some private land, but not much data
has been received on it yet. The other
two fires are thought to have been
caused BY careless smokers. Fortu-
nately the area over which each Of
these fires burned did not exceed one
fourth Of an acre.
Yesterdays Denver Times records
eight nav blazes in California. These,
together with the big fire in the Sierra
National forest, have burned over ap-
proximately 10000 acres Of timber.
It il only the eternal vigilance Of
our locsl forest officials, together with
the kiad cooperation Of those who
have reported and assisted in putting
ont thess fires, that has prevented
wholesale destruction Of valuable tim
Der and the denudation Of great water
sheds in this section Of Colorado. The
present rainy spell is welcomed by the
forest service men as natures physi-
clan that will help to fight the present
epidemic and to lessen the fire hazard.

PRow1;ERs VISIT
DR.. sCHAnTT's oFFICE

Meddlers who visited Dr.. Frank W.
schmitt's office Thursday night were
il-paid for their pains, but they left
numerous traces of the nocturnal call.
Returning to work Friday morning
DR.. Schmitt found his office door
standing ajar, and little investigation
revealed the methods used to gain ad-
mittance. The doorstep had been re-
moved and the lock pried open and
the door and casing were considerably
hacked and splintered. Other signs Of
disturbance were the disordered state
of the drawer Of Dr.. Schmitt's desk,
the rump1ed condition of the bedding
on the office lounge, and a regular
trail of ashes strewn about the floor
of the suite Of rooms.
"Those fellows got badly fooled if
they expected to find any money in
my office" said DR.. schmitt. "They
found no money, and SO far as can
determine, they carried away nothing
else of any value" .

vIENIsON PROVES 4
UNPOPULAR MEAT


Arraigned in county court Monday
morning, Richard Knapp, who lives
north of Silt, pleaded guilty to the
charge Of killing deer out of season
and was fined $3.50 and costs by Coun-
ty Judge Bell. Knapp's accompliees,
his brother, John and Fred Stevens.
are being held in the county jail for
$500 bonds apiece, pending their. ap-
pearance before the court ON septem-
Der IL at which time o. G. Peterson,
deputy game warden, will make an at
tempt to have them convicted because
of their implication in the killing.
The deer, small buck, was discov-
cred in the possession Of the men Sun
day by Mr.. Peterson, and had been
killed day or two before in the Mud
Springs region of the White river
country. The warden arrested the men.
who were taken to Rifle by rancher
in his automobile, while Peterson fol-
lowed on horseback. When Peterson
arrived at Rifle he learned that his
men had escaped, but later ascertained
that they had come to Glenwood and
given themselves up to Undersheriff
Rater at two o'clock Monday morning,
Similar charges were brought to bear
against Frank Zertucke and Justo Exo-
bar Tuesday,. the result being that af-
ter they pleaded guilty to having "por-
tions Of the carcass of deern in their
possession, g. P. Rice, justice of the
peace, fined each Of them 800 and
costs and sentenced them to spend thir-
ty days in the county Jail.
Arrest of the law violators was made
by o. @. Peterson, Colorado game war
den, with headquarters at Cedaredpe.
On his way to Meeker to attend to
some business last Tuesday Mr.. Peter
son met Exobar and Zertucke poans
south on horseback from Rio Blanco.
Noting bulky bundle on the back Of
one Of the horses, Peterson investioat-
ed and thus discovered the quarry, \
small fawn, in the possession of the
wen, who, despite their explanations
that they had thought they were shoot
ing at lamb, were brought before
the bar Of justice.
on a separate count, Exobar pleaded
guilty and was fined $a5 and costs and
given thirty days in Jail, additional to
the original thirty days, the charge
being preferred against him on the
score of his being an unnaturalixed
foreign born resident in possession of
firearms, which is forbidden by Colo
rado laws. The automatic pistol, which
he carried, was confiscated and turned
over to the state.

LADY RIDERS IN
QUEER ACCIDENT

Miss Janet Wood, of Columbus, Ohio,
and Miss Alaine Meyer, Of Denver, are
thanking their lucky stars that the in
juries they received were not more
serious than resulted Tuesday night
when the horses on which they were
riding slipped and fell on the cement
crossing at the corner of Grand avenue
and Eighth street, having tried to mako
the turn too quickly. Miss Woods
left ankle was badly sprained, but Miss
Meyer escaped with numerous bruises,
especially about the arms and face.
Witnesses to the accident say that
the horses fell almost simultaneously.
Miss Wood, who was little in ad-
vance of Miss Meyer, hung in the stir
rup for a moment or two and was un-
conscious for a short time. Men near
by carried the young ladies up to DR..
G. A. Hopkins office where medical
attention was soon administered. Both
young ladies' are improving as wei as
coud be expected. An X-ray picture
of Miss Wood 3 ankle taken this morn
ing revealed that no bone. are broken.
Miss Wood and her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kenneth Wood, are staying at
the Dow home in North Glenwood this
summer and Miss Meyer is a guest at

those who took this course received
second grade certificates.
The business department of the Gar
field County High school equips grad
yates to fill responsible places in bust
ness. Those who complete eight units
of commercial subjects in the four
years are given commercial diplomas.
The school will not only recommend
such graduates, but will do everything
in its power to place these graduates in
good positions.
The shops and domestic science de-
partments are modern Here boys may
have woodwork, drafting, and auto
mechanics. In the shops the boy works
from pattern or drawing at the turn
ing lathe or saw bench. The expert
ence with machinery is valuable to any
boy. In the domestic science depart
ment dressmaking, millinery, and cook
ing are thoroughly taught. Applied
design is studied in connection with
household decoration.
The courses which prepare for col
1egs ~ thorough and the corps of
teachers are well chosen for their par
ticular work.
Whether the youth is preparing for
a life vocation or upon college at the
close of his high school, he will find
that the Garfield County High school
can arrange satisfactory course.
This is the thing that is making it
imperative that every boy and girl
take advantage of the high school op-
portunities offered. The high school
that is large enough to offer such a
number Of courses with a strong facul-
ty is sure to become a sort of compile
tion school as we'll as a preparatory
school.

Every boy and girl should today
plan on finishing a high school course.
1t may be that many cannot go to col
lege, but there is no excuse for anyone
stopping short of high school educa-
tion.
In Garfield county there are six high
schools. While not all are accredited
all are doing advanced work that will
tend. Some are offering variety
of courses to meet the needs Of the
varied vocations that are later to be
followed.
In Garfield County High school five
courses are offered. College prepara-
tory, scientific, business, vocational,
and normal. This school is open to
any students from any section of the
county without tuition. The school is
located at Glenwood Springs and is
well equipped with shops, domestic sci
ence, gymnasium, business department,
and laboratories. Students who have
finished high school in other towns are
enrolling in the Garfield County Aigh
school for one year of work. Those
who do this in most cases plan to COM
plete some course that prepares them
for the special school or the special type
of work in which they expect to engage.
The county high school offers
strong normal training course. This is
attractive to those high school gradu-
ates who do not have the means to at
tend normal school for two years
before going out to teach. The state
law provides that those who complete
two units of credit may be candidates
Tor certificates for teaching. 1t is also
possible for seniors to arrange their
courses so that they can complete high
school and have at graduation the two
units Of normal training. This course
requires one-half unit of psychology,
one-half unit Of class room methods
and management, one unit of review Of
common school branches.

REGULAR EPIDEMIC
OF FOREST fires

A shortage Of water and a dry sum-
mer season have combined to weaken
natures defense against the srapacious
forest fire, with the result that seven
fires have been reported to the head
quarters Of the White River aud the
Holy Cross National forests withh the
past two weeks.
Five acre of timber and underbrush
on Hideaway, Mrs. Blanche Browns
ranch on Noname creek, were burned
over Friday. An improvised force of
men, including some members Of the
city fire department, under the lead
ership of Deputy Supervisor g. N.
Hunter and Undersheriff Luther Rater,
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
after a battle of several hours. It is
thought this fire was caused by care.

over which the flames could not easily
leap, intervened between the conflaQra.
tion and Mrs. Browns home, the dan.
ger of burning tree falling across
the chasm and setting fire to the tim.
Der near the house caused real concern
for time.
Because he wanted "light at night
to see the sheep and to keep Wild ami
mails away Emetrio Valdez, sheep
herder for Elmer Stevenson, started
blaze in the forest up Bear river about
fifteen miles west of Yampa, but the

vented much destruction. Escorted to
town, more particularly to the room Of
the county court by Sheriff Winters
Tuesday, Valdez pleaded guilty and was
fined $75 and costs by Judge Bell.
Similar preventive measures were
taken against the fire hazard yester.
day when Forest Ranger Rich Thomson

number of "coyote fires' in the coun.
try contiguous to Monument lake. Tho

Fairgrounds and recreation under
the supervision of men and women of
clean habits is the prospect before
the people of Champaign on June 2.
There is absolutely no reason why
this project should not go over by a
big majority. The tax per capita is
only SIC; per tax payer it is only 74c.
This means that it will cost the people
of Champaign less than the price of
a moving picture show for one night;
and this cost is to be paid only once
a year.
Actually doesn't it sound ridiculous
for a sensible voter to object to BIC
a year for a wholesome, clean and
thoroughly supervised play plan?
And yet there are few of Cham
paign's citizens who object to tax OF
this proportion.

Are better traffic ordinances needed
in the Twin Cities? This is a question
that is concerning the minds Of the
city council.
One councilman believes that the
ordinance under contemplation should
not be too drastic. This is the belief
of The Review. We are over-run with
laws that are not enforceable because
they are impractical. Motor laws are
examples. When a motorist is for

he will be a law violator more fire.
quently than otherwise. Twenty miles
an hour on a paved highway is slow
travelling.
Turning a corner at four miles an
hour is scarcely possible, unless a
motor vehicle is brought to a stop and
moves in low speed Obviously there
is no excuse for such a law, and if
passed by the city council it will GER
tainly not be enforced. 1t is even
difficult to drive a horse at four miles
an hour.

grounds, parks and vacant lots that
are open will be utilized. One mill OF
the dollar will not purchase parks; but
it will provide equipment for parks
and Fairgrounds already available
That is exactly what is needed.
Cities that have recently voted OF
the question of supervised play have
considered the question from one
angle of a public utility. Those who
have done so have recorded a splendid
majority vote in favor of the plan
Public utilities are needed. We coulC
not do without our water system; oul
electric light system; our street paw
ing, our railroads and street cars
These are all modern utilities.
But children play as they played
fifty years ago, without modern equip.
ment, without proper leadership and
with no advantage whatever that car
be called modern. 1t is the purpose
of this tax to put the children on the
same scale as the rest of us live in
this day of advancement.
No issue should prevent its adop-
ton by an overwhelming vote. II
takes only a few minutes to record a
ballot And it is up to Labor to
knock OFF, just long enough to cast
favorable vote on the question.
People who have every play advantage
for their children will not take the
pains to go to the polls.
If Laboring men are careless of this
opportunity they may rest assured
that no one else will safeguard the
interest of their children.
