The text of Swettenhams message Is
as follows
JAMAICA, Jan. 2O.-The Hon. Elihu

Jamaica profoundly grateful to your
excellency for expression of sympathy
and for the very practical aid so kindly
given by Admiral Davis and the entire
service squadron of the United States

Bacon from the Britnsh charge of EN-.
"Sir--I have the honor to inform you,
under Instructions received today from
his maiesty's principal secretary of
state for foreign affairs, that his ma
jesty's government is causing official
inquiries to be made as to the authen-
ITCHY of a letter which appeared in the

jamaica and addressed to Admiral
Davis, commanding the United States

"Sir Edward Grey desires me to say
that, while he is so far dependent on
the press for information with regard
to this incident, he deeply regrets that
a British official shall have addressed
such a letter to the gallant admiral who
had rendered valuable assistance to

STOCKMEN FLAY
PROTECTION IDEA

car per day for every day in which the
railroads fail in this respect"
Mr.. Mackenzie said that the minimum
carload weight for all classes of live
stock was too high and should be ad-
justed. He spoke of the bill introduced
in the present congress to amend the
meat inspection law adopted by the
last congress so as to make the packers
pay for inspection. The objection
stockmen had to the proposed amend
ment was that they would have to
stand the cost themselves, something
like $3,OOO,O0O annually.
Mr. Mackenzie characterized the
question of the administration of the
forest reserves as one of the most
important upon which the association
should take action.
Mr.. Mackenzie eulogized Secretary
Wilson and said he never expected
again to see man in the agricultural
department who would personally pay
so much attention to the live stock in
terests of the west.
Clifford Pnchot of the government
forestry department delivered greetings
from President Roosevelt to the stock
men and the following message, saying:
THAT in his (the presldent's) judg-
ment, the government control of the
public range is evidently coming, and
coming quickly. That 1t is right that
it should come.
"That he believes it is for the best in
terests that all users of the public do
main, including the live stock men, that
1T should come soon, and
That, as government control OF the
public range is one of the fixed policies
of his administration he would be glad
to get the advice of this association as
to the form 1t should take for the best
interest Of all concerned"
The matter of government control of
the public grazing lands in Colorado
and throughout the west has long been
bone of contention in the ranks OF the
stock growers. While many of them
favor President RooseVelt's idea in this
regard it is stated a majority are an
tagonistic to this plan.
President Mackenzie recommended
that the association consider the matter
carefully.

Germany Intensely Interested
Nv Associated Press

by ASSOCliltu ASsS'
BERLIN, Jan. 22.-The newspapers
here print every item of news available
regarding the incident between Gov
ernor Swettenham and Admiral Davis
involving the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can warships from Kingston, and view
the quieting statements from Washing-
ton with a certain degree of skepticism::
Editorially the various papers regard
the incident as being more or per
sonal affair than an incident between
the two governments, and ascribe the
friction to Swettenham's fired nerves
and sensitive national pride. Some OF
the papers say that the Americans now
may understand the feeling of Germany
over the declination of the United
States to accept the RELIEF for the Sar
Francisco earthquake sufferers, al
though it is at the same time admitted
that the circumstances in the cases are
quite different.

railroads would not accept shipments

Railroad Commissioner Lawrence tes-

He said in part:
1.-THE commission believes the rail-
roads-Hill lines-have been too pes
smistic regarding the continuance of
present conditions in the northwest
and have failed utterly to provide in
advance either in cars or In tracks for
the traffic that has originated here.
