In the struggle for grazing ground
for sheep the grass Of forest reserva-
tons looks very tempting to owners of
fiocks, ana were it not for the law in
question all such reservations would in
a short time be crowded, and the grass
and tender tree shoots would be eaten
down.
The object of maintaining a forest
reservation is not merely to protect
existing trees. but also to provide for
the growth Of new timber to take the
place of that which through age or 9TH

permitted on forest reservations they
would destroy the young trees before
they could attain sufficient strength to
withstand such attacks; and II this
were continued from year to year there
would be no reforestation.
The validity of the law having been
upheld by the court, disputes over its
Interpretation will cease. Men who try
to drive their sheep on to forest reser-

they show permission to do so, and the

SENATOR WARREN HITS HARD.

When Senator Fairbanks presented
the conference report on the omnibus
public building bill, Senator Warren
said the conferees on the part
of the senate had been put in a
humiliating position. He referred
to the 8 Of the word bun

after when anybody shall speak Of bad
faith or bunco. his mind would invol-
UNFAIRLY turn to the actions Of those
from another place abiding to the
house conferees. surrounding this
very measure that we have in such a
humiliating way surrendered today"
He said that the senator's on the
committee bad refused to allow pro-
visions for sites in the bill, because they
had agreed with the other committee
not to do SO, being assured that the
bill could not pass the house II new
sites were provided. Yet the bill came
back with many new sites and the SEN
ate conferees were told they must &C.
'cept them, or there would be no bill.
He referred to the Office Of the White
House Al that diminutive little wig
wan which cost SOS, 900; that wigwam,
or tepee whose front yard is a coal hole
and whose back yard is a site for a
decent building to which this wigwam
or tepee will serve as a porch or piaz-
Ia" He said that if he could not make
. better building for SOS. 900, he would
w an apology to those who saw it.
He spoke Of the large amounts that
were being expended for public build

Immense sums he said had been ask
