The prosperity of the United States
cannot be destroyed by Wall street
furries, in the judgment of Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson. 1t has been
asserted by fnanciers who have come
to Washington and consulted with the
president that only good crops during
the coming season would save the
country from serious business and e.

such crops, according to Mr.. Wilson.

like universal crop failure" said the
secretary. There is no reason to
anticipate anything more than the
growing of crops. how to prepare the
soil, how to seed and how to cult
vate plants ard harvest grain.
"The fiurries that are occupying
Wall street are not affecting the farm
population at all Many OF the farm
ers do not now anything about them
and If they do, they think there is
simply a manipulation of stock with
which they are not concerned. You
can not get the farmer to touch any
thing of that kind now, because he
does not know what the consequences
may be. A sad reflection on our rail
road stocks at this time is the fact
that notwithstanding farmers who
have made and are making money
know so little about railroad securi.
ties and have so little confidence in
them that they won't touch them, are
sending hundreds of millions of dollars
across the border into Canada to buy
land which they know will not run
away"
The secretary deprecated The failure
of the railroads to furnish Transports
ton for crops, pointing out that many
bins were full of grain as a result OF
the lack of transportation facilities.
In consequence, money which would
have been paid for the crops is not
in circulation.

LAND fraud CASES
COMMISSIONER BALLINGER is
GETTING BUSY.
Prosecutions Will Be Vigorous-Warn-
ing Is Given-FuTther Attempts to
Loot the Public Domain Mean Prison
He Reorganizes Force-F. N. Good
win of Spokane Is Chief Of Division.

Commissioner Ballinger of the gen.
eral land Office has issued a statement
indicating that there will be vigorous
prosecutions of land fraud cases. He
has a plan to reorganize the force of
special agents, with Harry w.
Schwartz as chief in charge, and chiefs
Of field divisions as follows: F. N
Goodwin of Spokane, Washington and
Idaho; Ward NJ. Dixon of Portland,
Oregon and part of Washington; Louis
L. Sharp OF Helena, Montana.
The commissioner SAYS a majority OF
frauds have been in coal, timber and
arid lands, hence these classes are
especially watched, although agricul-
tural lands will also come under close
espionage. Commissioner Ballinger's
statement bristles with warnings
against further attempts to loot the'
public domain, promising trouble for.
all who are found guilty.
Secretary Garfield and Commissioner
General of the Land Office Balilnger
will come west this summer to visit
number of states and meet the people
to learn the general conditions, to look
into land fraud cases and to ascertain
wherein further changes are needed in
the organization of the department and
the land office. They expect to be open
to suggestions from all classes that
may know wherein the policy of the
department should be amened to meet
new conditions.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, will
soon leave Washington for a six

past and wants to correct them and al
so to make known TO the people where
in the policy has heretofore been mis-
understood through misstatements
made by opponenst. Mr.. Pinchot is
especially interested in Idaho condi-
tions and will probably remain some
time in that state.

RESTORE RESERVE LAND.
Colorado, Montana and New Mexico
Affected.

Forester Pinchot has ordered the
restoration to public settlement OF
about 100000 acres which had been
withdrawn temporarily and placed in
forest reserves. The lands are 49,, 800
acres which had been placed temper
arily in the reserve in Las Animas
county. California; 1920 acres ada
cent to the southern portion of the Big
Belt national forest in Park and Gala
tin counties, Montana, and 25,6O0 acres
in Grant county, N. NJ, adjacent to the
Big Burros reserve. This last named
on examination, was found to be
chaparral and open grass land, hence,
following the policy which the bureau
has adopted, it was restored to settle
ment.
The Montana lands were found to be
chiefly grazing in character The
Colorado land was restored because II
was represented by commercial bodies

the area was already filed on by set
