Can any proposition ever be-

plete and without prejudice, and
undoubtedly will have much
weight with the secretary in de-
termining the future regulations
and working plans for govern
ing the grazing of live stock up
on our forest reserves.
The present orders issued by
the department of the interior
closing the forest reserves
against sheep are simply an en-
forcement of the standing regu-
lations and we do not believe
in any way jeapordizes the
chances of our stockmen for Sc
curing permits for the ensuing
summer, provided that after full
ly investigating the subject and
giving due consideration to all
interests financially concerned
the department should decide to
allow grazing of live stock upon
our forest reserves under proper
restrictions.
The crop of grasses and forage
plants which grow upon the for
est reserve are a valuable re-
source which can only be har-
vested by grazing and if left un
touched they are certain ulti-
mately to catch on fire from
some cause and make uuman-
ageable a destructive forest fire
which otherwise might be con-
trolled and extinguished. The
greatest damage done to young
pines of our forests in the past
has been from fires, therefore,
the prevention and controlling
OF forest fires is the matter of
first Importance in the preserva-
tion and referestration of our re
serves. Our stockmen employ a
large force of men in caring for
their focks and heards, who are
ever present, and in the past
have rendered valuable assist
ance to the forest officers in ex-
tinguishing forest fires, the
slight damage which may have
been done in some limited areas
by grazing is more than offset
! by the beueft done in other sec.
tions. We feel confident that
the government will work out a
solution of this problem which
will be liberal and result benef-
cially to all interests of our diff
ferent counties. .--HolbrOok Ar

Probably the reason why the
British Commanders make such
blunders is because they are
overburdened with a string of
titles. 1t is Gen. Sir this, and
Gen. Lord that. In our great war
it was plain Ulissus Grant, Billy
Sherman and Phil Sheridan, but
they got there in a manner that
forms a striking contrast to the
ridiculous blunders of the brit
tish officers.

A Washington dispatch of the
23d inst, says: The sharp con-
troversy between the members
of the house and arid lands COM
mittee, has resulted in the sue
cess Of the friends Of the Sha-
froth- Newlands bill. If it went
to the extreme point of bitter
passage of words between chair
man Tongue and Representative
Wilson of Idaho, in which the
latter got the best Of it. At the
meeting of the committee today
the friends of the bill insisted
on the bill being reported. Ton
que had attempted to delay it
by appointing a subcommittee
to redraft it. This committee
was composed of two known op-
ponents of the bill and one
friend, Reeder of Kansas. Will
son protested against the re-
port being drafted by opponents,
and urged thatitshould be drawn
by the friends of the bill, under
parliamentary practices. Chair
man Tongue said that Wilson
sought to impugn the motives of
the members of the committee.
This was promptly denied by
Mr.. Wilson.

and brave dangers almost be-

THE RUSH TO OKLAHOMA.
Now, what has this to do par
ticularly with irrigation? Sim
ply that the opportunity for
home-building under the old or
der has disappeared. New,
cheap homes, within the means
of the hardy settler, are, under
favorable conditions, no longer
available. The opening here and
there of a strip of good land to
settlement, such as Oklahoma,
and the following rush of immi-
grafton, attests to this and also
to the fact that the country is
still full of home-seekers.-
Where, then, will they now turn?
HOMES FOR MILLIONS.
The new homes of the future
must be found on irrigated lands.
There are, according to accepted
government reports, some "A, :
100000 acres of rich western
land capable Of irrigation if the
western waters are properly
conserved. Irrigation is not an
experiment in the United States,
and there is no question raised
as to the feasibility of this re-
clamation, but irrigation devel-
opment in private way has
reached it's limits. But, since
under irrigation, yields are very
large, a few acres of this land
would generously support fam
lily, so that with the lands irri-
gated rural homes would be pro
vided for millions of citizens,
waiting and anxious to go upon
them.
AN ARID LAND RECLAMATION
FUND.
The advocates OF the national
irrigation policy urge that the
government should, where pos
sible, build storage reservoirs to
catch the flood waters of the
western streams and thus pro
vide for the reclamation of these
lands. The Newlands bill, now
before the House Irrigation Com.
mittee, and it's counterpart, the
Hansbrough bill, on the Senate
side, provide for the setting
aside of the proceeds from the
sale of public lands IN the arid
states and territories as an "arid
land reclamation fund.-" to be
used for building such reservoirs,
and that the cost of such con
struction shall be put upon the
land reclaimed by them, and the
land then offered tor sale by the
government, in small tracts, tC
bona fide settlers, upon easy
terms.
POPULAR LEGISLATION.
Who will come to the support
of such a policy?
More people and a greater di
versity of interests than sup
ported the homestead act, and
such Legislation would be ever
more popular than the free home
enactments. What other prop
osition is before the country
upon which labor and capital
can better unite and which they
can support, hand in hand, with
out clash or jealousy? Every
labor union in the United States
which has discussed the ques
ton has unanimously supported
it; every combination of capital,
of whatever sort, which has con.
sidered it, has given it unquali-
fed endorsement.
WESTERN HOMES-EASTERN
MARKETS.
The opening of theEast area
of western lands by irrigation
would provide cheap homes, Ger.
tain of returning the owners a
comfortable livelihood. It would
