Forestry Problem Discussed.

In speaking of the forestry problem the
governor says:
THE forest reserves Of New Mexico are
all being resurveyed under the directions
of Mr.. Pinchot, the chief forester. When
ever there has been any controversy over
proposed boundaries a committee of resi-.
dents OF the territory has been appointed
by the governor. to act with a committee
appointed by the forest service In the set
Element Of such controversy. and 1 an
pleased to state that in every instance
satisfactory agreements have been en-.
tered into between the forest service and
the people of the territory.
New Mexicans are in favor Of the gen.
eral policy Of forest preservation. How
ever. when the forest reserves were frs,
established, there was some dissatisfac.
ton, especially in the sections of the ter.
ritOry where the inhabitants for more
than two centuries had used the land fol
grazing purposes. All cause for dissatis.
faction on the part of the people, az fal
as / know, has now been removed. and
believe that the harmony existing be-
tween the residents Of the territory and
the forest service will continue

APPEAL FOR STATEHOOD
PLEA MADE BY GOV. CURRY OF
NEW MEXICO,
Resurvey Of Forest Reserves Also
Referred to in Report to
Secretary Ballinger.

In his annual report to Secretary Bal
linger of the Interior Department. Gov.
George Curry Of New Mexico urges state
hood for the territory. He also speaks
on the work Of resurveying the forest
reserves under the direction OF Clifford
Pinchot, chief forester of the United
States, and says that New Mexicans are
in favor of the general policy Of forest
preservation.
He says in the report:
II again respectfully request. in the
name of half a million people. that you
lend your aid and influence toward secur-
ing statehood for New Mexico during the
coming session Of Congress. For more
than thirty years the people OF this ter
before Congress with data as to wealth,
population. moral and social conditions of
New Mexico and have asked to be ad-
mitted to full citizenship.
Wants Congress to Investigate.
I'VE have asked Congress to appoint
committees to visit the territory and in
vestigate conditions here. as we are sat
isf1ed that even those who have been OPP
posed to our admission would withdraw
their opposition If they could see the ter
ritory as 1t is today. We have a popula-
ton Of nearly half a million Of people.
the majority Of whom are descendants of
the Anglo-Saxon race; the balance are
Spanish-American citizens who are as
law-abiding and as good a people as ever
lived In any state or territory. They have
always been loyal to our country and to
our flag. We have more than $500. COG. 600
worth of property, and our resources in
the way of COAL timber, copper. fertile
lands and an excellent climate are at
tracing very desirable and substantial
class of people to this territory.
The leading political parties Of the ma
ton inserted special planks in their plat
forms during the last national conven-
tons. pledging themselves to the passage
Of statehood bills. and we certainly be-
lieve that the major portion Of the Amer
lean people are in sympathy with the
pledges made by their respective parties.
For these and many other reasons / re-
quest in the name Of the people of New
Mexico your assistance In securing state
hood for this territory during the coming
session Of Congress"

Fish Hatchery for Detroit.

We note from a Fargo. N. D., pa
per that through the efforts of Mr..
e. j. Weiser, vice president of the
First National Bank of Fargo, and
committee of business men of De-
troit. Mimi, prominent among whom
were A. F.. Anundsen and L. F. Bull
lis, all former Decorahians, a state
fish hatchery is likely to be estab-
lished at Detroit. The paper says
that Mr.. Weiser and the state fish
commissioners met the joint COM
mittee of the house and senate at
Detroit. and with the citizens of that
place went over the proposed site,
and they became so impressed with
the location that they reported the
bill favorably.
What amuses Decorahians is that
these gentlemen should especially
interest themselves in a fish hatch
cry. Neither of them ever caught a
fish in these parts big enough to
carry home.

THE ROAD BUILDING SEASON.

The season of road building is now
upon us, and we desire to enter a
plea for permanent work, and with
as little waste as possible by the
temporary patching which squan-
ders SO much of our public funds.
One Of the great handicaps to in
dustry in this country as compared
with Europe is the poor roads.
Only about 10000 of the 2,00O,-
600 miles of highways in the United
States have been in any degree i'm
proved.
The average cost of hauling pro-
duce TO market in this country is
25 cents a mile ton. In France
the average cost is IL cents a mile
a ton. Here is an enormous tax
to pay on the proceeds of every
farm.
When the good roads movement
first started, the tendency was to
build only magnificent macadam
roads along the trunk lines of high
way. In this way the beginnings
were made of a few great systems
of boulevards, on which autOmO-
bilists can now cross state 200
miles wide in six or seven hours
without trouble. This enables the
motorist to go as fast as the average
train, but it does little for the farm.
er.
What would be more practical
is to improve more highways by the
most scientifically constructed roads
of gravel or other material les:
costly than stone. With giver
amount of money great deal more
can be done. The ideal should be
not few splendid boulevards from
city to city, but a reasonably goot
road from every village to every
other village.

BuckneIl to Wrestle PecOy.

ID. A. Mcmillan of Decorah and
Manly PEGGY of Cresco have finally
come to terms and match has been
arranged between Young Gotch,' -
McMillan's favorite pupil, and Pc
coy. PEGGY to throw Gotch three
times in one hour of actual wrestl-
ing. The contest will take place in
the Armory Friday, April 30th.
Young Gotch weighs 200 pounds and
is a fast man. Some of his admir-
ers have very strong doubts as to
PecOy's ability to throw him at all.
A preliminary bout is being ar
ranged between Rink and Herdman
and If the deal goes through there
will be one of the liveliest amateur
bouts ever witnessed here.-Cresco

DEMOCRATIC ANARCHY.

Democratic politics at Washington
continue in a state of anarchy. In
the days of Grover Cleveland, the
party stood for certain policies of
be right or wrong, but the voter had
some idea, in case he voted for the
Democratic ticket, that the men he
supported would carry out certain
ideas if they got in.
During the recent election, lead
ing Democratic argument was the
abuses that had grown up in the
control OF the House of Representa-
tives. But when it came to organ
izing the present House, Speaker
Cannon was easily able to get all
the votes he wanted among the
Democrats, to offset the big defec-
tion of Republicans who favored
better representation of the people.
The Democratic party has always
protested against the evils of our
protective system. Yet where are the
Democratic representatives who are
not looking for protection for their
own districts, and a good liberal
slice of it, too? The only reason
why there are more protectionists
among the Republicans than among
the Democrats is that the states
where manufacturing industry is
most developed generally look out
that they send Republicans to Con-
gress. To make the Republican
party behave we'll, there needs to be
a vigorous and well handled opposi-
tion. AS things go, the Republicans
can do just as they please, knowing
that the Democrats will make far
worse errors.

Base Ball Tomorrow.

state university of Iowa will be
here. This is one of the strongest
college teams in the west, but Lu-

practice work and has one of the
best teams in years this season, so
that the game promises to be close
one. With an extra heavy schedule
ahead of them, Luther has realized
the necessity of hard work, and the
result will be shown when the two
old time opponents come together
tomorrow afternoon. The lineup of
l.. c. is as follows: Naeseth D, G.
