GRAND CANYON
 GAME PRESERVE
Government to Protect the Wild Animals
 and Birds

Washington, March 2O.-The sen ate bill providing for the protection of game in the Grand Canyon for est reserve has been favorably re- ported by the senate committee on forest reservations and the protec- ton of game.
 Senator Smoot, acting for the committee, reports as follows:
 "The Grand Canyon forest re- serve has been set apart in north ern Arizona. This tract of land is the only timbered portion of what is known as the Arizona strip. It cannot be utilized for agricultural purposes, as there is not sufficient water available. It has been set apart as a permanent timber re- serve.
 "The bill proposes to permit the president of the United States to designate as game preserve for animals such part of said reserve as in his opinion may be proper.
 1.-The bill applies only to the Grand Canyon forest reserve, and no opposition thereto has been ex- pressed from any part of the coun- try affected thereby. The commit tee understand that the sentiment is unanimous in favor of this ac- tion, in that it will protect from hunters some suitable portion oi that region, to be used as refuge and breeding ground for game ami mals, which are being reduced in number by reason of having nc such protection and whose exist ence it is beneficial to maintain.
 "The spot is ideal for buffalo deer, and other wild game. The land is all public land, in a state of reserve, and is protected by fed eral custodians, so that in this re gard the protection of animals 1T the forest will not involve addi tional expense"
Williams news., 1906-03-31

Washington, March 24.-The sen- ate committee on public lands took action today on two measures of the deepest interest to the west, and particularly to New Mexico. The committee authorized a favorable report on Senator Carter's bill per hitting settlers to take up home steads in forest reserves where the lands are more profitable for agri- culture than forestry. The com mittee also authorized a favorable report on the Hansboro bill repeal ing the timber and stone act and providing for the sale of all timber on lands not included in forest re- serves at public auction at not less than the appraised value. Under the provisions of the bill stone and sand claims may be taken under ] the placer mining laws.

AGAINST UTAH
 ANNEXATION
Are Residents of Strip Lying North of the
 Grand Canyon

"A very ldIsO uioJOii1y Oi 'h0 residents of the strip of this terri tory which lies north of the Grand Canyon of Arizona are against it's annexation to Utah." said James s. Emett, a resident of Lees Ferry, on the Colorado river, yesterday, to a Journal Miner man.
 Representatives of Utah have been very busy there of late." he said, especially since this joint statehood agitation started, repre- senting to the inhabitants that it is better to belong to the state of Utah than to be made part of New Mex ico. All agree to this proposition, but as long as Arizona is left ter ritory or made a state without in- cluding New Mexico, almost all of the people in the strip favor stay ing as they are in preference to be- ing joined to Utah.
 "There are about 800 inhabitants in this much coveted territory" he continued. "about 200 of which live in Fredonia, where there are sev- enty children attending school. The resources of the strip seem to be little known to the outside world.
 For instance: there are about 2O,- GOO head of cattle grazing on it. be-
 sides a large number of sheep and
 goats. The Buckskin forest, which
 is about fifty miles long by forty
 miles wide, is, as fine timbered
 country as can be seen in any part
 of the United States. Besides the
 pine and cedar on it there is large
 amount in cultivation, and lately
 quite few mines are being opened
 up and developed there. The gov.
 ernmenS imported forty head ol
 buffalo into it short time ago, and
 are now about to place there num-
 Der of moose and elk.
 "It contains within it's borders as
 picturesque scenery as can be seer in any part of the world, and would
 today be as prosperous as any par
 of Arizona or Utah if a market wal afforded for it's products by th' building of railroad"
 j MT. Emett, who is the owner o the ferry across the river at hi t place, is also deputy assessor 0 Coconino county. He is interested in the stock business in his vicinity 7 being a large cattle and goat owner He purchased the Ireland herd o goats on Lynx creek yesterday ant d and will drive this with other herd n recently acquired in this section
 overland to his ranges in the stril e as soon as the weather moderates. D His home is within eight mile
 of the Utah line, but he says tha n he will never favor the idea of be n ing annexed to Utah as long a T Arizona is allowed to run it's owl IS affairs either as state or a terri . tory, but would prefer to see hi Il land being made part of Uta ;. rather than be made subject in an e way to New Mexico Journal Il Miner, March 21.
