DECISION. CONFIRMED
Interior Department Will
Not Reopen Indemni-
ity Land Matter

Some time ago Hon. N. Richardson
forwarded to Senator K. Nelson q
petition from many settlers on rail-
road indemnity land in this county
asking that the decision made last
wear be reconsidered. In February.
1908. the department of the interior
made decision that the land grants
OF 1857. 1865 and 1871 should be con.
sldered as cne grant There had been
decisions contradictory of this owing
to an Interpretation OF a supreme
court decision which the department
in It's last decision says was not war
ranted. Senator Nelson has written
Mr.. Richardson to effect that he had
consulted Mr.. Buckman and had sent
the petition to Secretary Hitchcock
of the interior department.. He previ-
ously wrote that the only thing for
the settlers was to have the interior
department ask the legal branch of
the government to again take up the
case. This Mr.. Hitchcock declines tc
do, saying that at the hearing which
resulted in the decision of February,
1903, everything bearing on the mat
ter had been carefully considered and
that the department does not doubt
the correctness Of that decision. The
secretary says:
"While the head Of the department
may request the opinion of the attor-
noy general on any question of law
arising in the administration Of his
departm ent. it would be necessary for
this department in presenting the
matter to the attorney general for de-
cision to state that 1t had doubts as
to the proper construction of the law
or matter submitted for opinion.
This, for the reason appearing in the
foregoing, it cannot do. and I am
thereby unable to comply with your
request. -
The result leaves the title to the
lands in the railroad company. It is
understood that many settlers hoped
for decision that would enable them
to secure their land direct from the
government, under the operation of
the homestead laws. They will have
to makeetersns NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

for cattle some miles from Oreana,
this state, yesterday morning. In fall.

found himself helpless and alone in

Instead of giving up he started to
crawl on his hands. reaching Oreana
with the skin and flesh torn from his
limbs and suffering untold agony. but
still game.
There is no physician and only a

PL0WS
CONVERTING ACRES OF RANGE
INTO FERTILE FIELDS IN cUL-
TivATIoN OF GRAIN.
Activity Among Owners of Property
Along the Little Laramie and Un-
der the Pioneer Canal, Where
Fields are Being sown to Oats,
Alfalfa and Barley.

III line with suggestions made at diff
ferent times by this paper there is a
great deal of activity in an agricultural
way on the Laramie plain, particularly
along the Little Laramie river and
under the Pioneer canal. 1t is noted
that a much larger acreage than usual
is being plowed up and seeded with
oats, alfalfa, barley and potatoes. and
that men who had such crops last
year are doubling the area this year.
This is particularly noticeable along
the Little Laramie river.
Mr.. Carroll is blowing much more
than last year and Mr.. Kelly, OF the
Fleming ranch. is doubling his piowed
land. Next year both gentlemen will
engage in the raising of wheat for the
benefit of the local Touring mill,
which will be gotten in readiness TO
receive the crop and convert it into
flour.
E. j. Bell, who has a reputation all
over Wyoming for raising potatoes, is
blowing a much larger area for this
and other crops, and proposes to do
full share in making the plain blossom.
Mr.. Wallace is running four plows
and turning over a lot of new ground,
which he will sow to grain and plant
to potatoes. He will more than double
his area.
The rancbmen along the big canal
are running from two to four plows
and converting acre after acre of range
into tillable land.
Congressman Mondell informed a
citizen of this city a day or two ago,
during his visit to Laramie to attend
the state convention, that the depart
ment Of agriculture would send sur
veyors to the Laramie plain this sum-
mer and ascertain the probable amount
of water that could be conserved in
the basin between here and Centennial
which has been under consideration
for some years and obtain other data
in connection herewith, with a posi-
Bile conversion of the great basin into
a reservoir for the benefit of irrigation
under it.
Mr.. Mondell said the matter had not
been given up by any means, and that
he expected to see a favorable report,
as the site had already been favorably
repOrted upon in connection with the
reclamation service established re-
Gently.
Not as much wheat will be sown on
the plain this year as next, as the mat
ter was late in getting started and the
ranchmen who have turned farmers
had not time to do what they intend
to do next year and the years to follow.
The action Oh the business men and
capitalists in the city in reyiving in
.terest in the mill here will have its
effect on the plainsmen, and next year,
it is believed, a sufficient crop of wheat
will be harvested to at least furnish the
supply of breadstuff o. the people of
the county.
The broad acres of the big ranches
are being converted into fertile fields
as rapidly as teams Il plows can con
vert them.
