President Roosevelt is being besieged
daily by cattle companies in the West
who seek n delay of the order of the
secretary of the interior 10 remove
fences from public lands. Some time
ago the fiat went forth that fences sur
rounding public grazing lands must
come down ON the LIST of April. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been i%mportuned
by large cattle owners who have had
these lands in their possession to en-
tend the time. and has acceded to
their requests to the eXtent of delay
ing action two months. Delegate Ito-
dey of New Mexico saw the President
and secured from him the promise that
the time should be extended this long.
President Roosevelt intimated that he
might decide 10 extent 1t II year. He
has been strongly urged to do this. and
at present has the matter under cOnsid-
Grafton. Mr. Mulvane, Republican ma
tional committeeman from Kansas. is
in Washington in the interests of the
cattle growers who hold several hun
dred thousand acres of public and in
southeastern New Mexico and the strip
known as the Beall's grant. These
cattle men claim they are under con
tract to fill n number of orders in June.
and If the fences ON their grazing lands
are removed previous to this time there
will he great confusion in getting these
sale herds together. Delegate ROdey
is also working in behalf of these cattle
men, and says he hopes to prevail up
on the President TO have the enforce
ment of the order calling for the re-
mOval of the fences postponed for a
year.

irrigated lands above. All the water
for the region from the Dolores
river, and the bitches are controlled
by the MonteZuma Ditch Company.
This company annually disposes of
practically all the water it can get from
the river to white settlers above the
reservation. If the company is to be
called upon to supply the Indians it
