AGGRESSIONS OF CATTLEMEN
ILLEGAL FENCING OF THE PUBLIC

STRONG TRAMPLING UPON

THE WEAK.

Port Collins. Col. April pa great many
OF the cattlemen of the Far West have en-
5oyed the privilege Of free ranges for many
years that they find it hard to adjust Them
selves 10 changing conditions. They not only
show reluctance to give up an absolutely free
range, but they do not seem disposed TO share
and share alike with all of their fellow herds
men In this latter propensity they go so far as
to fence the public lands. contrary to law, and
10 keep their fences up in spite of the fact that
they violating the laws of the land and rob-
bling their fellow citizens of a common right
II Is the strong against the weak The larger
cattleman. TO begin with, perhaps owns in fee
simple a certain amount OF grazing land. This
is not sufficient fer His ambition TO become a
still larger cattleman. Adjoining or lying near

tracts Of railroad lands school lands. These
sections usually scattered but when the
catteman buys leases all he thinks he is
able 10 needs he proceeds TO fence the whole
assortment in in single Enclosure, regardless
OF the Intervening tracts of public land. He
appears 10 think that the legal possession of
one class OF land carries with 1t the right TO the
possession of another class. which he has no
legal right TO either by purchase or lease-that
is. that the legal possession OF decided or leased
lands gives him the right to fence in the public
domain, because it would be both nconvenient
and expensive TO fence all of his own land in
separate tracts. So the small cattleman who is
not able 10 buy lease a range or win not lend

In Colorado, Wyoming-in fact in all the
grazing sections Of the West-this thing is being
done with impuRity In some parts Of Northern
Colorado whole school districts are being de-
populated by reason OF the illegal fencing up of
the ranges. In some places the rapacity of the
land grabbers has been so extreme that they
have not even left grazing room along the
ancient and well established trails for the poor
emigrant, sailing westward In his prairie schoon-
er, feed his already attenuated team upon
A law to lease the public domain to cattlemen
would not help the matter. The small cattle
man would still be crowded out And the idea
OF leasing is altogether wrong, for, though vast
tracts may look bare and arid no seer however
good a prophet he may be, can foretell the
future trend and destiny OF American hus-
bandry, scientific otherwise. Leave the land
open and perfectly free until its ownership by
the bonafde settler shall be demanded. and until
IT'S fitness for home building shall have been
demonstrated.
