WALsH's WRATH BouNDLEsS
Denounced in Unmeasured Terms
What He Called "0bnoXious
System Of Surveillance
Termed Land Grazing and Forest Re-
serve system Patcrnailsm
Conc Mad.

Helena. Jan. 14-The first days scs-
sion of the annual convention of the
Nationa. Wool Growers association was
characterized by most bitter trade
against the government regulation or
the public range by Thomas j. Walsh
Helena stockman, lawyer, and late
Democratic candidate for Congress.
whose wrath apparently knew no
bounds at the action of the adminlstra-
ton in putting into effect what Is
known as the license system OF grazing
upon forest reserves.
The attendance at the convention is
very large, the greatest, in fact, in the
history of the association. After in
vocation formal addresses of well
come were made by GOV Toole, Acting
Mayor Lindsay and President Pickett
of the Commercial club, the respondent
being uttered by Frank j. Hegenbarth
of Spencer, Ida. The usual committees
were appointed, followed by the annual
address of Western Vice President VIII
son of Douglas, Wyo., who congratulat-
ed the association upon prosperous past
and bright future OF the Industry.
wALsH's SPEECH.
Mr.. Walsh then addressed the con-
vention. He said:
Notwithstanding the vigorous pro-
test of the people most directly con-
cerned, expressed in various ways and
emphatically through the public lands
convention held in Den rlast June, no
wavering has been no.-.cd in the de-
termination reached by tae national ad-
ministration to bring under Its con-
troll by legislation the privilege OF
grazing upon the public domain. The
protest of the people served. apparent
ly, only to strengthen the purpose to
impose upon them the obnoxious sys-
TEN of government surveillance a
campaign was inaugurated TO impress
the public mind with the conviction
that opposition to the contemplated
measure for Issuing licensese for graz
ing privileges was an evidence of par
ticipation In or palliation OF the fraud
ufent absorption of the pebble, domain,
and the charge was made by innuendo
that the opponents of the proposed Leg
islation were either land thieves or
their apologists.'
He asserted that efforts were making
to befog the public mind on the real
| issues and held that the policy of forest
preservation was not at stake. He said
| the people OF the west had gratefully
accepted Roosevelt's ministrations. but
they felt they knew better what is for
| their own good than does he or any de-
| partmental clerk. He asserted that II
| was paternalism gone mad TO charge
| that the cattlemen did not know their
| own interests and described as a dis
| trust OF the people every argument adj

OBITUARY

Jessie e. DeVoe passed away Oct. 8,
1908 at the home Of her father B. r.
DeVoe near Kenosha, Wis. She was
born Oct. 10, 1884 at Milwaukee and
received her education there.
She gave up a position in that city
to remove with her parents to Kenosha.
Later She completed a course in
whistling at the Auditorium, Chicago
and in this profession was received
with favor by audiences in various
cities and gave much pleasure to he1
friends. She had been in poor health
for ten months and through it all was
very patient, never complaining.
She was confined to her bed less than
a week and her death came as a shock
to her nearest friends We are glad
to know that her will was lost in the
higher will and she was willing to go.
