An Attractive Publication

The most attractive railroad pnbli-
cation that has appeared SO far this
season ia 1.-The Peaks Of the Rockies, -
being distributed by the Denver d
Rio Grande Railroad. A beautiful
cover, designed by that we'll known
artist, Paul Gregg, breathes OF the
snow-clad heights Of the mountain
land. The text is by the gifted de-
scriptive writer, Edwin L. Ssbin.
One of the most interesting and val
liable features Of the publication Is .
list of the various mountain ranges
in Colorado, Utah and New Mexicn
and the individual peaks Of which
they are composed, all most carefully
compiled by the railroad company
and checked by the Colorado Noun
tain club. The names. locations and
attitudes of 155 mountains ranging
from 1900 to 14,4O3 feet are given.
This table is of especial interest in
connection with the following state
ment recently made by Enos A. Mills,
the noted Colorado naturalist and
writer: Colorado has 1000 peaks
(named and unnamed) that rise more
than two miles into the sky. About
$50 of these reach up beyond 1900
feet In altitude. There are more than
twice as many peaks Of l4,0OO feet In
Colorado IS In all the other states OF
the Union" The book Is entirely de-
voted to the Rockies and contains
matter of appealing interest to the
mountain climber. The book is en-
bellished with 80 Illustrations Of the
more prominent peaks.

Deer and Other Game Animals On
the Increase

A late issue OF the Steamboat Pilot
says:
1t has been estimated by those in q
position to speak with authority and
from personal knowledge, that there
are in the territory which until few
years ago was Routt county. and
which now embraces the counties Of
Routt and Motfat, approximately
8, 900 wild game animals exclusively
of the predatory kind. This includes
deer, elk, antelope, aud sheep. OF the
FIRST named there are alb ut 1900,
divided among the various districts
as follows: Routt forest north and
east of Steamboat, 800; Flat Top dis
trict, 800; Juniper mountain district,
100: Black mountain district 200;
Yampa district, lying outsideof Flat
tops, 100. OF elk there are two scat
tered bands of fifty each north Of
Steamboat; 800 In the Williams Fork
country; Flat Tops, 300
The few antelope are widely scat
tered and it Is hard to estimate with
any degree of certainty the number
within the bounds of the two counties,
but from the most authentic sources
Of information 1t Is believed that
there are at least fifty In the country
northwest of Craig. embracing an
area fifty by sixty miles. and fifty
more in the Dry lake country south
Of Maybell.
or mountain sheep there are in the
territory extending from Williams
fork to the southern line Of ROutt and
Moffat counties about 100. AS recent
ly as 1912 there we're In this same ter
ritory about 500 of these animals, but
for some reason there has been de-
crease in their numbers, while other
game animals have increased at the
rate OF about u per cent pc. year.
With the protection that ia being
afforded the game atpresentit should
be but few years until the season
may be re-opened and residents given
. chance at the game they have
Fhelped to preserve.

Prospective Mining Barons

A recent letter from John WeiskOpf
formerly publisher Of the Sentinel re-
ports glowing prospects for the Cal
ientes Mining company, operating In
the Fulford district, south Of Eagle,
and which 10 controlled by himself,
tJ.~L. Norvell OF Steamboat Springs,
and John A. Story Of Meeker. Mr..
Weiskopf predicts that this will be
the banner year In the history OF
mining In Colorado, and states that
Eagle county is already beginning to
feel the effects, for car after car of
ore is being loaded at Eagle from the
silver mines not far from Fulford.
For two years these properties had
been idle. as it was thought that the
ore had pinched out, but recent de-
velopment has revealed the fact that
the veins become stronger rs depth
is gained.
Ore sacks are now arriving for the
use Of the Calientes company, and Mr..
Weiskopf thinks that by June ship
ments will begin from their claims
in the copper belt, rs well IS from the
gold belt. He states that II there ever
was . bonanza, the Morning Glory
claim of the company shows the ear
marks from wall to wall. Next to the
football appears q high grade ore
which runs well into five figures
Then comes medium grade material,
and on the hanging wall was encoun-
tered foot Of iron ore which was at
first thought vaiueless. Recent tests,
however, show that the black iron Is
wolframite, q tungstate of manganese,
the same rs found in the Nederland
field. The gold values run &lO4 al ton,
so Mr., Weiskopf believes that they
have,a big thing in their low value
stuff. -Steamboat Pilot.

Decoration Day

The great funeral day Of the loved and the
lost,
Memory counts them ALA wonderful
host,
And tender devotion orins. flowers and
tears,
To heal the heart wounds, of the long ago
years.
Let us never forget, why they suffered and
bled,
Let no unseemly mirth wrong the mem'ry
of the dead;
But give the whole day to loves tenderest
thought,
For the heroes whose blood our safety has
bought.

 ingenious arrangement has been effected by means of an electric fan which keeps several bal looms floating in a very mystify- ing manner at all times. It is of considerable interest to the child ren. while not a few grown-ups stop and watch the performance.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE
ENDORSES ]. N. LONTz

Resolutions indorsing the candidacy
congressional nomination and express
Ing grave doubt" as to the chances
of Finly II. Gray being elected in the
event of his nomination. were passed
by special committee OF the Wayne
County Democratic Central Committee
at meeting Sunday, it was announc-
ed today Sixteen names are signed
to the resolutions. The big majority OF
the other committeeman were repre-
sented by proxy at the meeting, it is
stated.
The signers are: John w. Harper,
chairman, r. o. Allen, assistant chair
man. DR.. j.. J. Grovenor, secretary.
Harry Schurman, treasurer. Walter
Hays, Wade Kennedy, Albert Thomas,
LATE White. J. w. Harter. Charles L.
White. Harold Duke, Edward Allen,
William langley, J. X. Dills, James
Carroll, c. c. Smith.
Text Of Resolution.
The resolutions read: 1.-The can
didacy of John M. Lontz for congress
Is making splendid progress through
out the Sixth district. This is not
surprising when the qualities Of the
man and the existing political con-
ditiOns are considered. The first con-
ditiOn that confronts the Democracy is
the significant fact that there will be
only two candidates for Congress in
the district in the campaign of this
year. The pertinent question is, where
Will the 5000 votes so that were cast
for the Progressive candidate in 1914?
1.-THE present representative, Mr..
Gray, was elected in 1914, by plural
ity over Mr.. Lynch, Republican, by
3,400 votes. II Democratic represen-
tative be elected next November he
must not only carry Mr.. Gray's vote,
but about 1000 additional votes. 1t is
no Disagreement of Mr.. Gray to admit,
in view of his greatly reduced plurality
Of 1914 from that of 1912, that there is
grave doubt OF his ability to secure
this needed additional vote either from
the Progressives or from any other
source.
Basis Of Success.
Can John Nj. LontZ secure enough
votes outside Of the ranks OF Demo-
racy to be elected? We believe he can
get these votes and be electd for the
following reasons.
First-He is a new man, free from
factional or political entanglements
and personal enmities.
Second-He is an alert and success
full business man with unusual execu-
tive and administrative ability; and
also well versed in principles of COM
mon law, on which all statutary law is
founded.
Third-He understands the political
issues of the day and is especially well
informed on the vital questions of the
tariff and the currency. AS large 'ex-
porter of lawn mowers, he is well
qualified to expose the fallacieG of the
"Stsndpat Scare Grow" that a high
tariff is necessary to protect American
labor from the pauper labor OF Europe.
Fourth--His personal popularity will
bring to him, if nominated, the aid of
1000 votes outside his party in Wayne
county alone.
t'ifth--iIe will carry Wayne county
as lie did in 1890 for Auditor, when the
Republicans had normal majority OF
about 5000, and his name on the
Democratic ticket will add strength to
the State and National tickets and
every county ticket in the district.
SiXth-He will meet the modern
need and growing demand for more
