> A. W. Sterzbach to be
in Charge of the
Creamery.
Building Being Put in Shape
and Machinery on the
Way in.
A. W. Sterzbach, of Algona, 111., who
will have charge of the creamery now
being installed in Walden by the North
Park Creamery Co., arrived in the city
last Friday, from Boulder, where his
wife and daughter are located at pres
I ent.
Mr. Sterzbach Ims been arranging
business matters and getting the cream
ery building ready for occupancy. The
building, known as the Towner proper
ty, where the creamery will he estab
lished, is being cased up and ceiled.
The freight teams, which left Saturday
for the machinery, reached Laramie
Tuesday ami are loading the material as
rapidly as possible.
The front room of the building will
contain the churn, cream vats, and
other necessary appurtenances, and the
rear will be for the boiler, engine, re
frigerator, etc. As the building is quite
large there will be plenty of room for
the machinery for some time to come.
The churn is a Victor, with a capacity
of 800 pouuds of butter to the churning.
I With this churn the cream is churned
“ aud the butter washed and worked he
fore being removed from the receptacle,
and with a minimum of labor.
There are two cream vats of a capaci
ty of 250 gallons to the vat. A large
refrigerator is among the freight ship
ment, which also includes a ten h. p.
boiler and engine. Everything will he
modern and of the best quality.
Mr. Sterzbach has been in the cream
ery aud cheese business for the past
thirty-one years and is a thoroughly cap
able man for the position. He is much
interested in the work here and consid
ers the conditions and climate excellent
for the dairy business.
It is Mr. Storzhach’s wish that the
ranchmen make it a point to come in as
soon as the creamery is in operation,
when lie will explain the entire process
of butter making from start to finish
Issued Injunction.
The case of W. G. Mel leu vs. Hanson
& Rich, in which the plaintiff asked for
an injunction to prevent the obstruct
ion of a ravine through which he water
ed his laud, and $1,500 damages, was
tried before Judge Gamble in the dis
trict court at Fort Collins Friday and
Saturday.
It seems that Mr. Mellon is half owner
in a ditch in which Hanson and Rich
m aud Jap Monroe own the other half.
The ditch makes a curve around a hill
side from which there is a draw leading
to Mr. Mellons land, and his share of the
water carried by the ditch was taken to
his ranch through the draw. Mr. Mel
len alleged that Hanson and Rich had
constructed dauis across this ravine, di
verting and interfering with the water
intended for his land.
The verdict handed down by the
judge allowed Mr. Mellon no damages,
hut carried an order that the obstruct
ions in the draw should.be removed,
aud unjoining tho defendants from again
obstructing tho water.

MARKET LETTER
Denver Union Stock Yards, April 8—
Eastern markets reported very light re
ceipts of cattle last week hut even tho’
t he run was small there was no improve
ment in prices, which indicates that
heavy marketing would have heeu dis
astrous to the trade. Locally with the
supply rather above normal there was
a strong inquiry and prices closeds to 15
cents higher all around. Avorage qual
ity of tho cattle offered was good, and
buyers took them readily and would
have bought more. Steers sold more
readily than proceeding week, best bring
ing $4.80 to $-1.85 aud pretty good killers
at $-1.35 to $4.75. Cow stuff was active
with fancy killers at $3.85 to $4,00 aud
bulk of fair to good grades at $3.35 to
$3.80. Medium cows sold at $2.00 $3.30
and common down to $2.00. Bulls were
steady at $2 00 to $3.25 for hulk. Calves
were higher tons today at $7.00 hulk at
$5.00 to $0.75. Feeder ond stocker off
erings limited and hardly enough here
to test the mnrket. Demand was strong
aud buyers could have used more. Most
of the fair to good steers here sold at
.$3.85 to $4.00, nothing very choice offer
ed. Liberal shipments of good feeders
and stockers wanted. Market is 10 to
15 cents higher a week ago. Receipts to
day were light, market active aud firm
here though lower east.
One tor the Creamery.
Five years ago in a little town ovej in
the San Luis valley the merchants paid
the ranchmen’s wives twenty and twen
ty live cents a pound in trado for the
butter t hey had to sell and resold it to
customers at tho same price for cash.
Now the milk all goes to the local
creamery which sells the butter to the
merchants at thirty-three cents iu cash
and they retail it at thirty-five cents and
are making more money than under the
old system because they never have any
spoiled butter to cause loss. The ranch
men and their wives are making twice
the money they did under the old sys
torn and with vastly less work. The
creamery has built up a big demaud for
its product at fancy pricesaudtho dairy
men are increasing their herds. The in
stitution pays out thousands of dollars
in cash every mouth for milk aud it*
patrons ask no credit for groceries at
the local stores.—Field and Farm.
On Handling Children.
Children should be handled a* little as
possible. When they get bigger they
won’t stand for it. preferring to handle
themselves, writes Ellis O. Jones in the
April Bohomiau.
The handling of children has now
been reduced to a science, of which
there are throe distinct branches, viz;
fondling, joggling and chuckling.
To handle children properly, first fon
dle. To fondle, encircle the child twice
with both arms aud press tightly against
the breast or some other part of the ana
tomy. Continue until the child shows
signs of suffocation. Then joggle.
To joggle, face the child, leering,press
tho thumbs firmly into thechilds trunk
midway between the pit of the stomach
and the short ribs, with the fingers deep
ly imbedded in the small of the back.
Then shake the child vigorously up and
down and sidewise, until the child froths
at the mouth. Then chuck.
To chuck, extend the fingers of the
right hand and strick the child sharply
iu tho face, preferably undor tho chin.
This may be done with perfect safety to
very young children, as they can neither
strick kick nor, having no teeth, bite
the tongue. Continue until the child
temporizes and grows rod in the face.
Then fondle as above and re|H»at ail li
bitum. This rule is for your own child
ren or vice versa. For the children of
others or vice versa add 50 j»er cent.
WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, APRIL 11. 1907.
DOES THEM
AN INJUSTICE
Atty. Knaeble on the
Forest Reserve
Trouble.
Misrepresents Attitude of the
Stockmen Throughout
the State.
In the issue of April 4, of tho Denver
Republican, Assistant Atty. Gen. Knaeb
el gives out an interview which is in
tended as a warning to stockowners in
Colorado. Most of the statemeuts Re
makes are not only unjust, hut are a mis
representation of the facts.
In the first place the stockmen are not
lighting the reserves, aud with but few
exceptions are in favor of them, but
they do object to the arbitrary rulings of
the department, aud the interpretation
of these rulings by the high minded
gentlemen who are placed in charge out
here.
Atty. Knaebel says, among a lot of
other things, “Those protesting stock
men are, iu my opinion, selfish and do
not care for the good of the govern
ment.’' Further on he states, “From per
sonal knowledge I know that the major
ity of bigger stockmen in the state re
cognize this fact and uphold the presi
dents hand.” In other words the larger
stockmen, the ones the president is so
anxious to protect, and who are in need
of all the assistance they can secure, are
satisfied with the way things are con
ducted, while the protesting stockmen,
who according to Att’y Knaeble, are sel
fish, who are the owners of small bunch
es of cattle; who have homesteads and
cultivated land where they reside; who
build up aud civilize the couutry, are
kicking because they can’t “destroy the
timber” and because they are* expected
to pay toll to meu in the forest service.
In the Norrell case Knaeble willfully
misrepresents the facts. In the first
place the goverment was compelled to
dismiss the case against Norrell becuuse
they knew they had the losing side.
Knaebel says with reference to Norrel
“Before the trial came up however the
reserve agents allowed,,him to take out
a permit on the condition that he pay
double the usual fee, and led him to be
leive that his case had thus been com
promised.’’ Att’y Knaebel was present
when this agreement was made with
Norrell by the reserve agents aud tacit
ly consented to it, so that any effort on
his part to throw the blame for subso
quent events upon the rangers is rather
small business.
If the government is inclined to ileal
justly with all. why were not the people
who grazed their cattle on the Medicine
Bow reserve last summer, without a per
mit, trespassing according to Knaeble.
arrested?
Again Kuaehle tries to create this
impression that nearly all the stockmen
in the Park desired Norroll’s arrest aud
conviction. To put it in a charitable
manner Mr. Knaeble is mistaken. The
North Park stockgrowors who reside in
Denver, etc., undoubtedly would he
pleased to see the arrest and conviction
of many North Park residents who in
terfere with open range but it is hardly
fair to quote these omiuoutly wealthy
gentlemen as authority for North Park.
The facts are the North Park stock
owners condemn tho action taken by
both Hogan and Knaeble, the later gon
tleinan’s statement to the contrary not
withstanding.
They are not fighting the government
but they certainly intend to fight for
their homes and proj»orty, aud will not

a “holier than thou” crown and who
