While Interior Department
Furnishes Timber Thieves.

,, No special effort will be made by
the government to enforce the anti
fencing law on western ranges for the
next year. All special agents who
have been in that line of work in the
past have been placed at work on
land fraud cases. "It is more essen
ital that the government save public
lands which are being taken from 1t
by fraud" said Acting Secretary OF
the Interior Woodruff, than to have
| illegal fences torn down at this par
ticular time. We can destroy fences
almost any time, but we can not de-
lay Investigations into land frauds
because those who committed the
frauds would soon have their tracks
covered so we'll that we could not
catch them"
The interior department has map
ped out campaign against land
grabbers of the west for the coming
year that promises to turn up scandals
that will completely overshadow those
in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Utah
and wyoming in recent years. With

The government will soon know
how many cases are pending in the
courts of the country to which it is a

disposition that should be made OF
them. A commission composed of a
