BALLINGER
GETS BUSY
GENERAL LAND OFFICE
RE-ORGANIZED.
THE COMMISSIONER is TO MAKE
THE LIFE OF LAND THIEVES
BURDENSOME.

Commissioner Ballinger of the gen.
eral land Office has issued a statement
indicating that there will be vigorous
prosecutions of land fraud cases. He
has a plan to reorganize the force of
special agents, with Harry w.
Schwartz as chief in charge, and chiefs
of neld divisions as follows: F. N.
Goodwin of Spokane, Washington and
Idaho; Ward M. Dixon of Portland,
Oregon and part of Washington; Louis
l.. Sharp OF Helena, Montana.
The commissioner says a majority of
frauds have been in coal, timber and
arid lands, hence these classes are
especially watched, although agricul-
tural lands will also come under close
espionage Commissioner l3allinger's
statement bristles with warnings
against further attempts to loot the
public domain promising trouble for
all who are found guilty.
Secretary Garfield and Commissioner
General of the Land Office Balilnger
will come west this summer to visit a
number of states and meet the people
to learn the general conditions, to look
into land fraud cases and to ascertain
wherein further changes are needed in
the organization of the department and
the land office. They expect to be open
to suggestions from all classes that
may know wherein the policy of the
department should be amened- to meet
new conditions.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, will
soon leave Washington for a six
months tour through the public lands,
to attend numerous conventions and to
meet people wherever any desire is
made to learn about the policy of the
forestry bureau. He realizes that the
bureau has made some errors in the
past and wants to correct them and al
so to make known to the people where
in the policy has heretofore been mis-
understood through misstatements
made by opponenst. Mr.. Pinchot is
especially interested in Idaho condi-
tions and will probably remain some
time in that state.
Forester Pinchot has announced the
restoration to settlement of 1877 ,040
ACRES inLKootenai county, Idaho, which
had been temporarily withdrawn as
part of the Preist river national forest
reserve. The lands lie in a strip sc
miles long, adjacent to the east bound
airy of the Priest river forest reserve.
The reason for the restoration is the
fact that the land is occupied so ex'
tensively as to render it impossible TIC

TAFT-FoRAkER CONTEST.
Politics Getting Quite Warm Down in
Ohio.

OIiOs
Senator Foraker's challenge to the
Roosevelt-Taft forces in Ohio drew
fiom the latter recently an answering
challenge that promises a contest I'M.
equalled even on this famous political
battle-ground. Foraker proposed a
contest at the primaries to decide
whether he should be indorsed for
president and senator. Tafts mana.
gers came back with the suggestion
of a simplifed contest, one that would
wipe the senator or the big secretary
off the political slate.
Foraker's def" set the politicians
huzzing, but this answer from the sec
rotary opposed to him asserted that
his def" was not as defiant as it APP
peared on the face because 1t did not
clearly outline Foraker's position.
They claimed that by inviting prima-
ries he was only forestalling what was
bound to come to pass anyway, and
that they also averred that he was
maneuvering so that If he should miss
the presidency he would land the SEN
atOrSh1p.
But this answer from the Taft camp
has aroused interest in the contest to
burning pitch. The matter is of a
national Importance, of course, be-
cause in whatever form the contest
is held it will decide who shall go into
next years convention with united
force or broken forces in support of
a favorite son.
