MORE RESERVES
President Roosevelt creates
3,022,720 acres in
Colorado.
By the action of the president in with
drawing an immense territory for forest
reserves before signing the agricultural
appropriation bill, nearly one-fourth of
Colorado now lies in reserves. He add
ed 8,022,720 acres to the area of 12,6110,
825 acres, making a total of 15, 721,545.
The land added in Colorado is:
Park r{inge, 438,000’acres; Holy Cross
71,680 acres; Uncoinpahgre, 164,480
acres; San Juan,760,000 acres; Montezu
ma, 1,040,000 acres; Medicine 80w,355,
000 acres;and Las Animas, 192,000 acres.
Forester Pincliot made an important
annoucement yesterday to the effect
that in the new reserves and additions
there will be no interference with graz
ing industry this year.
No grazing fee will be charged on
these lands this year, and all stockmen
who have used this range will continue
to do so without any iuterferance from
the forest reserve. He (loos not say
what will happen in this regard next
year; therefore it may be expected that
the grazing tax will ho imposed on
stockmen using these lands at a later
period.
To Have More Room.
The powers that bo are considering
making numerous changes in the loca
tion of the county officials quarters,says
the Courier. The county clerk has long
been handicapped for want of vault and
office room, and the plan is to extend the
vault and give him the use of the room
at present occupied by the county com
missioners.
The commissioners will then occupy
the present office of the county superin
tendant, and the latter official will move
to the district judge's chambers on the
second tloor. No definate provision has
yet been made for the judge, but the
manipulation of offices does uert, contem
plate leaving anyone out of the building,
so none of the officials are yet alarmed.
Not Used to a Horse.
Dr. James Ballard, who was called to
the country a night or two ago, on pro
fessional business, made the return trip
on horseback. Now, the county coro
ner is a good rider when it comes to au
tomobiles and bicycles, but his knowl
edge of horses is limited to glances down
the race track at county fairs and si mi
lar occasions, and when he reached the
city he did not know which side of the
horse contained the ladder down which
the rider climbdd. He asked and re
ceived a laugh. He finally dismounted
after making two attempts to alight on
both sides at once, and his trip home
was painful to behold, saying nothing
of his own feelings in the matter. —Lar

Market Letter.
Denver Union Stock Yards, March 4
Trade was fairly active here last week
but the inferior quality of many of the
offerings in the beef division was cause
of more or less dullness. Good beef cat

THE NEW ERA
In God We Trust; All Others Cash, or Good Security.
tie were in strong demand and closed
very nearly steady but medium and half
fat kinds are off ten to twenty cents as
there was rather too many of these of
fered for the good of the trade.
Feeders and stockers were active and
firm with demand better than supply.
Corn fed steel's sold to packers at $4.85
to $5.25 and fair to good pulp and bay
feds brought $4.25 to $4,574. No choice
hay fed steers offered. Choice cows
brought $3.75 but not many above $3.00
and fair to good killers went largely at
$3.25 to $3.50.
Veals in good supply and very fair de
mand, tops bringing $6 50 same as pre
ceding week.
Best heavy steers brought $4.65 flat
and fair to good went- largely at sl.lO
to $4.50, several lots bringing the latter
price. Good selected feeders have best
call as usual but there was a noticeable
improvement in demand for the medium
grades and even the plain steers are
moving moro readily.
Market today was active nud strong
to 10 cents higher on strictly choice of
ferings. Other grades about steady and
some salesmen thought weaker.
Thoroughbred Chickens.
Last Friday evening Chas. Emigh re
ceived a number of thoroughberd Rhode
Island Red chickens,from Denver, and
is going to start into the poultry busi
ness.
Mr. Emigh not only purchased them
for his own use, but for the purpose of
suplying Walden and community with
young chickens and plenty of goop eggs.
Young chickens average from 40 to
50 cents a peice and eggs from 25 to 50
cents per dozen, so we feel safe in say
tlmt Mr. Emigh has a good start toward
success in the poultry business.
Want Faster Time.
The stockmen of Nebraska, Wyoming
and Colorado will meet in Cheyenne,
today, with representatives of theUniou
Pacific railroad to agree upon a new
speed schedule for the stock trains, un
der which new schedule the speed of
stock trains is to be greatly increased in
consideration of the stockmen paying
moro transportation charges. Heavy
losses often ocur # because of the delay of
stock in transit, and the stockmen have
expressed a willingness to pay increased
rates if the railroads will make better
speed. Hundreds of stockmen will be
at the meeting.
Parts Delayed.
A letter received last week by Dr.
Henry Fischer from Messrs. Randall
and True, states that owing to a delay
of some of the essential parts of the
creamery, they will he unable to bo in
hero until April 15th, but expect to be
ready for operation by May Ist.
It is unfortunate that the creamery
should not be in oi>eration sooner, as
several parties who expected to milk
cows, say their cows are coming in now
and they cannot bother with them for a
month or so, waiting for the creamery
to start.
Birthday Party.
