ABOLISH NORTHERN PORTION
OF PIKE NATIONAL FOREST

acres OF agricultural land had been
discovered" within the forest re-
serves of the western states. This,
too, Is an interference with the ag-
rfcultural development of our coun-
try, and congress should take action
to restore these lands to entry and
Development Action should be TAX
en- at this time, as the lands will
be badly needed after the war, when
hundreds of thousands of returning
soldiers and sailors will be seeking
homes in the great empire of the
west.
The present forest reserves in Col
orado cover an area of about 10 900 =
900 acres; forty per cent lies above
timber line; thirty per cent above an
altitude where only scrub timber can
grow, so that only thirty per cent is
suitable fer timber raising and re-
forestration, which should be the
principal business of the forestry
bureau, instead of handicapIipg the
mining and agricultural industries of
our state.

LETTER FROM LOVER THERE"

Mrs. F. w. Rertagnolli is in re-
CERT of a very interesting letter
from ed. Bertagnclli, Somewhere
in France" Feeling that his many
frierds would he glad to hear from
him, she has allowed the Observer
to publish part of it:
We have at last reached France
and l must say that / am not disap.
pointed with it. We were on the
water twelve days and had unusual.
ly nice weather, except one morning
when breakfast and soldiers were un
able to stay in their proper places,
the latter rolling around the ship
like SO many balls. Our quarters
were in the bow of the ship, below
the main deck, supposed to be the
worst rart of tie ship for sea-sick-
ness but Strange to relate" as the
novelists say, ! did not feel that
way at all. and was, Of course, very
much surprised.
l was on deck watch six hours a
day, looking out over the ocean, for
anything disagreeable, but nary a
submarine did we sight, only a few
sharks and several schools of por.
poises. / used to think / had an
idea Of the size of-the world, but /
knew now that l didn't use my i'm
agination nearly enough. In fact, I've
had lots of my old ideas overthrown
ard have new set, chief of which
is this: l believe ! have some sort
of conception of what old Christie
rher Columbus was up against. 1t
seems like a nightmare now, or per-
haps, I'd better ssy, dream, for it
wasn't disagreeable, only very
strange and mighty interesting. All
in all, 1t was n uch easier than l
had ANTICIPATED. You would be sur
rrised at all the precautions that are
taken for the safety of the ships,
but. Of course, II at subject is taboo.
You never, not even in Sunny Col
orado, saw anything so pretty as this
country. Every SPOT has some veg
citation, and / have often wished you
could be here to indulge your pas
sion for flowers. They are every
where. The trees are in bloom, and
the green is a delight to the eye,
entirely different from any shade
we have at home. The houses are
all as you see them in the pictures,
built Of heavy masonry, with thatch-
ed roofs everywhere.
/ happened to see piece on the
work Of the American Red Cross,

CHANGES IN'TELEPHoNE RATES

Denver, June %. The order of
the Public Utilities Commission plac
ing the rates of the Mountain States
T. & T. company upon an equitable
basis in Colorado has resulted in a
newspaper campaign Of attack upon
the Commission in Denver. Cne Of
the princiI al effects of the order
was to establish such rates that here
after Denver will pay its just pro-
rortion Of the telephone rates. From
various angles certain Denver news
rarers are not only attacking the
new rates established for Denver,
but also endeavoring to support their
arguments by making 1t appear that
there has been a general increase
in telephone rates tfruout the state.
They refuse to publish anything with
reference to adjustments of rates
which las fer its purpose the elm
ination Of the system Of telephone
rates whereby Denver paid low rates
at the EXPENSE of the rest Of the
state. The same critics make no
adverse comment on the big increas-
es in railroad freie hit, passenger and
express rates ordered by the federal
government, and do not mention the
many increases in utility rates being
allowed by public service commiss-
ions in all other states on account
CT tremendous costs due to war con-
ditions.
The Denver camI aien of attack in
attempting to make 1t appear that
there has been increases tfruout the
state is not consistent with the fact
that in a number of cities and towns
rates have been reduced to bring
about the Proper adjustn ent for the
state as whole. In the following
