STOCK GROWERS WANT
20 PER CENT RETURN
Believe Fifth of Grazing Fees Should
" Be Devoted to Fighting Poison Weed
: The following resolution is thag
adopted by the Gunnison County Stock
Growers’ Association, at the mid
| winter meeting on December 29. It
ets forth in detail the reasons why
. the stockmen ask the federal govern
ment to set aside 20 per cent of the
fees extracted from the ranchmen for
grazing, to be used in prevention of
the loss by poisonous plants on the
| national forests. Their argument is
a very good one, and if, as is hoped,
| similar organizations thru the west
will take the same action, and the
| movement receive backing by the state
and national organizations of stoek
growers 1t may pass COngress.
_ Twenty-five per cent of the revenue
o1 the forests now goes back into the
counties for road and schoo! purposes,
| and under ordinary conditions the
forest service might be expected to
kick vigorously against letting loose
more money; but, if away can be de
vised to have this expended thru the
interior or agricultural department,
very likely the officials in charge can
' be made to see Its justice.

by the Gunnizon County Stock Grow=-
ers’ Association, in session at its mid
winter meeting in Gunnison, Colorado,
i this 20th day of December, 1917, that
we ask the Congress of the United
Staes to grant to cach National For

ing fees paid in by permittees using
the same, and the moneys thus ob

posed Act of Congress, be made cum- |

| pended for the purposes of eradication |
of all poisonous plants or otherwise
| protecting stock from them, and for!

DOWN THE LIE
! T |
{ Down the German lie every time. |
i It is popping its head up daily, first|
| with one mask and then with nnothr-r.T
Just now, when Congress is investi- |
'gating conditions in the army, navy
land food administration, the German |
| lie may take a particularly vicious and !
‘Sublll' form. Exaggeration of a little |
{truth is one of its favorite disguises.
| Men have died of pneumonia in the
| army camps, it is true. but the per- |
| centage of men who have thus passed |
{away in service is low. Thousands of |
men died during the Spanich-Ameri
can war because of unhealfhy condi
| tions in contrast with the few who |
{ have died during this war to date. |
Yet the German liar, by exaggeration, |
has been trying to terrorize every |
| father, mother, wife, sister and man |
{in the land., |
| Congress is simply trying to make |
| good conditions better and has to date |
ima«l" no discovery justifying wide
| spread alarm or pessimism. Members
|of the Colorado Council of Defense
i who have recently returned from thvl
‘East. say that it is the concensus of
iopinion of New York’s leading citizons‘
that the government has done remar- |
kably well with the many difficult |
problems it has to handle. And it has! i
Faults exposed by Congress should
not be stretched by the imagination
into calamities. Let the Germans de
| lude themselves alone.

December 4th.
L!D \r folks:-
Kl Well, lam this much closer to the
"l gooi old U. 8. A. anyway, and if we
!,fi good luck, we should get to Nor
|fo Virginia by Christmas or New
"1 Yea We do not know when we will
’.!1( ere for the States.
F ave just completed the most
o rful trip of my life. If you can
ha patience to follow me I will give
*| yo. an idea of where I have been the
't la :x months.
'} On April 20th, I was transfered
ey Goat Island to Frisco to the
‘1 Crusier “Maryland” (now the Fred
"ter x). and the following morming we
le’: Frisco and anchored in San Diego
| hator the day after.
) \We had shore liberty every day, but
'ibe’ v we left, we got a wireless that
| th S. S. Brutus was on the rocks
lat (.rros Island, which is about 300
‘lm south of San Diego. We went
" to rescue and after five days of
'lha work we got the collier afloat
'lan. towed her back to San Diego.
2« next stop after leaving San
D again was San Jose, Guatamau
la. V.o anchored there for four days
| w the admiral went to Guatamula
‘!cz' n official business.
' t, we arrived in Balboa, Canal
7 imd went in dry dock, and after
fltl vnting, and scraping had been
o« ted, we left Balboa and went
,lt} ¢ Panama Canal. Now, right
h« ne of the most interesting
|th [ saw on my cruise. When one
| s or himself the work that has
| b omplished by the men and ma
1} t makes him wonder if there
|is thing that is impossible to mas
-1 te I vork of opening the Culebra
‘f(‘: Ist have been an awfully diffi
lcu k, but today our biggest battle
|sh n pass in safety. Then there
is k of Gatun—the building of
ith to form the artificial lake of
IGa ind the spillway.
i« cannot describe the wonder
ifu of the whole canal and one
{ea appreciate it by making the
itr ind it is certainly worth going
im to see. So much for the canal.
A wing Colon, on the Atlantic
i Bi¢ f Panama, we steamed south and
Lo 10th we crossed the equator,
{ar ir days later, we anchored in
ith bor of Bahia, Brazil. We didn't
| §to mg here, for we left the next
‘m ng bound for Rio Janerio and
{ar: vod in Rio Janerio three days later.
:\\ ot shore leave as soon as we an
ichored, and 1 might say right here,
'tl’ I never expeet to see a city equal
tzfinio Janerio in beauty. It is a mod
i city in almost every respect, and
beécause of the tropical surroundings
it is the most beautiful city in the
whole world. We spent Fourth of July
in Rio and had a parade ashore of
French, British, Brazilian, and Ameri
can sailors. Our next port was Mont
evedio, Uruguay.. The people of
Montevedio certainly treated us roy
ally, and it is a pretty city.
Our next trip was up the Platte riv
for to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and as
this is the largest city in South Ameri
ca, most of us had a most enjoyable
time. Caruso was in Buenos Aires at
this time and I went and heard him in
opera. He is certainly all that people
| say he is and then some.
| .After ten days of mighty fine time
in B. A., we left and went to sea. Our
official visits were complete and we
had to take our turn at running down
; German raiders, so we were out at sea
| fourteen days and came into Rio
again. After shore leave every other
day for fourteen days, we hauled up
| anchor and put to sea for another
| patrol cruise and after seventeen days
| we came into Bahia, and left Bahia for
| anothzrwmis% :dfber twon;oeks in that
| part. een up in Rio again and
l laid in harbor for quite a while. Next
{ we left for Montevedio and stayed in
!thete for a month. Then we came
! back to Rio again.
| _After a few days here, we started
|out of the harbor on our homeward
| bound trip, but the pilot run the shit
across a rock and we had to turn bac|
and sent divers down to see how badly
we were damaged. They decided we
‘?klmakeitbuktotheStfiesO.K.
we once more headed out of the
harbor for Norfolk, via Panama, and
' here I am back thru the canal again.
We are going to dry dock and then to
| Hampton Roads.
| Well boys, don’t you wish you had
ibeen with me on that 25,000 mile
cruise? I must close for now. I re
ceived mail to-day. The Avant So
ciety sent me a box of candy and I en

HELPED FIGHT GREAT
FIRE AT NORFOLK, VA.
Dear Folks:
Your letter of the 30th came yester
day and after an exciting New Year’s
day I will tell you some of the things
that happened.
1 went ashore at twelve o’clock and
as soon as 1 got to Norfolk, 1 found
the whole front of the town burning,
fire broke out in several places at 4:00
P. M. The Montecello Hotel, the fin
est hotel here and several large of
fice buildings are all in ruins. The
fire is believed to be the work of the
Germans for fires are reported in
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York.
All of us naval training boys in
town were called on to help; we saved
most of the valuable stuff and all the
stock in the two jewelry stores. Af
ter that we were busy with the fire
hoses. I worked for about five hours .
and was soot and dirt all over. About
six o'clock we had the fire under con
trol. One sailor and one fireman were
hurt and one fireman killed.
A Mr. Baldwin, of the Baldwin
Real Estate Co., took four of us boys
to supper at his house; we got all
cleaned up and dried out; he was also
kind enough to slip us a few dollars.
If it hadn’t been for the sailors, I be
lieve the whole town would have
burned.
They have made a good many ar
rests and caught two men setting fire
in other large buildings.
Martial law is now established. All
civilians have to have a pass to go
anywhere and all men in uniform are
questioned. I will try and send some
papers to you so you can read all
about it. !
We are having the coldest weather
here that they have had in fifteen
years. The bay is frozen over and lots
of ships are frozen in the ice. The
ferrys between Norfolk and Ports
mouth had to quit running on account
of the ice, but they are going now.
I am going ashore again to-night
to get an express package. \
I hear the bugle blowing mess call
so I will quit and go eat chow.
Well, can’t think of much to write
this evening for I didn't go ashore as
I planned for it is snowing and blow
ing something fierce out side, so I
guess my hammock will feel pretty
good to me to-night.
With lots of love,
MARSHALL DAVIS.

WANTED FITTING REWARD
Paonian:—
It’s hard to get ahead of the Paonia
boys. We don’t vouch for this story,
but it is said that one of them who is
in France was one of a small party of
men who, while off duty from the
trenches for a short time, were guests
at a small reception. The charming
hostess in her daintiest English asked
the first: “And did you kill ze boche ?”
“I did,” he answered proudly. “How
you kill heem?” “With this good
right hand,” he said. Impulsively she
grasped his hand and pressed it to her
lips. She then came to the sojerboy
from Paonia.“ You kill ze boche too?”
“Yes, I bit him to death.” ?
