GAME IN FORESTS INCREASING.
Antelope Growing Less as Ranges
Are Fenced, According to Census
Taken by Government.

Denver.-A recent census of game
animals ON the national forests In
Colorado shows a general increase
over the 1914 count in all species ex-
cepting antelope. according to a re-
port submitted by the district forest
service to the United States Biologi-
cal Survey in Washington.
OF the predatory animals in the ma
tional forest areas, coyotes and wild
cats are increasing, while mountain
lions and wolves. according to the
1915 count. show slight decrease.
There were thirty antelope in the for
ests last winter, or five less than the
number in 1914.
Practically all the big game areas
in Colorado are included within the
national forests. the report states.
While there are many antelope on
ranges outside the national forests,
their numbers are gradually decreas-
ing, due to the fencing up of these
ranges.
In the winter of 1915 there were
5,191 elk on the national forests, as
compared to 1898 in 1914. The count
on mountain sheep in 1915 was 7,4S2,
as against 7,l46 in 1914. There were
21,5Ol black-tailed deer on the forest
areas in 1915, as against 1866 the
year before. The count on beaver
was 1O,295 in 1915. compared to g..
$40 In 1914. There were 1866 black
bear last year and 1.499 in 1914. Es-
Inmates on the silver tip bear within
the forests showed 126 as against 125
in 1914.
There were lis foxes in the Colo
rado national forests, according to
the 1915 census. The Routt national
forest reported 81 wild dogs.
During the last three years 275
elk have been shipped into Colorado
from the Yellowstone park.

More Coal, Les. Accidents, Last Year.

More Coal, Less Accidents, Last Year.
An increase IN coal production and
decrease in the number of fatal ac-
cidents in the mines are shown in the
annual report of James Dalrymple,
state coal mine inspector, which was
presented to Governor Carlson. In
1915 Colorado produced S,715,397 tons
of coal, the report shows. This was
an increase of 513,794 tons more than
the production in 1914 There were
1,SG6,061 tons Of Ignite produced and
6,137,176 tons of bituminous. There
were 7,174 men employed as miners
and 1868 men employed in and
about the mines. Sixty-one men were
killed underground and three on the
surface, making fatality total OF
sixty-four. The number of men
killed per 1000 employed was ST.,
while in 1914 it was z. The number
of men injured per 1000 employed,
however, increased from 1876 to 567.
The only reason Inspector Dalrymple
can give for the increase In the non
fatal accidents is greater attention on
the part of mine officials in report
ing the accidents.

in the soil is the most potent factor
in the failure Of red clover in these

fungous diseases or insect enemies,
must also be overcome. Lining and
proper drainage will overcome the
soil acidity. The insect and fungous

USEFULNESS OF FARM HORSE
Animal viii Be Practically as It Has
Been Trained During First Few
Months Of Its Life.

The usefulness of a horse depends
upon its early training. The first part
of this training should be completed
before the colt is year old. During
this period its disposition is formed and
its future character is fixed. It will
be docile, tractable, and gentle, pre-
cisely as 1t has been raised during the
first few months of its life; and what.
ever vices it may develop in the fu-
ture will all be due to errors made

WARNS AGAINST
HUGHES ELECTION
Senator Reed of Missouri Flags Atti-
tude Of Republican Party Toward
Wilson Peace Policies.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Reviewing
the record of the democratic admin
istration, Senator Reed of Missouri
told the senate today that the repub-
lican party demanded a change, which,
if granted by the people, would mean
the precipitation of America into war
and the undoing of national prosperi-
ty built up by the industrial, CONNER
cial and banking reforms during the
term of President Wilson.
"If Mr.. Hughes is to be elected to
the presidency" said Senator Reed
then it is notice to all the world that
America has repudiated Wilson's pol
icy of peace for the Observation-Disclosures
policy of war"
Senator Reed referred to Mr.. Hughes
criticisms of the administration policy
and reviewed utterances of Mr.. RoOse-
welt since the war. He declared Mr..
Hughes lin complete accord with
man who has persistently insisted we
should have interviewed against Ger
many when she invaded Belgium; in
complete accord with man who re-
fers in coarse language to the presi
dent as a 'mollycoddle,' a man of 'wea
sci word in complete accord with a
man who falsely asserts that we were
bound by treaty to engage in the con-
fict against Germany; in complete &C
cord with a man who demands univer-
sal military service and war prepara-
ton upon a scale not hitherto dreamed
Of"
Senator Reed gave figures to show
that bank deposits increased in Pres
ident Wilson's first three years 29.5
per cent, or $685., 464. SIS; that bank
resources increased 37.6 per cent, or
81 ,699 100000, and that resources
reached an aggregate of $28,320 1885,
600
The actual increase under Wilson,,
said Senator Reed, was nearly four
times as great as under Roosevelt and
almost three times as great as under
Taft"

OCTOBER sIS THE FIRST MEETING
"SOur Grapes" Will Probably Be Topic
Discussed by the Speaker On
That Occasion.

Three good entertainers for the Dc
tober, November and March meetings
of the Moline After Dinner club have
been booked by ]. NJ. Dale, secretary.
He is now busy in an effort to compete
the seaSon's schedule. MIR. Dale, after
several months of corresponding, has
prevailed on Edward Amherst OFT to
rearrange his schedule so that he can
visit Moline in October and lecture at
the opening fall meeting of the local
club, which falls on Oct. 8. For the
November session he has booked Ng
Poon Chew, the Chinese Mark Twain,
who has been heard in the tri-cities
on a previous occasion; and Strickland
". Gillian, the humorist, will be the
entertainer for March.
Mr.. OFT will probably lecture on
Sour Grapes" in which he answers
interesting questions on ethics of hi
ology. He is an author of repute, some
of his textbooks being used in the best
colleges and high schools. For II
years he was dean of the college of
oratory and English at Drake univers-
ity, and he was pioneer in pOpulariz-
ing biological ethics. Eugenics is not
a fad with him. He has worked out a
practical breeding guide on Mendel's
laws for poultry and stock breeders.
Sour Grapes, or Heredity and Mar
riage' has been delivered more than
two thousand times and has been heard
by more than a million people.
The Chinese journalist and states
man is the man who is best equipped
to throw new light in abundance on
the deep and dark mysteries of China,
one of the greatest countries in all the
world.
Explains COuntry's Problems.
The lectures of Ng Poon Chew are
interesting and profitable studies of
Chinese problems of vital concern and
of worldwide interest He not only
charms the ear with his delightful
platform powers, but imparts informa-
ton of real value and peculiar inter
est to all thinking people. He has a
keen sense of humor, which has won
him the name of the Chinese Mark
Twain.
Mr.. Gillian is conceded to be the
foremost humOrist on the American
platform today and his entertainments
are always appreciated and greatly en-
joyed wherever he appears.
