ERAL TERRITORY WITH
DRAWN FROM ENTRY.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.—More
than four million acres of public,
lands which were included in the
forest domain were thrown out to
day and will be available for home
stead settlement.
This came about through action
of President Taft, when he approved
the plans for the reclassification of1
forest lands which were formulated ,
by Gifford Pinchot.
Following the action of the Presi-,
dent in signing the above order,
Secretary Ballinger withdrew from
public entry lands supposed to pos
sess valuable water power sites or
deposits of minerals to the extent of j
more than 16,000 acres along the
Brunau river In Idaho and about
28,000 acres along the Salmon river
in Idaho and Nevada.
The lands are withdrawn tem-|
porarily, in expectation of proposed
legislation to affect the matter of
power sites. The secretary also
withdrew more than half a million
acres in Wyoming, supposed to con
tain coal deposits.
The bill making Commander Rob
ert E. Peary. U. 8. N., discoverer of
the North Pole, a rear admiral, was
passed by the Senate today. The in
dications are that the measure will
also receive the prompt approval of
the House.
President Taft today was given
full details of the plans formulated
for the reception to be tendered ex
President Roosevelt on his arrival
In New York, some time between
June lf>th and 21st.
Col. John A. Stewart, president of
the New York State League of Re
publican clubs, and Representative
of the Republican Club of New York,
told the President that a committee
would undoubtedly extend a formal
Invitation for him to be present at
New York as a guest of honor.
In a cablegram received at New
York yesterday, Mr. Roosevelt stat
ed he would be glad to accept the
honor of a reception, provided It
was made a simple affair and was
tendered on the date of his arrival.
Col. Stewart said the Idea now is to
have the steamer on which Mr.
Roosevelt arrives met down the bay
by a fleet of yachts and harbor craft,
this to be followed by n land parade
of some sort.
TO STOP THAIIKH IN Ft'Tl'IlKH.
Taft, It Is Said, Will I'rge Legislation
ill Special Message.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—That
President Taft will send to congress a
special message urging the passage of
a bill prohibiting gambling in agri
cultural products was asserted by
Representative Livingston of Geor
gia at a meeting of southern repre
sentatives and officers of the Farmers
Union Saturday night.
President Barrett of the Farmers
Union said that 2,000,000 members
of his organization were resolved to
eradicate gambling in agricultural
products, even If it meant the closing
of every exchange in the country. ^
“The Louisiana lottery is no more"
ho said. "The government can re
lieve the farmers in the country from
the Incubus of exchange gambling in
the same way if it chooses to do so.
We farmers are appealing to con
gress. We want to know who our
friends are. In this fight the man
who is not with us Is against us.”

COLORADO HOLDS THAT
GOVERNMENT HAS NO
RIGHT TO MAKE IT—
COAL LANDS ACTION.
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 9.—Under
law enacted by the state legisla
ture, Attorney General Barnett is
preparing to test in court the right
of the government forestry service
to collect conservation charges from
power companies, manufacturers,
farmers and others using the water
of mountain streams for power pur
poses.
The attorney contends that if the
government has the right to make
such charges, it has the equal right
to charge farmers for the use of
water for irrigation purposes. He
further contends that regulation pf
the streams is vested solely in the
state.

j valuable coal deposits.

sue patents to the land with restric
i tions as to coal and mineral con
i'tents, authorized by the recent en
actment of this law, and therefore
amenable to the latter restrictions.
The land affected is said to be under
laid with coal veins varying in
thickness from six to twelve feet.
