J. BARLEYCORN, BAD DRIVER
His Hands Shake. His Knees Wobbls

John Barleycorn is bad chauffeur.

this reckless driver to sit at the wheel

That is why little sympathy is felt

More Coal, Less Accidents, Last Year

MORE Sodi, Less ACCluentS, Last year.
An increase in coal production and
a 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,7l5,397 tons
of coal, the report shows. This was
an increase of 5l3.79i tons more than
the production in 1914. There were
l,SG6.0Gl tons Of Ignite produced and
6.l37,l;6 tons OF bituminous. There
were 7.ll men employed as miners
and l2.563 men employed in and
about the mines. Sixty-one men were
killed underground and three on the
surface. making a fatality total Of
sixty.four. The number of men
hn, per 1000 employed was 81,
win. in 1914 1t was Z. The number
of mn injured per 1000 employed,
howey>r. increased from 1856 TO 56.7.
The Only reason Inspector Dalrymple

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

Taken by Government.
Denver.-A recent census of game
animals on the national forests III
Colorado shows a general increase
over the 1914 count in all species ex'
cepting antelope, according TO 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 a 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
1891 elk on the national forests, as
compared to 3,39S in 1914. The count
on mountain sheep in 1915 was 7,4S2.
as against 7,1iG in 1914 There were
21,501 black-tailed deer on the forest
areas in 1915. as against 1866 the
year before. The count on beaver
was 1925 in 1915. compared to s.
$40 in 1914. There were 1866 black
bear last year and 1899 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
RADIO 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.
