NOW READY TO
MAKE BUTTER
Creamery at Walden
Complete and Re
ceiving Cream
Last of Machinery putin placti
Wednesday and every-,
in shape
The North Park Creamery is now com
plete and ready to do business with all
ranchmen, the first batch of cream be
ing received yesterday morning from
the Dr. Henry Fischer ranch, E. A. John
son, who has charge of the ranch, bring
ing the cream to town. During tho day
other ranchmen delivered creatn, and
the first churning will probably be done
tomorrow.
Owing to a delay in machinery it was
not known the exact date the creamery
would be ready to receive creatn so no
time was 6et, consequently delivery was
slow until ranchmen could be notified.
It will take some little time to got
everything systematized and running
smoothly but the number of cows milk
ed will increase right along, and the
North Park Creamery will be turning
out a good quanity of butter in a very
short time.
The building is practically finished on
the interior and is as neat and handy as
can be The vats, churn and all other
machinery are in position and the
plumbing work completed. The smoke
stack for the boiler was put on yester
day morning.
The Laramie Creamery Co., which
was organized to put in a creamery at.
Laramie and take over the Walden
creamery, to be run in conjunction with
the Tjaramie concern, are going ahead
with the work, purchasing machinery
and getting a building in readiness for
the plant. It is rumored that Mr, Sterz
bach, who is now in charge of the Wal
den creamery, will be taken to Laramie
to look after the plant there, and an as
sistant placed in charge here. If this is
the case it is very much to be regretted,
as it would be difficult to secure a man
who so thoroughly understands the
creamery business, or one who would be
more likely to make a success of the
enterprise, as Mr, Sterzbach.

trios under the coal land laws must ap
pear in person at the local land office and
take the oaths before the register or re
ceiver. Under the new regulations de
claratory statements are not assignable.
This requirineut will prevent the hir
ing of Tom, Dick or Harry to make a
coal declaratory statement in the inter
eats of a corporation. Of course either
Tom, Dick or Harry may make entry of
coal laud and thereafter transfer it to
an}' person, corporation or syndicate. It
is provided that lands known to contain
workable veins of coal may bo sold by
registers and receivers at prices stated
in schedules and maps to be furnished
them, but it is not probable the mini
mum price will be less than ten dollars
per acre, nor the maximum price more
than twenty dollars per acre, depending
upon the quality of the coal and the lo
cation as to transportation facilities.
Another important change requires
publication for thirty days before coal
lands will be passed to final receipt and
patent. Notices are also required to be
posted upon the land and in the United
States land office for the district in
which the land is situated.—Laramie

Treed By a Beur.
Jay Sideuer.who was in the city Wed
nesday morning, from Piukhampton,
where lie and Mrs. Sidener are in charge
of the LanghofT ranch, says he was treed
by a bear Sunday morning within half
mile of the house.
Jay had a *25 20 rifle and when he dis
covered the bear, —a pretty fair sized
brown one—he at once took a shot. As
the calibre of the rifie was small it took
a couple of bullets to let bruin know he
was being shot at, and he at once resent
ed’tlie insult. Mr. Sidener took to a tree
and carried his gun with him After he
was a safe distance from the ground, Jay
commenced shooting at the brute again,
and the bear took for tall timber.
Closed Down.
From S. H. Mclntosh, who has been
at the Village Bell mine for theprst four
months it is learned the mine closed
down last Friday and will probably not
be reopened again until in July, when
they will resume development -
Mr. Mclntosh states they have accom
(dished several hundred feet of (level
opment work and oponod up a number
of good veins of copper ore, and with
sufficient depth will undoubtedly strike
ore in shipping quantities.

WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, MAY 16. <907
FENCE RESERVE
Government has decided to co
operate with ranchmen
1 to enclose land.
, A dispatch from Washington last Sat
urday brought news to the effect that
k the government will co-operate with the
stockmen in fencing the reserves.
The forest service, co-operating with
[ the stockmen iu building fences for con
. trol of grazing on the White Riv«r Nat
; ional Forest reserve in Colorado, here
,! after will furnish forest material for
■ construction, including wire and stap
’ les. The stockmen will be expected to
keep these fences iu repair.
, Posts and poles nlay bo taken from
[ the forest reserves and iu some cases
J wire and staples will bo furnished and
, ! delivered at the nearest railroad point-
I ' All that the stoemmen are required to
t i do is to haul and set the posts and bring
j! the wire from the railroad point to the
place of construction. It is estimated
tliut the cost of wire for such fences
will bo about SSO per mile, delivered at
the nearest railroad point. James A.
Blair of Meeker, supervisor of the White
1 river forest, has been authorized to eu
! ter into an agreement for expenditures
| which would be necessary for building
of the lirst fences iu his forest.
Fences on the grazing laud, it is
thought, will prevent stock from stray
ing and prevent over-grazing, bringing
1 about an improved condition of the
I ranges and making it possible to kpep
5 ; stock under proper control.
Another new departure for the forest
servico is that of attempting to extoj
5 ! miuato wolves and other predatory an
. imals. The matter lias been under con
sideration for a long time and it his
been urged that it was proper for toe
i government to afford this protection wj
' stock grazed upon the reserves. T»e
1 ; first move made in that direction is Jo
i' be ou the Park Range reserve in Ro|£t
l county, John Criss of Dixon, Wyo.,
t ing been appointed a forest guard under
i Supervisor Hogan for the express pur
poso of exterminating these pests.
Weighed a Ton.
Win. Marr was in from Ilebron Sat
J urday bringing in a couple of Stallions
j to ascertain their weight.
Aviso 29551, a handsome black im
ported Percheron, owned by a company
( i of west side ranchmen, tipped the scales
| ! at 1975 pounds after being led a matter
of some twelve miles. This horse is one
i of the best horses in the Park.
’ i The company which owns him is com -
j posed of C. F. Staples, E. E. Lee’ Win.
[ Marr, Fletcher Campbell and W. O. Mel-
J len.
j The other sttalliou was a smaller ani
; mal, of the Clyde type, and weighed in
' i the neighbor of 1300 pounds. He is a
! (>erfect peice of horse flesh ami one of
: the prettiest animals seen in Walden for
some time.
Took Out Party.
| H. Loucks left yesterday morning
I with a fine four horse outfit, taking C.
R. Miller ami party to the Laramie river
: where they will be met by J. E. Wins
low, of Laramie, and taken on in to that
i city.
j The consisted of J. W. Eagon, Joseph
! and Thos. Underwood, of Pittsburg
and Mr. Miller of Williamsport.
The party was brought in from Ileb
ron by J. C. Riach that morning and
left at once. The roads between hero
and Laramie are pretty bad on account
1 of the weather but with such an outfit
as Mr. Loucks took them out with, the
I trip will be made in a short time, and as
comfortably as possible.
i
Fire at Encampment.
On Thursday night fire broke out in
the smelter building at Encampment
and before the fire could be gotten un
der control the smelter building and
tramway terminal were burned to the
ground.
The buildings burned were old, the
new structures just completed uot being
damaged. It is claimed tho loss is small
the buildings beiug covered with insur
iince, ami the work of reconstruction
will bo begun at once. The delay cans
ed by the burning of tho buildings will
probably not exceed ninety days.
Changes Hands.
The Poudre Valley Business Col logy
is an institution located at the seat of
Larimer County, and is a very worthy
institution for training young men and
women. The college has been organiz
ed about a year and a half, and has
made wonderful strides by the way of
advancement. Tho college has been lo
cated in the Avery Block, and owned
byO. C. Pettit, up to a month ago, when
he sold to E. C. llarrell and R. L Dick
ensheets, of Boulder, Colorado. The
college is to he conducted iu connection
with tho Boulder Business College, and
we have every reason to boleive it will
make a large ami strong school.
Their new quarters in tho Welch Block
give them almost ten thousand feet of
lloor space. We are informed that they
will probably put in a Musical Depart
ment in connection with the regular
business college courses. O. C. Pettit
will remain with tho school as manager.
Fort Collins, with its state school, and
this private institution will attract a
student body to that city of from eight
hundred to n thousand. This is the true
way to boost Larimer County. If our
county affords cities whioh have attrao
tions iu more than one respect, then our
property becomes more valuable.
Lost a Horse.
List Friday Jerome Decker had tho
misfortune to run over one of tho wheel
horses on his freight team, with the
front wheels of the wagon, and the
horse died tho next day as a result.
Mr. Docker had eight horses and two
wagons, loaded with freight. In com
ing across a muddy stretch of road ho
whipped up the horses in order to get
through without getting stalled, and
one or the wheel horses stumbled.break
ing the breast strap. Tho mud was
nearly belloy deep and before tho horse
could regain its feet tho wagon was on
top of it, the front wheel passed right
across its middle. Decker got the horse
out, and led it to Mr. Wards but the
next day it died as a result of its injur
• ies.
Has an Automobile.
J. E. Winslow, proprietor of the Wind
■ sorstablesin Laramie lias added an an
lomobile to his livery business for tho
accommodation of such of his patrons
who desire that sort of conveyance.
Tho car is a five passenger 1907 Reo.

laid down in Laramie. The car has
two speeds and reverse, with cape top
and is capable of making forty miles an
hour.
The machine is an excellent one, and
as that inode of transportation is in de
maml, Mr. Winslow is to be congratula
ted upon his enterprise and forsight.
A Double Burden.
Cattlemen who are obliged to graze .
their cattle ou the forest reserve, and
that comprises a great majority of them
in Routt county, are forced to just dou
ble their taxes. The minimum grazing
fee is 25 cents per head, and tho county
tax figures about 2-1 cents per head. Do
you wonder that they object to double
taxation? Tho value of ranches in and
adjoining forest reserves has been great
ly lessened by reason of tho policy re
cently inaugurated by*the forest service.
People do not want to buy in close prox
imity to Mr. Pinchot’s preserves. It sub
jects thorn to double taxation —Pilot.
MARKET LETTER
Deliver Union Stock Yards, May 13—
Receipts of cattle wore limited early
last week and prices made a substantial
advance. Later in the week the supply
was better but the advance was well
maintained ami beef steers are 10 to 15
cents higher with cows 15 to 25 cents up
Now record prices were made almost
every day. Steers sold at $5.30 to $5.-10
highest prices paid here this year, and
cows brought $1.35 to $4.00, tho latter
beiug 25 cents higher than previous high
price up to last week for carload lots.
Bulk of good killing steers on sale
brought $4,75 to $5.25, cows $3.70 to
$1.25, bulls $3.00 to $3.50 and veal calves
SO.OO to $7.00, with tops on the latter at
$7.25. The feeder and stocker demand
was also good but few hero. Prices
closed firm to higher with bulk of weeks
sales ranging from SI.OO to $1.75. Qual
ity of tho feeder and stockor offerings
however, was just fair and fancy steers
would have sold considerably higher.
Several bunches of southern stockers ar
rived but they were billed through ami
only a small amount of trading done.
Indications point to liberal receipts of
this class of cattle and a good trade this
as tho inquiry is strong. A few three
year-olds sold last week at $30.00 (K*r
head, the only sale of southerns reported
Today’s receipts were 3300 head, bulk
southerns going through. Market fully
steady bore though weaker east.
Notice.
All persons indebted to the firm of
Riach Bros, can make a settlement at
the ranch with Wm. J. Lleiuomuu.
THREE HORSES
,
D. 11. Cross comes In from Fort
Collins with Blooded
Stock.
D. 11. Cross came in last week from
Fort Collins with three stallions which
he has for sale to North Park people.
. The horses are quartered at H. Loucks
livery stable and Mr. Cross is renewing
old aquaintancos, ho having lived in tho
Park for eight years at one time, and
seldom failing to make at least one trip
j each year since that time.
, Mr. Cross has some first class horses
, with him ou this trip. One animal.
Bouton, 40027, an imported French Per
. cheron, eight years of ago, black and
weighing 2,005 pounds, is one of the
best horses of his class ever iu the Park.
The horso is perfect in every particular
and Mr. Cross holds him at a figure in
» which there is some reason.
■ Another one of Mr. Cross horses is a
> grey standard bred percheron, an ani •
1 mal somewhat smaller than the black,
weighing 1700 pounds, thoroughly gen
1 tel, and an excellent colt getter. lie is
also a well built animal.
> Tuo other horse owned by Mr, Cross is
a brown liainbletonian, coming three
years of age, weight 1,050, clean limbed
and built for travel. His sire is a horse
: with a trotting record and the colt,
' though green, handles himself like tho
1 thoroughbred he is. Tho horses are all
good stoek and Mr. Cross soils them on
their merits. He is well known hero
‘ and his word is good, tho horses being
just what he represents them to he, ami
the prices are within reason.
A Pleasing Incident.
Quo of tho pleasing incidents of the
recent Odd Follows anniversary celebra
. tion took place in the opera house in
; * presence of a vast crowd of spectators,
i who heartily enjoyed it. Just before j
, the close of the day's exercises and after j
' Grand Master F. C. Goudy had finished ;
? the delivery of his address, Fred Christ
, man and A. L. Holding were invited up
i on tht; stage, for what purpose they had
not the least conception until Grand
Master Goudy called them to tho front
and presented each with a beautiful
gold badge as a token of appreciation
for their more than twenty-live years
membership and faithful service in the
order as Odd Follows. The presentation
address was exceedingly felicitous and
one of the best that Mr. Goudy, who is
noted for the handsome way he has of
saving nice things nicely, ever made.
The gifts were gracefully acknowledged [
by the receipionts, but Mr. Christman
| says that his legs trembled worse, his j
heart thumped harder and his teeth rat j
tied more than they ever did when lie I
faced tho enemy in buttle line in Old I
Virginia during the civil war, and liow J
lie got off the stage without being car- J
l ied off ho hasn,t the least idea.

Mr. Christman joined the Odd Fellows

which he has since been a member. He
has probably been an Odd Fellow a great

Should Raise Salaries.
That the school teachers all over the
state are under paid, and that there is
now being an effort made to have them
placed ou an increased salary, is the in
formation which is silently whispered
about iu Fort Collins. School teachers
while they have not been hard to obtain
in this county as yet, are becoming
scarce, and it is believed that unless
something is done to increase the sala
ries they will turn their attentions to
more profitable lines.
Miss Pearl Moore, county siqierintend
ent, stated yesterday that she would
furor higher salaries for the teachers as
this would tend to promote the standard
More would be expected of a teacher
who gets SOO. a month than the one who
gets but SSO. She also stated that she
believed the people generally favored
an increase of salaries. As an instance
she cites the fact that iu the country dis
tricts, ns well ns the cities and towns
throughout Larimer county, when a
school district gets a good teacher the
district keeps raising the salaries to hold
the instructor.
Educators all over the country have
begun to realize that the school teachers
are under paid. They are realizing that
this has a tendency to cause the teach
ers to leave school teaching and enter
other lines of work - Unless something
is done it is evident that the proficiency
j of the school teachers will he lowered.
