DEEP SNOW IN MOUNTAINS

Rangers in the Sopris forest report.
ed April s25,, 40 inches in depth of
snow Just 4 short distance above Mar
bic. This is much in excess of the
snow at that point at the same date
last wear.
At Red Cliff the first of this week
there was new fall of snow to a
depth of ten inches. At Pando on Nav
last year there was no snow at all.
while this time the guage shows a
depth OF four feet. Supervisor French
informed the reporter this week that
the present snow covering in the Holy
Cross forest is greatly in excess of
that at tbs time last year.
This augurs well for the ranchmen
who are interested in the supply Of
irrigation water for the. coming season,
even though the deep SHOWS have play
ed sad havoc with the. stockmen who
had not made preparation for so long
a feeding period as the past winter has
brought them.

FOR SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

Mrs. Nellie D. Brown, county sup
erintendent of schools, visited the
schools of Mesa county last Thursday,
to investigate the merits and demerits
of the much discussed question of the
consolidation of rural with city schools
in order to guarantee better school
privileges to country children, and at
the same time effect financial saw
ing to the territory that is served.
The following Garfield county citi-
zens accompanied Mrs. Brown on this
tour of inspection and investigation;
r. P. Coulter and Il. r Grace, repre-
senting the board of county commits
sioners, Mrs. Sheriff., Mrs. Ozburn Of

Reports coming to the Post are to

on YOU MIDLAND

- What will be the final outcome as
to the Colorado Midland road appears
to be almost as much of conundrum.
Tt is quite certain that there is some
thing in the air, but just what that
something is no one seems to know,
and we have made the wrong guess so
often that we are not keen to try it
again. OF course we have all been
kidding ourselves with the idea that
operations are to resume, and that a
railroad that has lain idle for few
years is to take on it's former activi-
ties and prove blessing to the com
munites through which it runs. tt
The present work of clearing the
roadbed from Colorado City to New
Castle would seem to indicate one of
three things: either that the line is
to he operated by its present owners
leased to some other road that VIII
operate it, or else-iunked. You pay
your money and take your choice. buf
we will he wiser very soon.

the blockade on that line yesterday

grazing rates is beginning to reach the
office of the secretary. Some fifteen
local associations have declared them
selves as strongly opposed to the pro-
posed increase and have set forth in
resolutions their reasons, why such a
burden upon stockmen of the state
should not be countenanced at this |
time Commercial grazing rates, it is
pointed out, should not be taken as
criterion for the more or less precari

ranges by the cattlemen.

its protest in the following letter:

Colorado Stockgrowers Association.
Denver, Colo.
Gentlemen: Our attention has been
called several times to a bill in con
gress whereas the intention is to raise
the grazing fees for cattle on forest
reserve.
Different localities have different
conditions. so 7 can only speak for tn"
jurisdiction which we are in. The
grazing season here is very short and
the price of feed is high. The cattle
men of this section are figuring 50
close that the smallest losses are COM
polling them to go ont of business.
Good conservative stockmen are either
quitting or selling out whenever the
opportunity presents itself, and great
many have lost heavily IF congress
sees fit to pass laws which will burden
the stockcrowers any more than what
they already have to contend with,
T will venture to say there will be
great reduction in this section of the
country in the production 81 meat. In
great many places our ranges have
been terribly overstocked in order to
supply the demand for beef and We
consider that we are paving great
plenty for our short season and scanty
range.
