Entered as second-class matter March
9, 1900, at the post office at Walden, Col
orado, under Act of Congress of March
3, 1879.
One of the brightest, newsist dalies
that comes to this office is the Loveland
Register. The editorials aro always
worth reading, and the news is given in
a condensed readible manner.
A more efficient or conscientious man
for mayor than A. E. Butler it would be
hard to find. He has in the past, and
will in the future, receive the support of
the council, and citizens, whohaveevery
jaith in his integrity and and ability.
The New Era was a year old last week
This country is roomy and we expect to
grow some in the years to come, how
ever, we feel that the paj>er is a pretty
healthy yearling and justifies our pre
sumption that there was room hero for
a live newsjMiper.
The hog wash dished up in the Denver
Post by a woman named Winifred
Black is about the limit. Of course, we
don’t have to read it, but sometimes by
mistake a few lines are scanned and we
have a pain for an hour. Why a paper
that only pretends to ha sensible can
staud for such rot is beyond our ken.
Such stuff is calculated to make one con
denm the whole staff as either old men
in their dotage or driveling idiots.
We note the Wyoming Observer, of
Saratoga, is edited by a ranchman, by
name I. M. Conness, a man of small
stature,still narrower mind and large am
bitions. Mr. Conness is a man troubled
with chronic liver complaint,in fact he’s
“agin” the government, the sort of a
man whose self importance will not al
low him to admit of any reason or intel
ligence in another man’s argument. We
would suggest as a remedy a liberal ap
plication of Ivory soap.
There are two policies open to the
cattlemen of North Park on the forest
reserve question, one of non-resistence—
letting well enough alone, and even giv
ing in here and there for the sake of
peace: and the other an aggressive one
insisting that the forast officials shall
carry on their duties as servants of the
public and not dictators. The trouble
with working for the government is
that the employee, unless he is ex
ceptionally well balanced will be attack
ed with a case of the swell head, become
haughty and condecending in his man
ner, and in other ways give evidence of
the fact that he is one of the main stays
of Uncle Sam, sort of a God-given gift
to the people, and if you do business
with him it must be as he says or not at
all. They are not all this way ofcourse,
but more frequently than not it is the
case. However,in the grazing question.

the few large stockowners are opposed to
an aggressive campaign. Whenever a
stockman with capital behind him wish
es something he goes to headquarters
and intimates in a quiet manner what
he wishes. He usually gets it. The
small stockman, when he tries the same
method, also gets it—but in the neck.
It is only by open and aggressive action
that the small stockman secures conces
sions and favors, and this of course ex
plains why the powers behind the throne
so earnestly advocate a cautious policy
and fervently sty “let us have peace’’.
Dance at Baldwin’s.
A very pleasant little dance was giv
en last Friday night at the home of M.
Baldwin near Rand, where about seven
ty-five were present to join in dancing
to the melodious strains of the waltz.
An excellent basket supper was pre
pared by the ladies present, while we
understand that Mr. Maine, of Walden,
was highly complemented on his excel
lent imstry work, which was a groat
treat to all, who partook of the feast.
Those who attended the dance from
Walden were, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Post,
Mr. and Mrs.D. K. Smith, and Miss Ma
rie Callicotte, while we were unable to
secure the names of all present.
Nevertheless they all report a good
time and are willing to go again.
Early Morning Fire.
Careless handling of gasoline iu the
kitchen of the Johnson hotel cafe and
one of the cooks striking a match and
firing the fluid was responsible for about
SSO worth of damage iu the rear of that
room at 4:30 this morning. For a time
the fire looked somewhat squally, but
the fire department was quickly on the
scene and the lire was confined to the
rear wall of the room, where several
panes of glass were broken, the sash
burned and other damage done.
The building is owned by J. F. John
son and the loss is fully covered by in
surance. Mrs. Ehmke runs the cafe.
The hotel was full of guests at the
time of the fire, and were all awakened
but none of them wore injured and there
was no excitement to amount to any
thing.—Laramie Republic.
Birthday Party.
Surprise parties as a rule are a misno
mer, the oue who is supposed to be sui
prised usually knowing as much as the
ones getting it up, but the surprise party
given by Mrs. Meda Williams and Prof.
Preston Tuesday evening in honor of
the nineteenth birthday of Miss Mam
mie Riggen, was certainly a success in
every way. Miss Riggen having retired
before the guests arrived.
The guests, to the number of about
thirty, gathered at the homo of Rev.
and Mrs Trowbridge, and about 8:45
started for the Riggen residence.
A member of the party was stationed at
the large dinner bell in the yard, and at
a signal all hands turned loose. The
first impression Miss Riggen had. was
that the house was on fire, and started
down stairs in haste, but returned to
her room in greater haste,when she
heard talking and laughter in the par
lor.
The guests were divided aud charades
were the order of the evening. One
very pleasant feature was several in
strumental solos by Mrs. Morris Fliniau
whose efforts are always appreciated by
lovers of good music.
Ico cream and cake wore served the
guests at eleveu o’clock and the party
broke up at midnight, after a most en
joyable time. Miss Riggen received
many handsome tokens of remembrance
from her friends.
