Reply to Montgomery.

Editor Statesman: | would like
to reply to Mr.. Will T. Montgom'
ery's letter in Fridays estates.
ma D." in which he says, in refer.
ring to the State Wool Growers
association:
"I do not approve of the stand
taken by them, as they have never
been up against it like some users
of the range with not enough mon
ey to fight them in court"
Mr.. Montgomery evidently has
been crowded by his neighbor, and
is selfish enough to want the gov.
eminent to protect him against all
corners, and is not willing to take
his chances with other citizens of
this big country that ought to be
free for all alike
"No falling off OF business on &C
count of national forests" This
assertion is absurd. There is no
controversy over national forests,
but the so.called "forest reserves u
which are the great national
ranges.
Mr. Montgomery was favorite
with the supervisor; he had more
range last season than he could
use, while older range users were
thrown out without any considera
ton. Any policy or principle that
discriminates is un.American, and
should be condemned by all honest
Americans.
| have not made a single asser-
ton that | do not stand ready to
prove. And as further evidence
of how the people of Mountain
Home feel toward the forest reserve,
have here in my possession pc.
ition signed by 80 per cent of the
business men OF Mountain Home,
entering a vigorous protest against
The policy OF the forest reserve, on
the grounds that their business has
uttered loss since the enactment Of
this policy by the government.
These are plain facts which
speak louder than words, notwith.
standing Mr.. Montgomery's letter
70 the contrary. Is it not strange
TACT that Mr.. Montgomery's sigma.
lure does not appear on this peti.
ton? leave the public to draw
heir own differences.

APPLES WERE SOUR
But the Patrol Wagon Carried
 ihe Boys 10 inc SlaiioD.

Four boys had a ride in the patrol wagon from the Waterbury hospital grounds to the police station this morning. Their names are Joseph Thomas, John Demic, Tony Fiernon and Michael Novella. Two of them are 17 years of age, one of the others is IA and the other IS. They were detected picking sour apples that had fallen from trees on the grounds and inasmuch as the practice is objection able to the authorities it was decided to give the offenders a taste of the law. They had few crabs tucked away in bags which were so sour that one would have to shut his eyes and keep them closed while eating them, but that makes no difference. The youngsters had no business there and if the hospital folks push the case the boys will wish they had re- mained at home and bought fruit in- stead of trying to get it for nothing. They belong in Brooklyn and look like pretty decent fellows.

Lapointe drove ahead and ran over a three years old boy, son of Mrs Ellen Moore. The little fellow was knocked sprawling on the street and was cut in the chin. neck and shoulders. A physician was called in and Mrs Moore in the city court this morning said he told her he will not be able to tell for q few days If the child is injured internally. Lapointe said he was 6r:ring very slowly and did not sec the children in the street, and that when he heard a shout to pull up he did so.
 Flammia said that when he told Lapointe to pull up, Lapointe tal1 him the sidewalks were for the chill dren and the street for horses. Tso or three men testified against La I,ointe, while Lapointe had only his own testimony to fall back upon. He was charged with evading re- sponsibility after running over the child and he was fined $5 and costs. The maximum fine is $500 and costs.
