WESTERN PEOPLE INTERESTED

There has been some objection raised on the part of interested people to the opening of the public lands convention to the public. Some of the stockmen think that their interest in the public lands is the paramount one and that it is necessary to let the public in the secrets of the administration on this matter.
 It is true that the public knows but little about this question. Many think they have no interest but as a matter of fact every citizen of the west has most decided interest and the convention in Denver this week had a large attendance in addition to the dele gates, and the reports of the pro- ceedings will be read with interest.
 For instance, the public is familiar with the rapid advance that has recently taken place in lumber all over the country. The United States forest service raises a howl; every time that the suggestion is made that the policy of the service had something to do with this advance. There are plenty of people familiar with the lumber situation however, who insist that the action of the ad ministration in taking possession of all the unencumbered timber lands of the west is directly responsible for this rapid advance which has made building operations exceedingly difficult and en- pensive.
 This matter was called to the attention of congress last February in the debate before the senate Senator Carter of Montana said:
 "Mr President: I have no doubt it is the honest intention of the forest reserve management to give everybody an equal show in the purchase of. the timber; but the fact is, that the man running a small sawmill is outbid for this timber and driven out of business, whereas the large mill owner. having an equipment enabling him to reduce the logs to merchant able size more cheaply, is enabled to bid larger price for the stump age. It thus comes to pass in the state of Montana that the price of lumber has gone up, because of no competitor on the part of small saWmllIS, rom an average or oil a thousand to an average of from $17 to $40 per thousand.
 "I have a letter on my desk from a ranchman in the upper part of , the Bitter Root valley announcing that the commonest kind of lumber in that country now costs.$17 thousand, and they are surrounded by forests, by superb trees; that there is but one sawmill left of any consequence in that valley. and that belongs to one of the wealthiest corporations on the American continent"
 This is one of the matters that was discussed at the convention.
