The remedy. thinks Mr.. Irish, will
have to be tn" same one that has been
so successfully employed by Australia
and by Texas. The lands must be lcas-
ed. The Australian ranges were at
one time reduced to the condition in
which ours are today. The colonial
government called a meeting OF stock
men and devised a system OF leasing.
The ranges have been restored to their
original carrying capacity. Texas has
had exactly the same experience. Colo,
RADIO, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Utah
and Wyoming lease their state lands
now and draw an income from them of
over a million dollars a year. The
federal government is being urged to
adopt the same plan. The principal pc.
titioners in the Ease are the National

LAND LEASING.

The unanimous adoption OF a resolu-
ton favoring the leasing Of the public
range by the Wyoming Stockgrowers
association shows the feeling of cattle
men of this state almost generally.
They have awakened to a full realiza-
ton Of the necessity OF having some
sort Of title to the lands upon which
they range their stock. II they al Sc
cure q leasehold for a term Of years,
then individual owners can with safe
ty invest money in the improvement
Of their range by sowing seed. or by
giving 1t needed rest. A we'll known
stockman of Central Wyoming said to
the writer recently that cattlemen
could well afford to pay from n to
two cents per acre per annum for the
privilege Of having exclusive control
of the public domain. OF course any
lease law should have ample restric-
tive provisions making it impossible
for large owner to get any advantage
over small owners. The applicant for
public land should be required to show
that he Is interested in the business of
stockraising and that the lands applied
for are needed for the successful con-
duct of his business. No person, no
matter how many cattle or sheep he
may own, should be given above a
fixed maximum, and that maximum
should be in proportion to the amount
Of decided land owned by the claimant.
In this connection the following art
icle from the Chicago Tribune will be
Of interest to the people Of Wyoming.
People have been asking lately
why meat prices are SO high. They

THE FINDING OF HONEY.
Question That Has Engaged the
Attention OF Learned Jurists
for N Long Time.

Writing on laws relating so the find
ing of honey, R. d. Fisher in Clean
1ngs says: There was q sort of code
among bee-hunters in the earlier DAYS
OF this country, and Is said to have
been generally observed. It was to
the effect that when a bee tree was
located and marked with the initials
OF the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed. But
this code did not hold good in law,
especially against those holding an IN
tereSt in the Land.
"1f a person finds a bee-tree contain
Ing honey, OF hive of bees on an
others land, and marks 1t at once with
his initials, he does not reclaim the
bees and vest the exclusive property OF
the bees or honey in himself. as
against one of the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor docs he acquire
the right TO bring in the courts the
usual action of trespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree and car
rying away the bees and honey" SAYS
the New York supreme court in the
case of Gillet VS.. Mason.
An early and noted case is reported
in (Root) Conn. Goodwin sued Mer-
rill for cutting down tree in the
forest that had swarm of bees in it.,
and taking the honey which he Good
VIM had previously discovered. Mer-
rill plead that said bees were a swarm
from his hive; that he had frequent
~ lined them to near said tree, and
that said bees were his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods, and had a good right
TO take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff judgment Of 80 shilings dam
age.
The supreme court reversed this
judgment, and said: "A mans find
ing bees in a tree standing upon an
other mans land gives him no right
either TO the tree or bees; and a
swarm of bees going from a hive. If
they can be followed and known, are
not lost to the owner, but may be re-
claimed"
AS early as 1904 the New Hampshire
supreme court held that one who finds
a swarm of bees in tree on another's
land, marks the tree with his initials.
and notifies the land owner, cannot
maintain trover against the land own
er for the bees and honey which he
obtained and converted to his own use
by telling the tree.

strongest and most vigorous pullets

Mrs Cochrane confesses that she

Then she remembered the telephone,

Force answered her message. All that

and as the questioning passengers and

he could only repeat: ''It was close

Pretty soon half hysterical woman
came down the track. 1t was Mrs.

OF the danger. The crew and passen-

snaiIs Delight I'm Music.

Complete airs, he points out, have been

WOMAN SAVES TRAIN
Her Cool Nerve at a Trying Moment

Telephone and n Man with q
BieycIe-How She Found
the Danger.

A San Rafael (Cal) correspondent
writes that the cool nerve Of plucky
woman and the speed of man riding
for life on a bicycle was all that saved
the Ukiah express, bound from UkiAh
to Tiburon on the line of the Califor-
MIA Northwestern railway, from de-
struction late the other afternoon.
Mrs. James Cochrane, wife Of q we'll
known San Rafael attorney, was the
heroine of the incident, and to her
courage scores of passengers on the
endangered train owe their lives.
On that afternoon a storm of wind
swept over San Rafael. Near the OUT
skirts of town and close to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Cochrane q huge euca-
iyptus tree, fully 100 feet In height
and two feet in diameter inits thickest
part was blown over so that the heavy
portion of its trunk lay squarely across
the tracks of the California North
western railway. Shortly after Eve
O'Clock Mrs. Cochrane, with team OF
horses, started on a drive into the
country. She passed close to the track
IN her carriage and saw the big tree
lying across the rails. Suddenly the
thought struck her that the Ukiah ex-
press was about due. She looked at
her watch and it read $40 o'clock. A
feeling of dread passed over her as she
realized that the quick moving train
with it's long string of passenger cars
was due at Sis o'clock.
Hurriedly jumping from her car
rage, she ran down the track, hoping
to flag the train. Then the full peril
OF the situation dawned upon her. The
tree had fallen just at the end of
curve, which wound itself about tall
hill. At the beginning of the curve the
track emerged from tunnel, and il
was evident that the engineer in his
