Tralls in Forest Reserves.

1t is reported from Washington that
during the coming winter and spring
many miles of trails will be built in the
government forest reserves. One of the
chief cares of the forest service in the
management Of the reserves is to pro.
tect them against fire. A statement is.
sued by the forestry service recently
says:
The trails will afford means of reach
ing all parts of the forest reserves on
horseback and the fire lines will form
vantage points from which the fire may
be attacked, or against which it may be
directed and there controlled. The
trails to be built will be carefully plan
ned and constructed with an easy grade.
This does not involve much expense,
for in many situations a perfectly good
trail can be built for $40 a mile and many
miles will cost less than So The work
will be directed by the regular forest of
ficers and the rangers themselves will
perform most Of the labor.

Coe l. Crawford Holds Conference with
Ex-senator PsttiRrew


Coe l. Crawford, of Huron, who is the
insurgenC republican leader in the state,
and reputed candidate for the uomina-
tion of governor, spentthe nightin town,
and had a several hours conference with
ex-senator Pettigrew and w. S. Bowen
the editor Of Mr.. Pettigrews newspaper.
1t is understood Mr.. Crawford reported
TO Mr. Psttigrew the situation in the
state as he understands it, and out of the
iullaess of his past experience as man
ipulator, MIR. Pettigrew gave such ad
vice as be thought would help the incur
gent cause.
Ii is further reported that Mr.. Petit
grew declared that MIR Crawford would
have his hearty support though it must
needs be- quiet, for Mr.. Pettigrsw has
been III the past very abusive OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt and does not now claim
to bs republican. Mr.. Pettigrew told
Crawford that he did not approve Of the
reported alliance with Senator Gamble
and advised that some other candidate
for the senate be taken up. 1t is not
hard to guess who the some other" can
didate is that Mr.. Pettigrew had in
mind The pickerel politician has never
yet quite reconciled himself as being out
in the cold and his dearest wish is to get
back. This did not appeal to Mr.. Craw-
ford and the conference ended-so it is
deelared-with the assurance by Mr.
Pettigrew that he would do verything
possible to help Mr.. Crawford. The ex.
senator is after Senator Kittredge and he
sees no way to accomplish this program
Of revenge except by supporting Mr..
Crawford.
Meanwhile the Martin forces report a
rosy situation. County after county is
getting ready to wheel into line, and the
friends of the Black Hills man have no
doubt whatever about the ultimate out
come.-Argus Leader.

There can be no doubt that the de-
mand for a reduction in the cost of life
insurance will have to be needed. The
demonstrated fact is that most Of the
large life insurance companies can very
materially reduce their expenses and
this they will be compelled to do. There
will undoubtedly come lowering of
salaries and very likely also reduction
IN commissions TO agents, which mani.
testify, accepting the above figures as
correct, are extravagant. What is conf.
IDENTITY to be expected is very complete
reform in life insurance business meth
DDS, with the result of not only reducing
the cost of insurance but also increasing
the dividends to policyholders. And
the probability is that the reform will
not be long delayed.

CATTLE ON RESERVES.
Secretary Wilson Agrees to Modify tn
Regulations.

Secretary Wilson Agrees to Modify the
Regulations.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture and Clifford Pinchot ofthe
bureau of forestry, after a conference
with Hon. Eugene Grubb of the Colo
RADIO board Of agriculture have agreed
to modify the new forest reserve regula.
tions recently issued. The new rules, to
take effect January l, provide that cattle
grazing on the reserves must pay fee
of from 20 to 35 cents per head. A gen.
erai protest has gone up against this
proposition, especially from stockmen
adjoining the new reserves upon these
reserves for their grazing.
Mr. Grubb went TO Washington on his
own motion and in behalf of himself
and neighbors, who would be practical
| ly driven out of the live stock business
by the new rules, and made such strong
argument to Secretary Wilson that it
was finally agreed that an order should
be issued modifying the new rules, so
as to make grazing free on the newly
created reserves and on the old reserves.
One hundred cattle will be admitted
! free of fees, and over that number will
head. Dir. Gr1bb agreed to this, but
wanted all pasturage fees on cattle in
Colorado reserves eliminated entirely,
and this may ultimately be acceeded to-.
| 1t is stated that no concessions will be
made to sheepmen, as flock owners can
we'll afford to pay the small fees exact
| ed"
! The above dispatch was sent out from
| Denver under date of October 26 The
fact of the matter is that Capt. Seth Bul.
| lock, supervisor of the Black Hills for.
est reserve, was the FIRST one to suggest
| these revisions. In conversation with
! Nr. Bullock, several weeks prior to the
departure of the Colorado man for Wash
| ington, he stated to reporter of the
| CHRONICLE that when Chief Forester
Plnchot was in the Hills about two
! months ago he had talk with him on
this subject, and that he had recon-
! mended that as the settlers on the Black
Hills forest reserve were of great assis-
lance to the rangers in keeping down
( forest fires, and in other ways helped
them in carrying out the regulations of
\ the department, he did not believe that
! it WAS right TO tax them for the privi.
} iege of grazing their cattle on the re-
serve lie suggested that as nearly ali
| of the settlers were small farmers, and
| as few OF them possessed more than 100
head Of cattle that they be allowed to
Craze that number free, with a nominal
charge OF l0c per head for stock in ex-
cess of 100 head. This suggestion re-
ceived favorable consideration from Mr.
PInchot, and be promised Capt. Bullock
| that the case would be so stated 70 the
secretary of the department, and felt
sure that such order would issue. So,
instead Of the order charging from TWEEN
ty-tive to thirty-five cents head going
into effect on the first of January, new
order will govern the grazing of cattle
on the reserve, whereby one hundred
head of cattle will be admitted free of
fees, and over that number will pay a
fee not to exceed 10 cents per head.

ELENENTH GRADE
The Weather for November.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks, in his weather pre-
diction for the month of November,
states that the first storm period is CEN
tra on the eth, extending from the 4th
to 9th. The last storm period of Octo.
Der will not have wholly subsided be-
fore the lst or 2nd of November, after
which will come two or four days Of cold
fair and frosty weather. Then the bar
ometer will begin falling in the west
with change to cloudy and warmer. Au-
tumnal rains, probably ending in snow,
will pass eastwafdly over the country
during the 9th, 9TH and 9th. Change to
cooler, clearer weather will follow.
A reactionary storm period will be
central on the 1lth and 18th. There
will be change to warmer, southerly
winds and cloudiness, and more autumn.
al rains will make their transit from
west to east across the country. Change
to colder, with northwesterly winds and
freezing weather at night, will follow
the storms.
The third storm period is central on
the 18th, covering the 18th to 10Th.
Some very decided autumnal storms and
gales may be expected, and November
cold wave will follow.
The fourth storm period is central on
the 22nd and 23rd, about which dates
general storms will be in progress from
west to east, with indications good for a
continued spell of very stormy weather
for the balance of the month. Tho
storms Of this and the succeeding period
may be 80 prolonged and intensified as
to make almost one continuous time of
perturbation.
The fifth storm period will begin as
early as the 25th and 26th. Normally it
would be central on the 29th. A change
to warmer will be advancing from the
west by the Goth, with general autumn
al rains, turning to snow and sleet, and
almost genuine November blizzard will
press close behind the last stages of the
storm.

sULzER BILL SHOULD PASS

The bill granting Alaska full terrl' torial government, introduced in the national house ot representatives by William Sulzer, dean of the New York city delegation in that body, should be- come a law. Tit is the desire of con- gress to please the people of Alaska as senators and representatives have 80 often said it is, the bill will be passed without delay. The people of Alaska will never be contented until their right to make their own laws is recog- uized.
 The Sulzsr bill was carefully pre- pared by a man who knows Alaska as no other member of congress, senator OF representative, knows it. MT. Sulzer has been in Alaska many times, and spent many weeks here on each visit. He is largely interested in the district and in caring for those interests he has come in close contact with northern people. When statesmen appear here on more or less official visits and on an advertised schedule they are too often ,,,--,,D5sS with so many people who serve special interests and who desire to secure tavors that the real people Of Alaska, those who live in the district winter and summer, do notcome in cO1- tact with them at all, and they go away with either au absolutely erroneous idea of the public mind or at best with very hay impression of it. It has been different with Mir. Su'z'r. He has gotten clcse to the heart of this great distric, and he understands,
 The affairs of Alaska are becoming too complex to be treated by legisIa- tors ignorant of condi itions and advised by men with more or less selfish mo- tives. Laws for the government or Alaskans should be made by a legisIa- ture composed of men residing in and representing all ths sections of the district and who are familiar with the details of all the lines oi human acttv' fly in it.
 Government ;under the Sulzer bill would not be more expensive to the people than is the abominable make shit. under which we now suffer; and under it the people would rule, the laws would be made by men who know what they are doing, and why.
