THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The report Is an exhaustive sum-
mary of evidence adduced at the hear
ings held by the commission in the
course OF It's inquiry. II enters into a
discussion of Harriman's policy in OBJ
tanning and maintaining control'of the
various railways in the Hartman sys-
4em and presents entirely complete
history of the operations of various
lines. Excerpts from the verbatim
testimony of Hartman are given to
show as stated in the report THAT
II is only The law which prevents the
concentrating in Harriman's hands OF
every railroad line between Canada
and Mexico is the frank admission OF
Hartman himself made at the hear
ing. The geport covers twenty-eight
pages and includes a map showing

which Hartman controls. The salient
points OF the story are here repro

Denver, Colo, June 20.--A sensation
was sprung in the public lands con
ventlon "wednesday by charges made
by both the administration and tho
anti-administratio forces that the
convention was being packed. The an
| tbs charged that number of men who
were not properly accredited delegates
had been given seats. An order was
made to issued new cards of admission
and to see that only genuine dele
gates received them. When the com
mittee on credentials reported, 1t was
found that 400 delegates were accred'
tied to Colorado, las to Wyoming and
the balance of states scarcely 100,
Colorado's representation was later
cut to 396, 1t being stated the first
figures were an errcr In addition. 1t
developed that all Colorado's accred-
tied delegates whether present or not,
had been counted, while In the case OF
the other only those present were to
be allowed to vote. The report was
sent back to the committee with In
structions to bring its report accord.

committees report will be heard the
first thing Thursday morning and II
1t obeys its Instructions 1t will give
a vote for every person whose ere
dentials have been sent to the con
vention whether they are present of
not.
General Hale spoke Of the great i'm
portance of preserving the timber In
order to conserve the water for irri-
cation. The forests preserve the snow
he said, and in this way 1t becomes
a natural reservoir. Important as the
forests are for the timber in them,
they are much more necessary as res
ervoirs He thought that the work
OF the fonestry department was Of the
greatest use to the west.
Delegate Chris Ellerbe Of Arizona
spoke in favor of forest reserves. Ell
lerbe is a small cattleman in his state
and said that the forest reserve in
his neighborhood has been the saliva
ton Of his business. 1t Is the little
man, he said, who looks to the gov
eminent for protection. The big man
can protect himself.
Judge D. G. Beaman Of Colorado
was the last speaker Of the day. He
told Of a number Of abuses under the
regulations as they now exist and are
Most Of the cases he
cited were minor annoyances due to a
great extent to red tape.

day when he turned back Mr.. Mat

and man Of high renown in general
Matthew he took the opinion Of Law

that rights was rights an land 80

Matters was let sink for bit after
that, but the upshot made a rare story,
an people laugh yet when you tell 'em
about It.
You must know that young West
away was counting just then, an he'd
got his hands SO full with Mary Jane
Arscott, the stone-breaker's darter,
that for lack of leisure-naught else
he didn't watch his field-path so sharp
as usual. The storm died down bit
an by the time that the matter OF
Mary Jane had come to head, things
were fallen back into the old way.
Well, this Mary Jane was a fine
woman. an would have seed her way
pretty clear, II 1t hadn't been for a
young youth by the name Of Benja-
min Pearn.
This Ben Pearn CHANGED to have
Just what t'other man lacked-a come
ly countenance an fine, manly frame
to him. Yet with all his eleverness,
he was a fool when he failed in love,
as a many afore him.
Between these two men, Ben an
Nicholas, 1t rested, an Mary Jane took
her time to make up her mind. She
was In love with Benjamln's self an
Westaway's farm. That's how II stood.
Then things happened that helped
Jane to decide.
