The president asked that the secre tary explain to the members the ob ject of the call meeting. The secre tary stated that U waa upon the ad Mr., of Governor Haskell and Attor ney General West, that the associa tion be called together to take a concerted action to defeat the rail roads In obtaining a perpetual in junction against the various coun ties from enforcing the collection of tase now die by them, and as tt was upon the request of the state of-' flclate Motion was mad and tjc onded that an Invitation or that some one be appointed to have the At torney General and the Governor to meet with us.

He says, they are not. and with the as sistance of the people he will be able to prove hts assertions. He says. President Ripley 0f the Santa Pe. testified on the stand that their mats Mne road In the stato of Kansas was worth (60.000 per mile.

Tho Stato and National Govern ments Bupply fish eggs and fry, propa gate and protect wild game and Inform tho public what It Is doing through the prescribed channels of periodical offi cial reports. So tho three work to gether for the common good. The writer recently camo across a little booklet, Just tho size of nn or dinary letter envelope, and bearing oa the front cover the title: "FUhin. Hunting aad Camping tn the Colorado Kockles." It was not with any lan guid feeling that I started reading the subject matter between the covers, but I confess at the beginning I bad Just a trace ot prejudice, feeling that I was going to read an out and out advertise ment. I was refreshingly disap pointed. While the bock was Issued by the Colorado Midland Railway, I did not find a single one of those fa miliar references to the fact, alleged or otherwise, that this road was "the best kserr etc . etc On the contrary. Divide weft of Lcadvllle, and fished tho entire length of the famed "Frying Pan" river, about thirty miles in all. This stream runs down a narrow val ley and bet wet n lofty peaks. Tho trout here are "dead game,'' In tho vernaculur of the fisherman, and ono weighing two pounds will give tho an gler a tussle that ts pret'y apt to causo him i to exaggerate in telling about it. if he isn't real caroful. It requires from ten minutes to half an hour to land him, dependent upon the angler's knowledge of tho trout's fighting pro pensities and tho distance from tho rod where the fish takes tho fly. We found splendid rustic hotel and camp ing facilities nil along the Frying I'nn River; also available furnished cabins. From Thomnsvlllo wo Journeyed on horseback to Wood's Lake, a distance of Feven miles from tho track. Hero P. J. Knglebrecht runs a rustic hotol and rents furnished cabins and cot tages for housekeeping. Wo put In a week there, leaving our heavy baggago tn care of the agent at Thomasvlllc. Tho sport there was fine, though wo organized a Fishermen's Ananias club, with several prominent persons ns charter members but it would bo tell ing tales out ot school to go into de tails.

It gave a brief resume of the fish and game laws of Colorado, desig nating open sea-sons for all sports; It gave the names of hotels, rates, board ing houses, ranch houses, and even the names of persons to whom one might apply for outfits, tents, camp ing utensils and the like. I took this little booklet as my guiding star and went into the Rockies. I whipped the churling wa ters of the South Platte River in South Park, and. for an amateur, succeeded fairly well In luring on an average of eight to ten pounds a day of rainbow and eastern trout from their watery abodes. They ranged in weight from three-quarters of a pound to four pound, and in some Instances larger but those weighing one. two and three pounds were more plentiful and, it seemed, a little easier to hook. I vis ited Twin Lakes, seven miles from the station of Granite on an automo bile trail. The larger of the lakes Is reor than a mile wide, and very deep At depths varying from twenty-five to seventy feet we caught Mackinaw trout ranging from ten to twenty pounds, the largest one weighing 21 and which, handsomely mounted, may be seen in a railroad ticket office on Seventeenth street In Denver. Our party crossed the Continental homa, a corporation, acting by and through its agent. V. A. Nlblack. have entered Into this contract whereby the said township board hereby agrees to sell said bonds to said Bond & Trust Company at a premium of Two (t " cent of its face value (102 per cent) totaling Ten Thousand, Two Hundred ($10. 200.00) Dollars for said Issue, and the said Oklahoma Bond & Tni'Jt ' Company agrees to accept said Is sue and to pay therefor One Hun dred and Two (102) per cent ot the face value of said bond. In all the I sum of Ten Thousand, Two Hun dred $10,200.00) IXillnrs. i The Oklahoma Bond & Trust Com- pany agrees to furnish nt Its own , expense all papers necessary to be used by the township board In pro paring for the bond issuo aforesaid, I and also agrees to furnish at Its own expense a blnnlj form ot bond, but the township board agrees to pay the expense of printing said bond. It Is further agreed that tho town ship board will furnish to tho Ok lahoma Bond & Trust Company nt the oxpenr-o of tho township board certified copies of all tho papers used In connection with tho bond Issue In any manner whatsoever. which shall show propor authority for the Issuance or tim ttomis. ni i regularity In the proceedings, which shall bo delivered to tho said Bond & Trust Company prior to tho prep aration of the copy of tho bond. Upon said bonds being duly nnd lawfully executed, audited and reg istered tho said township board will t'raw upon tho Oklahoma Bond nnJ ou'fltted for a trip to tho deer coun'ry. s-omo forty miles nor'h otthat point This was tho last week In Oc tober. Of the seven in our party, five returned with a trophy In the form of a deer. Wo rode the range with cow bos in the great annual cattle "round up" which was being held in that vast country; wo breakfasted, dined and aujii-(i im ilium wut-revi-i iiiej pitched camp, relishing our meals out of tin plates, squatted cross-legged on the ground around the camp-fires. To know and appreciate what real West ern hospitality means, one must spend a little time on the range with the Colorado cowboy. One unfortunate In cident alone marred the trip, but this was quickly righted when explanations were offered. One ot our party, with the best of Intentions, offered the round-up foreman money In compensa tion for our accommodations. The of fer was taken as an insult, which was promptly resented. An apology was mad and accepted, nnd the man who proffered the gold learned something about the real cowboy which will stand him in good stead in future. Colorado is all that is claimed for her b her most enthusiastic admirers, but the stnfp was wrongly named It should have been christened Paradise.
