GROWTH IS
ENCOURAGING
Output of Butter now
Exceeds 1,200
Pounds.
Number of Churnings Each
Week Will Havo to be
Increased.
The growth of the Creamery at Wal
ileen the past month it a matter for sin
cere congratulation to the management
and the ranchmen who aro taking such
an interest in making the enterprise a
success.
At the present rate of increase it will
be necessary to churn three times a week
instead of i.wo as at present, the amount
of cream for each churning now exceed
ing the capacity of the churn,
which is six hunred pounds of butter
at a churning.
Saturday’s supply of cream exceeded
the capacity of the churn by about 100
pounds and the supply Tuesday was 550
pounds, some 100 pounds more than the
proceeding Tuesday.
The manner in which the ranchmen
are taking hold of the proposition is n
source of considerable gratification to
everyone interested in the undertaking.
The creamery has boon in business but
little over a month and the amount of
now coming in Inis exceeded the expect-1
of the most sanguine, and the end is not
yet by a long way, as the ranchmen i
are buying and adding to their dairy
stock as rapidly as possible, and during
the year many thoroughbred milch
cows will bo imported to add lo the ex
cellent start already made in that line.
Articles in the New Era concerning ,
the possibilities of the Park as a dairy
country have excited outside interest
and many are writing to see if ranches I
can be secured, a number of families
from one locality wishing to come in !
this summer.
The fifteenth of the month lias been i
instituted ar pay day, and on that day
payment was made fof cream brought
to the creamery during the ton days in |
May. One of the ohecks given was to
E. A. Johnson, $lO, and the amount
made psr cow averages $8 a month.

WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20. 1907
PUBLIC LAND
CONVENTION
An Article Concerning
the Attitude of
The West.
All That is Asked by Stock
and Ranch Men is the
“Square Deal.”
The interstate convention called to
consider the public land question and
which will assemble in this city tomor
row will ho thrown open to the fullest
and freest discussion of questions affect
ing the public land policy in relation to
the Far West, says the Denver Republi
can.
With certain features of that policy
the people of this section aro not at var
iance. They believe as firmly as anyone
in preserving the forests. No one ap
preciates more fully than the citizens of
Colorado that it would ho a disaster if
the mountain forests should be destroy
ed.
In this particular there is nothing new
in the policy of the forestry bureau. It
is no new discovery to say that the tim
ber growth of the arid region is needed
to maintain a uniform flow in the
streams and to provide timber for the
use of the people. That is better under
stood and more fully appreciated by the
people state than by the residents
of the East, who seem for some reason
to think that the people of the far West
are held in restraint only by force of fed
eral law from stripping tlio_
of tliwir limber growth. 'Because a kin
dred folly was committed in some of tin
states bordering the lake region would
be no justification for the charge that
tho citizens of Colorado and other states
in the arid region are equally blind to
their interests.
The people of the arid region recognize
also that there is noad of measures to
prevent the destruction of the range by
overcrowding,and on this account some
of tin' cattlemen have favored a leasing
policy. It may bo questioned, however,
if the stock growers believe that a leas
ing system is requisite to accomplish the
desired end.
The people of the Rocky Mountain
states are in full sympathy with the ef
forts of the federal government to pro
vent frauds in the acquisition of coal and
other public lands. In so far as they are
opposed to the policy of holding coal
land* in perpetual government owner
ship they aro not to be considered as fav
oring the acquisition of these lands uu
der any conceivablo system of fraudu
lent locations and entries It would be
an insult to their integrity and their pa
triotism to assert that they are in sym
pathy with fraud of any kind whatsoev
er.
The people of this section insist that as
a rule the public lands should bo held
for eventual private ownership, for the
development of the Far West depends
upon the ability of its people to acquire
these lands. They contend that Ameri
can history teaches that the best way to
preserve the lands for the people is to lot
the people have them. Thus they would
become subject to taxation and contri
bute to maintenance of schools and oth
er forms of local government. Private
enterprise and not government owner
ship has made the Mississippi valley
what it is, and the people of the Rocky
Mountains feel that the development of
thoir states should be as freo and un
trammeled ns that of the Mississippi val
loy.
They recognize what President Roose
velt says about encouraging the settlor
and the home seeker, but they are con
vinced that homesteading will not be en
oouraged by a leasing system. The His
tory of strife over the occupation of land
in the range region would give anything
but encouragement to the homestead
ers to enter upon leased land, however
valid might ho their legal right to make
such entries.
There is no antagonism to President
Roosevelt in the minds of the majority
of the men who will attend the ap
proacliing convantion. They may dilTor
with him in respect of certain questions
of policy affecting matters of the deepest
interest to them in common with other
j residents of the Far West, but they will
j retain as strongly as of old their esteem
for him and their high regard for his
abilities and his desire to promote the
interests of the country.

MARKET LETTER
Denver Union Stock Yards, Juno 17—
Receipts of cattle last week were heav
iest of the year and there was a very
good percentage of natives. Under
strong demand tbo market on beef stuff
.was active and closed about a dime high -
er than proceeding week. Some choice
Western Nebraska steers aold at $5.40
with bulk of good killers at $1.90 to $5.
jJS and lair to medium grades at $1.50 to
H.w. Choice baby beef—steers and j
•heifers mixed— sold at. $5 to $5.20.
.Choice heifers brought $4.50 $5 with fair
to good grades at $8.40 to $1.50. Cows
were not very plentiful. Inquiry for
good ones was strong but poorer grades
Jrero a little slow and weak. The best
•old at $4.50 to sl. 75 with most good
Spes at $1 to $4.45 and the fair to good
8.50 to $4.00. Buyers here are want-
Sg good cows badly but discriminate
djgainsttho grassy as it is not hard en
ough yet to kill. Indications point to a
J*aroity of beef cattle ir the territory
tributary to Denver and prospects are
bright for the present high prices to con
tinue. Bulls sold readily at firm prices ‘
$3.25 to $4 taking the bulk. Veals went
largely at $5 to $(5.25 for good light
weights. Feeder and stocker supply I
rather more liberal than for several
weeks, hut quality nothing extra. Do j
mand for good stoers is strong here with |
piices very much the same as a week
ago. Buyers have orders for all good I
feeders and Stockers they can get. Rec
eipts today wore 5,000 head, market act
j ive and strong at last weeks good close. I

ARE READY
FOR BUSINESS
L. H. P. & P. Rail
road has Secured
Rolling Stock.
Surveyors ure Working on
North Park Line and
Graders Coming.
Tho Laramie, Hahn’s Peak & Pacific
railroad has secured its rolling stock and
are now organizing a passenger ami
freight business between Laramie and 1
Centennial, the present terminus of the
road. Tho ballasting of the road bed is
being pushed and it is expected tho road
will bo straightened and in first class
condition by July lirst.
Grades are being prepared forfourad
ditional side tracks at the K. J. 801 l
ranch, some eighteen miles from Lara
raie. This point will bo fitted up for
stock yards and a supply point for ranch
men.
The first official trip was made over
the road Sunday, Hon. Fred A. Miller,
president of tho company, making atrip
to Centennial in a “special," accompani
ed by a number of guests.
It is the intention of the company to
push the road from Centennial into the
North Park coal fields, as rapidly as men
and teams can do it, and it has been
confidently stated the railroad will bo
completed to Walden early in the fall,
possibly by September first. Graders [
are busy on the line this side of Lenten I
nial and, it is reported that fourteen I
miles of grade has been completed, al I
though this is not authentic.
With work being done on tho Sarato-
ga & Encampment road, and tho Lara- 1
mie, Hahn s Peak <!t Pacific activities,
! the prospects for North Park securing |
railroad facilities, within a year, are ex -
i cellont Tho S. &E. grade is complete 1
j for fifteen miles south of Saratoga, the
j ties laid to Saratoga from Walcott and
I about ten miloa of track laid, with tho
I track layers making better than a mile
i a day. At this rate the road will ho
i completed to Saratoga bv about the first
!of July and to Encampment sometime |
: in the fall.
While tho S.& E. road may make En- |
eampment its terminus for tho present
it will undoubtedly push into tho Park
! later on and in all probability will make
I connection with tho Moffat road at
Granby.
