We still w confronted by column ater column of newspaper comment re-
garding the Yellowstone National Park Forest Reserve. AS has beer the case
through bout the past few months The Enterprise, owing to the coterie of ad in
term editors, has expressed nan conflicting opinions in regard to this matter
which has furnished a luscious feed Ito the presses Of the county in making bril-
liant arguments. We o beg to state that the editorial pen has fallen into the
ounce that he is ct responsible for the spams which have been printed here
tofore. In briefly commenting upon this reserve question. it seems as though
50 much has been said o both sides that a conglomoraion Of argumen.aive
facts is 10 the result. If e come down to the bottom of the proposition it
itself into a few words Is it batter forthe government to appropriate these
ltds for a forest reserve than It's to allow them to be settled upon and used
for agricultural purposes? Now, when we consider the things that lead to the
rernanent deveiupemont of country, what is it that We enumerate first? Is it
the mining industry? No. Is it the preservation of the forests? No Is ii
agriculture? Most as5uredy. In the forest reserve, o causing so much in
dgnaron among the people, there is situated thousands of acreso of fertile lands
which could, with little effort, be made into a rich farming district. If these
lands are there, being protected by law from the gouge of the pillow and the
scratch of the narrow, doing ut ne any good, is it probable that they who can
see tho vision of tomorrow in nourishing crops and prosperous settlement, will
not formulate q dsapproval of the administrations? If these sections which are
dropped, thu noteo of harmony would be sounded. the cattle lei and sheep
men would meet each other o q common bash, the game laws would be car
rd out without indignant criticism and the reserve officials would be allowed

The opinion Of Gov. B E. Brooks regarding the extras session of the lgis

Los Angeles, July 27.-Now that the
Death valley miner, Walter Scott, is
attracting so much attention, many in
teresting stories about tho man Of

are founded on fact, as Scott is well
known among miners from Nevada to
Los Angeles, and was in Randsburg
during the gala days Of that camp.

is not as valuable as other mines in

the idea that wealth is limitless.
Scott himself claims that he has

"The nearest Scott has ever come
to revealing the whereabouts Of his
mine, +" said an old miner just in from
the Randsburg district, "was in his
delirium from exhaustion following
his return TO camp after the discovery.
"In his delirium he told Of his

ions reaching furnace creek without
