spsctive Of party affiliations. vote
against the said senators and repre-
sentatives or any that favor them in
future elections.
A committee on additional resolu-
tons submitted the following. which
wsre adopted unanimously:
Whereas, 1t appears that several
bills have been introduced in the con-
gress of the United States. proposing
to ceda the arid lands of the west to
the several states, or to lease the pub
lie lands with certain reservations, ap-
parently in favor Of the settlers, now,
Therefore, We, the citizens of NCrth-
western Colorado. in view OF the above
Icing called in convention at Steam
beat Springs, Routt county,
Resolve, That we oppose any law
changing the present land laws in any
way for the following reasons, to wit:
First-Because the present land laws
have been tried and have proved TO b.
the best system'of public land law de-
vised by any country in any age OF
the world, and have built up the w;st
as no other country has been built up.
Second-The reservation apparently
in favor CT the s:ttler homesteading, is
such as will hamper him and hinder
the settler to such an extent as to en-
tirely or nearly keep him away from
hinder him to such an extent as to
prevent him from improving the lands
as he would if not hampered.
Third-That the cattle conventions
and other stock meetings have been
dominated and controlled by the larger
syndicates and by delegates from the
state of Texas, which has not an acre
of land to- be affected by the proposed
changes. and do not represent the mass
Of the people, who are a unit against
I2ny charges in the present public land
laws.
Fourth-The leasing Of the lands will
place them under the control Of the
larger stockmen, and will cause much
thereof to be fenced, and will thus
drive off or destroy the game, because
they will be shut off from the draws
where they go to water, and will pre-
want and hinder them from migrating
to and from their summer and winter
ranges, and will in a short time en-
tirely exterminate them, while the
states have and are spending hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, to pre-
serve those not already destroyed.

A New York dispatch states that
no verdict ever rendered in a criminal
trial has attracted so much attention,
especially among lawyers, as that by
which Roland B. Molineux was found
guilty OF the murder Of Mrs. Kathrine
j. Adams. Lawyers and judges alike
are %astounded not only at the verdict
but the methods OF which it was OBJ
tanned. 1t is the general opinion
among these legal experts that Mo-
lineux is guilty, INIT it is also their
opinion that no satisfactory evidence
OF his guilt was brought out, and that
he was really convicted of a crime for
which he was not on trial, and had
not been indicted.

An example of what imperialism
means in our colonial dependencies
IL found in the action of General
Davis, military governor Of Puerto

ers of workinsmen for higher wages.

the same thing in Havana when the

William F. Cody buffalo Bid came
west as far as Cheyenne on No. 3 this
morning. He is on his way to his
ranch in the Big Horn country, where
he expects during the coming season
to see Il colony of Mormons located.
Apostle A. o. Woodruff, who may
with propriety be termed the coloni-
cation promoter of the Mormon
church, returned to Salt Lake last
week ready to report favorably on the
proposition to c~clonize the Big Horn
basin. The ~outpouring from Utah will
begin next spring, and it is cOnserva-
lively estimated that no less than g.
coo, and probably 5000 colonists will
go tc the NV land before fall sets in.
Apostle Woodruff is enthusiastic
over the scheme, and 80 are the fourt-
EN- others who undertook the Journey
Of exploration. They covered hundreds
of miles of territory in the blizzard
that had been raging over the country
for weeks, but aside from this the
trip was one of pleasure.
I'VE found the Big Horn basin a
country that surpassed all my expecta-
items" said Apostle Woodruff on his
way home. There are facilities for
thousands OF our people there, but the
main difficulty will be to get water
over the land. Even though the "Buf-
falo Bill canal is utilized, it will re-
quire a united effort on the part of the
colonists to get the land properly ir-
rigated. But the colony will be es-
tablished, and the people will work ur
a home, l am convinced.
I'm our travels we ran across a
great many interesting people, but
none more SO than Buffalo Bill. He
entertained us at his ranch, Eagles
Nest royalty. He related the story Of
his life very entertainingly and seems
to be very anxious to have Il colon
lists come into Wyoming. The mer
who were with me have had exper,
fence in pioneering, and | am indebt'
ed to them for valuable opinions"
Apostle Woodruff added that no de.
cision was reached as to how many
acres of land would be taken up, bu1
the number may be as high as $50,
900, under the Carey act. 1t is prob
able that three colonies will be estab.
lished, two on the Shoshone river ant
enc at Cody. 1t is in the latter that
the big Cody canal will be utilized.
This canal was promulgated, survey
ed and partially constructed by a com
pany at whose head YVES Buffalo Bill
But it seems they have not complied
with their agreement with the state
and they want settlers to prevent tn;
land being taken from them entirely
Apostle Woodruff will now take his
report to the first presidency, and it is
almost a foregone conclusion that that
body will receive it with favor and be
| guided by its recommendations.
