Opposition to Proposed Herd Law.

Reports from practically every part
of the state, made at meeting of
the livestock and agricultural bureau
of the Civic Association in Denver,
show a determined and spirited op-
position to the so-called herd law for
which initiative petitions are being
circulated. The report cites that all
stockmen have always used the pub

fenced their growing crops to keep
the stock out, which was legalized in
the present fence law. The first sec
ton of the proposed law, which de-
clares that "the owner, person in

Paris, May 25.-The Germans have
re-occupied Fort Douaumont, while
proach to that position.
This announcement is made in the
official communication issued by the
French war office which says two new
divisions of Bavarians effected the re-
capture after a series of furious at
tacks. The battle around Verdun
continues to rage with violence un.
exampled even in this region. The
text of the statement reads:
"On the left bank of the Meuse the
infantry action continued east of LIE
Mort Homme. Several times our ar
tillery fire stopped the enemy, who
had attempted to debouch from the
village of Cumieres. During the af-
ternoon spirited counter attack en-
abled US to retake trenches situated
on the southern outskirt of the vii
lage. On the right bank the lombard
ment was redoubled in the region of
Fort Douaumont, on which the enemy
had particularly set himself. Furious
attacks with two Bavarian divisions,
newly arrived on this front, succeeded
each other all day. After several
fruitless attempts and enormous
losses, the enemy succeeded in reoc-
capying the ruins of the fort. Our
troops hold the immediate approach.
About the same time an attempt to
flank our positions in the Cailette
wood completely failed under our
fire"
Without full possession of the line
from Pepper hill to Vaux fort the Ger
mans cannot hope to get any nearer
to the capture of Verdun. Even if
they succeeded in taking this line
they could not hold it unless they
were also in possession of hill No

flank the line.
Driven to desperation by seeing so
much of its work undone. the German
commander hurled attack after attack
against Fort Douaumont At the same
time it has kept up its onslaught on
the left bank of the river to prevent
the French transferring any forces to
the main scene of attack.

sentiDg the railroads affected by the
proposed order at the conference of
the engineers with d. S. Hooker, en-
gineer of the commission. The engi-
neer declared that the expense of
such work would be too great for the
railroads.
The commission, however, is pre-
pairing to issue an order for uniform
grade crossings. The total cost, 1t is
estimated by Engineer Hooker, will be
less than $1,250,000. The commission
intends that this expense be spread
over number of years.
In an estimate of the cost of the
preparation of sketches of the cross
ings the railroad engineers gave the
cost at $12 per crossing, while Mr..
Hooker showed that the maximum
cost would be So per crossing.
