Supplies on Hand.

Attention is invited says Secretary
Root, Ito the fact that large quantities Of
valuable property, such as ships, lighters
ETC., horses and mules, wagons, harness,
clothing, equipage and ordnance, medical,
signal and engineer supplies, the cost Of
which is included in the foregoing state
ment. still remain on hand in the Philippine
Islands for use. Parts of these supplies are
already being reshipped to this country.
1T should also be observed that large
part of the expense during the past year
should not properly be treated as occasloned
by military operations In the Philippine Is
lands, for the reason that it consists of pay
and maintenance of troops whom we would
have had to pay and maintain, whether
they were in the Philippines or not, in order
to keep up the minimum number of regular
troops required by law safeguard
against future contingencies. The minimum
a which the regular army is required to be
maintained, by the act of February ?, 1901.
Is 1857 men, and the maximum is 100000
We have now less than 10000 in excess of
the minimum number The cost of that ex
cess only is properly to be treated as oc-
casioned by operations in the Philippines.

Present Scale Reduced.

The present scale of expense in the Phil
ippines Is of course greatly reduced from
that shown in the foregoing statement, be-
cause of the continuous reduction Of the
army, made possible by the restoration of
peaceful conditions Thus in the middle of
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901, there
were about 10000 American soldiers in the
islands. That number is reduced to
about 230G0. Orders have now been issued
for the return of the Sth, 18th, oath and 25th
Infantry, and a squadron of the 10th Cav
airy, and when these orders have been eX-
ecuted the number of American troops in
the Philippines will have been reduced 20
lS,O0D. For the past six months we have
been bringing troops home, as rapidly
we could do economically, by the use of
own own transports. Quarantine require
ments have caused some delay In the move
ment of transports, but We are bringing
the men home more rapidly than we can
provide accommodations for them, until
appropriations contained in the pending ap-
preparation bill for the support of the army
become available

Kansas W. Colorado.

The dofunny of the state of Kansas
in bringing action against the state of
Colorado for the waters of the Arkan-
sas will come up for hearing before the
United States supreme court on Feb
ruary 24th. The brief of the state of
Kansas vas filed this week The doc
ument covers 80 printed pages. 1t is
asserted that the diversion of the wat
ers of the Arkansas affects $500, 000
acres of and in Kansas worth 50,O00,000
dollars, aud that much Of this land is
owned by the state itself. These fig
ures, which really have no bearing up
on the case, look so large that they are
calculated to knock the entire bench
off its feet in the first round. Thus far
in the game the Jays are putting in
their heaviest licks by editing the as
sociated press dispatches in their fav-
or and if they hope to win by these tac
tics they may be disappointed when
the supreme court reverses them and
gives Colorado its constitutional rights.

Irrigation Congress in Sterling.

The chamber of commerce of Sterl-
ing has invited the governors of Col
orado, Nebraska and Wyoming to send
delegates to an irrigation congress to
be held in that town Wednesday and
Thursday, February % and p. The
governors of Colorado and Nebraska
have already accepted the invitation
and have appointed delegates; the gov
ernor of Wyoming will likely follow
suit. b. Beatty has been appointed as
a delegate from Sedgwick county.
The purpose of the convention is to
formulate some plan for the general
extension of irrigation in the territory
represented, and to take action on the
plan of government aid in the matter.
There is no doubt but that the conven-
tion will produce good results. and the
people of Sterling deserve great credit
for their enterprise in arranging for
the congress.

PROPOSES Drift Fences.

The river cattle drifted over into
this county again in the recent storms.
This is a great annoyance to the cattle
men of our county as these cattle eat
much feed on the range that is badly
needed for the cattle of the county
and then when the cattle are driven
back to their range on the river cattle
owned in the county are frequently
taken with them. These annoyances
annot be avoided however unless some
scheme can be cOntrived for securing Il
drift fence between this county and
the river. A cattle man owning a

Leasing the Public Lands.

A bill has been introduced in the
ing for the leasing of the public lands.
The subject has already received CON
siderable attention but hitherto the
objections to such a measure have been
urged with sufficient force to prevent
its adoption.
The main argument against the
lease system is that it encourages the
occupation of large tracts of public
land by corporations and individuals
who could not be readily dislodged by
the home seeker and that it was there
fore an obstacle in the way of the de-
velopment of the newer states.
But it is we'll known to all familiar
with western conditions that there are
large areas of unoccupied lands that
are not, aud probably never will be,
available for settlement under the
present land laws. 1t would appear to
be better that they should be brought
into some use rather than kept Of no
use at all. Further than that the open
range system, though it is vaunted by
some as the ideal system of equal
rights for ALL big or little, does as a
matter of fact lend itself very easily to
injustice and wrong which tends to
strife.
The difficulty is, as has been sug-
gested, to secure IA leasing system that
will not check settlement and that will
give the small stock owner Il chance
alongside of the big company. Posi-
bly, it is too soon to accomplish this at
the present time, and the general SEN
timent of the stock growers of the
west appears to be strongly in favor of
the open range. there are, however,
some very strong arguments in favor of
the leasing system, and these gain in
strength as the lands available for
private acquisition under the home
stead and other laws constantly dimin-
ish in area.-Colorado Spring Gazette.
