yer, Supervisor Robert E. Clark, Lead
vile, and Supervisor Arthur T. Upson
of the Sopris office at Aspen, are here
to join Supervisors Blair and French in
checking over estimates and plans sor
the fiscal year 1918. Supervisors Clark,
Upson, Blair and French also expect to
check over all applications for sheep
range in an effort to furnish, if posi-
BILE, range for all the local sheep appli-
cants. There are more applications on
file than ever before and indications
are all the forest range will be stocked
to its fullest capacity. Messrs. French
and Blair are now busily engaged in
checking over and approving, the cattle
and horse grazing applications and the
patrons of the forest will be notified
within the next few days in regard to

At the meeting of the Glenwood bus
ness men at luncheon at the Williams
last Monday the chief matter of discus
sion was the Mcclure pass road. The
route of the road was shown by map
and it was said that 1t was by no
means difficult mountain road to
build. Every effort possible will be
made to induce the state highway COM
mission to make an appropriation for
this road and build it this summer. The
other matter which came up for discus
sion was the Pabor county bill and it
was the sense of the meeting that Sena
tor Napier had the power to kill this
bill and he was requested to do so. Our
people feel that it is not enough that
Senator Napier should vote against this
measure, but that he should use all
possible opposition to its passage.
Mayor Thorson and R. c. Alfred were
added to the regular luncheon commit
tee to help entertain the farmers who
will be in the city next Saturday.
