WHAT ABOUT OUR
PUBLIC LANDS?
Shall Their Resources BE Conserved for
the Benefit of the Whole People,
or MOnopOlized for the En-
richment of Fews
is THE PRESIDENTS POLICY
RIGHT2

No more important question confronts
the American public today than that of
our public lands AS an able statesman
has said:
"They are our national insurance policy,
insuring national resources to future
generations. Shall we compromise or
destroy this policy?"
In a recent speech President Roosevelt
says:
"The conservation of our national re-
sources and their proper use constitute
the fundamental problem which underlies
almost every other problem of our ma
tional life
"The men whom we have prosecuted
and those who fear prosecution by us
naturally endeavor to break down the
policy under which alone the, home
makers rights can be secured, and the
lands preserved for the use of himself
and his children"
And he is backing up his beliefs by a
determined effort to enforce the laws and
thereby stop the looting of the public
domain In this action he is supported by
the sentiment of an overwhelming major
ity of the western people, as well as
those familiar with these questions in
the east.
notwithstanding this, there is keenly
interested element in the west, made up
largely of men in public office, associated
more or less intimately with the monop-
olistic timber, coal mining and railroad
interests ably supported by the so-called
system" of the~east, who are opposing
these new policies, claiming that they
are un-American, visionary and auto
cratic, and that the best interests of the
settler and the progress of the west are
jeopardized.
Both sides of these most Interesting
questions will be ably discussed in a series
of articles by prominent western writer,
entitled "The Way of the Land Trans
gressor," beginning with the August issue
of The Pacific Monthly. presenting to the
reader the unvarnished truth, thereby
affording an excellent opportunity to judge
who and what is right.
1t may be said that these articles, while
not addressed to lovers of sensationalism,
will present in dramatic form an inti-
mate account of the more important
frauds against the public domain, to-
gether with study Of the personalities
involved. They will be profusely Illus
trated with series of remarkable photo
graphs, Showing scenes in the public land
regions, the methods of land fraud opera
tors, characters involved together with
sketches from life of public men whose
names are associated with the subject

AGED MOTHER WANTS
POLICE TO FIND SON
Man Has Been Missing Two Weeks
and Relative Is at a Loss to
Account for His Alb.
sence

With tear stained face and faltering
step, Mrs Emeine Kline, a gray haired
old woman who lives at 223 South Main
street, sought the police yesterday and
in sobbing voice supplicated them to
find her son, James Barstow, who has
been missing from home for over two
weeks.
Fer a long time the widowed mother has
been waiting and hoping that her son
would appear or send some message, but
she could stand the suspense no longer
and asked the police to search for her son.
Barstow once kept a restaurant at Oak
land and was later bookkeeper for Miller
& Lux at Bakersfield.
Mrs. Kline and her son came to this
state some years ago from Rhode Island.
1t was thought that the change would
benefit Barstow, who suffered from
paralysis.
Barstow never had any but the kindest
of relations with his mother, and it is
not known why he has disappeared, I'M
less something has happened to him which
has prevented him from sending word
to her.
Barstow is 40 years old, TALL light COM
plexioned, has blue eyes and walks on
crutches.

1t was suggested that the policemen
