Cattle Growers convention at Denver
= few weeks ago, in passing resolutions
and petitioning the pr csidont TO cause
the suspension Of all prosecutions al
ready instituted against offenders in
cases Of unlawful fencing Of the gov
srnment land. So strong is the feel
ing against those who have thousands
OF acrss Of public domain under fence
that meetings have boon held in diff
fsrent localities, and long petitions
circulated and signed, requesting
that the ] Interior Department act
promptly and effectively in the re-
moval of all illegal fences.
There are numerous cases OF fraud
ulent homesteading, and the taking OF
lands under tho timbcr and stone
act. Others, bolder than tho rest,
have deliberately fenced mp large
tracts of public domain and have held
it, and are now holding 1t, at the
point Of rifle for their exclusive usa
There are several such cases through.
out the tate, one OF these being In
the southeastern corner Of Wyoming
and running over into Colorado,
where 1t is alleged that large tract
has been fenced and where range rid
ers are constantly on guard to pre-
vent small rauchmen from cutting
the fence or sncroscbing upon the
domain OF the land grabbsrs.

subject Of considerable interest. But
one thing is certain, the small ranch

long enough and it would not be sur

The Rocky Mountain News Of last
Friday, printed a very accurate map
OF northern Colorado, showing the
Poudre valley from Fort Collins up
through the North Park and on into
Wyoming. There is q strong fight
on for right OF way through this fer
tile section of country between the
Union Pacific and Burlington railways,
and at present each road has large
gangs OF surveyors iu the field and
before the sumaer is far advanced
not less than three, possibly four lines
OF railways will be pushing up through
Northern Colorado, all headed for
Wyoming. At least two of these
lines OF road, will be through Lari-
mer county and one of them up the
Poudre through the North Park,
thus furnishing an outlet direct east
and west to the farmer, the miner,
the stock raiser and every other per
son who may have anything to ship.
With such facilities the population
and business of this section can hard
ly be computed in dollars and cents.
Fort Collins, Larim,r county and all
of Northern Colorado certainly has n
glorious future, and it will be but q
question of time until it is ahead OF
every other section of Colorado Eft.

Dear Sir

Your favor of rcccn,
late received. heartily agree with
you on the fact that better railroad
facilities will advance your interests
very materially. Wouldyou, or some
one in your locality, undertake to
gather statistics in regard to the re-
sources, especially the natural, not
only in your own immediate town,
bnt throughout the North Park, CIV
ing the number of head Of cattle that
range there and the number shipped
each year. Also number of tons OF
hay cut. Let US know whether there
is any coal, veins of clay or any 9th
er matcria! that could be developed
l think there is no question that
either Middle Park or Routt coun ty
will have railroad very soon. II |
remember rightly, there is . high
range of mountains to cross from Fit.
Collins to your city which would ne
cessitate tunnel. You must have
the tonnage to encourage n railroad
to build into your district, and if
your people would get up this data,
| think it would be very beneficial to
you and we would use it to advance
your interest. You speak of the
Rio Grande railroad running from
Dillon to Muddy Pass. l will make
\ prophecy that railroad will be in
Routt county before the snow flies
next fall.
Yours very truly,

A Gift to Alsace-Lorraine.
INV the Associated Press.)

Berlin. June THE Imperial Chan
cellor Count Won Buelow, introduced
bill in the Reichstag today, abollshlng
the dictatorship paragraph in the Reichs-
land (Alsace- Lorraine) fundamental
laws After speaking of the necessity OF
the paragraph in the past, in conse-
quence of the uexpressed hope of Relcns-
landers that France would reconeuer the
provinces, the Chancellor said that En-
peror William and the Government, after
mature consideration, were now con-
WINGED that the extraordinary powers con-
ferred by the paragraph could be safely
dispensed with. It's abolition constituted
a recognition of the fact that thanks to
the strong position of the empire among
the powers, and thanks to the careful
work of the provincial government or the
ReichsIand 1t had been found possible
to reconcile the inhabitants of Alsace-
Lorraine to the new order of things and
to inspire them with full confidence in
their connection with the empire the
efforts of the older generation to effect
a separation would find no adherents in
the mass of the population, and the I'M
perial Government wished to requite
confidence with confidence. Germany,
never of her own free will. would ac-
quiesce to a fresh cession of the Reichs-
land, and he. the Chancellor. was con-
WINGED that Lorraine will accept
the gift now rendered, with the same
feeling of German loyalty that animated
the rest of Germany.
The Chancellor's speech was cheered
on both sides of the house.

Crowninshield Disapproves 1t.


Washington, June THE Navy De-
partment today gave out the following
statement concerning the court of inquiry
which Investigated the case of the Amer
lean officers arrested at Venice:
The court of inquiry recommends
trial by court martial of Lieutenant
John S. Doddridge. U. S. N; Captain
Robert N. Wynne, S. S. M. c., and AS.
sistant Surgeon Robert z. Ledhetter, U,
S. N, on the charge of unbeccming be-
havior in public and that no further ac-
ton be taken in the case of Naval Cadet
James G. Kress, U. S. N, and Private
Wielred Langley u. S. NJ. c., Admiral
Crowninshield has disapproved the opin-
ion and Recommendation of the court of
inquiry where it is adverse to the Off
GERS on the ground that the evidence is
not sufficient" There will be no further
proceedings in this case. The admiral
does not find that the italian court erred,
but that situated as the Chicago is, it Is
not possible to secure the evidence which
would justify the assembling of a court
martial.
