THE FENCES MUST COME DOWN
Government Determined TO Remove ObStruC-
tlOnS from Public Land

WASHINGTON. July s.--The cattle
men have made final and wholly un-
successful effort to secure some modi-
fication of the Official order for the
removal of the fences from the public
ranges of the country. A delegation
of Western senators and congressman
appealed to the Secretary OF the In
terror yesterday to grant a further
extension OF time for the removal OF
the drift fences on the ranges. The
Secretary frankly and firmly declined
to further hold back the enforcement
of the order.
When the order was issued by the
President for the removal of the fen
ces in April the cattlemen urged a
delay. asserting that their herds were
being prepared for the spring markets
and that the enfocement Of the fence
removal order wauld work great
hardship and financial loss upon the
cattle owners. Upon that showing
the President. who understands the
condition on the ranges. agreed to
defer the enforcement of the order
until July /. The cattlemen took
advantage of the respite and made ev-
cry effort to secure the passage by
Congress of leasing bill, which
would give them authority to fence Up
something like 325, 100000 acres of
land.
Mr.. Hitchcock, Secretary of the In
terror, made an open, determined and
successful fight against the passage
of any leasing bill. He demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the committees
on public lands that any such enact
ment would serve as n practical bar
to the homesteading of these lands
and would also work hardship upon
the small cattle owners In the West.
The bills were all. defeated. Then
the cattle owners renewed their pres
sure upon the president for a further

he was one of the wealthiest miners In

been taken to pay the claims, although
every effort has been made to secure
an enforcement OF the Judgment.
The matter Is to be laid before the
Mexican congress, and 10 is not i'm

scind his order sanctioning the transfer

II Is set forth in a. memorial prepared
by the creditors that under the laws of
Mexico the title of a railroad can not
be transferred to other owners until
all outstanding legal claims or iudg-
ments against II have been paid, and
that the action OF President Diaz In
consenting to the transfer OF the Mon
terey L. Mexican Gulf to the Mexican
Central interests Is therefore Illegal
and not binding. What action con-
gress will take is not known. 1t Is
said that President Diaz proposes
either to annul his action in sanction
ing the transfer or TO force the Central
to keep its agreement.

urged that they be allowed to retain
their drift fences. These are fences
across the ranges at distances of from
twenty to thirty miles apart. which
serve as protection to the cattlemen
preventing their cattle from drifting
away from prescribed sections.
These fences were allowed to stand
without much objection by the govern
ment officials until the cattlemen be-
gan fencing across the ends and con-
Meeting the drift fences into enor-
nous pastures.
Settlers who attempted to remove
any of these fences. for the purpose OF
making roads. were frequently as
saulted and brutally treated by the
cowboys. Millions of acres on the
ranges are now fenced in and held by
cattlemen. without any warrant of
law. The President and the Secreta-
ry OF the Interior are determined that
these fences shall be removed.

and will be allowed to make provis-
ions for the protection of their herds.
But the ranges belong to the whole
people. and the settlers and small cat

rights"
Special agents of the land depart
