Germany has not stopped operations

Hence it must be presumed that so
far as the administration is concern

THE VALLEY BANKS

The Del Norte Prospector, in it's
annual report of the aggregate bank
ing situation of the San Luis Valley,
finds at the close of 1915 as fol-
lows:
''Of the sixteen principal banks
of the San Luis Valley, the pub
lished statements made for Dec. 81
1915, show capital stock of $615,-
164. Resources, $3,3S3,33 with
loans and discounts of $2,315,-
47O.SS.
Gas compared with May 1, 1915,
statements, it shows an increase of
capital and surplus of s73,237.04.
Increase in resources 81, ,156,092.16.
Increase of loans S992,622.6S.
"The average reserve shows that,
while the banks are well loaned out
and doing a good business, they are
in healthy condition and the valley
in general has added to it's actual
wealth in cash, a little more than
one million dollars during 1915. OF
this it will be shown that Del Norte
has increased more in proportion
than any other town in the valley
The increase in the two Del Norte
banks during this time is s43,990.77
which is very close to the amount
of actual profits on the sheep indus
try in this locality"

VISTA WANTS
I CARNEGIE LIBRARY

In spite of the extreme cold, more
than thirty ladies gathered at City
hall Monday night to confer in re-
gard to a subject now uppermost in
the feminine minds of Monte Vista
the establishment and support of a
public library. Mrs. l.. B. Sylvester
presided, and after outlining the OBJ
iect of the meeting, called upon Mrs.
Stephenson as one of the "old guard"
left of the NJ. v Library association,
who gave brief history of the
trials, disappointments and discour-
agements of that corporation. The
spirit of the meeting showed de-
termination for a library that shall
be credit to the town, and the con-
sensus of opinion favored a Carnegie
as first choice; failing this, other
schemes will be resorted to. Sew
eral of those present gave favorable
accounts of the Carnegie Libraries as
established in various cities. Hearty
applause followed the remarks of
one lady, who, after describing a
visit to the Del Norte library, to
which she accorded much praise,
closed by saying: at is all right for
that town, but is not good enough
for this" The meeting was harmo-
to the last Thursday in the month.

IMPORTANT STATE BUREAU FORCED To BEG FOR
ASSISTANCE ON ACCOUNT OF VETO ACT OF GOVERNOR

The State Bureau of Child and
aunaal Protection is appealing to
the fathers and mothers of Colorado
for financial aid in carrying. on their
work. Following is their appeal in
part
On May 8, 1915, Governor Carlson
vetoed the appropriation made by
the legislature for the State Bureau
of Child and Animal Protection,
leaving it without funds to do it's
work for the rest of his term of Of
fee. He also refused to authorize
the publication of it's biennial re-
mort. Nothing of the kind has oc-
Cured before during the fourteen
years of the bureaus existence.
He gives what he calls three ''rea-
sons" for his veto: first, that it is
private society,"" not responsible to
the state and not entitled to sup
port by the state; second, that the
bureaus work for children is dup

State Home for Dependent Children;
third, that it's work for animals
should be done by the game war;
Hens.
We wish to say that the reason
given for the veto are not the opin-
ons held by the governors of Colo
rado for the past fourteen years,

approved the appropriations during

FEBRUARY is POISON
MONTH FOR VALLEY

Commencing February 1st, the
Rio Grande Sheep and Wool Grow
ers' association have started a cam
raign Cs determination against coy
otes ard the entire month will be de-
voted to systematic placing of
poison pellets" from which it is ex-
pected that a great deal of good will
result to the flock masters and stock
men generally.
The plan is being carried out in
several counties of the valley and a
great many farmers and stockmen
will put out poison during the
month. The Forest service is also
cooperating in the poison movement
at this time.
The association has agreed to fur
nish all the prepared poison that
tanned of F. H. Lauer or at the Full
Ter drug store. 1t Is desired that a
report be made by each one putting
out the poison in order that the sue
cess of the undertaking may be de-
termined.
All parties owning dogs are ad-
vised to keep their pets tied up dur
ing poison month.
The coyotes are getting so numer-
Gus in the valley that the annual loss
in live stock is very considerable.
Tho 1Oaa op account of prada forv
animals in Saguache county alone
last year has been estimated at $780,
900. While sheep are taken in
greater numbers than other animals,
a good many calves are killed each
year by the coyotes.
