ton. What the ranchman want is
some place neal his home ranch for
pasture and the hills answer his pur-
pose as well or better than the level
land fit for cultivation. The mar who
owns 100 head OF stock cannot afford
to use the open range, and is rapidly
becoming aware of that fact. 1t is only
the mar who has the large herds that
can AFFORD to put wagons and men on
the open range to care for his stock. II
the small ranchman can lease say 100
to 800 acres adjacent to his ranch and
fences it in, he can care for his stock
without such an outlay. thus placing
him on the same footing as the large
owners.
Another thing to be taken into CON
sideration in relation to the leasing Of
the state lands is the question of in
come. Last year the income from this
source alone was ST. .425. or about 81
for every man, woman and child in the
state. Averaging five to the family, to
abolish the system OF leasing would add
about s. to the taxes of each and every
family in the stare. When this fact is
considered we think that the few who
are now opposed to the measure will
change their mind as to the advisable
ty of leasing state lands.

AT an evening party a short time

Transcript. Il was introduced by the
hostess to a charming young woman
from the west, who, after praising the
New England climate, the park sys-
ten and our Puritan ancestors, said
that she had been longing to reach
Boston in order to ask a few questions
fittingly and intelligently answered
here. | modestly advised her first to
try Cambridge. but with an almost i'm
perceptible' shrug of her shoulders she
fastened her beautiful eyes on mine and
eagerly asked: What do you think of
Dom Paul and lave you read Kipling's
absent Minded Beggar?" Do you
know that one of those African kings
sleeps in a folding bed which came from
Chicago? Isn't it too bad that Butler
has lost his chance for a peerage? How
queer to call Methuen "Methven," and
isn't it cruel for the Beers to offer
$4,000 for Cecil Rhodes, dead or alive,
when. you know, they may only have
50 in the treasury? What about seiz-
ing Delagoa bay? Is flour, in your
opinion, contraband of war, and do
you not think Mr.. Hay too young to
be sent as your representative to the
Transvaal. But, then, Colonel Lau-
rens was sent when only &c by General
Washington to France in 1871 as our
special minister, and was not his mis-
sion very successful? He died later IN,
with his face to the foe, a soldiers
death-but, oh, the unspeakable hor-
rors of war! Are you a member of the
American Peace society, or are you an
anti-imperialist? Do you discounten-
ance the use of dumdum bullets, and
what do you think of those lyddite
shells? Isn't "Bobs" a funny name for
a lord, and do you believe Disraeli said
the present right honorable colonial
secretary wore his monocle like a gen
tleman? Papa says General Joubert
is like Stonewall Jackson. Perhaps
"Bobs' is that style. Doesn't his march
about Dom Paul? I'm really dying to

coffee and smokes too much, doesn't he?

THE LEASING PROBLEM.

A Carbon county ranchman, writing
from Saratoga to the Cheyenne Sun
Leader, sizes up the leasing problem as
follows:
The Carbon County Woolgrowers'
association is certainly a most consist
ent body and as such takes first rank.
Last week at a full meeting held at
Rawlins the association came square
out and by resolution endorses the pro-
test against leasing lands. There were
forty-four members present and forty
two of them were IN the original pro-
test. The forty-two men are owners or
hold leases of large tracts of grazing
lands in Carbon county. One of the
firms purchased not long & 10000
acres from the Union Pacific and has
under lease 10000 acres from the same
company. Another member has sc, 900
acres Of these railroad lands. Still an
other has rs, 600 acres, and in fact all
ganization are well fixed as regards
range for their flocks. Now some peo-
pie might be uncharitable enough to
make the charge that these flock
masters, having all the land they can
use, are anxious to prevent others in
Carbon county from securing ranges for
their sheep. Such a charge would not
be strictly true, if it were made. The
facts are that the members of this as
ISOLATION have divided up among them
selves a strip consisting Of each-alter-
nate section of railroad land. in that
county, forty miles wide and eighty
miles long. This gives them the use of
the government sections lying between.
They want no interference. This is the
real business reason which induced the
individuals in the first place to sign the
protest and to unanimously endorse
their W protest in their meeting last
week. In Carbon county there are
hundreds of small ranchmen who are
anxious to secure additional lands by
lease and it is safe to say that they out
number the Woolgrowers' association
ten to one. These small ranchmen will
be heard from later, in a petition ad-
dressed to our members of ongre
asking that lands be seucred by the
state for leasing purposes"
Bulletin has the following sensible edi-
torial:
The editor of the Voice is evidently
not satisfied with the applause won b.
the editor Of the Bulletin in his debut
on the editorial stage last week. 1t is
evident that the audience is composed
almost entirely of those who are in IA
vor of land leasing, and the majority
are willing to laugh heartily at the
comedian who is trying to champion
the cause OF the big outfits and prevent
the leasing of land to the small stock
men and ranchmen, thereby freezing
them out.
The fact that the average number OF
acres leased to any one party is less
than 700, goes to show that 1t is the
small stockman who wants to lease the
land and not the big outfits as the
editor of the Voice would have us
believe. In all our conversation with
ranchmen upon the subject, and we
have talked with a number, most of
whom were men who own from 100 to
GAO acres Of land, mot n of them were
opposed to the leasing OF the state
land. A large part Of the land leased

day, every member being pres
ent except Weed. of Logan coun-
ty, who was kept away by his
train being delayed. Chairman
Bartlett was present and called
the meeting to order, and r. 3.
Wallace was present as secretary.
The committee endorsed the
date fixed by the meeting of the
other fellows and thus the call is
made legal and a split is averted.
The fact that all members of the
com mittee attended this latter
meeting is evidence enough that
they did not consider their
previous action legal. This

the different candidates can
fight it out for the nomination

There are others apparently
who do not understand the tariff
bill and the editor of the Sentinel
is one of them. and if he can get
anyone else to see it his way he
will do SO no doubt, but he can t
fool the people all the time even
if he does fool them a part of the
time. Mr.. Thorval Olson our
cigar manufacturer (he is a
democrat) says that filler tobac
co. that is the raw article as sold
by the grower and is un-
stemmed, costs about 35c per
pound at Porto Rico. The Ding
ley bill imposes a tariff of 35c
per pound on this tobacco which
is 100 per cent. The new bill
proposes a tariff of Is per cent
of this amount. certainly a big
reduction. and as we said two
weeks ago "a small tariff by
comparison. The editor of the
Sentinel may still have some diff
ticulty in comprehending this,
but we anticipate for our read
ers an easy understanding of sc

The japanese Minister of Fin
ance has solved a great mystery.
In 1898 a committee composed
of representatives of the Popo
cratic and "Silver Republican"
party went to Japan for the pur-
pose of reporting to the people
of the United States upon the
workings of the gold standard in
that country, but somehow their
report was never heard of. Now
the Japanese Minister of Fin
ance comes to the front with an
elaborate official report in which
he says the gold standard has
been a great advantage to all
classes in Japan, which fact may
account for the failure of the self
appointed commission Of Ameri-
can patriots to fine material with
which to report against the gold
standard.
