To the Editor of The Independent.
The agitation that il going on at the
present time, in this and the adjacent
counties. with regard to the proposed
setting apart of the tract OF land known
as the Uncompahgrs Plateau" 10 =
government forest reserve. is question
/ in which every settler with the welfare
OF his town and county at heart should
take personal interest. and l crave q
small space in your paper for few re-
marks on the subject.
In the first place, what are the bene-
fits We are promised will accrue 10 us in
the event of such a - reserve" being
established? The preservation Of com.
pa-atively small tract of timber land in
the southern extremity OF the plateau.
we are given to understand. il the first
and foremost consideration. and to oh
tain this we are told that few cattle
men must take charge Of the entire
range; and the obnoxious sheopmen

in reply to this point would like. firstly
to call the attention Of the public To the
fact tbat this particular tract Of timber

dents Of Delta and Delta county gener-
ally. inasmuch as we are practically
dependent on this source for our sup
plies Of lumber and green timber.
Secr ndly. are the sheep actually more
drei ructive to the timber than are the
cattle? l trow not. 1t is impoesibIe TO
find in all the Horsefiy country any in

ascribed to the presence OF the much
ma 'igned sheep.
Thirdly. does this tract Of timber or
forest land tend 10 conserve the winters

extent? Here again I must beg leave to
depy the pstentiality of the claim set
forth by our would be "protectors.' The

that could derive any benefit. were such
imaginery conservation of SHOWS possi.
sible, are the Dry. Roubidesux. Escsi-
ante and Domingucz creeks. streams
that can "cut but little ice" in the irri-
cation Of our county.
Lastly. but by no means the least. the

QUAY SEEKS A NEW HOME.
He Wants to Purchase Property In
West Chester.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. Dec. 23.-AccOrd-
just returned from Washington, former Sen
ator Matthew Stanley Quay is seriously
thinking of making West Chester his per-
manent home He has requested Mr. Talbo,
TO look him up desirable property here.
Il have always had kindly feeling for
Chester county" said the former Senator
TO the West Chester politician. for it was
the home of my ancestors"
Colonel Quay is ramed for General Mat
thew Stanley. an uncle. who many years
ago was distinguished citizen of this
county and a resident OF East Brandywine
township. This old Stanley farm was few
years ago purchased and is now owned by
the ex-senator.
Colonel Quay explained 10 Mr.. Talbot that
he desired to make a permanent home for
himself and family either in West Chester
or Phoeuixyille. although the former place
is considered more desirable. He would like
a property OF about eighteen rooms, with a
lawn of perhaps a couple of acres. Mr.. Tall
bot reached the conclusion that the fine
house of Stephen p. Darlington, on Vir-
ginia Avenue. at the junction of Church
Street would be an ideal home for the
Quay family. and had 4 conference with
the owner this morning.
The ex-senator intends to build an annex
to the house that he may purchase and
collect his immense library. which at the
present time is scattered from Pennsylvania

WHEELER NAY RETURN.
The General Dissatisned With Hi
Duties In the Philippines.

Dutien In the Philippines.
Gen. Joe Wheeler has intimated to the
War Department that II his services are
not required in the Philippines he will re-
turn home and resume his seat in Con-
gress.
1t is believed the general is not quite
satisfied with the command he was as
signed to by General Otis, and that he
has became weary of life in the islands.
and prefers to resign his commission and
take up Congressional duties.
private cablegram was received by
the War Department this week from
General Otis stating that General
Wheeler was anxious to know il the
Washington authorities wished him to re-
main in the Philippines or to take up his
duties in Congress-" and an answer has
been sent back that the President does not
care to advise General Wheeler in the mat
ter.
1t will depend now entirely on the gen.
eral whether he remains in the army or
returns to Washington. 1t is said that the
department would not order him home un-
less he applies, but that II he tenders his
resignation it will be accepted without de-
lay.
Friends of General Wheeler have been
endeavoring to have him appointed to
brigadier generalship in the reguar army
with the understanding that he retire i'm
mediately. 1t is very doubtful whether
he will be allowed to take his seat in Con-
gress. 80

THE TRIAL OF THE CHESAPEAKE
An Official Report Made on the Ses-
seIs Performances.

The official report of the Board OF Inspec-
tlon and Survey, which Witnessed the trial
OF the steel sailing ship Chesapeake. bull;
for the use Of the Annapolis Naval Cadets,
was received at the Navy Department to-
day. The Chesapeake has been placed out
of commission at the Boston navy yard.
The board says that the work of the Ches-
speake in light airs was very satisfactory.
The position of the boats prevented the
main san from being set properly. Under
top sails by the wind the steady heel of the
vessel was from seven to ten degrees. and
in squalls the hsel increased 10 sixteen de-
grees. In Iacking, the ship lost headway.
The board was impressed with the good
condition OF tie vessel for sea service. and
it compliments the captain and crew for the
manner in which they handled her. Several
minor defects in the equipment of the ship
are reported by the board. but otherwise
the Chesapeake was found 10 be all right.
No material changes in her are recon-
mended. In conclusion the board expresses
the opinion that the stability. ssaworthi-
ness and sea-going qualities of the Chesa-
peake are satisfactory.

THE PENSION COMMISSION.
Five New Offices for the President to
Fill.

The act passed by both houses OF Con-
gress creating commission to revise
and codify the pension laws OF the United
States. has placed at the Presidents dis
pcsal FIVE Offices in the form of appoint
ments to the commission. The bill provides
that the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate, shall appoint a
non-partisan commission OF five members,
at least one OF whom shall belong TO the
Grand Army of the Republic. whose duty il
shall be. under the direction OF the Secre-
tary of the Interior, to revise and codify
the pension laws.
The commission is required to submit re-
ports to Congress which shall indicate any
proposed change in the substance of exist
ing law, and shall be accompanied by
notes which shall state the reasons for
such change.
The appointment of a pension commits
sion was made imperative by the many
bills that are constantly being submitted
to Congress providing for various changes
in the pension laws. either to adapt them
to special cases or TO bring about general
innovations.
The commissioners appointed by the
President will make thorough investiga-
tion of everything relating to pensions. and
will submit for Congressional approval
such suggestions as may appear to them to
be desirable.
The salary of the commissioners will be
$1,000 year each, and all the necessary
expenses incurred in the performance of
their duties will be paid by the Govern
ment The strongest possible influence
will be brought to bear in the securing of
these appointments. not only because OF
their desirabilty as positions commanding
good salaries. but because of the immense
interests involved in the subject to be
considered. which affects people of all
classes in every part of the country.
