MANAGER WILL
RETIRE FROM THE sTo

Mr.. r. l.. Hurt, the manager of the
Three Rules store, has rendered his
resignation, which has been accepted
by Mr.. Cones, the Denver owner, and
Mr.. Hurt will leave Laramie to accept
a position as travelling salesman, hay
ing such an offer as made 1t unwise
for him to refuse it. Mr.. H. A. Gish,
the superintendent of the clothing de-
partment, will succeed Mr.. Hurt as
manager of the store. While the city
can i'll afford to lose so enterprising a
citizen as Mr.. Hurt, there is compen-
sation in the knowledge that his man
tie will rest upon just as worthy Shout
ders in the person of Mr.. Gish. For
two years Mr.. Hurt has been in charge
the Three Rules, and in that time
trade has been quite large, Mr.. Cones
expressing himself in unmeasured
terms with satisfaction at the excel.
lent showing made. The change will
occur between now and the end OF the
present month.

Cause of Brokers' Suicide.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 1.-THE cause of
the suicide of Leland Prior, a stock
broker, is believed by the bankers
probing the accounts, to have been
the sale of forged municipal bonds.
Detectives are trying to find who en-
graved them. The customers who
thought Prior was carrying accounts
for them on the New York stock ex-
change are believed to have lost heav-
lily. The failure of Prior's firm will

mum fee for use of the reservations
for grazing purposes
THAT the smaller stockmen, some OF
whom are poor, be allowed to work out
their fees by certain services as forest
rangers, etc.
"That the largest amount of stock
that can do so be allowed to feed upon
the ranges, except where the growth is
young and there they can feed all. If
fees must be paid, the stockmen desire
to get all the service possible out of
the reservations.
ALREADY our work in Wyoming has
brought about an increase of from 80 to
so per cent in the number of stock nj
lowed to Craze in Wyoming, and the
same can undoubtedly be done in Colo
RADIO.
"Mr. Pinchot will be in Denver just
ahead of the live stock meetings to be
held here, and on the morning of Jan
uary 27 will hold a meeting at 9 O'Clock
with committees from the various Or
ganizations. He is practically In
charge of the forestry work, being in
it simply because he likes it. He is a
millionaire and does this work because
of his love of forestry. Mr.. Pinchot
stands close to the president and his
Recommendations will have great
weight with the chief executive What
he desires to do is to get the stockmen
together in a representative way and
find out exactly what they ask, so that
every possible favor may be extended
Them
The efforts of Senator Warren and
others to get the proposition OF grazing
fees and privileges under thorough reg
ulation is regarded as particularly sig
nificant at this time because it is be-
jlieved probable that in the near future
the prairie land of both state and gov
ernment will also be put under lease
and fees charged stockmen for its use.

WO0DMAN
WOUNDED
WILLIAM McCANN, ROCK RIVER
RANcHMAN, CAUGHT BY
A FALLING TREE.
Broken Branch Penetrates Brain Cav
ity, Producing Injury That Physi-
clan Believes Will Prove Quite
Serious-Brousht to Hospital on
the Noon Train Today.

William Mccain, a ranchman living
twenty miles west of Rock River, and
having a wife and three children, was
brought to the city on the noon train
today and taken direct to the hospital,
where he is Under the care of physi-
clans for a very sever wound sustain
ed yesterday afternoon, while telling a
tree near his home. He has a bad
wound in the forehead, t the base of
the nose, and his physicians believe he
will have a serious time recovering
from the effects of it. DR.. McCollum
was called to Rock River yesterday aft
ernoon, where he treated Mr.. Mccain,
removing bits of bone from the wound
and dressing it as best he could.
Mr.. Mccain was chopping down a
tree, which fell in the direction least
expected, catching him as it fell. A
branch was broken and the portion left
on the trunk of the tree struck him
in the face, making a wound which
reached the brain, particles of the
brain tissue oozing from the hole. He
was picked up by his companions and
taken home, where the physician, sum
moned by telegraph, found him, and
where he was treated SO hat he might
be brought to the hospital. The acct
dent was unavoidable, as far as can be
learned, the falling tree leaving the
course planned for it to follow and
swinging against another tree, chang
ing the line and catching the woodman.
Mr.. Mccain was on the operating
table at $3.50, when a telephone mes
sage was received at this office from
the hospital. His condition at that
time had not improved. He was under
the influence of anaesthetics and was
unconscious.
Mr.. Mccain is the brother of Mrs.
w. H. Mead, who died at Rawlins a
few days ago. and was a ormer resi-
lent of this city. His family live on
the ranch, Mrs. Mccain being unable
today t. accompany her husband to
this city.

IOWA BILL MAY Be
\ PARTY MEASURE
REPUBLICAN, MEMBERS OF HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON INTERSTATE
COMMERCE OF ONE MIND.
viii Back Any Measure introduced and
viii Favor Bill to Be Presented by
Iowa Congressman, Which Pro
vides That Commission May Sub
stitute Rate Upon Complaint.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE republi-
on interstate held a meeting
to decide a plan of action in the hand
ling of the ~rate-making proposition in
the house. The meeting was harmoni-
Gus and the majority of the committee
will be behind any measure that is re-
ported.
The indications are that the Hep
burn bill will be made a party measure
in the house. This provides that the
interstate commerce commission shall
substitute a rate upon complaint, the
rate complained of to remain in force
pending an appeal to the courts. 1t al
SO increases the interstate commerce
commission to nine members.
There has been some controversy
among the authors of the various rail
road bills as to which Measure shall
be taken up by the republican mem
bers of the committee. Representa-
tives Townsend and Esch, joint auth
.ors of the bill that has been SO widely
advertised, were anxious that that
measure should be reported by the
committee. 1t seemed to be the opin-
ion of the republican members that, as
a courtesy to Chairman Hepburn Of the
lcommittee, his bill should be reported
The republican members of the COM
mittee will hold another meeting to-
day TO finish the work. Announcement
probably will be made later in the week
that a decision has been reached that

Special to The Republican.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 11.-Governor
Brooks today informed a correspondent
for The Republican hat he favored
the -postponement of the opening of
the Wind River reservation until Au-
gust l of the present year.
Last year the work vas delayed on
the Northwestern railroad by the
scarcity of men. December was an
unusually cold month, and frozen
ground greatly retarded the work of
grading the line. The roa has been
completed to Powder river, forty
miles west of Casper. and track will
be laid to Wolton before spring."
The governor stated that in his judg-
ment it will be June before the road
reaches Shoshoni. This new city. 100
miles from Casper, on the edge Of the
reservation, Is surrounded by a great
farming country, and at present there
is little or no farming within a radius
of many miles. Consequently. if the
railroad is only built to this point
when the opening occurs, the thou
sands of newcomers f1ocking to our
state will have nc opportunity to see
growing crops or visit irrigated farms.
Seventy-fve per cent of them will re-
turn east without the slightest percep-
ton or the real value of the irrigated
lands Of the state. n will doubtless
take with them an impression unfav-
orable to the whole western country.
This would be unfortunate, both to the
state of Wyoming and to the railroad
companies.

United States Senator F. e. Warren

eral matters with Register woodruff
of the state land board, says the Den

Warren stopped off for a short time
here yesterday on his way to Washing

pointment of a committee of three from

committee, with two others, one from
the National Live Stock association
and one from the American Cattle
Growers association, will meet in Den

Mrs. Myers of Omaha, who is with
her son at the hospital, will take him

foot as the result of the accident at
Rock River is a severe trial for the
youth, but he is cheerful and thankful
that he did not lose his life, as there

the time of the accident he would

GOVERNOR BROOKS
ON THE OPENING

who have grown rich at farming there
have many stalwart friends who are
anxious to seek their fortunes in this
western country. In the states men.
toned the standard of citizenship is
very high, and Wyoming has reason to
expect great results from the influx
of such people.
1T Is of paramount Importance that
these people should be shown the best
Wyoming can produce. If this opening
Is delayed until August l, and the
Northwestern road is built into Ian
der, then they would see fertile fields
of grain and alfalfa, roots and vege-
tables, and would obtain some idea
of the fabulous productiveness of Wyo-
ming's soil. They could visit the In
dian lands on the diminished reserva-
ton and see 100000 acres of new farm
ing lands, just ditched and ready for
cultivation, much of which can be
rented advantageously. This would
be a great help, both to the Indians
and to the new settlers.
They would see tempting trout
streams, flowing oil wells, rich mineral
ores, Touring mills and manufacturing
plants. If there wasn't room for all
in the reservation and in the beautiful
valleys and rich country surrounding
Lander, they would still see enough
of the state. Returning homeward,
they would spread the glad tidings Of
the new country, rich in resources and
opportunities. This would mean that
every section of Wyoming and all the
railroads would be permanently ben
Gifted, not only by the rush of the res.
ervation opening, but by the steady
inflow of new settlers for years to
come.
Moreover, if the government should
stipulate that only towns Immediately
adjacent to the reservation, such as
Lander, Shoshoni and Thermopolis
are to be registration points, the Bur-
lington might be induced to extend its
line from Worland to Thermopolis be-
fore the opening occurs.
"a very important eason for delay
ing the opening is that it Is necessary
for the state to survey the irrigable
lands in the reservation prior to set
tlement, in order to be able to grant
water rights in such manrer as to in
sure the rapid and economical con-
struction of canals"
