Speaks True For PalAtkA.

Prof. L. |. Hines is in Gainesville
as an instruc tor in the university
summer training school. In an in
terview with the Gainesville Sun on
Wednesday, the professor said:
1.-The people of Palatka are delight
ed over the selection of Gainesville
for the State University, and next to
your own people I do not believe
there is better satisfied element in
the whole state. Palatka has always
been on friendly terms with Gaines
willie and its people, and everybody
knows that we have been openly in
favor of Gainesville since the begin
ming, as the press of our city will in
dicate. We felt almost like celebrat-
ing ourselves when the news came,
and you may feel sure that next to
Palatka, Gainesville is undoubtedly
the place for the university, and you
got no more than You deserved.

Senator Warren also indorsed tile
suggestion OF Congressman Monde II.
The necessity for this fee, as x
planned by Forester Pinchot, is to In

for forestry purposes, and at the sa me
time give greater security to livest ock
men using the forest reserves for the
grazing of their herds
He explained that considerable rev

ernment would then give grf lzing
leases or permits up to the full pas
turage capacity of each reserve; that
those obtaining permits to Craze Iheep

Commencing January 1 the forestry
bureau will organize a new policy with
reference to grazing sheep and cattle
in forest reserves. says a Washington
dispatch. After that date fee per
head will he charged for the grazing
of livestock in the reserves. 1t Is
proposed to charge cents per head
for sheep and 25 cents per head for
cattle during the season.
This new policy is meeting with
vigorous opposition from the western
senator's and representatives. Repre-
sentative Mondell. of Wyoming, called
on the chief forester and entered a
vigorous protest against the proposed
change.
He insisted that 1t was contrary to
established custom, new departure
that the public lands of the United
States had always been considered as
belonging to the general public and
for free use for grazing purposes.
In this he was Joined by Senator
Warren, who entered the office of the
chief forester while Mr.. Mondell was
protesting the proposed change. For
ester Pinchot informed them that the
policy had practically been adopted,
and that 1t was useless to protest fur
ther.
"Then II such policy is to be
adopted" continued the representa-
tive, IT trust that you will make the
rates reasonable"
I'VE have about decided to charge
6 cents per head for sheep and 25
cents per head for cattle" replied
Forester Pinchot.
"I think that Is unreasonable" pro-
tested Mr.. Mondell. "In Wyoming,
In the mountain section. where you
have forest reserves, sheep can only
be grazed for a period of two and one
half months during the year; cattle
can only be grazed from three to four
months To subject the people of
Wyoming, where the season is short,
to the same grazing charges as the
people of other states would be un-
reasonable"
Mr.. Plnchot finally said that he be-
leved It would be practicable to re-
duce the fee one-half in regard to the
first 100 head OF cattle grazed by n
stockman in a reserve, but that the
full fee would be charged on any
number in excess of 100
Mr.. Mondell then insisted that 2 1-2
cents per head for sheep and 10 cent,
for cattle would be a reasonable fee
anywhere in tho west. The chief OF
ths forestry division stated that he
