Ca Sc Dismissed.

The preliminary hearing of the case
of the state vs.. j. T. Shippey charged
with larceny, was held before the Just
ice of the Peace in Walden Tuesday and
after a hearing of the evidence the case
was dismissed Wednesday morning.
The arrest of Mr.. Shippey was made
at the instance of Stephen Harl, the
former having torn down and removed
a building and tn e goods the property
of the estate of w. L. Harl from a peice
of land of which Mr.. Harl and Mr.. Ship
pey both claim possession, to his home.
At the hearing Mr.. Shippey did not
deny the moving of the goods and build
ing, but claimed he had the right, on
the grounds that the coal filing of his
wife on the disputed land, gave him act
ualpossession of the land. over the home

sed, which was placed on the land sub
sequent to, and subject to the coal fill

day morning. and Mr.. Harl. Jeptha Dav-
ison, Chas Pine and Ed Kiefer testified
as to the removal of the building and
goods. The state rested its case with
these witnesses and Mr.. Shippey was
placed ON the stand His testimony
was to the effect that he had moved the
things charged, that they were still in
tact and in his possession, claiming in
defense of his action that he had the
right to remove them Valdia Shippey
and Mr.. Pine We're also called by the de
fense
Mr.. Harl was placed on the stand in
rebuttal and at the conclusion of his
testimony the court was adjourned un.
til Wednesday morning to hear the ar
gurHent of the attorneys
However, in the morning it was agreed
to accept the decision of the Justice, on
the evidence submitted without argu-
ment, and, while the opinion. was ex
pressed that Mr.. Shippey might have
used other and more peacable means to
accomplish the removal of the articles
charged the action could hardly be held
as burglary and larceny so the case was
dismissed.
The case of the state vs.. j T. Shippey
Valdia Shippey and Chas. Pine, for the
larceny of a mile Of barbed wire fence,
was also dismissed as the evidence was
practically the same in both cases.

CONVENTION.
II Will Discuss the Phases of
the Problem and Graz
ing Merely Incident.

The proposed public land convention
orado in the near future, will not be
limited to a discussion of the grazing
problem. as generally supposed, but will
take up the broader phases of the ques
tion in regard to the future policy of
the government in the administration of
these lands The troubles of the stock
men in regard to the grazing question
are merely incidental as compared with
the more important matter of the fut-
ure development of these lands. 1t is
generally recognized that some radical
changes in the laws are necessary, and
owing to the fact that the future 1)ros.
perity of the West is largely bound up in
the administration of these public, which
occupy the greater part of the area of
the western states, it is important that
all the people consider the situation and
if possible agree upon some general pol
icy to be urged upon Congress. While
stockmen will be represented in the con
vention it is expected that all other in
dustries and commercial interests will
also be interested. 1t is a vital question
affecting the prosperity of the West and
one of the objects of the convention is
to make the general public acquainted
with the present situation. AT the pre-
sent time only a comparatively few of
the people understand the situation or
realize the importanceo of the question:

Harry Howard the Rand ranchman

Mr.. Howard states several Of the ranch

For general use the woven wire, of
which the Page is undoubtedly the best,
is an excellent fence The regular stock

pounds, and makes a five foot fence.
The fence weighs 10 pounds to the rod,

port large corps of Union Pacific sur
veyors in thd field, running line from
Wamsutter, Wyo.. down through part
of Routt county, through North Park

The rich grazing and stock country
North Park, the mining districts about

of the Little Snake river valley will thus
be opened, and the Union Pacific line
from Denver to Ogden will be shortened

made between the Union Pacific and

BACK FROM WESTERN TRIP
THE PRESIDENT MUCH PLEASED
WITH HIS EXPERIENCE.
At Cumberland He Endeavored to Talk
Against a Steam Whistle, Which
Was Finally Subdued.

President Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb and
Surgeon General Rixey returned to Wash
ington from their visit to Canton, Indian
apolis and Lansing at 4:45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon via the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Secretaries Root, Garfield and
Wilson, who departed with the President
from Washington, did not return with him,
Messrs. Root and Garfield preceding him
here and Secretary Wilson remaining in the
west. The President went at once to the
White House and later to the executive
offices to dispose Of business which had ac-
cumulated The President is to leave on
June for the jamestown exposition, where
Georgia day Is to be celebrated on the 10th.
On the 18th he will leave for Oyster Bay,
where, as he said yesterday, he hopes to
pass a quiet summer.
The President expressed himself as hav-
ing thoroughly enjoyed his trip through the
west and as having experienced a very in
teresting time. Roosevelt weather fav-
ored him throughout his travels with the
exception of yesterday, when it rained hard
all the way from Pittsburg to Washington.
There were no formal features provided for
yesterday, however.
The run from Pittsburg was without spe-
cial incident. Everywhere the train stop
ped the President appeared on the platform
of his special car and bowed to the people
who had gathered in anticipation of his
arrival. When time permitted he shook
hands with them, and at number of the
larger places he spoke briefly. Several
times he got good drenching as he stood
with bare head and leaned over the plat
form of the car.
At Cumberland, Nd, steam whistle
kept up its racket while the President was
attempting to talk. Finally he gave in to
the whistle, remarking that he could not
talk against the hum of industry" Some
one then called to the engineer and he shut
off steam temporarily and the President
resumed.
Mr. S. B. Hege. the district passenger
agent Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
who arranged the details of the trip accom-
panied the President throughout the entire
journey, which was made without an un-

Its Needs and Influences Exploited by

DETROIT, Mich, June 1.-The growing
influence of the modern university depends
on the efficiency of the men they produce
clared President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward College, In his address today to the
delegates OF the associated Harvard clubs.
The address, which dealt with the real tend
encies of the day in relation to higher edu-
cation, opened the final business session of
the organization.
The past forty years have seen some not
able changes in the education system of the
American schools" said President Eliot.
The changes extend to all grades and d.
visions of the school work and have re-
suited in the broadening and deepening OF
that work TO remarkable degree. First
among these developments has been the
steady tendency to increase the period OF
residence at the university. We are now
planning a new business course at Harvard
which will require degree for entrance
and which will require five and six years
to complete
"A second noteworthy change is found In
the tendency toward individual teaching
This is a particularly expensive improve
ment and Is the main reason for the in
creasfng cost of an education in this coun.
try. But perhaps the chief evidence OF
progress is found In the change in the mat
ter OF discipline and the form and spirit OF
government In the school"

You have honored me twice by election
to the ONCE Of president OF the alumni

as shall do today, l want to express again
my hearty appreciation OF your confidence
and of the support 1 have received from
you in the discharge Of my duties. and
l desire also to thank most cordially Prof.
Brodeur and his associates and all others
who have contributed to the success Of
this meeting.
A Fine Old School.
II believe most heartily in such cele-
brations. This fine old school, with its
worthy traditions in the great world of
education, is encouraged and strengthened
by these meetings of graduates and the in
f1uence they exert Is greater and more
wholesome than we may for the moment
realize.
THE chief glory of a school is not in its
size but in the quality of Its work and in
the character Of Its graduates The West
field Normal School has glorious past.
1t may not be inappropriate to outline brief
ly some Of the determining factors. as they
appear to me, in its success.
1T was founded on broad lines. with a
definite purpose in view, and has adhered
to that purpose through all the siXtyeight
years of its existence. 1t came within
two months, less a day. of being the oldest
normal school in America, but as loyal
graduate that fact does not deter me from
asserting that it takes second place to no
institution of it's kind in the country-not
even the excellent institution which opened
its doors few weeks earlier.
From time to time the commonwealth
of Massachusetts, has defined the lines upon
which it should be conducted, but has never
sanctioned departure from the essentials
of sound knowledge, the best methods OF
teaching, and right mental training, the
third being by far the most important Of
the three
