We're informed that the department

this will not be done until after the re-

Schley in the preparation of his case.

BIG LAND GRABBING
SCHEME IN WYOMING

Cheyenne, .Wyo., Aug. 10.-(Denver
News Special. al.)-Through n meeting of
prominent Casper men and state fed
eral officials in this city last Friday,
was brought to light n scheme of enor-
(mous proportions for the ceding to n
combination of corporations by the gov
ernment of an immense area OF oil
lands located in central Wyoming.
Six or seven months ago there was
presented to n number of prominent
citizens OF the central part of the state
n petition to the secretary of the IN
terior praying him to bring about in
Congress legislation for segregating as
' nil-bearng lands, under the oil placer
location act, certain oil lands located in
what Is known as the Salt Creek oil
belt located for the greater part In
Natrona county. Wyoming. The ren-
son why the land should be segregated,
given In the petition, was that the
Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Company
and others have expended large
amount Of capital for the development
of the fields, and that the land In qucs-
ton, while oil bearing, would not be
developed If allowed to remain In the
government domain, but If segregated
the company and persons in question
would Immediately develop It with the
capital which they have back of them.
and It will become n source of great in
come and great industry. The pc
tition is said to have been signed by
many of the most influential men in
the state, including Governor DcForcst
Richards and A. j. Cunningham, the
prominent banker of Casper.
The petition was taken by Nj. =,
Shannon of Carlisle. Pennsylvania,
secretary of the Pennsylvania OIL ana
Gas Company, to n number of con
gressmcn from eastern states and made
the basis of request for the secretary
of the interior to influence In Congress
the segregation of ii7,O00 acres of oil
lands In the Salt Creek belt, and 55O.-
600 acres of lands located In the ad-
toining county. The working of the
Mattcr was kept very quiet and did not
until n month ago come to the knowl-
edge of the Wyomingites who signed
the original petition. They were dumb

HAVEN & srouTs COTTON LETTER
lspeeial 10 News and observerl

Especial to News and Observer
New York. March Further weakness
developed in cotton prices, and while thy
decline has not been large, it has created
additional disbursement on the part
OF the longs and tends to render the mar
ket nervous and susceptible TO unfavora-
BILE rumors of any kind. The movement
of the cro2 IS now on Il moderate scale
but no immediate features are presented
in this respect which would furnish d
basis for definite conclusions as to the
amount OF cotton which remains TO be
marketed. The depressed tone and un-
favorable feeling about the immediate fu-
ture which has asserted itself in the
cotton manufacturing trade, is an element
In the situation and leads to an increas-
ed disposition TO ignore the statistical
position OF cotton and to render bears
more aggressive and bulls less disposed
to maintain their position for the time
being. There is some fear on the part
OF the trade as to the outcome of current
manipulation, and the attitude of the
large holders Of cotton at this and other
centres, whose position has apparently
been contradictory and ill-defined, is an
element IN the case. More or less has
been said about the possibility of manip-
ulation of the Nav delivery, but as yet
conditions are not favorable for any de-
velopments in that respect and it will
be impossible TO enlist outside support in
such a movement.
The general feeling in the trade, is one
of caution and the tendency TO impress
this upon outside clients necessarily has
more OF less effect in restricting the
trading, cutting off support and prevent
ing the market from having the apprecia-
bic rally on the shorts which would seem
to be the necessary consequence of the
