Teud Exists In Wyoming.

Wyoming has 35,ooO,000 acres OF
good grazing lands. There are about
1000 900 cattle and 100000 sheep in
the state Between the cattle men
and sheep men exists a feud that not
infrequently leads to murder. Sheep
as you may or may not know, feed IN
so close order that when a flock has
fed over a range, not a spear or grass
remains. Cattle browse at random
and leave behind more than they eat,
so that the range may provide susie
nance for two or three herds, one fol-
lowing the other.

r1lipinos MAX. Good servants.

An army officer who recently return
ed from our Pacific possessions says:
"The Filipinos, whatever may be their
faults, make the best servants in the
world, IL youNc can cure them Of petty
thievery. Overcome that, and you have
an ideal servant At home here We
are confronted everlastingly by the
servant-glrl proposition. Bring the
Filipino men here and the servant girl
will be dead issue. The men are
small, active and not afraid Of work.
They could be trained to do general
homework, just as the Chinese do out
on the Pacific coast" .

CONTROL OF WATER
SAYS 1T SHOULD BE NATIONAL.
President Thus Expresses Himself to
Western Members-Thinks Federal
Control Essential to Success-Sena-
tor Hansbrouqh's Opinion.

Washington. Mach 31-President
Roosevelt, in Il conference with Scna-
tor HhnSbrough. Representatives Met
calf of California. Moody of Oregon
and Reeder of Kansas. saturday eX-
pressed strong opposition TO the feature
Of the general irrigation bill now pend
ing in the House providing for state
control of the appropriation, distribu-
ton and use of water from irrigation
works to be constructed under the pro
visions of the proposed law. The Pres
ident stated that he believed federal
control should govern entirely and that
federal supervision will be essential
to the success of national aid to rrig;-
ton.
Senator HanSbrough told the Presi-
dent that he was originally opposed to
state control. but after hearing q full
discussion of the question in the meet
lngS held by western members when
the bill was fl:lmed. he came to the
conclusion that it was a proper pro-
vision. He was satisfied that local con
troll would prevail even if the section
in question We're stricken from the bill.
because Congress had given assent to
constitutional provisions granting state
control of waters when the states
were admitted from territories. Con
gresS cannot take out of the cOnstitu-
ton what it put in it, therefore fed
eral control of waters cannot be as
sTred by act of Congress.
Speaking of the conference Represen-
tative Mondell who has charge of the
bill in the House, said:
''Therc is not a provision In the sec
ton of the bill which provided for
state control of waters that was not
suggested by the Presidents message.
That portion of the section which di-
rects the Secretary of the Interior to
proceed under state laws is in har
mony with the Presidents views as
expressed in his message. and is abso-
lutely necessary. for without this pro-
vision the Secretary of the Interior
would be powerless to act, inasmucn
us there are no federal irrigation laws.
If this section We're struck out, it
would leave the bill imperative. The
opposition to it comes from those who
wish to nationaliZc irrigation, and en-
tirely change the character of the leg
islation proposed and agreed upon by
western members. If the measure
passes the House it will be with the
provision for state control included
