BIG BATTLESHIP PLANNED
Navy Department Wants to Build
Vessel of $4,000 Tons, Carrying
Eight F-Ourteen-Inch Guns.

WASHINGTON Jan. 6.-Plans have been
outlined by the navy bureau of construc-
ton for a great battleship of 5000 tons, de-
signed to carry eight 14-inch guns. This
fact became known tonight through the
making public of testimony given before
the house committee on naval affairs sew
eral weeks ago by Rear Admiral Capps,
chief constructor.
No indication has been given yet that
such a battleship will be authorized. but
that there is in the minds Of the officials
of the department the possibility of ask
ing for an appropriation for a ship of
larger type than the Dreadnought type Is
attracting attention among members of
congress.
Representative Foss OF Illinois. chairman
of the naval affairs committee, endeavored
to learn whether any appropriation would
be required this year for the construction
OF a larger ship than has been built here
t%ofore, should the construction of such a
ship be authorized by congress.
He specified a ship of $1,000 tons and
Admiral Capp's office replied tina his bu-
reau has outlined plans for such a ship
and would need an appropriation this year
to the work of construction.
Admiral Caps said that IL Pinch guns
should be adopted for such a ship. twelve
of them coulu be installed, but this would
require a displacement of 5000 tons. TIL
largest vessels thus far authorized have
only ten 12-lnch guns.
The speed of the new battleship would
be from twenty and q quarter to twenty
and a half knots under trial conditions
according to Admiral Caps. There are
four ships in course of construction Of the
10000 tons class, which are the largest evei
authorized for the American navy.

FOREST RESERVES TO STAY
Government wins Case Against Cat
tlemen Who Attack Validity
of the Act.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 6.-The United
States government today won its case in
defense of the constitutionality of forest
reserves. when Judge Lewis, in the United
States district court, handed down a de-
cision in favor of the complainant in the
case of the United States against Fred
Light ct al. The case involved the right
of the department of forestry to charge
grazing fees and was regarded as of the
utmost Importance in the west.
The case was brought shortly after the
decision of the forestry department to
charge a fee for grazing on forest lands,
Cattlemen of Colorado determined to test
the right of the government to make such
charges. In order to bring a test case
several men of the Cattlemens' associa-
ton refused to pay the fee, Fred Light and
several others on Battlement Mesa and
Holy Cross reservations being chosen to
stand for the cattlemen. The government
brought suit in equity to compel payment.
The constitutionality Of the forest re-
serves was the most important question
involved. The point that there was a con-
flict between state and federal laws was
also brought up. Had the decision been
against the government the whole system
of grazing fees would have been defeated
and cattlemen would have gone on the re-
serves without charge. The case, it is
said, will be appealed to the United States
supreme court.

the meeting of the Iowa Sheep Breeders
association. The entries for the corn show
are filling rapidly and indications point to
a greater showing of high class corn than
has ever been gathered together before in
Iowa. The liberal premiums which are be-
ing offered are largely responsible for this.
These amount to $4,000 in all, and consist
Of machinery, live stock and silos. One of
the most attractive prizes is the new trophy
offered by Mr.. John ~Sundberg, president
of the Corn Growers association. This will
be given for the best ten ears of corn ex-
hibited by a boy or girl between the ages
of IL and II. This trophy is in the form
or a golden ear of half husked corn, set
in a beautifully engraved cup. That this
trophy Is doing a great deal to interest the
boys and girls is shown by the great num-
Der OF entries being made in these classes.
