COLORADO LAW TO CONTROL MIGRATORY HERDS
given considerable discussion.

President Lucas stated that he had
taken the matter up with Mr.. Parvin,
state game and fish commissioner, and
also with Mr.. Gregg. He stated that
such license had been issued, cover
ing Mr.. Gregg's holdings, and it was
the intention to keep the public out Of
Sweetwater lake.
Vice President Blair stated that there
is about one-half mile Of government
land bordering on the lake, that Mr..
Gregg's land came to the waters edge
only, but in order to get to this gov
ernment land it was necessary to cross
Mr.. Gregg's land, and this made a
trespass He also reported that Secre-

Rifle, February -, 1924.

Mr.. A. ]. Dickson, Editor,
The Glenwood Post,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Dickson.-Inasmuch a.
some local stockmen have been indict-
ed by federal grand jury for pre-
venting the passage of band Of sheep
over the bridge at New Castle, per-
haps yourself and readers would be in
terested in knowing little more Of
the law providing for the licensing OF
migratory livestock which was passed
at the last session of the legislature.
This art Gle is not written in de-
fense of those who are suffering under
the Indictment for 1 am not at all
familiar with the facts leading up to
their accusation, but rather that those
interested might be better informed
as to the prov sions of the law.
In the first place the law does not
applJ to sheep alone, but to other
k nos of livestock as well and was
passed in order that the people living
in Colorado and making this their
home might have some measure of pro-
election from those stockmen from other
states who in time gone by have
brought their herds into Colorado at
will, to the detriment at times Of citi-
zens of this state and who are entitled
to protection from such encroachment.
People living in Colorado and paying
taxes here certainly are entitled to
preference right on the public domain
as the value of the land depends large
ly upon the grazing privileges which
the land owner enjoys. Take away
that right and in remote sections you
a have decreased the valuat on until the
land is practically worthless For this
reason not only are the stockmen In
terested but it gives every taxpayer IN
the state someth ng to think about.
much of the land on the Western Slope
is so isolated that to prove profitable
livestock of some kind must be han
died and whether the owner prefers
sheep or cattle the time is at hand
/. .when he must look to either the feder-
al government or the state to see that
he enjoys the privileges which are
"rightfully his through having acquired
property adjacent to land which 10 tit
: for grazing purposes only. If the
federal government regulates the graz
ing ON such land which they now do
on the forest reserves all trouble 10
eliminated and each person is permit
ted to Craze such livestock to which
he is Justly entitled. Outside the for
est reserves, and the greater part OF
tho public lands in Colorado lie out
side the reserves, the government has
not ~ yet seen fit to regulate tho
grazing Of livestock, hence this trouble.
As time goes on this grazing land
becomes more and more valuable and
from adjacent states stockmen look
with longing eyes at Colorado and her
graz ing privileges and not only do they
look but as long as there were no re-
strictions placed upon the grazing Of
livestock. they simply drove their
stock into this ftate and helped them.
selves. This was not right, and should
not be, for II Colorado stockmen need
and use the range In the state then
they should have il and outsider
Should be excluded.
This was the purpose Of the bill
which was passed and which Is now q
law.

High School Boys and Girls
Stage Ideal Entertainment
Was Well Patronized
CLEAN -. AMUSING

The largest audience, we believe,
one roof in Glenwood Springs attend
ed the big indoor circus at the Junior
High aud torium last Friday night,
the condition of the weather not per-
hitting an outdoor performance.
Those who had not already bought
their tickets were inf uenced to do so
after witnessing the giant street pa
radc in the afternoon and led by the
famous John p Snooza himself Short
concerts were g ven on each street cor
ner which were burlesqued by the
clown band. The Indian ma dens gave
u war dance and the St;ltz family
brought up the rear. On account of
the ferocity of the animals, most of
which had been imported from New
Castle, Redstone or other far distant
regions, they were kept Gagged during
the street performance for the protec-
t on of the public.
The Introductory spiel of the eve-
ming performance by Ringmasters An
drew Dickson and John Richardson
kept the audience in a roar Of laughter
although they were cautioned to main
tain a boisterous silence to prevent the
animals from becoming frightened.
The beautiful ballads, including
"Leaky Overshoes" by Iva Cold,
"Mother Left Father Because Father
Ate Crackers in Bed" were rendered
by the famous band under the vigor-
Gus leadership of Fred Benedeck. A
remarkable thing about the band was
that they were all dressed in uniform,
all being different except the leader
which was alike.
Isadorc, the dancing Irish elephant
the great katootinary, the cook, dane
ing Polarine bear, eight-legged hootus
and the famous Spark Plug each gave
wonderful act, all Of which were in
troduced in short history Of the ami.
mails by the ringmasters.
Mile. Delight. certainly delighted
her audience in her daring slack wire
performance, and Prof. Deceit, the
famous magician and hypnotist, kept
the undivided attention Of the onlook-
crs by his magic powers. The oriental
dancers, composed Of bevy Of brown
eyed beauties who had been ship
wrecked and appeared in the sailors
uniforms gave pretty dance
The famous Mayo surgeons, by their
skill, saved the life of the Siberian
ostrich, and also saved some valuable
jewelry owned by the spectators.
The entertainment was 20 good that
most Of those present remained for
the concert following and the whisthns
solo, Hawaiian dance and other mum.

BOND INTEREST
RATE RAISED

In order to make possible the pur-
chase of larger number of small
school district bond issues as we'll
as increase revenues for the state
school fund, the board of university
and school lands has increased the
rate of interest on school bends
from 4 to S percent The new rate
is effective February 1, but does not
affect bonds which have been pur-
chased but for which funds will be
advapced as they are received in the
next several months.
1t was explained by board membe rs
that bonds are purchased in the or
der of filing of applications by school
districts. Many large bond issues
have been included in the recent APP
plications, which would be sold on
the open market at to ; 1-2 per
cent interest, and many small school
districts have been unable to sell
their bonds. Under the new propo-
sal the board expects to purchase
more bonds of country school dist
riots. The change in the rate is de-
pendent on an opinion of the At
torney General holding it is legal.
The vote of the board was unapi-
nous, it was said, the beard including
both members of the Independent end

FOLEY'S VISIT
TO DENVER is
GIVEN PRAISE.

James w. Foley, North Dakota's poet
laureate. won many friends on I, re-
cent speaking trip into Colorado, ac-
cording to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company's magazine. Mr.. Foley
who is now associate editor of the
Pasadena Evening Post, lectured in
Denver and other places. The mag
azine says:
''For long time many of our peo-
pie eagerly looked forward to Mr..
Foley's second visit among us. SO
many of our folks wanted him to
visit their respective communities
that when he actually did return in
October it required three weeks for
him to fill the engagements. He ad-
dressed more than thirty meetings
during that time. including the
grade and high schools, Lions and
Rotary clubs, community meetings,
the hospital, and other groups.
Wherever he went he left behind him
trail Of good cheer, friendlincss,
kindly feeling, little better under
standing of what is really most
worth while in life for each of us,
and little stronger determination to
be true to those ideals that are fin
est and best. For example, a steel
worker said to Mr.. Foley at the close
of a meeting where 1900 persons
heard him: "Mr. Foley, talks such as
that give us something to live on"
"The people themselves raised and
paid the amount necessary to cover
the very modest daily charge which
he makes for his services, and they
had a good time doing it. Literally
thousands of our folk-both little and
big-heard him and enjoyed him.
Many have already said that they are
confidently expecting him to return
for another similar visit within not
more than two years. 1t had been
two years since he last visited our
people, spending two weeks with us
at that time.
