We present two letter from ranchmen
this week on the question Of land leas-
ing. Both are quite Interesting. The
one from the Snake river ranchman, cop
led from the Rawlins Republican, hand
les the question from the standpoint of
the small ranchman and does his sub
ject full justice. The one from the pen
of Mr.. Conness deals with the matter
from another standpoint, and he pres
ents what seems to us the only solution
Of the leasing of large amounts of lieu
lands, by the friends and relatives Of
some man interested in controlling all the
public land he can.
There is one significant feature to
this question, and that is, that in the
southern part Of this county, where
sheep have not yet gained u foothold,
there is no contention over the land
leasing question in fact no land leased.
This shows that it is only necessary
for small %ranchman to lease and where
he needs ii to protect him from being
eaten out by sheep.
As the matter now stands there seems
but one remedy to save the small ranch
MAJ from utter extinction-that of al
lowing him to lease "A small amount OF
land near his home. To that end the
state must have land to lease. The
small ranchman is the salvation Of the
country. Large men and large compa-
MES, controlling large amounts of lane
IL
of the public range, are detrimental to
to the good Of the country in that they
prevent its settlement by men Of small
m IN, who build homes and improve
che country.

coming a question of a terrible
struggle for the Survival of the
fittest," which means in this case
the strongest and richest. Let
the present rate of increase of
sheep in Wyoming continue a
few years with open range and a
man with one band of sheep or u
small ranchman will be eaten out
completely. 1t is hard enough
now to find a goodlambing ground.
The small ranchman unless, he
can lease a few sections, near by
will disappear, for he cannot raise
enough feed on a quarter section
or two to both summer and winter
| his stock. He must have some
summer range and unless he can
lease n few sections near by the
man with 10000 to 100, 900 sheep
will eat him out. When the
range was plenty it was different
but that day is past. To continue
the open range is to continue a
cat and dog fight between all the
parties interested which will get
more bitter rs the years go on,
Lease the land in small quanti-
ties to actual settlers, providing
against the present abuse of one
man or corporation getting too
much of it by the incorporation
in the leases of the passage ] have
suggested. 1t can't be done too
quickly. Give the small owners
a chance, we can trust the big
ones to take care of themselves,
and meanwhile reduce the state
taxes by half from the income
from lands leased at a reasonable
rate, obtain money for state irriga-
ton works and save the grasses OF
the open range which are the most
valuable asset of the state from
the destruction that is certain to
come under the present system.

A COW, a basket of eggs and
Walt Newlin played an interesting
role Mt the west end of tin canyon
alley last week. Walt had Just de-
cended from the pinnacle stately"
located ON the forward end of the
delivery wagon, and had started to
deliver an order for groceries,
when a good natured COW started
to investigate the contents of a
basket which contained eggs, u
dozen strong. When Walt return
ed the COW was choked SO badly
that she would have been black

peculiar color the eggs impaired.

an unsettled country than a dozen
well-to-do sheepmen. They can,
and do, drive out all ether classes
of stock and give the poor ranch
men the "horse- laugh" Many
poor ranchmen would be glad to
lease a section or two of land for
his mich COWS and not have to
guard the same with a shot gun.
We cannot have a worse state of
affairs. The sheepmen and open
range have kept u county back
twenty years. Let u try some
thing else-leasing or anything to
settle up the country. Encourage
people to locate permanently in
our county and then we will have
a large and prosperous community
instead of n prosperous few.
In the matter of taxation ranch
men with small holdings list all
their property and at cash value.
Dc those sheep barons, who are
clamoring for open range, do the
same. We opine not.
The state board has been very
charitable to those open range
howlers, and when the assessor
goes around the howlers are very
charitable to themselves. They
pay a less per cent of taxation on
their property thereon than any
class of business men in the state
and yet they plead with congress
to not cede any land to the state,
for fear we will have to pay a few
cents per acre rental to the state
government.
See No. 6 kick. we object to
the railroad company leasing their
land They would have congress
pass a law and send a standing
army to prevent the U. p. rail
way Co. from leasing or disposing
of their real estate until we, the
great open range monopoly, shall
have made all the money we want.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.

f
To the Rawlins Republican:
Kindly give space to the wall of
II Snake river ranchmen.
The writer was at the county
seat last week and saw a petition
being circulated in the interests
of the large sheepmen. Said pc
tition is addressed to senators, rep
resentative in congress and COVER
nor, and protests against all legis-
lation whereby the lands will be
coded to the state" and their rea-
sons for protesting are firstly and
soon up to about twenty-fithly.
"As long as there is public do
main in large areas it should be
open for settlement for all of our
citizens without giving special
privileges to any class"
How transparent their first OBJ
lection is, for an open range gives
to the sheepmen, not only a
special, but all the privileges of
the country to the detriment of
everybody else. They keep away
settlers, drive out ranchmen, ruin
the ranges and devastate Il country
worse than the Egyptian locust.
These one dozen sheepmen of
Rawlins have absolute control of
all the outside range of Carbon
county and yet they are clamor-
ing for more protection.
In their second roar they say
"if the public land is turned over
to the state it will be leased under
the present system i'll large areas
to wealthy individuals and cor
porations to the detriment of
small stock owners and ranch
men"
They are only afraid it wont be
leased, as they say, in large areas
to wealthy individuals, &c. They
know full well that if the state has
land to lease it will be leased to
small stock owners and ranchmen.
This is where the shoe pinches.
They are afraid of actual settlers.
They talk of Large areas being
owned by wealthy individuals and
corporations" when us n matter of
fact IL few dozen sheepmen have
absolute control of all the country
from snake river to the railroad,
north and south, and from the
North Platte river to Green river.
east aud west Those few sheep
men have got rich from this large
area of land and are now oircula-

There are thousands of sections
of land in the aforesaid large area
where an actual settler could 10.

Sensible View of Land Leasing,

The leasing of state land is assuming
considerable Importance Just at the
present time, The Lease system has
been a source Of great revenue to the
state. and, we believe, is the proper
method 10 dispose of the grazing lands
OF the state. Tho open range for large
herds ia Il thing Of the past, so hat the
only thing 10 do is to lease the necessary
range, However there should be great
care exercisou in leasing Every ranch
man should have the privilege of LEASING
at least 60 acres adjoining or near To
his own; after that if any lands are left,
they could be leased in larger tracts, At
any rate, large tracts ought not to be
leased until all those who want small
ones have secured them. State land
leasing is ono of the deepest questions
sifecting this state, AND it will require
the best thought Of all the people to SET.

Memphis Travelling Salesman Does a
Thriving Business Within Twen-

In conversation with a commercial Appeal
reporter, yesterday afternoon. Charles b.
Hofra, one of the most popular drummers
travelling out of Memphis. spoke of the great
strides made by the Memphis merchants in
covering a larger territory and selling goods
in competition with the largest cities of the
South and West, Mr.. Hoffa has just returned
from a most prosperous trip through Missis-
sippi, and reports the selling Of several large
bills within twenty-five miles of New
Orleans. He found the merchants all along
the line doing a fine business. and the
country generally In a prosperous condition.
He thinks the outlook for summer and fall
trade encouraging. The thing which struck
Mr.. Hoffa most forcibly was the gratifying
results met with in territory that has
hitherto been considered to belong to New
Orleans.
We take pleasure in Copying the
above, as it relates to a Grenada raised
young man. Mr.. Hoffa represents the
Memphis Queensware Company and Is
one of the most popular and energetic
travelling salesman on the road. Be-
sides his ''hustllng" business qualities
he is a courteous gentleman always.
