SSpeaking of the forest lieu land Sc
lections, The commissioner says there
were 5,504 Of them pending the first Of
last July and they involved an approx
innate area of 1858, 1876 acres. He re-
commends change in the law permit
ting the exchange of entries pending
within the reservation for unpatented
land on the outside saying:
while it is considered to be imprac-
ticable to require that only land of like
value shall be taken in exchange for
land in a reserve, 1t might be provided
that timber land should not be selected
in lieu Of such land, just as mineral
land Is now excepted from such selec-
tino."
Mr.. Ricards also recommends the
transfez of the control Of the forest
reserves to the department of agricul-
ture. There are at present SO reserves,
covering an area of 62,365,96 acres.
The report continues:
ut is a matter of first importance
that these reserves thus far established
should be supplemented by such addi-'
tional ones as are needed to form
comprehensive reserve, such as will In
sure full participation to the water and
timber supplies of both the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast regions. AS
yet neither of the two great ranges OF
these regions has a sufficient chain OF
timber protecting its entire length, nor
has the matter of reserving as many
sources of water supply as may be
needed in connection with the irriga-
ton movement been fully determined"
The report notes a marked increase
in the business over 1902. the total re-
ceipts being $11. .124. .423. an increase Of
$4.732,816. This increase over 1902 is
greater, 1t is stated, than the total re-
ceipts for the year 1899. The total
area of public lands appropriated dur
ing the year was 291. .1S4 .299 acres. an
increase of 3,335,764 acres over the
preceding year. About half this area
entered was entered under the home

NEW COLOKADO
ROAD PROJECTED

Denver, Oct 31.-The White Valley
Railroad Company has filed incorpora-
ton papers with the secretary of state
The capital stock of the road is $780,
900. with the privilege of increasing It
in the discretion of the officers OF the
road. The road is to be one of the
feeders for the new "Moffat" road.
The proposed route Of the road Is
from Rifle north. near the stage line.
to within three miles east of Meeker.
and thence east to Meeker. From
Meeker the road will run north and
east to Coal Creek valley and then
drop down Milk Creek valley to q
point on the Yampa river and there
connect with the Denver. Northwestern
Pacific road. This will be the main
line and will be about ninety miles
long. There is a branch up the White
River valley for seventy-five miles and
another down the same valley from
Meeker.
The officers OF the new road are as
follows: President. DIR. d. w. Aldrich

given his liberty. will constitute the
ground for arraigning the general on
contempt charges.
In efforts to convict the general OF
perjury in the civil court it is said
his aff1dayits to military documents
without knowledge of their contents
will be considered. While his friends
have maintained that he signed them.
they have insisted that 1t was without
intent to do wrong and under the pre-
sumption that they were correctly
made out by other officers.
Whether there will be further work
for the court martial is a doubtful
question. The oficials themselves are
non-committal when asked what they
intend doing with the other charges
against General Chase, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they are known to
have been filed by Colonels Kimball
and Grosc.
Judge Advocate Greer declared he
had not read them over and that he
would insist on five days in which to
investigate them before he would con-
sent to take them up before the court
The governor may approve or disap-
prove of the verdict. or he may change
the punishment, before making 1t pub
lie. In the meantime, it Is expected
that Attorney General Miller will be
asked to consider the document.
