 hither and thither, utterly destroying the pastures and leaving a waste be- hind, so that their presence is incom- patible with the presence of home makers The existing fences are all illegal. Some of them represent the actual homemakers, from territory which Is usurped by great cattle com panies. Some of them represent what Is in itself proper effort to use the range for those upon the land and to prevent its use by nomadic outsiders. All these fences, those that are hurtful and those that are beneficial, are alike illegal and must come down. But it is an outrage that the law should neces. sitate such action on the part of the administration. The unlawful fencing of public lands for private grazing must be stopped, but the necessity which occasioned it must be provided for. The federal government should have control of the range, whether by permit or lease, as local necessities may determine. Such control could se- cure the great benefit of legitimate fencing, while at the same time se- curing and promoting the settlement of the country. In some places 1t may the homesteads of actual settlers should be allotted to them severally or in common for the summer grazing of their stock. Elsewhere it may be that a lease system would serve the pur- pose, the leases to be temporary and subject to the rights of settlement and the amount charged being large enough merely to permit of the eff cient and beneficial control of the range by the government and of the payment to the county of the equiva- lent of what it would otherwise re- ceive in taxes. The destruction of the public range will continue until some such laws as these are enacted. Fully to prevent the fraud in the public lands which through the joint action of the interior department and the depart ment of justice we have been endeav- bring to prevent there must be further legislation and especially sufficient appropriation to permit the department of the interior to examine certain class es of entries on the ground before they pass into private ownership. The gov ernment should part with its title only to the actual homemaker, not to the profit maker who does not care to make a home. Our prime object is to secure the rights and guard the inter ests of the small ranchman, the man who blows and pitches hay for him. 1self. It is this small ranchman. this actual settler and homemaker, who in the long run is most hurt by permit ting thefts of the public land in what ever form.

Abolition of Tariff on All Forest Pro.
 ducts Recommended.

There should be no tariff on any for est product grown in this country, and in especial there should be no tariff on wood pulp, due notice of change being of course given to those engaged in the business so as to enable them to adjust themselves to the new conditions. The repeal of the duty on wood pulp should If possible be accompanied by an agree ment with Canada that there shall be no export duty on Canadian pulp wood.
 Mineral Lands.
 In the eastern United States the mineral fuels have already passed into the hands of large private owners. and those of the west are rapidly follow ing. It is obvious that these fuels should be conserved and not wasted. and 1t would be well to protect the peO- pie against unjust and extortionate prices so far as that can still be done. What has been accomplished in the great oil fields of the Indian Territory by the action of the administration of- fers a striking example of the good re- suits of such a policy.

FOREST RESERVATIONS.
They Should Be Vastly Increased tt
 Conserve Resources.

Optimism is good characteristic, but if carried to an excess it becomes foolishness. We are prone to speak of the resources of this country as inex- haustible. This is not so. The mineral wealth of the country, the coal, iron, l, oil, gas and the like, does not repro |tduce itself and therefore is certain to be exhausted ultimately, and wasteful- hess in dealing with it today means that our descendants will feel the ex- Ehaustion generation or two before [they otherwise would. But there are kcertain other forms of waste which could be entirely stopped. The waste of soil by washing, for instance, which Ifs among the most dangerous of all wastes now in progress in the United States, is easily preventable, so that thiS present enormous loss of fertility ts entirely unnecessary. The preserva- fion or replacement of the forests is 1ne of the most important means of preventing this loss. We have made a Beginning in forest preservation. but 1t $ only beginning. At present lum- bering is the fourth greatest industry n the United States, and yet so rapid has been the rate of exhaustion of tim Der in the United States in the past md so rapidly is the remainder being xhausted that the country is unques- ionably on the verge of timber fam ne which will be felt in every house told in the land. There has already ,een a rise in the price of lumber, but here is certain to be more rapid and eavier rise in the future. The present nnual consumption of lumber is cer- ktainly three times as great as the an- ual outgrowth. and if the consump- Ion and growth continue unchanged Practically all our lumber will be ex- austed in another generation. while bng before the limit to complete ex- austion is reached the growing scar ty will make itself felt fin many lighting ways upon our national vel Ire. About % per cent of our forested srritory is now reserved in national ,rests, but these do not include the pst valuable timber lands, and in any -ent the proportion is too small to ex- ct that the reserves can accomplish ore than c mitigation of the trouble hich is ahead for the nation.

DEATH FOLLOWED BRIEF ILLNESS.
Zach Bell Died Sunday From Con-
geStiOn.

Rarely has the death of young per-
son caused such univ ersal sadness here
as did that of Zach Bell on Sunday
afternoon when, after an illness of two
DAYS, the strong, sturdy lad succumb-
ed to brain congestion.
Quickly the distressing tidings
spread over the city, carrying mex
pressible grief to hundreds here who
knew and loved the handsome, manly
young boy, so generally esteemed.
The announcement came as a shock
to many, as his condition on Saturday
evidenced improvement.
Friday afternoon, while at his usual
work in the store, he was seized with
brain congestion. Commissions fol
lowed at a later period and, despite the
best medical skill, the end came at 4
O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
And thus a young life goes out in
the bloom of strong, vigorous youth,
and pail hangs over one of the hap
piest homes in Americus.
Zach Bell-every body loved him
was the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. f.
l.. Bell, and while strong and fully
developed for his years, manly, ster-
ling youth, possessed a spirit of gentle
ness unusual in boys of his age.
Quiet, modest and unassuming, with
the gentleness of girl and the cool
courage of hero withal, the impress
sion made was ever favorable and
lasting. None knew Zach Bell but tC
esteem him in the highest degree.
The pride of his parents, the idol O.
sisters and brothers, his untimely
death is inexpress1bly sad indeed.
Though ight-hearted, buoyaut and
care-free ever, Zach Bell was possessed
of deep religious convictions, and not
long since was baptized as a member
of Furlow Lawn Baptist church.
The funeral services yesterday morn
ing, conducted by the pastor, Rev. R.
L. Bivins, were most impressive, and
attended by hundreds of sorrowing
friends. Rarely, in fact, has larger
funeral ever been witnessed here.
The pallbearers, young friends of the
dead boy, were Win Miller, Griffith
Eldridge, Watts Market, Frank
Marshall, Irving Poole and Heys Nc
Math. The floral offerings were
beautiful. and most profuse.
1t was a sad, fearful, heart-rending
occasion. vet beautiful in pathos, ten
derness and silent grief.

on time and bringing long freight
train with two coaches and baggage
car on the rear. AS announced several
days ago, the Central Railway on Sun

Columbus. The passenger service
just discontinued may be resumed
during the fall and winter months

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to >cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and
this tube restored tosits normal condI.
ton, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
