SUCCESSFUL RANCHING

Feeding a bunch of so cattle at TO-

came out looking fine, and he has hav

Of the park.
Mr. Bright has been ranchiny for
some years now, and is thoroly fami-

whole park Is capable of being made
INTO successful ranch land, in spite of
all the forestry fol-de-rol which de
clares a man cannot make living at
that altitude. His hay crop is ap-
preaching 3-i of ton to the acre.

froze out, but not since, indeed. there
Is no reason to believe it should freeze
under the blanket of snow which

BEGGAR VANGUARDS
ARRIVING TO TAKE
YEARLY LEVY FROM CITY

Salida MALL
The oeggar is at large again. Just
where all the men and women come
from who arrive one at time with
lists and cards, begging from the
people of Salida, is a mystery. Their
methods suggest organization and a
well conceived plan of coming one at
4 time.
A few days ago a beggar changed
ms collections into currency. He had
more than $50 for half-day's haul.
Six beggars a week six months in a
year represent more money than
would be necessary to support all the
poor of Chaffee county at the Brown
Palace hotel.
We have our own poor in Salida and
Chaffee county, some of them too
proud to beg. Some of the profess
sionai beggars who visit Salida are
unworthy. 1t is big waste of money
70 lavish it on strangers.
Cannot a movement be begun in
Saiida to have all visiting beggars
report to 4 city official or the rep
resentative of public spirited body
to have their credentials surveyed !!
Any beggar who does not carry pro-
per credentials should be ordered out
of town.
Begging is profession with many
who are at it and they are not even
willing to work at what they can do.
Begging is all they know and the gen.
erous giving of money to strangers
is not charity, it is a hold-up.
If beggar can go into a new
town each day and take out more
money than is earned by five work
men, it is the equivalent of cutting
the pay roll by that sum. These beg
gars always have list which they
show to their prospective victim. The
amount shown on it indicates that
previous donors were generous to a
fault, which causes imitation. But if
anyone should sign his name to a
dime contribution, the professional
steps into convenient hallway and
raises the amount for the edifcation
of the next easy mark.
If every organization depends on
the others to give consideration to
this question, nothing will be accom-
plished, but if every public welfare
organization takes the initiative, the
remedy will soon be applied.
