p,NcHor's FOREST POLICY.
He Believes II viii BE Indorsed When
Understood.

WashinSton.-Chief Forester Clifford
Pincho, OF the Department of Agricul-
ture has had his attention called to an
article in the Pocatello tldaho) Trib-
une to the effect that he has notified
President Roosevelt that hereafter he
would not make punching bag OF
himself ard would decline most re-
spectfully. but still firmly. to further
attempt to defend the governments
forest policies in public debate.
Mr.. Pinchot says Of this item that
the exact contrary is true, and adds:
For several years have sought op-
pOrtunities to meet western people at
public meetings and discuss with them
freely all questions at issue between
them and the forest service. in order
to reach wise and true conclusions.
Nothing that have ever done has
yielded such good returns in The way
Of improvements in the service and bet
ter understanding of the governments
forest policy on the part OF the people.
In the course OF the work /, is true
that hal to meet attacks Of all kinds,
some fair and open. some otherwise.
But have found almost invariably that
western audience wants the truth.
and knO IS the truth when The truth is
presented to ii.
Il believe the present acreptanc" of
the forest policy throughout the West
is largely due to the fact that the mem
bers of The forest service have ever
been willing to take up the questions
involved publicly, with those most con
ccrned in having them settled in the
right way. So far from having notified
the President that proposed to diScon-
| tinue meeting the people of The western
! ST. | IN IpS f,n 10
excellent results these meetings have
had. and that ! was planning for fur

| them face to face any dffer-
ences we may have. any method that
they or | can suggest for making the
national forests more useful to them,
and any shortcomings in the forest pol
/ icy or its extension.
! Unless the western people approve
/ the forest policy II can not succeed.
| Unless they know exactly what it is
they can not approve II. Unless we of
! the service know where II falls short
We can nor devise and put in operation
the necessary improvements. Taken
altogether. there is scarcely any other
. single thing which does so much good
MS public meetings for open discussion.

Bands Of Wild Horses.

Denvcr.-According to reports com.
ing from the plains several efforts have
been made to capture three bands of
wild horses that are said 10 be feed
ing In the neighbOrhood of Kit Carson.
Among the group that runs Wild twenty
miles nor.h of the town are said to be
II powerful horse and an equally hand
some mar. that would make team
worth about $500. A huge sorrcl stall
lion with blazcd face. tail that
reaches to the ground. and n heavy.
flowing name. Is the leader of the band
and Is sail TO be so wary that up to
date any attempt to run down any
member Of the group has resulted in
failure. Whenever n man appears
on the horizon the stallion sounds the
alarm and starts the band off in the
other direction. led by n small roam
broncho The stallion himself brings
up the rear. Swapping at the mares to
make them run faster. and IL too hard
pushed ne will stride of by himself.
The country where this band roams
Is kno wn as the Little and Big Springs
section. and the farmers in that vicin-
ity are watching their own horses
closely to keep them from joining the
wild ones. A domesticated horse is
often coaXed away by a band Of wild
ones and In few days Is just as wild
as the rest.
There is said to be another band led
by big brown stallion. about twenty
miles south of Kit Carson. and n third.
led by bay, not quite SO far of. Some
of the horses have brands, while 9th.
ers have not.
