TRAVIS BEATS TR4VERS.

The Nestbroolk course is where straight driV-

Ion the line most of the time. While neither
played quite up his pitch Travers wofulIy
weak at times in his approaching and putting, and
especially during the latter half OF the play.
Travis had shown great steadiness in the earlier
rounds and his greater reserve power told.
1t was evident at the start that Travers had not
lost his at meeting his older rival, nor did
his earlier work lack aggression. 1t was only In

Christmas will fall on Monday-next
Monday, too-and the tired working
force of The Republican will enjoy a
day of rest. There will be no paper
issued from this office on that day, and
hence ne more letters to Santa Claus
will be printed for delivery before his
arrival tomorrow night, The children
of the city have written many sweet
letters, not one of which but has been
printed in these columns until today.
One came by the mail this morning
that we cannot make out. 1t is in the
dear cabalistic hand of somebody's dar-
ling-circles and half DOL and
curves and angles and a dot here and
there and both sides of the sheet GOV
cred and every impress of a sweet, low
ing little tot with his or her first pen
ell, perhaps, and If the fond mother
read the letter before 1t was mailed to
Santa Claus she knows. She will see
that wireless kilograms go to Toyland
without delay. These letters have

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

Christmas Is essentially the holiday
of the little ones. While the parents
find happiness and satisfaction In holi-
day gifts from each other, they are In
hnitely more pleased with the mirth
and the %joyousness of the little tots
who have come to bless their homes
For years they are able to spread this
~gladness through the medium of h n
old myth, Santa Claus, and it is gener-
ally a sad day when the children find
out their mistake and that their faith
ers and mothers were the real Santa
Claus who brought them presents and
goodies through their childhood.
The faith the little ones have in Old
Santa has been fully set forth through
the columns of The Republican during
the past few days. Hundreds of let
tiers written to Santa have been pub
lished in these columns, showing an
abiding confidence in the g~enuineness
of the old gentleman with the gray
beard. Parents would do well to per
nit their children to remain in posses.
sion of that bit of deception as long
as possible. Their happiness and the
happiness of the little folks are great
ly enhanced thereby
During the past year the people oil
Laramie and vicinity have been pros
porous and there is no reason why ev
cry child should not have some token
Of love to bring joy to its heart on Mon
day morn.
The Republican desires to extend to
all its patrons and the people of this
state at large the compliments of the
season. May they all have a Merry
Christmas.

From Humorous Incident.
A very little girl was taken by her
parents to a prayer meeting at Plym'
outl. church presided over by Mr.,
Beecher. In giving out a hymn Mr.,
Beecher requested every person pres
ent who could sing to do so.
The response not having been suf.
ficiently hearty during the first verse,
Mr.. Beecher before the second again
exhorted all to sing.
"Come, brethren, if you have the
grace of God in your hearts, let I,
come out in your voices. Sing! All
together now! Singi"
The little girl took this as person
al appeal and hastily bethousht herself
Of the song dearest to the heart; the
cry of a fruit vender who otter
brought fruit to her home. Accord
ingly, when the verse began she lei
forth her voice in a shrill cry o.
strawberries! Strawberries! Straw
berries! The congregation faltered
stopped and laughed, but MI. Beecher

your commission concurs in the
opinion of the stockmen that some form
of government control is necessary at
once, but is opposed to the immediate
application of any definite plan to all
of the grazing lands alike, regardless
of local conditions or actual grazing
value. The following plan is intended
to bring about the gradual application
to each locality of a form of control
specifically suited to hat locality,
whether it may be applicable to any
other locality or not. Your commission
recommends that suitable authority be
given to the president to set aside, by
proclamation, certain grazing districts
or reserves. To the secretary of agri-
culture. In whose department is found

suffer from disorder of the kidneys or

him about Doan's Kidney Pills and
learn that the following statement is
true in every particular:
Leroy Grant, state auditor, with Of
fees in the state capital, residence

gave the following for publication in
the month of May 1899. 1t is exactly
as Mr.. Grant expressed himself, and
should be doubly interesting when con
flrmed in an interview considerably ov-
er three years after it first appeared
in the Cheyenne papers. Mr.. Grant
said: 81 am not counting publicity
when | state that Doan's Kidney Pills
We're used in my family and brought
unequivocal benefit. When there are
SO many preparations IN the market,
all claiming especial merit, a sufferer
is in doubt a to which to select. Bias
ing my opinions on actual facts, l ad.
wise anyone annoyed with backache or
weakened or o~verexcited kidneys to
try Doan's Kidney Pills. They will
not be disappointed" In the month of
November, 1902, Mrs. Leroy Grant con
frmed the above as follows: "Mr.
Grant gave for publication in May,
1899, a statement about Doan's Kidney
Pills. During the three years and a
half which have passed that statement
has repeatedly appeared in the Chey-
enne papers, n Mr.. Grant has never
lost an opportunity of corroborating it
in personal interviews. We have told
a great many people that dependence
could be placed on Doan's Kidney Pills,
and we know of quite a few cases
where the treatment brought decidedly
satisfactory results. | am pleased to
re-endorse the original statement

GRAZING LANDS.

The land commission appointed by
the president to investigate and recon-.
mend changes in the public land laws,
discusses the matter of grazing lands
in an intelligent and able manner. The
commission is composed of Hon. w. A.
Richards, commissioner of the general
land office; Hon. Clifford Pinchot, and
Hon. f. II. Newell. chief of the recla-
nation service. They are fully salts
fed that some form of control through
the operation of law must be secured
by stockmen before actual peace can
como to the range. The committee
says:
"The great bulk of the vacant public
lands throughout the west are insult
able for cultivation under the present
known conditions of agriculture. and
so located that they can not be reclaim
ed by irrigation. They are, and proba'
bly, always must be, of chief value fol
more than 800, 900, 900 acres of puDIIC
grazingl and, an area approximately
equal to one-ffth the extent of the
United States proper. The exact lin
its can not be set, for with seasonal
changes large areas of land which af.
ford good grazing n year are almost
desert in another. There are also vast
tracts of wooded or timbered land in
which grazing has much Importance,
and until a further classification of the
public lands is made it will be impos-
sible to give with exactness the total
acreage. The extent is so vast, and the
commercial interests involved so great,
as to demand in the highest degree the
wise and conservative handling OF
these vast resources.
1T Is q matter of the first import
ance to know whether these grazing
lands are being used in the best way
possible for the continued development,
Of the country, or whether they are be
ing abused under a system which Is Diet
rimental to such development, and b!
which the only present value of thu
land is being rapidly destroyed.
"At present the vacant public lands
are theoretically open commons, free
to all citizens; but as a matter of fac
a large proportion have been ~parceled
out by more or less definite compacts
or agreements among the various in
terests. These tacit agreements are
continually being violated. The sheep
men and cattlemen are in frequent col
lision because of incursions upon each
others domain. Land which for years
tie range may be infringed upon by
large bands of sheep, forced by drought
to migrate. Violence and homicide fire.
quently follow, after which new ad.
justments are made and matters quiet
down for a time. There are localities
where the people are utilizing to their
own satisfaction the open range, and
their demand is to he let alone, so that
they may parcel out among themselves
the use of the lands; but an agreement
made today may be broken tomorrow
by changing conditions of shifting in
terests.
The general lack of control in the
use of public grazing lands has result.
G NATURALLY and inevitably in overgraz-
ing and the ruin of millions of acres
of otherwise valuable grazing territory
Lands useful for grazing are losing
their only capacity for productiveness,
