points about the Forest. lie is a gentle

a suflicicnt number of bulls on the range,

season the stockmen will have to prop
erly salt their cattle and will have to
ha\e to have 1 bull to every 25 head of
cows. As this is a state law, and to be

ed to decay without ever being used,
lie read the following article as proof
of the fact that the forests of the coun
try are being rapidly used:
“In twenty years the timber supply
in the United Slates, on government re
serves and on private holdings, at the
present rate of cutting, will be exhaust
ed, although it is possible that the
growth of that period might extend the
time another live years.”
This announcement was made recent
ly by Gilford Pinchot, the government
forester, who has just returned from
a six months inspection trip, on which
he traveled 10,000 miles.
In sounding his warning Mr. Pinchot
urged that the danger of the situation
should not be underestimated, lie said
that the United States uses more timber
per capita than any other country, and
that every man, woman, and child
would be affected. lie described the
policy of discounting the future of the
country by failure to protect the natural
resources and he advised all who have
not already done so to rend President
Roosevelts speech at Memphis on this
general subject.
About one liftli of the forest area of
country is in government reserves, but
Mr, Pinchot called attention to the fact
that as privately owned reserves are bet
ter than the government resesves, as a
general rule the government does not
control one- fifth of the timber supply.
The forest service will ask Congress
for more money and more men in order
to extend the service and will push the
work of reforesting the denuded timber
lands. Mr. Pinchot says, however, that
it is utterly beyond the possibility so the
service to meet the situation and pre
vent serious trouble.

these lands in such mauner as will injure

If this plan works well the government

In appealing for the protection of tne
natural resources, Mr.Pinchot said that
is a changing sentiment throughout the
country and that people are beginning to

Resolutions.
Following are resolutions drafted by
the committee at the Stockmans meet
ing and unanimously approved by the
meeting.
That Whereas; The high altitude of
North Park and adjacent ranges, which
varies from 8.500 feet in the valleys to
12,500 feet on the summit of the mouu
tain comprising the Medicine Bow and
Park Range Reserves makes it impract
icable to graze cattle upon the Reserves
foa more than approximately more than
sixty days during the season.
And Wheieas:
Becouse of this short season,
1 the stockmen do not receive the same
benefits as thoes using the reserves'in
lower altitudes. Therefore, ho it rosolv
ed that:
We respectfuly urge the Forest Dept,
to consider the special conditions and
to sot a grazing fee in accordance with
the limited benefits derived from the
use of these reserves, such a fee not to
exceed a maximum of twenty cents per
head.

A Mistake.
We wish to rectify a mistake which we
made in last weeks papper. In reporting
the death of the baby of Mr ahd Mrs - L.
A. Coe’s it appeared in the paper as
though the accident was due to the care
lessness of the mother. This was not so
as it later ap|>ears that the nurse left in
charge of the boy for a short time Thurs
day evening left a pitcher of boiling
water witliin roach of him while she
went to another part of the house. He
cought it and tipped it over upon him
self scalding him so that he died Tues
day morning. * Wo wish to make an
an apology for the mistake.
