WAR ON BEEF TRUST.
President Orders Catt1emen's Fences
 on Public Domain Torn Down.


 WASHINGTON, April 3o.-President Roosevelt is satisfied that if the illegal use of the public domain for pasturage can be stopped and the fences unlaW- fully raised by the cattle trust to 1n- close millions of acres of western pub lie lands can be torn down the power or the eastern beef trust will be neutral1z- ed and ede price of beef to the consulo- CT will inevitably fall. Double war will be begun on the beef trust on the one hand under the statutory limitations against conspiracy to control the sup ply of beef and on the other by enforc- ing compliance with the public land regulations which forbid cattlemen to fence in public reservations for pastur- ing purposes.
 This question was the all absorbing topic under consideration at the regu- lar session of the cabinet. The presi- dents determination to order down all fences which have been built for miles in the grazing states in which there are public reservations was clearly set forth in positive statement commun1- cated to Charles Goodnight of Denver, president of the Interstate Land and Cattle company, with headquarters in that city Prominent associates with him in this enterprise are R. c. Walker and R. S. Benson 4 letter was sent to the president of this company in an swer to an appeal made directly to the president for permission to retain pos session of a portion of land for which an i'll founded claim has been made with remarkable persistency.
 In compliance with one of the re quests in this appeal the date fixed for the evacuation of this area was extend ed from April 1 to July 1. It was also ordered that if these men were discoy- cred attempting to build fences on or to lease public lands the order granting the desired extension of time to vacate would be rescinded. The president decision was then embodied in a gener- l al order, which was sent to every land | agent in the west.

BEN BROWN.

Oh don't you remember our boyhood Ben Brown,
Our boyhood SO crowded with Joy?
The trusts hadn't swped evrything upon earth
And the world it looked good to boy
But now we wrinkled and old Ben Brown.
And our years arc close crowded with grief;
And long for the days when we carried our fupsA
And the trusts hadn't cornered our beef.
Out under the shagbark tree, Ben Brown
When all spindlin' and lean,
We used to sit down to MUNICH at our bread,
With its slabs of brown beef in between;
But the shagbark has long been cut down. Ben Brown
Its proud head was brought down to the dust
1t was cut down and up and has long been dream
IT was swiped by the chopping bowl trust
And the cabin of logs where we played, Ben Brown,
By the side of the painless wood,
Where once caught you kissing wee little maid
(You know you could never be good,
Has been carted away to the town, Ben Brown
All, back how ones memory rosms!
II was carted away by trust don't you know,
The trust of old ancestral homes.
And of course you remember the school, Ben Brovnl
Where we used to play tag with the girls,
And the sweet, babbng brook where took them b .
Where their toes tRinkled fairer than pearlsf
They have coaxed off the brook that loved, Ben Bn
And sometimes l ask as it iust?"
The prettest maids of those wonderful days
Are in hymeneal trust.
Then too in the days that are gone, Ben Brown,
The burden all fell upon dad;
He had to dig up for our board and our clothes,
And in fact, for just all that we had.
But the trust hadn't coppered the world Ben Brown
And the sky that so handsomely lowers
Was clear of the things that so brighten uS now,
And his life was a picnic to ours!
