the opinion that the labor unions are doing
more now than anything else TO increase the

thousands OF head of cattle are now ON foot

FENCES ON PUBLIC LANDS. -.

ton of the secretary of the interior to issue
any general order in regard to removal OF
the fences from the public lands, but it has
been determined to deal with all cases of vi
olation of the law specially. 1t is believed
better results will be thus obtained than for
general order, which would be looked upon
as proclamation binding upon one III
particular. Special agents of the land office
are under instructions to report to the de-
pertinent all cases of illegal fencing and in
structions looking to the removal of fences
are promptly furnished fer his guidance. In
each case where the agent is able to effect {
removal be is directed to do SO, and when
necessary U. S. Marshals will be called up,
on through the attorney general. This
action was taken to-day upon the report o.
an agent showing large tract of public lane
had been illegally fenced in southern Colo
RADIO adjoining the Kansas line lettel
was sent to the attorney general requesting
him to cause the United States marshal tt
remove fences.
