All over the country the deer and
other wild game are suffering from the
deep snow and are approaching closer
and closer to the ranches in search CT
food. Game Warden Moser and num-
Der of helpers are kept busy feeding
! these animals and occasionally pulling
them out of the deep snow.

The heavy snow of last week caused
collapse of the kitchen roof of the
Hotel Colorado, doing damage to the
building of at least 81 700, and workmen
are now busy repairing the damage. 1t
was thought at first that the loss was
at least $1,000, but Mr.. Lucas says the
company was very fortunate that the
loss is not greater as the range and the
copper cooking vessels escaped damage.

Mrs. F. W. Adams, during her recent
visit to Denver, purchased some thor
oughbred White Leghorn cockerels,
four in number, and the birds arrived
Wednesday and We're added to the
Adams flock of Leghorns. They are
choice birds and we predict that Mrs.
| Adams will be entering the local poui-
try show next winter with some birds
that will cause the fanciers to sit up
and take notice.

Potatoes are worth from $1.30 to
$1.4O at present. Dealers are not very
anxious to buy and the producers are
not crazy to sell at this time. There is
too much danger of frost in transit to
warrant the risk. If the prices keep
up to the present notch or go higher u
little later there will be some lively
shipping as there are over 200 cars
stored in the Carbondale section alone, |
not to mention the other spud producing
sections of the county.

If you think the promoters of that
crazy herd law will never get enough
signatures to initiate the measure you
had better get that notion out Of your
noggin, and be quick about it. And
then you need not delude yourself with
the idea that it will have no possible
show to carry in the general election.
Stranger things have happened and #
you are obsessed with a feeling of Sc
curity, right there lies the danger. We
want you to keep your eyes and ears
open and be alert to this insidious dau-
ger which can only work great harm 20
Colorado if adopted.

Ed Claussen was down last Saturday
from his ranch near Carbondale and
made brief but pleasant call at this
office. Ed quite recently shipped a
carload of hogs to the Denver market
and sold at a very satisfactory figuc.
A few years ago when the Post advo.
Gated pork production as a profitable
side line to farming he was told by a
farmer in the Carbondale country that
hog growing could not be made to pay
in Garfield county. That farmer was
sincere in his statement, but few
farmers have since shown that he was
wrong. Some are doing we'll with hogs. |

George Sievers came down from his
ranch near Carbondale yesterday and |
while in this office unburdening hin-
self of some coin which the editor need
ed worse than he did he was asked if
he had many potatoes to sell. "When
ever you are ready to quote me a 50
price will show you that L can supply |
a few ears on very short notice. is
the reply he made to the query. This
is not the first time it has been made
plain to us that come of our farmers
o;e holding out for So figure. Well,
here's hoping they get it. We never
hegrudge the farmer anything that
comes to him in the way of good prices.
