The local stockmen are taking a
great deal of interest in devising ways
and means to improve their breed
of stock. In this connection the For
est Service is advancing the forming
of local bull associations. The prin-
cipIe involved is for the users of three
or more watersheds to form an asso-
citation. agree upon the breed and
grade OF bulls to be placed on the
range and then buy the bulls collec-
lively, changing them from one range
ting much longer service out OF the
individual naimal without inbreedine
and materially reducing the cost OF
the higher class bulls.
The question of the division OF
range between cows and steers is also
and in these times OF high price stock
1t is essential that the minimum per
centage Of calf crop be brought about
and It is claimed that one efficient
way of increasing that percentage II
by separating the cows from the
steers during the time the stock ar,
being grazed on the summer ranges
The plan is entirely practical wher
ever the local stockmen can get to
gether and agree on the division o
range and in such cases the Fores
Service is willing to cooperate to tn,
fullest extent.

Prof. H.,K. Blinn, the alfalfa special
est connected with the Colorado Agri-
culture college, expects to visit the
Western Slope within a short time. 1t
is the plan to have Mr. Blinn spend
at least couple of days on the project
if it can be so arranged Mr. Blinn
has devoted his time for a term of
years in the matter of studying alfalfa
problems. For this purpose he has
conducted an experiment station at
Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he de-
voted his time to the growing of this
crop and studying it. In order that
the best use of his time can be made,
some meetings will be held, but it is
suggested that any farmer having al
falfa troubles to discuss with Mr..
Blinn. send his name to this office
and the list will be made of those
who want help and an effort will be
made to get Mr.. Blinn to their farms
so that the matter can be discussed in
the field. This is an opportunity to
clear up that old trouble with the field
Those interested are asked to send
in their names at once to H. A. Lind
gren, Montrose. Colorado.
The pure bred live stock owners of
Delta are planning to organize a pure
bred live stock association in the near
future. the purpose of the organiza-
tion being to assist in the develop
ment of live stock industries This is
an excellent move and great deal
of good would result If every farmer
would use pure bred sire OF the proper
standard in his breeding.

area. Just before the fire was noticed
a freight train passed through that. sec

sumably originated from a spark from

a dense column and was seen for a

flames were coming right up to the
David Burrell house and barn and
men could be seen fighting the fire.

Private Forrest G. Paine of l com-

to a friend here that the boys are far
ing we'll at the Boise barracks. Private
Paine was a member Of the bridge
guard here during the spring n
summer and now cook of his company
so he knows whereof he speaks when
he says the men are faring well as to
eats. He quotes the menu for dinner:
Roast beef with gravy, new potatoes
string beans, tomatoes, beet pickles,
ice cream, bread, butter and the best
of coffee. Since the war department
has decided to put the United States
army on a basis akin to that in the
European armies the infantry Will
hereafter number $50 men when at
war strength, with six officers to the
company instead of three as at present,
and this induced one of the men at
Boise to remark that the innovation
will cause them to wear their arms
out saluting officers unless they adopt
the method which used to be u IN
vogue in the old army of looking the
other way when an officer is seen
approaching. It always worked, fol-
an officer car not be saluted when he
is not seen.

JOHN T|LLMAN
BRINGS IN RICH.
SAMPLESOF ORE

John Tillman came into camp this
week with some samples of silver and
lead ore taken from his claims up Min
eral creek North of Ray. Quite a
crowd of prospectors and mining men
gathered round John, for it is generally
understood that when John Tillman
brings in the samples he has the real
goods. 1t was in 1906 that John Till
mans name was first spoken of up
Mineral creek gulch although he has
prospected over the territory since
The Ray Central copper company was
doing big development work. Tillman
was digging away up on the hill east
of the Ray Central holdings. One day
several officials of the big company
visited the scene of his activities and
little later purchased his claims. Many
prospector did the same thing in
smaller way about the same time and
taking the purchase money went back
to where conveniences were better but
not John Tillman. He believed in
future for Ray and stayed on digging
and delving for hidden wealth. It is
to be hoped and it looks like John Till
man had again made a strike. So far
no negotiations have been made but it
is rumored that Eastern men will be
here in few days to look over the
property.
