port, he went to work with his usual
cheerfulness and energy to regain his
lost financial prestige. ..-..,.
Believing that the church and its up
lifting influence constituted real
asset to any community, Mr.. Hurlburt
did much by way of encouraging and
stimulating the spiritual growth of his
community, and it was almost wholly
through his efforts that the Grand
Valley Christian church was organized
several years ago, and he was always
loyal to its teachings He also took a
very lively interest in politics, and was
classed as an ardent Republican parti-
san. One Of his proudest boasts was
that his first vote was cast for Abra-
ham Lincoln. s4f
In the Hurlburt family there were
l2 children: Mrs. Frances E. Trimmer,
wenatchee, Washington; Luther L.

noon, the service being conducted by
Rev. A. N. Martin, pastor Of the
Christian church at Rifle. The church
was packed to overflowing with neigh

Around the open grave, with bowed

JOHN B. HURLBuRT
PASSES TO REWARD

In the death of ]. B. Hurlburt, which
occurred last Saturday at his home in
Grand Valley, Garfield county sustain
ed loss of one of its foremost citi-
zens, a pioneer and builder and man
who has ever been an important factor
in and a blessing to the community jim
which he lived. Kindly, neighborly,
sympathetic and helpful, always ready
to assist those in trouble or distress,
he will be sadly missed by the COM
munity in which for SO many years he
went about doing good.
John B. Hurlburt was born October
4, 1889, in Scott county, Iowa, and
died at his home in Grand Valley, Colo,
April IA, 1928, at the age Of s3 years,
months and 10 days.
In 1854 he travelled the "Old Immi-
grant Trail" to California, driving an
OK team. AT the age of sixteen he was
engaged in mining for gold in Placer
county, California, the center Of the
mining excitement of that day.
In 1870 Mr.. Hurlburt was married
to Miss Martha A. Rock of Shasta
City California. He followed mining,
farming and stock raising in California
until he came to Colorado in 1882. He
drove flock of sheep from California
to Colorado, passing, in his search for
n new location, through parts of Ne
vada, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, and
when he reached u point on the Grand
river at the head of Parachute creek,
he considered that good enough, and
there he decided to make a permanent
location, and later he became an i'm
portant factor in the sparsely settled
region which he ever since was proud
to call his home. He reached Meeker
just short time after the Meeker
massacre, and became well acquainted
with "Old Colorow,' the chief of the
White River Ute Indians. He saw
Parachute creek for the first time 40
years ago last October.
Mr.. Hurlburt was an optimist by
nature, and no matter how dark the
clouds, somewhere hf could glimpse
silver lining. When in the range
war in the early nineties his flocks Of
sheep in the darkness Of the night
were driven over the precipice Of the
Book cliffs to destruction, and thus all
his earthly possessions were swept

Through some influence that is not
fully understood in this section, the
advisory board of the State Highway
commission sometime ago designated a
state highway across a sparsely settled

project and passed very strong resolu-

proposed road.
At their April meeting the county
commissioners of Garfield county con

wide by 140 miles long. 1t represents
a strip 81, miles wide across the con-
tinent or over " mile wide around the
earth at the equator. Stating it an
other way, it means that a township
6 miles square is burned over on an
average of every "a hours of the year
or more than 1000 acres or an area
four times the size of Glenwood is
burned every hour during the year.
The annual destruction by fire in
board feet is estimated to be 1,-O80,-
100000 or the equivalent of 100000
houses containing 10000 feet each. In
addition to this there is very heavy
loss on account Of the destruction of
young growth. Furthermore, every
burned area constitutes a fire trar
greatly increasing the fire hazard Of
the adjoining timber.
From record in total of 1915
fires, the average damage to the tim
ber burned was 5000 per acre, thu.
indicating that the loss of timber de
stroyed by fire in the United State.
annually amounts to $s1,0OO,O9O.

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK

President Harding has issued proc
lamation designating April 22-2s as
Forest Protection Week. This period
set aside by the president calling spe-
cial attention to the Importance of fire
prevention, comes on the eve of another
summer season during the period of
the year when special precautions are
necessary to prevent destruction of our
forested areas.
Few people realize the immense
amount of damage done annually by
forest fires, about rs per cent of which
are started by human agencies. In the
United States there is burned over An.
nually an average Of 100000 acres.
Few people have much conception Of
how much territory 100000 acres
really covers, and in order to enable
one to form some conception Of the
area the following comparisons are
offered:
1t represents ten forests the die of
the White national forest. It covers
an area the size Of Garfield, Rio
Blanco, Moffat, Bout, Eagle and Jack
SON counties. It represents q strip 80
miles wide across the state north and
