiff since as the thermometer has
been sinking down to the lowest
depths nightly. Yesterday morn
ing the instruments registered 46
below zero and all the week since
Sunday it has not failed to touch
the thirty mark any night.

and decay quickly.
In the discussion of actual fire
fighting it was pointed out that the
secret of the suppression and con-
troll of fires in the woods is not
essentially different from that in
the city, and lies in having train
ed and dependable fre-fghting
organization.

INVESTIGATING
ILLEGAL REGISTRATION

United States District Attorney
Tedrow has been in Trinidad dur
ing the past week, where he has
been in personal charge of an in
vestigation of alleged naturaliza-
ton and registration frauds which
federal inspectors are said to have
discovered in Las Animas and
Huerfano counties. Because of
complaints from residents Of Cos
tilla and ConeJos counties, special
agents of the department of justice
at Washington have been sent to
those districts. Mr.. Tedrow has
announced that he is looking for
the "higher- ups' who have been
guilty of these nefarious practices
rather than their ignorant dupes.

HONOR AMONG THIEVES

Perhaps the worst defeated man
in the state is Edwin V. Brake,
the labor skate, who through
treachery to labor on one hand and
duplicity to real Democracy on the
other, earned what was coming to
him. The Monte Vista Graphic's
campaign was waged chiefly for
Brake, and no doubt it did "the
party" lot Of good.

VICTOR HUGO SAID:

A day will come when the only
battlefield will be the market open
to commerce and the mind OPEN
ing to new ideas. A day will
come when bullets and bomb
shells will be replaced by votes, by
the universal suffrage of nations,
by the venerable arbitration of a
great sovereign senate, which will
be to Europe what the parliament
is to England, what the diet is to
Germany, what the Legislative as
sembly is to France. A day will
come when cannon will be ex-
hibited in public museums, just as
an instrument of torture is now,
and people will be astonished how
such a thing could have been. A
day will come when these two i'm
mense groups, the United States
of America and the United States
of Europe, shall be seen placed in
the presence of each other, extend
ing the hand of fellowship across
the ocean.

NEW LAW IN AID
OF SETTLEMENT

Large areas of public lands here
tofore withheld from all forms of
entry because of the possible
presence of mineral deposits, are
now open to agricultural settle
ment under law which went into
effect July II, 1914. Entry under
the new act involves the retention
by the Government of title to GER
tain specified minerals believed to
underlie the lands. This sort of
agricultural entry of coal land has
been allowed since June 90, 1910,
and of oil land in Utah since
August "a, 1912 The present law
extends this right of nonmineral
entry to all public lands withdrawn
classified or valuable for phos-
phate, nitrate, potash, oil, gas, or
asphaltic minerals Any form of
nonmineral filing may be made
homestead, desert land, timber and
stone, State selection, or any
other-the Government reserving
the mineral deposits for which the
lands are believed to be valuable
and the right to prospect for and
mine them, If, for example, a man
should make entry in one of the
great phosphate fields of Florida,
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming or Mon
tana his patent would give him
the right to the surface and to all
which might thereafter
be found except phosphate. Or if
his homestead should be in one of
the oil fields of California, Wyom-
ing, Utah, Colorado or Louisiana,
he would receive patent to every
thing but oil and gas. Before the
government or its assignee comes
on his land to prospect for phos-
phate or for oil, the entryman is
secured against any damages which
he may sustain in the course of
the prospecting or mining

The asphalt lake at Trinidad occu.

senses of the word. for there are well
defined shores and islands scattered
through II at intervals. nnd the surface
Is In constant motion. There are also
movements which may I've ascrlbed to
currents and eddles. The center Of the
lake is about foot higher than the
edges. this relation being maintained,
although the lake as n whole has been
lowered by the constant removal Of
material from II.
The depth Of the deposit is not ac.
curately known. but the lake fills up
quickly when the surface is removed.
The surface Is not level. but Is com.
posed of irregular tumescent masses OF
various sizes. As the spaces between
are always full OF water. these masses

evolves gas. which consists largely OF

The asphalt from Trinidad In It's

with picks, and the pieces are carted
