Postpone Legislation
Globe Special Washington Service
!, -

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. H.
Legislation on the. subject of public
lands, and particularly the repeal of
the timber and stone act and the dis
posal of timber on public lands, went
glimmering today, when the house
committee, by q, vote of 10 to 4, deter,
mined to postpone action indefinitely.
In voting against this action John
Lind explained that until the bill
passed for limiting lieu scrip use he
was opposed to legislation which
would give an opportunity to -specu-
lators in scrip to locate valuable for
estry lands, which he says would be
the effect Of the repeal Of the present
laws. Walter e. Clark.

strict leasing law for arid lands of all the states and territories.
 Foremost among the resolutions adopted at the conference were those bearing upon conditions in the grazing districts of the west and upon the crea- tion of forest reserves. These resolu- tions flavor the passage of a law which will authorize the secretary of agriculture to thoroughly classify the vacant lands of the United States and determine the conditions at present governing the use of the grazing areas and to ascertain those sections of the range area, if there be any, to which the lease system can be satisfactorily applied"
 The resolutions further favor the vesting of power in the department of agriculture to create an administrator of forest reserves. Other resolutions adopted favor government control of and jurisdiction over all public grazing areas of the department of agricul- ture."

.PIMAS ARE NOT STARVING
The Interior Department Investigates
 a Missionary Report.

Washington, Aug. 5.-A thorough in- vestigation by the interior department of a statment recently made to the president by a delegation of the Pres byterian board of missions that the In- dians of Arizona are on the verge of starvation reveals the fact that the In- dians, on the contrary, are amply pro- vided for. It was found that $27 ,0CO all ready had been authorized for the re- lief of the Pimas during this fiscal year. Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan aided Commissioner Of Indian Af- fairs Jones, who was at san Francisco, to meet a representative of the Pres byterian board at the Pima reserva- tion.
 The commissioner has telegra phed the department that he has returned from visit to the Efmas and he adds: There is no more suffering than ex- ists on nearly every reservation in the southwest owing to the severe drOuth during the last three years. The agent las ample funds on hand to relieve any suffering"
 The agent for the Pimas has wired the following: "NQ Indians are starv- ing on the Pima reservation Flour, | beef and wheat are issued to 300 una ble to work. One dollar day is paid to all Indians whJ will work. Sufficient funds are authorized for immediate re- | lief Nothing is required at present. | Twenty thousand dollars additional will be required for the Pimas ,after January 1st if the drouth continues. 9
 The interior department recently in- structed it's superintendent Of irriga- tion to construct a system of wells to supply water for irrigation purposes for the Indians, as the water from the river had been diverted by the white settlers above the reservation.

CHANGES IN LAND LAWS
Suggestions Made in the Conference
 at Denver.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 5.-The western stock growers who have been confer- ring here for three days with the special land commission appointed by President Roosevelt, finally adjourned this evening without taking any action with reference to the strike at the packing centers. A resolution was adopted with practical unanimity urg- ing upon congress the necessity of a transfer at the earliest possible day of the management of the forest re- serves to the department of agricul- ture, where not only forests, but all the interests involved, may be prop erly studied and protected.
 A discussion of the resolution con- corning grazing was animated, there being a strong sentiment in favor of the resolution reported by the commit tee so as to urge the passage of a
