Local Option Leasing.


The special committee on land leas-
ing, appointed by the National Live
Stock association as result Of the
action taken at the Fort Worth coDven-
tion, met in Denver last Tuesday after
noon and after long discussion decided
that owing 10 the conflicting conditions
that prevailed throughout the West,
any leasing law would have to be 80
made that it could be used where
wanted, and where it was not wanted it
could be left alone. The policy finally
adopted by the committee was to pre-
pare bill along the line Of local option,
allowing the stockmen Of each county
to decide for themselves. before any law
should become operative. 1t was the
opinion of the committee that such a
law could be prepared, and when it ad-
journed it was with the understanding
that the members Of the committee
would work along that line. and the
next meeting to be held in Salt Lake in
August will formulate a measure to be
presented to the stockman for approval.

Retiring From Business.

Mrs. S. NJ. Miller, for many years the
popular hostess Of the Miller house, will
retire from active business next Mon
dav. having leased her hotel and fur
nishings to c. T. Bowman of Hayden,
Colo.
Poor health prompted Mrs. Miller to
this step, but we are glad to announce
that she will continue to reside in our
midst.
The new manager and lessee comes to
Meeker accompanied by the highest
recommendations as to business integ-
rity and ability to run a hotel success
fully. He ran the Hayden hotel for a
number Of years, where he gained an
enviable reputation in his line.
Mr.. Baxman will take possession OF
his new place on next Monday, but will
not open for business till May 1st.
The Miller house will be thoroughly
renovated before the opening date, and
other improvements will be made as
fast as Mr.. Bowman can get to them.

The Denver Stockman is wrong when
it accuses Senator Taylor, and others
whom it designates rs politicians, as
espousfng the cause of tile ranch and
cattlemen for the political benefits to be
derived therefrom. When Mr.. Taylor
appeared in the Denver convention he
was representing the true sentiments Of
his constituents. And then there were
others who. like Senator Taylor, did
not individually own many cattle,
but they were sent there to oppose the
leasing scheme. We don't believe, as
the Stockman asserts, that the Denver
convention was gotten up BY the politi-
clans. So far as Rio Blanco and Routt
counties were concerned, we are posi-
tive on this point. The politicians had
nothing to do with it.

Resolved. That we denounce all pro-
posed lease laws as un-American and
contrary to the interest and develop
ment of our state, and earnestly protest
against the enactment of any national
law for the leasing of the public domain,
thereby depriving resident farmers and
homeseekers from enjoying the privi-
leges that our government has given to
them for several generations and plague
ing the people with the evils above set
forth.
Resolved, That the same objection
must prevail against the cesson Of the
public domain by the general govern
ment to the state, against which we
earnestly protest; and be 1t further
Resolved. That this convention take
such further action as will procure the
dissemination of that protest and the
reasons therefor throughout the terri
tory affected, and request the immediate
&C. operation of its inhabitants; that
these resolutions be published in all
state and local papers and that copy
be delivered to each member Of the
congress Of the United States; and we
hereby invite the earnest cooperation
of all stock growers in the Western
states aud territories.
After adopting the resolutions the
convention resolved itself into a meet
ing from which evolved the Western
Range Stock Growers association with
full roster of officers.

WHEN we remember Mr.. La FOliette'S
supreme love for the pureSt honesty, and
his scorn of anything that would even
temporarily defect the sensitive needle
of motive from the pole of perfect honor,
we cannot conceive of him as STOPPING to
anything like wire pulling or an under
handed trade in politics. Yet there IS SO
much evidence in the present apparent
state of political facts that it has made
some men pause. Senator Spooner has
served the commonwealth so well, and
has given it such proud position among
the states, that anything which seems to
imperil his position will be met with
quick resentment.
Senator Whitehead while he is repre-
sentative of all the party reforms, and
has shown his wisdom in legislation by
what he has done for equitable taxation,
is fortunately free from all these factlonal
complications. There are no old time
antagOnisms to be remembered against
him, no pension business to stir the
heart of the old soldiers; a clean, true,
pure minded man, who has the interests
of the people at heart, as thoroughly as
any man can.
Our endorsement of the candidacy of
Mr.. Whitehead is not sectional, he has
strong admirers and friends throughout
all the state, but there is a sectional ele-
ment in it, the men of the First District
will not be likely to forget. The time
is ripe for this district to be represented
on the state ticket, and having a candi
date in every way equal to any in the
race they should make the most of their
opportunity. Brodhead Independent.

"A disastrous ire wiped out the main

ton, eight miles west of Madison, Tues
day night, entailing loss variously es-
timated between $4,000 and $4,000
The fire originated in the -four and feed

his way to Germany, and two blocks be-
tween that building and the railroad
depot were burned, about a score of
buildings going UP in smoke. There was
no fire protection in the village and I'M
der the pressure Of quite a breeze the
flames spread rapidly. A call for aid
was sent to the Madison fire department
shortly after o'clock in the evening
and the engine and hose cart were hasti-
ly placed on train at West Madison
and taken to the burning village, &C
companied by score or more of firemen.
