Wants to Know tho Law


The people of Wyoming away from
the scene of the meeting Of the late
legislature, know nothing at all con-
corning the laws passed further than
that laws were passed on certain sub
jects. The bills We're outlined as in
troduced and later, with one or two e
ceptions, were announced by the Chey-
enne daily press as having passed"
with no reference to the amendments
which may have in some instances
The legislature, however, is not to
blame for this; and the fault lies en-
tirely with the Cheyenne dailies. En-
gagged as they were In a personal quar-
rel, they forgot that the subscribers
away from the scene of battle were en-
titled to some consideration. Had one.
half the space devoted to the back-bit-
ing of one another been devoted to
publication OF the bills as passed we
would have known something. Better

Administered by Westerners.
THE claim made by some that this
system would, or could be under local
control, that 1t would be administered
by western men, ana in accordance
with local interests, strikes me as be-
ing most extraordinary to say the least.
For with the control in the secretary
of agriculture the local officers, such
as range riders, grazing supervisors,
ETC., would have no more to say about
the general policy that the local ONO
ials in the forest reserves now have.
1t is notorious that while local men
are in control of the forest reserves
they have practically no voice In the
fixing of the forest reserve policy. And
SO it would be fixed by Mr.. Pinchot un-
der the secretary. OF. agriculture, and it
would be carried out by local men &C.
cording to his views or they would fail
to hold their jobs.
An ~intoIerabIe Condition.
No man who has knowledge Of the
conditions and methods Of grazing on
the public lands needs be told how alb
solutely intolerable such a condition
would be or how impossible it would
be under ordinary conditions to carry
on the live stock business with the
question of the increase or decrease Of
their Hocks Or herds; the time and
place of the use of the range; the pass
age of flocks and herds from n part
of the country to the other, not a mat
ter as now of free viii and choice, but
dependent upon the arbitrary will and
decision of a federal official.
Some of the Objections.
1T is not an answer to the objec.
lions to national range control to say
that all of the public lands might not
be included in grazing districts; that
the number of animals allowed to
Craze might not be decreased below
the number now grazing; that the regu.
lations relative to the use of the range
and the passage from n part to an
other for shipment, or other purposes
might, and perhaps would be, fair and
intelligent. 1t Is the part of wisdom
for us to keep our heads out Of the
halter rather than submit to being led
around by the nos in the hope that
those who lead might do it gently and
reasonably. Nobody contends that the
present conditions surrounding the use
Of public ranges are ideal. In fact
there are mighty few conditions in this
world that are. But a year or two Of
federal control hampering. restricting,
burdening and irritating beyond ex-
preston, as it would inevitably be.
would lead us to look back upon pres
emit day conditions as having been bliss
full and ideal in the superlative de-
gree"

BICYCLE RACERS
HAVE BECOME CRANKY

NEW YORK, December 14.-Entering
into the home stretch of their long,
weary 1i2-hour journey, the riders still
left in the grueling grind at Madison
Square Garden afe in the same relative
positions to one another as they were
yesterday
Try as they will, the top tie between
the Moran-Fogler and Rutt-Stol teams
cannot be affected by the combinations
further down. This quartet Of riders are
the freshest today of the entire outfit,
and in the frequent shuff1es that come
they are never lost for an instant. In
fact, it looks as though 1t would be pos
sible for them TO go out and put another
lap on the entire bunch if they wanted
to, with the possible exception of Downey
and Downing.
Rutt Is being saved for the final sprint
as much as possible. as he is determined
t. win this race, and go down in his
tory as the first European to accomplish
the trick. Johann Sto is a wonder. He
is doing all kinds of hard work, and
when asked last night how he felt? IAN
right" he replied except my lips hurt
me. The wind has cracked them, and
they are dry. and hurt me all the time"
Think of six-day rider at the end
of the 10th hour having nothing more
to complain of than cracked lips?
In the other teams Moran never felt
better in his life, but Fogler is getting
cranky again, not a very good sign. Per-
haps this fit of bad temper has been
brought on by notice put on him by r.
X. Kelsey, the chairman of the board of
control. to the effect that he would be
disqualified Immediately from the race if
he entered in any combinations or tried
to flag any rider or riders when a sprint
was started.
Yesterday morning he did ride Dupree
wide, and try and prevent him from
starting anything, but it was all done
out of pure loyalty to another American
rider.
1t seems that Patsy Logan was in such
bad condition that he had to be taken to
his room and strapped down while his
injured leg was steamed out. An the
other riders. with the exception of Du-
prce, agreed not to start anything until
Logan was again in position to relieve
his tired mate, Bardgett. That was the
son why his every movement is being
afternoon was accused by Manager Pow
ers of bringing down Dupree, the French
rider. when he started a sprint, but that
is unfair to Fogler. Foger was nowhere
near him. and it was Wiley who threw
the Gaul when puncture made his wheel
slide from under him.
From now on there is hardly possible
chance of there being a Change in the
score. The riders most of them IN
a condition now that makes a quick sprint
a torture to them. They had rather wait
and settle it in the final mile than take
any more chances of changing the score.

Mountain of Oyster Shells.

A small mountain of oyster shells that
have accommodated at the 18th street
wharf since the opening of the present
oyster season is slowly growing, and sew
eral men are kept busy all the time wheel
ing the shells in barrows from the shuck-
ing houses and dumping them on the pile.
Some of the shells will be used for road
work in the country, some will be burned
to make the oIdfa shioned oyster-shell
lime; but the bulk will eventually be
taken back down the river and three or
four years from this time will reappear
in this or some other market with crop
of new oysters clustered around them.
In the spring, the latter part of April
and in May vessels will come to this port
and take shells aboard to be carried down
the river and spread over depleted oyster
beds. Oyster spat as the spawn Of the
oyster is called, floats up and down the
river with the tide and finally attaches
itself TO some hard object and there
grows. The shells are spread on the
river bottom to furnish the spawn with
something on which to cling. and in three
years they become marketable oysters.
With the new oysters the old shells come
back to market and are once more sold
to the consumer. Oystermen say it is not
necessary to. have shells for the Spat to
cling to- old boots or shoes, stones, bot
ties in fact any object that is hard will
do just as well. The spat is not particular.

ton was formed. No definite action was
possible. however, because Walter Camp
was abroad when President Hadley of
Yale might have settled the matter last
summer. Unless Yale feeling takes a turn
there is reason to believe she will join.
The association has formulated the
amendments that are necessary to bring
ABOUT the results the larger colleges wish.
III those amendments pass the colleges
that were formerly members of the old
rules committee will secure permanent
representation. and the term of all mem
bers of the committee will be increased
to three years. This will secure the pres
,ence on the committee of the men who
have had the greatest experience in foot
ball legislation and who are responsible
for the development of the game. 1t will
also prevent changes in the personnel of
the committee before the new men ap-
pointd have time to acquaint themselves
with the character of the work and to
become really useful.
Committee Changes.
There is not likely to be more than one
change in the personnel of the present
committee. The seven men who. derive
thir offices from the association are e. Is.
Hall of Dartmouth. DR.. J. A. Rabbit Of
Haverford. Prof. c. w. Savage of Ober
lin. Charles D. Daily of West Point. Prof.
Dudley of Vanderbilt, DR.. J. l.. Lees of
Nebraska and DR. Harry l.. Williams of
Minnesota. Every one of them has done
notable work in furthering the best in
terests of the game. and some of them
have rendered conspicuous service.
OF the old members W. T. Reid. jr.. will
be the only one replaced Joshua Crane
takes his place Harvard's representa-
tive. Walter Camp. for Yale: Prof Fine,
for Princeton; John c. Bell. for Pennsyl-
vania; Prof Dennis. for Cornell; Paul
Dashell. for Annapolis. and Lon Stang,
for Chicago, are sure to serve again.
There is not likely to be any very
radical change in the rules of play no
matter what the outcome of the meet
ing this month. There is general satisfac-
ton with the general tendency of the
game. though a great many minor changes
are again necessary. Walter Camp is not
alone in feeling that the forward pass has
been abused rather than used. There are
many that believe that the latitude al
lowed has occasioned the promiscuous use
of the pass until it has become. except
in the hands of few teams. anything but
an evidence of skill. The possibilities OF
its misuse are so many that it is almost
certain that measures will be taken to
curb it.
OF the present committee at least six
members have declared that they Will
vote to abolish it If satisfactory means
of preventing its misuse cannot De 1ouho.
