h INSCRIPTIONS and that 1t was no
crime to violate or circumvent the
land laws. 1t is to be regretted that
we, as a nation, were so tardy to real
ize the Importance of preventing so
large a measure of Jul natural re-
sources passing into the hands of land
pirates and spectators, with no view
to development looking to the national
welfare.
Must Continue Prosecutions.
1T may be safely said hat millions
Of acres of timber and other lands
have been unlawfully obtained, and it
is also true hat actions to recover
such lands have in most instances long
since been barred by the statute of
limitations. The principal awakening
to wasteful course came under
our predecessors administration. The
bold and vigorous prosecutions of land
frauds, through Secretaries Hitchcock
and Garfield, have restored a salutary
respect for the law, and the public
lance of safeguarding the further dis
position of our natural resources in
the public lands in the interest of the
public good as against private greed
Notwithstanding this, it is necessary
to continue with utmost vigor, through
information of violations of the public
land laws and to follow such viola
lions with rigid prosecutions.
Use Private Enterprise.
ION this present policy Of conserv-
ing the natural of the pub
lie domain, while development is the
keynote, the best thought of the day
is not that development shall be by ma,
tiOnal agencies, but that wise utiliZa-
ton shall be secured through private
enterprise under national supervision
and control. Therefore, if material
progress is to be made in securing the
best use of our remaining public
lands, congress must be called upon
to enact remedial legislation"

cation of public lands, and the fea.

The Reclamation Service.
Concerning the reclamation service,
the report says in part:
I'm view of the Importance of a
speedy completion of existing projects
and their proper extension, and of the
necessity in 1912 Of an adjustment be,
tween the states by which the major
portion of the funds arising from the
sale of public lands within each state
and territory shall have been ex-
such state or territory. and in view
of the Importance of making a bene-
fetal use of waters already ap-
propriated or capable of %appropria,
ton to which rights may be lost
for nonuse, l believe an urgent ap-
peal should be made to congress to
authorize the issuance of certificates
of Indebtedness, or of bonds against
the reclamation fund. to an aggregate
of not exceeding $50, 600, 900, or so
much thereof as may be needed"
Energetic reorganization of the In
dian bureau is IN progress, Jays Mr..
Ballinger. and he recommends that
the Indian warehouses at New York,
Chicago, Omaha, st. Louis and San
Francisco be closed as scon as pos.
sible. A more advanced policy re-
specting the maintenance, improve
ment and operation Of the Yellow
stone and Yosemite national parks is
urged IN the government.

Ranks Second.

Washington, Nov. According
to the records of the technologic de-
partment the Cherry mine disaster
VIII rank second greatest in this
country. Only that at Monogah, West
Virginia. in which $50 miners lost
their lives, furnished a greater death
list.
1t was stated at the department
that the death rate or miners in the
United States until 1908 increased
faster than the production of coal.
During 1907, 5000 men persisted in
mine disasters. That year congress
appropriated $4,000 for the educa-
tional experiment work among miners
and after a years work along these
lines the fatalities in 1908 were
2,450.

when Chief James Collins, OF the
police department, donned his new
winter uniform this morning the first
thing he did was 10 issue an edict for
the protection of horses during the
cold weather. The touch Of cold
weather when he arose brought this
to his mind and every patrolman was
instructed to arrest all owners OF
horses who failed to blanket the
animals standing for any length Of
time. Chief Collins said especially
hack drivers were warned TO cover
their horses at nights when not drlv-
ing or they would be "pinched."
