having held a state convention at the last

the wording of the statute authorizing po.
litical parties to be represented on the bai-
lot. This Is a mntter upon which there is
' much tilsagreement. While It Is admitted
that the democrats anti populists cast more
than the required per cent of the total num-
her of votet , there Is nothing of record to
prove this and the secretary of state , In the

tidal record Is concerned it was possible
for all of the democrats to have voted the
i'opulist ticket. or vice versa , without affecting -
fecting the general result. and the secretary
has nothing to show what proportion of the
Vote each party cast. The matter is In dis-
2)UtP between the populists and democrats ,
cach party claiming to have furnished the
argcr number of votes , but neither being
able to produce any figures. 1p to date no
one has hart the temerity to claim that the

000 votes at the last general election , and
: the required per cent would be above that
fIgure. 'ct the sliver republicans have cer-
titled In their candidates and expect to occupy -
cupy a place on the ticket.

Another qUe3tiofl that is brought forward
along this lint is Just what the law contemplated -
plated about the size of state conventions.
I specifies that in the organization of a
V new party there must be at least 200 elert-
. , nra participating in the state Convention.
t/ otbing is said about the number required at
future conventions. The secretaries of the
silver republican Convention of 1S97 were
able to certify that there were over 200
delegates present at the state convention.
although the participation on the part of
that many actual delegates has always been
doubted. This year ( be largest number of
delegates the silver republicans were able
to muster at their state convention was 116
and most of the time the number fell far
below that figure. One whole congressional
district was unrepresented. and of those
present at the convention fully 25 per cent
'ere from Lancaster county. Yet the party
claims a legal status and by its certiOcate
to the secretary of state asks for a place
on the olilcial ballot.
The state superintendent is quite sure that
there is something wrong with the post-
office tIeartmcnt at Denver. Today he re-
cetvctl from there a letter that had been
wrttten by State Superintendent George 13.
l.lfle on September 20 , 1S0. and which wa
addrezsed to 'Ed Price. Denver , Cob. " The
poltmarks showed that the letter was mailed
at the Lincoln ofee the sante day it was
written and that it was received by the
] ) enver otfice on the following day. The
nest postmark is dated August ) , 1S9S. when
the Denver ounce returned the letter to the
writer as "unclaimed. ' This shows that it
was held In the Denver office for eight
years. which is regarded as an unusually
long time for a letter to await a claim-
ant.

Serious trouble in interior Alaska is apprehended -
prehended by the United States government.
Food riots are teared at Fort Yukoa and
other up-river points , growing out of the
failure of the transportation companies to
get supplies in on account of the prevailing
low water. Acting on instructions received
from W'ashington. Major General Merriam
will quickly dispatch a battery of artillery
to St. Michaels , the officer in charge having
orders to proceed at once up the Yukon
river to Fort Yukon and open up a mill-
tary post for the coming winter. The cx-
peditlon wilt also carry a large quantity of
extra provisions and supplies to relieve dis-
tress. When St 3lichaels is reached the
commanding ofileer will promptly levy on
any river boats he may find , seizing them
if necessary. and will transport his troops
and supplies to their destination with all
possible dispatch. A form of military government -
ernment will be established and good order
maintained in Alaska , even if it requires

it was unsafe to proceed to sea under such

DENVER , Aug. h1.-Speclal.-The ( ) appointment -
pointment of Colonel \V. T. S. May of this
city as superintendent of forestry in the
United States means a new deal In the mat-
Icr of preserving forests In this part of the
country. Within a week or ten days a ays
tern of forestry police will be in operation ,
with every reservation in this state and
Utah closely guarded by the ernpboyes of
Uncle Sam , who will permit no violation
'usbatevcr of the act of February 24. 1S7 ,
, in which provisions are made for the pro.
tection and preservation of the forest that
bias not already been damaged or wiped out
by fire.
The sheep raising industry will be most
affected by this new method of procedure.
I The grazing lands in Colorado are nearly
all in the forest reservations hich are
I trader jurisdiction of the government. hun-
.lreds of thousands of sheep that have here-
tofore grazed on Colorado lands will be ex-
eluded and the owners put to more or less
inconvenience. At Tennessee pass alone ,
just above Leadville , there are from 50.000
to 100.000 sheep fed every year. The conditions -
ditions are such that it Is deemed best for
the country to keep these out of that tern-
tory. In the states \\'ashington and Oregon -
gen , where most of the Colorado sheep come
from , the moisture Is so profuse that the
soil Is more reproductive of grass. There
the law permits sheep grazing anywhere
and at any time. The conditions are differ.
eat In Colorado. The climate being dry ,
grass is slow to propagate , and when once
trodden down becomes a barren waste. In
the grazing lands every winter finds the
ground smooth and barren where the grass
was profuse during the balmy months. It
is a well known fact that sheep play havoc
with every form of vegetation they have
access to.
The Denver. Kansas City , Omaha and Chi.-
cage dealers in sheep have heretofore purchased -
chased feeders in Oregon and Washington
at about $1.50 per head , driving them to
Colorado and Utah , where they feed them
preparatory ( or the market. where the money
doubles in the fall. hluxndreds of thousands
of sheep feed in Colorado every year. At
Tennessee pass last year two well known
firms fed 60.000. and In various other parts
of the state the numbers ranged as high.
All this wIll be abolished , and the owners
compelled to seek land not in the forest
reservations , which is very scarce and not
fit for grazing , or keep their stock further
west , paying heavier freight wben shipping
time comes. This , it is predicted , will
materially affect the wool market , as well
as other branches fed by the sheep-raising
Industry.
Forests inst lie Saveil.
Realizing that the west has also suffered
untold tosses from forest fires during the
past few years , and the urgent need for
some remedy. the Interior department has
a plan by which further catastrophes and
forest depredations will be prevented to a
great extent. An effort will be made to
remove the dangers altogether.
Secretary Bliss of the Interior depart-
meat evolved the plan and is fast putting
it into operation.'ith the aid of an appropriation -
propriation of 50,000 by the last congress
the work is going on nicely , and this fall
It is hoped that Colorado and other western
States will be saved the unpleasantness of
receiving the bad news of extensive forest
fires. Heretofore the state has lost heavily
through this source. Forest fires every
fall for several years past have materially
decreased the supply of timber. and with a
continuation of the circumstances for a few
more years the state would soon become
devoid of any growth of consequence.
There are yet to be appointed four in-
specters of forests and twelve patrolmen or
forest rangers. The latter will be well
mounted and have extensive patrol duties ,
One commissioner has been appointed.
The inspectors. or commissioners , will
keep posted on the conditions of the various
secttOfl3 and have any threotening wrong
righted. The guards ride about the country -
try in search of offenders and dangerous
conditions and are to be generally used
under their superior officers in the preserva.
tions of the forests. Colonel May will
have the supervision of the work all over
this state and Utah. The salary of the
inspector is to be 5 a day and of the guards
$50 per month.
The benefits of this new enterprise are
not doubted anywhere. The memorable forest -
est fires near Aspen four years ago , during
which hundreds of acres of land were laid
waste and black , while the people were
powerless to protect their homes and land ,
will long be remembered by those inter-
eated. In many other localities there are
the black swaths cut by the red tongues.
thousands of dollars worth of valuable tim.
ber land being consumed. The forests of
Colorado are of that nature which easily
ignite. The dry climate is conducive to the
tinder-like state of the timber and itt the
fall when the woods are dry a camp fire , or
perhaps the sparks from one that is left for
dead , can start a conflagration that reaps a
harvest of ruin.
Watch Clip Camping Parties.
No campfires will be allowed close to inflammable -
flammable material and with the new sys-
tern the government will know almost every
party in the state. its location. place of entering -
tering the forests and all other details likely
to be of service.
Fires and sheep herders are not the only
persons who will have to look sharp for the
rangers. Hardly a camping party goes out
that trees are not defaced in some manner ,
or fires are built too close to inflammable
material. The malicious chopping of trees
or in any other manner defacing the government -
ernment land will render the offender
smedable to the law on a serious charge.
The commissioners will reside in their
respectIve territories. Captain S. II. Stan.
nard has been appointed the commissioner
for the district about Denver. lie received
his appointment from the superintendent
this morning , when that of Colonel May ar-
rIveI.
The other commissioners have not been
olfleially notified. but it Is known that one
resides at each of the following places :
Fort Collins , Pueblo , Garfield county. El
Paso county. Colonel May will hurriedly
send appointments tg several rangers in
those localities where forest fires are most
likely to occur , and says that in less than
ten days the service will be complete and
in active oneratloo. the rangers anti inspectOrs -
spectOrs being in the fIeld. The jurisdic-
lion of Colonel May extends over Utah , but
