Ambassador Jusserand May
Complete Tentative Deal
Before Going Home
~ ROBERT s. THORNBURGH,
international News Service.


international News Service.
With negotiations for settle
ment Of the French debt of over
$4,000,0O0,0OO already under way,
high Treasury officials anticipated
today that some funding proposals
may shortly be received from
Italy and Belgium. 1.-TWO other prin-
cipal debtors.
If France finds way to, fund
her debt it was assumed that Bel
GUM, intimately allied with
France both politically and eco
nomically, will follow suit. Bel
GUM owes this Government about
. half a billion dollars.
i Italy In Good Shape.
Italy, it was pointed out, is in an
excellent economic condition. With
her private industries improving,
the government has been able to
balance its budget and place OF.
ficiaI finances on sound basis.
It was thought likely that the
Italian government would desire to
further establish her credit In the
financial world by a funding
arrangement.
The italian debt totals aDproxi-
nnately $2,100, 10000
Within a short time Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon viii hold q
second conference with Ambassador
Jules Jusserand, Of France. More
definite views Of the French gov
ornmeEt are expected to he furn.
inhed Mellon at this conference,
Another meeting Of the debt COM
miSsion may then be necessary,
according to Mellon.
Expect Action Soon
Officials Of the debt commission
regard II as likely that the basis for
Q tentative plan OF settlement Of
the French debt will be drafted
netore Ambassador Jusserand sails
Tor Paris January s.
Jusserand has been authorized TO
negotiate q preliminary agreement
with the United States, according
20 the debt commission. The am
hassador pointed out 10 Mellon that
he desired to take hack to his gov
ernment at least the basis for a
funding agreement.
Secretary Mellon does not an.
ticlpate that any definite agreement
viii be reached before Jusserand
leaves this country, although he
hopes for a working foundation of
m agreement. Mellon pointed out
that Jusserand desires to inform
his government as to the main
points Of a plan agreeable TO the
United States.
since France has taken the initia-
tive in the Negotiations it was as
sumed at the Treasury that she sees
way in which funding treaty may
be carried out. 1t was suggested that
negotiations might be taken out OF
diplomatic channels, in which they
now run, and be discussed on a bust
ness basis.
Secretary Mellon was quoted as
saying that the agreement must be
reached with France without refer
ence to the German reparations SituA-
ton. The obligation, it was pointed
out, was predicated on no outside
factors.
The commission has discussed the
possible reaction in Great Britain
should France be granted more favor
able terms, as to interest and time
payment than were accorded the
British. 1t was the opinion that
France will get no material advan-
tage over any other debtor.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM AN "OLD TIMER
Paonia. Colo. July 80. 1872

Paonia, Colo, July 80, 1924.
Dear Mr.. Lake.
Am sending you a few items that
hope will be in time for this week.
We have had some good showers
since last Saturday night, but up 70
date it is very sultry and warm.
The Chautau1ua closed Saturday
night. There was good attendance
all through the week and good num-
bers on the program. As the people
We're coming out Of the tent Saturday
evening, south of the town and high
up on the hill flaming cross was in
evidence and was watched by a large
crowd on the avenue. To add to the
spookiness of the scene, the fire
whistle shrieked three times. The FIRE
signal ! presume was to alarm the
country.
Monday forenoon an alarm spread
over the valley that the eldest daught-
er of George G. Foote, prominent
ranchman on Pitkin Mesa, had disap-
peared some time during the night.
A crowd of men and boys searched
the hills and the Fire Mountain canal
but with no results. The water in the
canal was turned off that evening and
some time Tuesday forenoon the girls
body was found near Hotchkiss. The
inquest was to be held today. 1t is
supposed to be case Of suicide. At
this time no cause for the act can be
learned. She was a refined young
lady of 25 years and her death is a
sad loss to her family as well as the
valley at large.
Sunday Gene Rosetti and wife of
Crested Butte with large party of
friends, (three auto loads) from that
town and Gunnison, called at the Tays
ranch on Pitkin Mesa They had a
feed Of apricots and took some back
with them; had some music. then re-
turned to the Snow Shoe Cabin on the
Anthracite where they were billed to
play in the afternoon. They played
Saturday night for a dance at the

Forty Thousand Idle
Clerks in Washington
EAT Up FEES AND so DEPART
MEM MUST RAISE GRAZING
TAxES. SAYS TAYLOR

GienxOod Avalanche
That there are fully fifty thousand
idle cierss al Washington who must
be paid. was the assertion Of Congress
man ID Taylor OF Glenwood Springs
recently in a talk 10 cattle and sheep
men, who sxere called in 20 reyiex the
proposed schedules Of the forestry Of
'icers here on the local forests The
neeting brought out general protest
again; ! raise in grazing fees.
Thai the stOckrnen send a commit
tee 10 Washington was the advice OF
the cougressuan. He believed a per
sonal sstiing forth Of the facts might
be effective IN preventing the putting
into effect Of tn. proposed raise He
stated that many congressman con-
slider the proposed increases an inius-
tice.
The Increase OF fees will no; 20 into
effect before 1926, the raise coming AZ
the rate uf % cents per year in 1926
and thereafter. However. the raise
will not be enforced even then unless
i the livestock situation is betiered TO
an extent 10 be able 10 stand the raise.
assert Secretary Wallace of the In
terror Department
Z That the congressman Of the central
/ state are back Of the move for in
crease rates Is the assertion of Con-
gresham Taylor. These claim that
their constituents are forced TO own
or hire pasture at high prices and that
the low rate in force in forests are dis
{ crimilatOry as seen against pasture
costs Of the east.
On the other hand, western stock
men are compelled TO hire riders, oper-
ate ruund-ups, provide ard convey
salt, stand poison and predatory ari-
nal losses, poor range, etc running up
their range costs very greatly. and
also the extra freight charges 10 the
marketing centcrs is a very great one.
The schedule Of rates is not 10 b.
uniform, but will be determined by the
accessibility OF the range, the avail
ability Of water, the quality of the
forage, the amount of poison weeds,
etc. The average for sheep in the
high country now is So cents per
head The schedule OF increase will
bring IL up to from 1914 to 22is cents
per head. For cattle the season run
ming 5 = months. the rate is now 55
cents, and the fee under the new sche-
dule may run rs high as SI.50 for the
best range.
The local forestry officers have been
working under orders upon a schedule
for some time. II was to lay this be-
fore the stockmen that they were call
ed In. While they are opposed to any
raise in the fees, they signified their
belief that the relative values placed
upon the various ranges was a fair
one, in so far as the local forestry peo-
pie are concerned.
With the proposed increased fees in
effect, L. g. Brown of Grand Junction,
talking from the point of the sheep
men said: 1T will mean the forcing of
the sheepmen Of this section out of
BUSINESS" For the cat;lemen, George
Kelley and Joe Banta made equally
strong assertions. Supervisor Blair
of the Holy Cross, however. pointed
out that while the eventual increase as
proposed would in some cases ap-
proach 200 per cent, this would mean
less than 25 cents per head on sheep
and less than dollar per head on cat
tie
