Entered as second-class matter March

orado, under Act of Congress of March
S. 1879.
Every stockman who signs the sup
pleineutal agreement attached to a regu
lar application for grazing permits is
virtually.placing himself under the con
trol of the supervisor in charge of the
reserve in his section, With such a
man as Hogan in charge of the Park re
serve you know what to expect in the
event you incur his displeasure.
A man who will use his office to vent
his personal displeasure is certaiidy not
the man to wield such power as the
new regulations place in the hands of
the supervisor or rangeis.
Creating Reserves.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, has the
following to say with regard to the ex
tent of the reserves:
“The coustant tendency of the forest
ry bureau ever since it was established
has been to reach out ami cover ground
and moro ground and accumulate to it
self power and authority never contem
plated by the congress of the United
States and which detrimental and injur
ious to and almost destructive of the in
terests of many sections of our western
country. Who could havo supposed
when ,in 1891, congress authorized the
president of the United States by exocu
tive proclamation to set aside forest
lauds that within this brief time over
200,000 square miles of land would be
set apart from settlement among the
lands and mountains of the west? We
do not understand the significance of
these figures.
“But if I should say that within the
last few years there has been withdrawn
from settlement, from entry, from use
ful occupation, from home making, a
tract of land substantially which, taking
a north and south line 200 miles through
tho city of Now York, would extend
west to the city of Chicago, a thousand
miles, I am not over stating the amount
of land. Tho bureau of forestry has
withdrawn from tho useful service of
the people an amount of land which
would cover acre for aero tho whole of
New England; add to New England the
state of New York, tho magnificent
common-wealth of Pennsylvania, the
splendid empire of Ohio and aero for
acre you havo covered the lands with
drawn under this forestry policy. This
is an astounding statement.
“Then in some respects the recent
agricultural bill was the most wonder
ful ever presented to congress, because,
in addition to the 129.000,000 acres al
ready withdrawn, it proposed to with
draw -100,000,000 acres moro and put
them under the charge of a single bu
reau chief. This would give to one man
moro power over men and property and
money than is now held by any individ
ual king, prince, potentate or subject
in any civilized country on tho face of
tho earth. This seems a broad state
merit but it is true to the fact. This bill
proposed to take all the grazing lands of
the United States in the country where
the forest reserves are—the arid region—
and, as stated by the chief of tho bureau
Mr. Piuchot, to put them under his
charge to lease and let and permit upon
at his will and at his figures.
• The bureau of forestry is now the
greatest lumbering interest on the face
of the earth, Talk about your lumber
barons; your lumber monopolies! Whore
is tho m.m, save the chief of this bureau
who has under his absolute control 146,
000,000 acres of timber, as recently ox
panded by the president much of it the
finest on God's footstool? Where is the
man who can use the government force
and the whole power and treasure of
the government in his lumbering oper
ations, selling to whom ho pleases, in
what amounts he pleases and at what
price he pleases and without responsibil
ity to the congress of tho United States
or any other body of men or authority?
Show me the parallel in this govern
ment or any other, if you can. And
then add to this 400,000,000 acres of
grazing land which he wants put under
his control and he wields-a power over
an empire the like of which is not wield
ed by another man beneath the sbiuiug
sun.”
Has Poles Out.
Henry C. Boston, who has tho con
tract to furnish poles for tho Walden
Rand telephone lino, came in Saturday
from tho timber. He reports having in
the neighborhood of 500 poles cut and
I parked out, which will be hauled by the
boys and placed along the line of survey
being made by O. S. Case.
The work of digging holes will be
commenced about the first of next week,
the ground being sufficiently thawed to
make the work comparatively easy.
Now that the ground is sufficiently
soft the line on the lower Michigan, tak
ing in the ranches to Cowdrey and Piuk
hampton will be finished. This line is
needed and will prove of much value to
both ranch and businessmen.
The Canadiatf aud Platte districts are
also in the improvement sections and
will be connected up before summer.
Manager Hoover says ho has placed an
order with the company for sufficient
wire to handle the territory to be cover
ed.
Nearly Flooded Out.
The ice has been breaking up in the
Platte river the past week and an ice
gorge formed below Victor Hanson’s
house, backing the water up and nearly
flooding the house. Wednesday even
ing the barns aud bunk house were
flooded with several inches of water, and
in parts of the main house the water
did some damage.
Elmer Hammond and John Johnson
were in charge and kept things piled up
jus much as possible. The gorge went
out this afternoon and the water is in
the natural channel again.
