Mr. MondeII Refuses.

Mr. MoHdeu has refused 20 father the
bills, on the ground that they do not
meet with his approval On the other
hand. il is the understanding that Mr.
Nelson viii present the measures.
Mr. MoudeI was on the outs with the
former administration on matters of
public-Iand policy. and he was unspaTing
in his criticisms Of the work in the IN
terror Department of the late Ethan
Allen Hitchcock. He IS a strong House
organization man.
There are, as stated, six Taft -BaIliuger
conservation bills, one provides for a
classification of the public lands; an
other Iegalizes Withdrawals and provides
for further Withdrawals by the President;
a third bill reL-.es To water-power sites;
The fourth bin provides for the disposal
OF oil, phosphate, natural gas. and as
phaltum lands; and the fifth FOR the sale
Of timber on isolated tracts Of govern
ment lands.
The sixth bin pTOvi les for the leasing
Of coal lands on the public domain. Here
is what Mt MondeH, speaking generally
OF these bills. says:
81 am against the principle of most
Of these bills. and where I favor the
principle I am against the language and
the methods the bills use "a carry out
their ideas. Why, some Of the bills are
childish. It is assumed that We have
been sitting here these many years and
have been doing nothing about the land
laws. We have kept them up 10 date
and every law on the statute books is
excellent
Far from Conservation.
with regard 10 the timber-selLing bill,
it IS as far from a conservation bill as
il well can be. II is about as bad
measure as has been suggested for some
time. It proposes to allow a man 10 cut
off timber and then leave the land on
our hands. As il is now, We require a
man 10 buy the land and the timber. and
then he conserves the timber and pas
lures the land"
Mr. MondeH offered to introduce the
bills by request" but this offer was
refused by the Secretary Of the Interior.
An effort is now being made to get Mr.
MondelI TO introduce the bills without
attaching the phrase "by request 10
them.

HAS ANYBODY HERE SEEN
STRANGER!

Bailey and Foster Want to COmmHn.
icate With Man Who Hired Their
Horse.
Thursday stranger came into
Bailey and Fosters livery stable with
an old broken down buggy and spike
tailed horse and wanted to put up his
animal for few days. Friday the
man came back and wanted to hire
team to go to Waterbury. Bailey gave
him one of the best horses in the
stable, one of the big black pair, and
one of the best buggies they had in the
stable. The horse is valued at $3.50
alone and the buggy was almost a
new one.
Bailey went away Friday and did
not come back until last night and
as Foster did not know anything
about how long the horse had been
let for he had supposed it was all
right until Sunday night when Mr..
Bailey got home and found the rig
still out.
They telephoned to Waterbury and
no one has seen the RICH or the man
there and up to last night no trace of
him had been discovered. but it is
thought that he has gone across the
Canadian border by this time.
Henry Lawson claims to have seen
the fellow on Barre street Thursday
with another fellow, in the old rig
that they put off on to Bailey and
Foster, so it is thought that there are
two concerned in the business.
