makes president of the United States,

lar? 1t is not the mere performance
of his official duties in an honest and
efficient manner. That is not enough.
1t is largely matter of personality.
1t is the same with public officials as
it is with private individuals. A man
may pay his debts and be honest, and
be a hard working and fairly good
citizen, and yet have very few friends.
Generally speaking, an officials
popularity, and the number of private
individual friends, depends largely
upon the quantity of the milk of hu-
man kindness that flows in his veins.
That explains the wonderful personal

The pocket gopher is the size of rat,

These pockets are lined with fur. His

SURVEYOR GENE RAJ
VISITS GLENWOOD

William Ii. Clark, former resident
of Meeker and for many years county
surveyor of Rio Blanco county, now
U. S. surveyor general of Colorado,
came over from Denver last Tuesday
and spent a couple of days calling on
old friends, while attending to some
official business in the U. S. land
office.
Mr.. Clark is very much interested
in the development of the oil shale re-
sources of Western Colorado, and in
having the survey completed so that
men who are interested in the oil shale
industry may file on and develop lands
with some assurance of protection, and
be relieved of the uncertainty which
now prevails in this country.
To this end Mr.. Clark is urging that
the government should al once put
four additional surveying parties in
the field in order that townships 3 and
6 south, 81 west and townships 5, 6
anu South, IuHECo 90 anu NNot,
listed as groups 161 and 1862, may be
surveyed as quickly as possible, in
order that the work Of OIL shale devel-
opment may be delayed as little as
possible.
Senator Phipps is taking very ac-
tive interest in this matter and is now
in Washington in the interest of the
undertaking and, since he secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for these oil
and shale correction surveys, he in
sists, with Mr. Clark, that the amount
OF this money apportoned, to Colorado,
which is now available, be used for
the purpose for which it was appro-
priated, and that the work be done at
once, so that the people may have op-
poftunity to develop these lands.
1t will mean much to this country
by way Of further development Of the
oil shale lands in the DeBeque and
Grand Valley sections.

The matter of utilizing the right of

at public meeting called ~ Mayor
Mcdonald at the council chambers
Tuesday evening, the sentiment of the
meeting being that immediate steps
should be taken to put the road in

the matter can be attended to by the
State Highway commission which has
used all available state appropriations
on other projects.
G. NJ, Keck explained the gift of
Mr.. Carlton of the right of way,

to the state, as there was assurance
from the Highway commission that the
subscribers would be reimbursed out
of the 1924 and 1925 state appropria-
tions.
Mayor Mcdonald, who presided at
the meeting, told of phone conversa-
ton he had with Mr.. Weiser of Grand
Junction, member of the State High
way commission, in which the latter
said that he and Mr.. Lansing of Colo
RADIO Springs, another member of the
comm :ssion, had decided that if the
people were willing to raise the neces-
sary amount of money to prepare the
road for use, the state would pay back
the money out of the 1924 and 1925
levies and would look after any neces-
sary construction and upkeep in the
future. 1t is said that other members
of the commission are strong for this
highway.

anteed $4,000 of the required amount,

RICHARDSON CAPTURES BARNES

John G. Richardson federal prohibi-
tion officer, last week captured in
Aspen John Barnes, who for some
time has been wanted in this county
on a charge of moonshining in the
Grand Valley country some months
ago in connection with Bill Whitehead
who was fined 5000 and costs for his
share in the illegal transaction.
At the time of Whitehead IS arrest,
Barnes made his getaway, and it was
only recently that the officers located
him. In default of bond he is in the
county Jail awaiting his trial, which
has been set for September Z.
The Glenwood post., 1923-08-16

A war of determination has been
declared against the pocket gopher,
and the farmers of all the Middle
Western states are asked to enlist in
it. The pocket gopher is multiplying
rapidly all through the alfalfa belt.
He is already costing the farmers
that territory millions of dollars
year, and this loss is increasing as his
numbers grow.
Before farmers settled the prairies,
the gopher lived on the native grasses
and legumes of the plains, but when
red and sweet clover and other legume
crops came in, he found that kind of
diet more to his liking; he thrived on
it and began to multiply. But when
alfalfa spread over the plains states,
the gopher found it an ideal food, and
now. when an alfalfa field appears in
in his neighborhood, he abandons his
home in the uncultivated land and
moves in.
He likes potatoes and all root crops
even better than he does alfalfa. In
tls potato country along the kaw
river in Kansas and in the irrigated
districts of Colorado and Western Ne
braska he devours vast quantities of
them. He is fond of soy beans and
cowpeas, too, and he likes the roots
of apple and other fruit trees. At the
Kansas State Agricultural college are
stumps of apple trees with roots one
inch thick that have been gnawed
through by pocket gophers. Prof.
Frederick L. Hisaw, mammalogist at
the Kansas experiment station, has Wis.,
tied orchards in which all the trees
under five years old have been killed
by gophers, and the farmers did not
know what was killing their trees.
Many orchards have been abandoned
and the trees pulled out because they
died from some blight that was mys-
terry to their owners, but which, it is
now believed, was due to pocket
gophers cutting the roots.
Professor Hisaw took a gopher cen
sus in Kansas last year. He did that
by going into alfalfa fields in many
different parts of the state and catch
ing and counting all the gophers on
one acre. He found the average to be
tight gophers to the acre. There were
1000. 900 acres of alfalfa in Kansas
last year, and this gave a gopher popu-
latfon of 100000 in alfalfa fields
alone. No attempt was made to esti-
mate the other millions that lived out
side of alfalfa fields. He estimated
they caused yearly loss of $4,00o,o0o
on alfalfa alone in Kansas.
If you take Omaha as center and
draw rough circle around it to in
clude all of Iowa, Nebraska and Kan
sas, part of Northern Texas and Okla
homa, the northern half Of Missouri,
the northwest corner Of Illinois and
part of Southern Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and South Dakota, there you will
have the habitat Of the pocket gopher.
Colorado and California have q smaller
