habitation. The sheepmen ought to be
able TO control the ranges they occupy
and the man who prefers to grow cattle
should be able to continue in that bust
ness. If the public lands continue to
be left open, with many cattlemen, 1t
will soon be n question of changing 10
sheep or retiring from the range.
There is nothing SO helps a common
wealth as to anchor its people to the
soil. Nothing so contributes to It's de
velopment. No Uns wishes 10 improve
the range so long as everybody uses 1t.
In many places scarcity of water de-
stroys one-half the value of the grass.
If these lands could he ceased, so that
someone could have exclusive control,
windmllls would be built, wells dug,
storage reservoirs w5U,G be construct
ed. This cannot be done now, because
It would simply be inviting competl-
ton.
Lack of control of the and occupied
is an obstacle to the Improvement Of
focks or herds. The Jwne: uf bloodel
stock wants them enclosed IN summer
and fed in winter. The open range
IS one of the incentives to lawlessne5s
and thievery which does much 10 make
ranke stock growing Improbable. A
man will steal cattle or sheep off the
range who would not modest them III
side of an enclosure. Rustlers justify
their d]epredations by the argument
that the grass which raised the stock
stolen belonged as much to them ms
to any one else. They get local sym
pathy and support from the feeling
that there ought to be some public re-
turn for the privilege of free grass. II
every man leased the land he occupied
there would be no clash between sheep
men and cattlemen, nor between stock
men and settlers. 1t would end the evil
of nomadic hocks and herds, lessen tle
humber of nonresident stockmen aud
add immensely to the taxable and pro,
ductive wealth of every arid state"
A plan like the foregoing would aid
Albany county. 1t is along the same
lines as those suggested by Senator
Warren a year ago. 1t accords entirely
with the views of President Roosevelt,
The Burkett bill could be so amended
that 1t would fit the conditions. The
trouble lies in the fact that the oppo'
sition does not wish to accept tue
Burkett bill aud amend it or any other
ill providing for individual control OF
pasture lands. They want conditions
to be so that might and not right shall
be uppermOst.

Not Too High Priced

Some complaint has been made that
the price of water under the govern
ment ShoShone project-S45 an acre
is so high that settlement will be slow,
But when compared with other pro,
jects, where no better conditions eN.
list, we find the figures very reasonable,
The cost of land on the Umatilla
irrigation project in Oregon, the high
est priced of any of the government IT.
rigation projects, has just been fixed
by Secretary Garfield at $50 per acre
for water rights and 81 per acre per an,
mum.
TIN fact that privately owned raw
land in the immediate vicinity of the
project is selling for 500 per acre with,
ont water will give a good idea of tie
recognized value of the now nearly
completed project. With unwatersi
land selling at 500, the price asked by
the government for water rights-the
land having cost settlers practically
nothing-does not seem large.
At any rate all Of the public land
has long been settled, those who made
homes on it knowing at the time that
it would come high. The farm units
in some instances are as small as ten
acres and on public land do not in any
case exceed forty acres.-Cody Stock,

Highway of Human Perfection

~ N''S
Commenting on a recent editorial in
the Herald, Editor Chaplin of The Lar,
annie Republican argues most forcibly
that human nature Is it is presents 10
fit ground for socialistic growths and
that human %endeavor, in consequence,
will always be along competitive lines.
The Republican pointsto many attempts
TO establish and maintain ~socialistic
communities and a like number of fail
ures, always from the same cause, 20
wit: Selfishness. And the Herald
would fain agree in The Republicans
conclusions, yet hope hat the public
conscience may be awakened and the
public clamor be made so strong as TO
lead to much better conditions than We
now have. We look upon socialism in
its purity, as an almost ideal condition
and fitted for a race whose ambitions
are to reach the ideal, but inapplicable
in its entirety to humanity as it is.
However, let us not cease to lop off
here and there as We may and rendsr
conditions as nearly endurable as pos
sible, not forgetting that we grow into
the likeness of the thing we strive for.
So will humanity and its environment
go hand in hand to the broad highway
of human acknowledgements

THE RANGE PROBLEM

the least hardship and protect all in
t~erests involved. l know that it will be
claimed that this is giving too much
rover to one man, viz, h secretary OF
agriculture; but he already has as
great, If not greater, power over the
livestock interests of the country AMI
in no instance has that power beer
abused. / will admit there have been
r stances where through misinforma'
ton by some of its subordinates, the
department has appeared to be in op'
position to the best interests of the
stockman, but after a full knowledge
of the matters in controversy, / believe,
without exception the rulings of the de
partment have been uniformly just
and equitable and in the best interests
of the stockmen themselves. This is
now so well known to the stockman
That when he feels aggrieved at any
acts of subordinates in the field, ne
at once appeals to headquarters,
through the proper channels, knowing
that equal and exact justice will be
done him.
A Safeguard.
Even If the secretary were to be
arbitrary, which no one believes for a
moment, we could appeal to IL sen
ators or congressman, to take the mat
ter up with the secretary. If they fail.
ed, the president himself could be ap-
pealed to.

matter started and in a fair way for
settlement, while we have as broad
gagged a secretary as at present, and
especially while we have a man with
eastern conservatism and western N
ergy and progressiveness in the White
house. Then, if mistakes are made,
they can be rectifed at once and not
require years of congressional delay
and pickering.
The Widest Latitude.
Il would have the law passed by con.
gress give the secretary of agriculture
the widest latitude. l would have it
simply turn the grazing privileges,
without any restrictions (save such
as would keep the present land laws
effective) allowing the secretary, if in
his wisdom he thought best, to call
in western men from the different 10
~calities to aid and assist him in formal
lating rules such as would best protect
all interests. These rules not being
laws, but having the same effect, could
be changed at any time as soon al their
execution showed where they were de-
fective."

Like the Burkett Bill.

Singularly enough, the Burkett bill
now before congress-, is not dissimilat
to the plan presented by DR.. Wilson.
DR.. Wilson advocated that the grazing
areas be turned over to the department
of agriculture; SO does the Burkett bill,
DIR. Wilson advocated that the widest
latitude be given the secretary OF agri-
culture; the Burkett bill restricts that
latitude to a wonderful degree by plac-
ing large power in local boards COM
posed of stockmen appointed by the
governors of states. DR.. Wilson would
collect no more than sufficient to meet
the expense of administration. While
the Burkett bill provides that ten per.
cent shall go to the states in which
fees are collected, the president advo
Gates that no more than the cost of
administration shall be collected. The
bill could doubtless be amended to meet
the views of the president and of those
western men who favor that all sur
plus shall go to the states. Other tri-
fling features of an Objectionable I'd.
ture could certainly be changed. For
the first draft, the Burkett bill squares
very nicely with the views expressed
by DR.. Wilson.
Strong Editorial Endorsement.
On the day following the delivery Of
DR.. wilson's address before the stock
mems convention in Denver, the Chey-
n n Daily Leader gave the plan the
strongest kind of endorsement, as fol

a large portion of the country. Just
at present the man with such an idea
Is DR.. j. NJ. Wilson of Douglas, of the
state board of sheep commissioners.
For nearly twenty years. but more
especially during the past decade, the
range question has been recognized rs
perhaps the greatest problem that the
west has had to deal with. Nine
tenths of all the disputes and TRACE
dies OF the stock country have started
with quarrels over the public grass.
Men have fought over what they be-
.lieved to be theirs, although they knew
that they could never C a title
to what they claimed. In the eyes OF
the law, the open range was no mans
land-in the eyes of the ranchman It
was his by 2 certain sort of mutual tol-
erance.
The problem became so grave a
couple of years ago that President
Roosevelt sent three of his most trusG-
ed advisors to the inter-mountain coun.
try to investigate conditions. They
came and saw and made their report,
and there, practically, the matter end
ed. Many schemes nave been suggest
ed for the handling of the public lan1s
belonging to the government which
the o~riginators declared would be &C
ceptable to both the stockmen n the
federal authorities. In every case the
plan has some fatal defect. 1t might
uFprlr wa11 IN nnA ~rnptipn and no canal
ly disastrous in another. All fear
ed legislation by congress on the sub
ject, well knowing the fact that shout ]
an unwise law be passed at Washing
ton, untold hardship might result to
the western stockman before it could
be repealed.
A Moses Appears.
Or. Wilson has studied the question
for years. Familiar with every phase
of the stock business from Oregon to
New Mexico, he has at last evolved a
plan which has received the positive
approval of all who have investigated
it. 1t involves the transfer of the
grazing lands of the country from thu
jurisdiction of the secretary of the
interior to that of the secretary nj
agriculture, and proposes that the lat,
ter department be given power, where
it sees fit, to lease the government
range to the StOckmen. The doctor
urges no radical reform and believes
that the secretary of agriculture
should make experiments in certain
sections before making any general
change in the existing conditions"
His Position Reversed.
1t is the understanding of The Re
publican that DR.. James NJ. Wilson now
occupies a position absolutely antago,
nistic to any king of federal range con-
troll and has squarely reversed his po-
sition at the Denver stockmen's con-
y~ention in 1905. His remarks at the
recent sheepmen's convention in this
city and at the subsequent meeting at
Helena clearly indicate this, and his
vote for resolutions opposing n kind
of federal control and ~denouncing pa.
pers hat expressed favorable opinion
leaves no room to question his position
at the present writing.
Two years ago The Republican COM
mended the wisdom of the doctor, but
as he is on record condemning Us for
standing for hat wisdom we can hard
ly follow him now.

Mistakes of Miners.

The principal reason why SO many
promising mining enterprises fail to
yield the rich returns anticipated is be-
cause they find and follow what are
known among expert mining men as
secondary" ore shoots, which are
but the offshoots or ~outcroppings of an
original ore body which is almost
certain to exist somewhere in the vi
cinity, and fortunate indeed are the
prospectors who encounter it, for then
