More Wisdom.
Next the little bumyrag takes up the
subject of the Medicine Bow reserve,
which will probably be established Tor
the benefit of the people of this state.
Here are its sapient conclusions:
There is a plan for another large
forest reservation in the Medicine Bow
range west Of the city and it does not
require a very farseeing eye to under
stand that the Union Pacific company
will reap most of the benefit if the
reservation is made. 1t cannot be
made without the government con-
demning the Union Pacific lands. and
thus the company will be enabled to eX-
change a lot more of land practically
worthless for certificates emitting
them to the choice of government
lands.
The land sharks are constantly
watching for plans to gobble up the
public domain which should be reserv.
ed for actual settlers and this reser-
walton scheme is one of the neatest
and apparently the least offensive that
serve their purpose"
The Proposed Reserve.
The proposed reserve will extend
from Elk mountain clear into Colorado
an immense territory Of fine forest.
The twenty mile limit of the Union Pa
clic land that will be included in the
reserve will be insignificant, almost in
tinetesimal compared to the vast do
main the reserve will set aside. Be
sides. most of the railroad land thus
included has been sold already and the
Union Pacific has very little. if any
interest at all. in the proposed re-
serve.
The little bumyrag speaks of con
domination of lands. There is really
no such thing. The lands within the
limits of a forest reserve are closed
to settlers. Persons already there are
il they choose and are given the privi-
lege of taking lieu lands elsewhere.
But they are not compelled to do so

Facts In the Case.

The facts about the Grow creek re-
serve are these: The reserve con-
tains 2h townships. Or IS sections.
Every alternate section originally went
to the Union Pacific Railroad company.
That is to say. the Union Pacific at one
time owned A sections. not "a as the
little bumyrag says. Every section of
this land has beer sold and is now In
the hands of the settlers. The Union
Pacific has no land interests in the
Crow creek reserve.
Concerning certificates, just a very
little investigation would have inform
ed the little bumyrag that the govern
ment does not issue certificates at all.
What is called lieu land scrip comes
out OF this condition: A man who
owns a tract of land in a forest reserve
may convey his title to the govern
ment, with the end on view of taking

John Kirkpatrick Sparrow.

John Kirkpatrick Sparrow died on the
evening of the 7th at the home of his
brother, Mr.. II. G. Sparrow, just south
of this city, aged twenty-one years. He
was taken ill with pneumonia several
eeks ago, but had improved and was
thought to be out of danger until few
days before, when complica tions set in
and he grew rapidly worse. His mother,
whose home is in Davidson, North Caro-
lima, attended his bedside during his
illness, watching over him with moth
er's love and care, and was with him
when the final summons came and his
spirit left it's pain -racked body.
Deceased had lived in Columbia but a
comparatively short time, but those who
knew him, and the very many friends of
his brother, will be sincerely grieved to
learn of his untimely death. But es-
pecially to the bereaved mother, the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire COM
muuity is extended.
The funeral services were conducted at
the residence Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock by Rev. Baker p Lee, and the in
terment was in Rose Hill cemetery. The
pail bearers were Messrs. Meade Frierson
IL. o. Fulton, Joe Anderson, Cheairs
Mayes, William Evans and DR.. Robert
Pillow.
