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. A schem advocated by the state forest er of California is being watched with WALDEN, COLORADO, NOVEMBER 14, 1907. a great deal of interest. Under the pol ice powers of the state forester is eudenv oring to protect the watersheds and pre vent private owners from devastating these lands in such mauner as will injure irrigation of land below. If this plan works well the government forester bellevee it will be taken up in other states and federal authorities will he aided greatly by the co—operation. 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 I I j Thanksgiving Ball Given by I. O.

The meeting was adjourned and tv good feel ing was predominant. 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. 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. NUMBER 37.
