AGAINST TIMBER
AND STONE ACT

Washington. Oct 13.-In his forth
coming annual land report Land Com
missioner Richards will present
forceful argument In favor OF radical
notifications of the timber and stone
act. He builds his argument upon the
showing of rapidly increasing timber
entries in late years.
Out of 19, ,741 .180 acres Of public lands
entered during the past fiscal year,
1.765,222 acres were covered by timber
entries. or more than three times the
area of timber entries in the preceding
year. This growth is better appreciated
when 1t is known that in twenty-five
years the timber and stone act has been
operative, less than 100000 acres, all
told, have been entered under Its pro-
vision.
Commissioner Richards objects to
the timber and stone act because 1t
allows entrymen, largely spectators.
to acquire for $3.50 an acre lands that
are easily worth 500.
There is no doubt that the law Is
being taken advantage of by specula-
tors, who are getting rich at the ex-
pense of the government and Of men
for whose benefit the law was primar-
lily passed." he says. 1T Is right that
this timber should be cut and used
commercially, but the government
should get an adequate return for part
Ing with the property. Matured tim
ber should be cut when ripe. Therefore
l would not favor law that proposed
to cut Off all sales, but believe that
the present law is defective and should
be repealed. The government has more
timber land than all lumber compa-
MES own together. and It would not be
just to put fence about the forests
and forbid cutting"
Commissioner Richards also recon-
menus the repeal OF the Communication
clause Of the Homestead Act.

STOCKMEN AND
FOREST RESERVES

Denver, Oct. 13-Charles Martin,
secretary Of the Live Stock Association.
has returned from trip to Salt Lake
City, where he met with the Utah Wool
Growers Association. He says the
stockmen of Utah are stirred up over
the question of segregating the forest
reserves.
Forest reserves Is one of the Ques-
tons that will cause discussion at the
meeting of the National Live Stock AS
sociation when it meets in Portland in
January" said Mr.. Martin. THE In
terror Department has set aside SO
much OF the grazing land Of the West
in forest reserves that the stockmen are
beginning to believe that the range Is
being lost to them. Unless some steps
are taken to discourage the depart
ment in making forest reserves of the
best grazing land of the West the
sheepmen will be crowded to the wall.
"In the state of Utah there are 52.-
000.0 900 acres OF land. and of this
amount Of 100000 acres is arid
The arid land makes good grazing land
when the snow is on but in the summer
the sheep must be taken to the noun
tains. OF the 100000 acres in Utah
that Is not in the arid belt 10000 are
set aside as forest reserves. guarded by
rangers to keep out the sheepmen. 1t
Is said that the sheep destroy the young
growth in the forest reserves. The fact
is that the grazing OF sheep in the re-
serves would be good thing. 1t would
clear away the underground of weeds
that feed the forest fires every year
and destroy thousands Of acres Of tim
Der.
"In Oregon out OF 63.oOo.ooo acres
Of grazing land in the state $4,000. 900
are set aside as reserves. In Colorado
the condition is becoming just as bad.
Recently 36S.000 acres were set aside in
Gunnison. Pueblo. Leadville and Del
Norte districts. That means 30 much
less grazing ground for sheep.
1.-The worst OF II is that the forest
reserves include thousands of acres
that have no timber. The richest graz
ing land of the state lies In the midst
OF the forest reserves and is excluded
from the grazing area"

Governor Peabody stated that he had
heard nothing concerning the threat
ened coal strike, and that he did not
anticipate the need of troops in the
coal fields of the southern part Of the
state. He denied emphatically that he
had received assurances from President
Roosevelt that federal troops would be
sent to aid the National Guard in cop
ing with the strike situations in the
state.

SENSATIONAL STORY OF DUEL
in LA FAIR MURDER TRIAL

Denver, Oct. ia Grand Junction
dispatch of last night says:
For the first time the public was
given an accurate account of the Mas
sey killing when the state to-day pre-
sented its case in the trial of William
La Fair, charged with murder. The
witnesses, who reside forty miles from
Grand Junction. disclosed two import
ant facts. one of which created consid-
cradle sensation In the court room.
This was that Massey used his five-
year-old son as shield against La
Fairs bullets, and that fully half a
dozen shots were exchanged in a duel
in which e. T. Massey was killed
Testimony favorable to the defense was
given, upon cross-examination, by
nearly every witness for the state,
and was to the effect that Massey had
been heard to threaten La Fair. This
is in support of La Fairs contention
that he killed Massey in s.if-defense.
c. F. Bowman, G. wholesale butcher,
who owns a ranch in the Unaweep
country near those OF Massey and La
Fair, was the chief witness for the
prosecution. He testified that he had
gone from Grand Junction for cattle,
and was at his ranch with Silzell, Ham
mond, Castro, Tries and La Fair. cat
tlemen and cowboys. They had been
rounding up cattle when Massey rode
hp. They nodded and Massey rode on,
with his son, both mounted, and
stopped on the other side of rail
fence about 200 yards distant.
Bowman said he started toward Mas
sey. having announced that he would go
to the latter's ranch and inspect cat
tie that Massey wanted to sell, return

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND

An Agricultural Epoch.

The special meeting of the stock
holders of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad Company, to be held October
21st, the day after the annual meeting,
Is likely to be one Of the most impor-
