QUAY FENCED RESERVATION
Judge Decides Section Line Roads
Must BE Kept Omen.

n controversy over the fencing of large
bodies school land leased from the state by
private parties for grazing purposes is
likely to lead to curative legislation this
winter. Recently ex-senator Quay and
G. III. Mckee of Pennsylvania rented
the Fort Sully military reservation from
the state and fenced it for pasture. One
of the roads used by government mail
carrier was closed, and that individual re-
fused TO Shut gate put there by the Penn
sylvania men for his use. An action was
brought to restrain him from using the
road, resulting in a decision by Judge
Gatfy that the mail carrier cannot be
stopped.
Ii county commissioners acting upon
this decision open all section line roads
the large blocks of land leased for grazing
in several counties must be fenced by
sections or else the grazers must herd their
stock. There is likely to be legislative
battle this winter over this question be-
tween the large cattle men and the small
owners which may result in the repeal of
the herd law, thus compelling all stock
owners to fence their pasture lots.

TO BAR OUR WHEAT.
German Aerarians Would Put ON %
Pr0hibitive TarifJ.

Washington: The agrarian party in
Germany, having successfully brought
about law at the last session of the reich
stag prohibiting, in effect, the importation
OF American canned meats, is now using
its powerful influence to increase heavily
the import duties Oh all grains entering the
empire, notably OH wheat. This is ac-
cording 10 the report of Consul Diedcrich
at Bremen.
The aim OF the agrarians, according to
the consul. is to make Germany entirely
independent of all countries for its bread
stuffs and food supplies. "lt is difficult TO
see" says Mr.. Diedcrich, chow the pro-
poscl national legislation can have any
other effect in the long run than to enhance
the price of the daily bread so needful to
every man, woman and child in this coun-
try. 1t is also impossible to understand
how the proposed duty can increase the
crops OF wheat throughout the empire or
decrease the appetite of the German peo-
Pile. At present, however, there seems
little doubt that the proposed law will be
passed by the reichStau'' -

officers were joined shortly after by State
Treasurer Mcserve, who found the Office in
disorder, but the steel vault was uniniured
