Attacks Forestry Service in De.
bate With Hepburn

WASHINGTON, March 31.-After
having undergone many changes, the
paragraph OF the agricultural appro-
priztion bill relating TO the bureau of
forestry was finally passed by the
house OF representatives. MondelI of
wyoming and Smith of California con-
tinued their attacks on the bureau, and
in this they were supported by Bonynge
Of Colorado and Cosman of Washing
ton.
These embraced charges that the bu-
reau had created timber monopoIies in
favor or large corporations. illegally
assumed jurisdiction over water rights
belonging to the western states, and
juggled with figures in order to obtain
large appropriations from congress.
The work Of the bureau was vigorously
defended by Messrs. Hepburn of Iowa
and Scott of Kansas.
Bonynge of Colorado offered an
amendment providing that no part of
the appropriation shall be used by
either the secretary of agriculture or
the bureau of forestry in the enforce
ment of any regulation which pro-
hfbifs or attempts TO prohibit the cit
liens Of the states where the national
forests are located from appropriating
for beneficial uses the waters of the
national streams thereon according to
the laws OF said states and the statutes
of the United States"
Bonynge read from number of au-
thorities to show that the government
did not own the water of non-navigabie
streams. On the other hand, he de-
