Leasing PASTURE LnnGs.
THerald.1

L1SralQ.I
It has been reported That the recent con-
vention of Surveyors General agreed upon a
proposition to Recommend the passage Of a
law by which the large extent Of pasturage
land now q part OF the public domain in the
Territories might be leased in large tracts and
for a term Of years, reserving the right of any
who desire to enter any portions as home
stead or pre-emption, or mineral, under the
present laws. The plan seems to US objec-
tionable for a number Of good reasons. In
the first place it seems as though lands leased
on such terms would be 50 unsatisfactory to
lessees that they would not bring enough 10
pay for the trouble provided they could be
leased at all. Parties generally like to know
what they have got and how long they are to
have it in order to make arrangements. AS
proposed one might lease a tract Of 5000
acres for ten years, and at the end of two not
have q half left, and that so cut up as to be
of little value. The better portion Of course
would be taken by pre-emptors and enclosed
80 that the Lessee Of the range could not get

worthless. We believe the pioneers Of this
country ore entitled fairly To the use Of the
vacant lands IS commons, and that it is a
Wanton curtailm8nt Of privileges to which
they have an equitable claim. Il would segi-
DUSTY cripple and retard important industries,
falling heaviest on men starting with little
means. We do not believe the government
would realize expenses, while they would rob
the poor to benefit the rich and retard settle
ment. It is too soon to say Of any lands Of
the Territories that they are beyond reclama~
ton and cannot he soon disposed Of under
present laws. Certainly nothing appears as
yet to Justify any such conclusions. AS
more comes under cultivation the natural
rainfall will increase. Irrigation as yet has
been attempted only Oh q small scale and in
a tri1ling way. Artesian wells, for all that is
known, may be successful generally. The
public lands are disappearing yearly in such
an increasing ratio that every inch remaining
should be retained for occupation as home
steads. III fifty years more we are likely to
be out Of land. It is best to begin to 90
slow.

lAaCN AtoipN
For some time Dast the herders on Snake
River. commonly known IS cowboys, have
been emulating the deeds OF their kind in
Texas. and have established q reign OF terror
in the where they meet or pass through
on their drives, and are as desperate and
reckless marauders as ever infested any
country. Mr.. S. E. Larabie, who returned
November 1st, says that about ten days ago
thew kicked up a muss at Blackfoot, break
ing in windows and running the town for a
while, but that the citizens rallied and put the
worst one in jail.
On the 28th two or more Of them came to
Anderson's store at Snake River Bridge, shot
the dog and chickens, and finally fired into
the store, presumably at one of the store
keepers who had demonstrated with them.
They then went toward the corral. Two
men from the store followed them with guns.
When near the corral the two cowboys
jumped up and fired, but missed. Tn store
men then fired, killing one of the cowboys,
and a hot fired by another person killed the
second one. This ended the fray, for the
time, at least. The bodies of the dead men
were taken down to Blackfoot for burial.
The parties who killed them gave themselves
up, had an examination, and were acquitted.
There are large bands Of cattle On Snake
River, and the cowboys are running the
country. . @-u."@ @@"@ .M@~@ .@
