The old gentleman in question is tn

has a son whom he wished to train W
in his fathers business. But the boy
was set upon leaving home and seeing

LAWS TO BE REVISED
Resident Roosevelt Determined to
Save Public Lands.
Commission Appointed to Determine
q What Ground There Is for Diver
sence In Opinion Regarding
Repeal of Statutes.

President Roosevelt has appointed a
commission, which includes Commits
sioner William A. Richards, of the gen.
sral land office, Mr.. F. H. Newell, chief
engineer of the United States reclama-
tion land service, and Prof. Clifford
Pinchot, to consider in detail all the land
laws of the United States and determine
what ground there is for the wide diver
gence of opinion concerning the repeal
of the present laws and the need OF
prompt consideration by the government
Of the questions involved.
This is regarded as an important step
in advance and the appointments have
been most heartily commended. The
powers of the commission have been
made almost unlimited, as far as the
character of the investigation will per-
nit. 1t is the determination of the pres
ident to permit nothing to interfere With
a careful and exhaustive investigation
of this question: which has been more
or less uppermost in the interior de-
partment for many years The diversity
of laws relating to the public lands and
the peculiar and distinct conditions in
different sections of the country, maxim g
laws beneficial in some sections hard
ships in others, have caused an urgent
necessity for some codification of the
statutes now on the books and general
Encouragement to fit the conditions.
The commission has been requested to
report upon the effect and condition OF
all the present land laws, and especially
what changes in organization, laws, dis
posal and settlement would be the great
est benefit to the entire mass of presen,
and prospective land holders. The de-
sire of the president first is to effect the
largest practicable disposition of pub
lie lands to actual settlers who will builc
permanent homes on their holdings
second, to secure in perpetuity the fulles
and most complete use of public lands
and, third, to make such other sugges
tions and recommendations as the ques
lions that come up in the consideration
of these two problems may suggest. Tht
commission is authorized to avail itsel
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1903-12-31

OF every means to obtain the information
it desires. 1t is charged with full and
free examination of all records of the
government and of all the executive de-
partments, especially the records and
papers of the department Of justice, the
general land Office and its branches, the
reclamation service and the bureau of
forestry.
Commissioner Richards. who will be
chairman of the commission, is probably
one of the best. equipped men in the
country to deal with questions relating
to the land laws. He is one of the west
ern pioneers, and has had wide expe-
rience as an official Of the government in
the execution and administration of the
land laws. AS surveyor general of the
land Office for Wyoming and as state sur
yeyor and land officer both in Wyoming,
Colorado and California, as governor Of
Wyoming and as assistant commissioner
and finally commissioner of the general
land office, his experience is such that
he cannot but be one of the most val
liable men in the country for the posi-
ton. Gov Richards is at present in Cali
fornia, attending at the bedside of his
sick daughter. 1t is not probable that
he will be able to come east until after
the first of January.
Mr.. F. H. Newell, the second member
of the commission, has given many years
to the study and development of the ir-
rigation problem, and has been particu-
larly interested in the development and
cultivation of the vast tracts of arid
lands in the western country. His
familiarity with the conditions as they
exist and Of the land laws is unques-
toned, and his ability as an engineer
makes him an aid Of more than or
binary value to his associates on the
board.
Prof. Pinchot, chief Of the bureau Of
forestry of the department of agricul-
ture, is a national authority on timber
and timber lands. He has been an in
valuable aid to the officers of the land
Office in the settlement of questions aris-
ing In the timber lands, and is familiar
with all the land laws and their effect.

Tuesday by the United States grand jury, the indictment being based up- on alleged official acts while he was serving as deputy collector of internal revenue for this district.
 MT. Cullom does rot appear to be perturbed by the circumstance. He says he is confident of an acquittal for he is equally confident that he has committed no offense against the gov ernment. His confidence is shared by his many friends here. The sentiment of the community is with MT. Cullom in this affair.
 In some of the reports of the affair which were sent out from Prescott it was stated that MT. Cullom would re- sign his position as clerk of the su- preme court. Speaking of that matter yesterday he said he had said nothing that could be construed as a purpose to resign and moreover he had no in tention of resignirg; that in fact there was no reason why he should do so.

 The office force worked hard all day yesterday and til late hour last night to complete these arrangements and get everything in proper order. For the first time in three months the of flee force will now be able to draw a full breath without fear of its being cut\ off by some new duty rising up and staring them in the face. But they will still have enough to occupy their attention and the office will be kept open as usual every day so that contracts that have net yet been finally returned may be received and checked up on the duplicate maps as fast as possible.
 Mir. Fowler has by wire arranged to meet F. H. Newell and Arthur P. Davis Monday. The report will be

submitted to their inspection and if their recommendation is secured, a thing of which it is safe to say there can be no doubt, the next step will be to secure the approval of Mir. Wal colt whose whereabouts will be learned by MT. Fowler when he reaches Dem yer. And after the approval of MT. Walcott it can be hoped at least thas MT. Fowler will be recommended to appear at once before the secretary of the interior with the report for final action. Whether this will be in week or in two months can only 3e guessed a but there is one thing sure and that is that MT. Fowler will miss no trains in carrying out Recommendations as fast as possible. Time is money in this instance and gold standard at that and nobody realizes it more than the presi- dent of the association.
