One Railway Mail Clerk
will Be Taken Off

Hereafter letters can be mailed
only on the train arriving from
Denver at 1O:37 a. m. and on the
train leaving for Denver at 3:O4
p. m. The mail clerk who worked
on the morning train down and on
the afternoon train up has been
taken off. These trains will still
carry mail as before but the mail
will be pouched in the postoffices
before being taken to the trains
and no letters can be handed in at
the stations as heretofore.
This arrangement is in accord
with the governments war policy
of retrenchment and the public will
have to adjust itself to the new
system, and mail their letters at
the Postoffice de Marihugh. Jim
my of the Hot Springs and others
who have been in the habit of
doing all their mailing at the train
will find the new arrangement
little bothersome, and the clerks
at the local postoffice will have
little extra work to perform but
Uncle Sam doesn' care about that.
Only one mail clerk will be re-
quired for the train service on the
Clear Creek line, and he will come
up in the morning and return to
Denver in the afternoon.

Pneumonia Claims
A Summer Victim

Thomas Griffith, AZ, miner who
had long been a resident of this
county, died in his room in the
Bronson Rooming House, in this
city, Thursday, June 2l, of pneu-
monia.
Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the mans
relatives, but Thursday of this
week brother, Garfield Griffith,
arrived from Seattle, Wash, and
arranged for the bnrial Relatives
were known to live in johnson,
Kansas, but a Telegram was mis-
sent to another town of very
similar name, causing considerable
delay. Finally sister-in-law was
reached in Kansas, and after she
had come to Denver the brother
in Seattle was notified.
Griffith had gone out to Home
stead, Oregon, some months ago
to work for Emmet Galligan, and
contracted an illness from which
he never recovered. 1t finally de-
veloped into pneumonia of both
lungs and he was too weak to over
come the ravages of the disease.
The funeral will be held Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows. Mr..

National Forests To
Offset Coal Shortage

1t is the opinion of forestry
officials that the demand for fuel
wood from the national forests
next winter will exceed ali previous
records. A possible coal shortage
thru increased industrial demand
and lack of adequate transporta-
ton facilities may cause many
western communities to turn to the
national forests for a greater por-
ton of their fuel supplies.
The supervisors of the 153
national forests have been in
structed to afford all possible
facilities to local residents wishing
to obtain cordwood, which settlers
may obtain free for their home
use and which is sold at low rates
to persons cutting and hauling in
order to sell to others. Since the
material thus used is mainly dead
timber, its removal. it is explained,
helps to clear up the forests and
lessen the fire menace. Timber
which is insect infested, or old and
deterioratipg, or otherwise dam
aged or undesirable from the
forester's standpoint is also dis
posed of for fuel purposes. Where
sawmills are operating in the
woods at points within hauling
distance of towns, chances prevail
for obtaining slabs and other
material that ordinarily goes to
waste. Since, however, green or
wet wood is undesirable for i'm
mediate use, forest officers suggest
the storing of cordwood we'll in
advance of winter. Also, since coal
stoves and furnaces usually require
special CRATES to permit of sub
stitution, the householder is urged
to look we'll ahead and decide be-
forehand as to how he will keep
warm and what he will feed the
kitchen stove next winter.
Applicants for fuelwood in this
district are directed to communi-
cate with w. B. Kelso, the local
forest ranger
