Washington. Jan. 4.-This is the
story of the Ballinger-Pinchot row
It began with the refusal of Rich
ard Achilles Ballinger-within a few
weeks after he became secretary OF
the interior, on March 6 last-to
withdraw from entry certain small
portions of the public lands for So
called ranger sites, at the request or

in the role of Napoleon and the activ-

for the discrediting of the Taft re-
gime. It has engrossed the attention
of the cabinet, while important inter-
national affairs waited: preceded long
lists of distinguished personages with
important business on the engage
ment list of President Taft, and fl
nally. has halted congress in its busi-
ness of making laws.
Garfield Withdrew Lands.
In the last days of the preceding
administration, James r. Garfield, the
then secretary of the interior, by d.
rection of President Rooevelt, and
with the idea of preserving the pub
lie domain from monopolstic exploit
tation, had withdrawn from entry
vast tracts of land located along west
ern rivers, peculiarly adapted for
furnishing hydraulic electric power
During the last two weeks of March
1909. Garfield kept the midnight car

maps of western states, and staoolne

Wis. CLAWS had protested and asked
for time in which to complete his in
vestigation, and when he found his
protests unavalling he telegraphed to
Acting Law Officer Shaw of the for
est service. stating that there were
about zoo claims in the Chugach Ma
ional forest reserve, including the
Cunningham group, which were about
to proceed to trial and asking tho CO.
operation of the forest service.
on July 81, Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson requested Secretary Ballinger
not to fix dates for the hearing of
these claims until he could find out,
from the local forestry officers, the
full reasons for the request for post
ponement. A day later Law officer
Shaw of the forest service, called at
the general land office and request
ed that he be allowed to examine the
record in the cases, which was re-
fused. He reported the refusal to As
sociate Forester Price, who with
Shaw then called on Chief of Field
Service Schwartz of the general
land office. 1t was on this occasion
that the statement "Plnchot is try
ing to run the interior department.
was made. The forest service Off
GERS were finally allowed to see the
record-after certain papers were ta-
| ken out.
Special Agent Sheridan, after look
ing over CLAWS record of the cases
at Seattle, endorsed the recommenda-
ton for delay, and later Acting Sec
retary of the Interior Pierce granted
the request of the secretary of agri-
culture for a suspension of the hear
ing, but urged that the forestry in
yestigation of the claims be hasten
ed as much as possible.

in this situation that CLAWS journeyec
from Seattle to Beverly, Mass, las
summer and laid the case before
Presient Taft. The whole west b,
this time was ablaze with the discus

attending rival Conservation Con

POSTOFFICE NEWS
 OF VARIED KINDS
Postoffice Changes in Arizona and In-
 novations in the Service.

On July l the supervision of all mail i contracts on all stage lines (star | routes) in the United States will pass
 from the second assistant to the fourth
 assistant postmaster general and will
 be consolidated with the present rural free delivery service under what will be known as the division of rural mails.' This will affect the routes | running from Phoenix to Scottsdale Buckeye and Cave Creek, though in all probability the Buckeye route will be abolished about August 15 and a daily
 mail will be carried by train to Liberty, Buckeye, Palo Verde and Arlington. It is likely that two more offices will al so be established in that end of the valley, one little west and one a lit tie east of the Agua Fria river.
 It is probable also that the Scotts- dale route will be superseded early in
 the fiscal year by a rural route If some
 hustler will only build railroad to
 Cave Creek now, Phoenix will wipe out
 entirely the service of ye olden time,
 when it was all star route and mighty welcome at that.
 Another bit of postal news is that from this time forward the postoffice department will furnish on applica-
 tion by special order, l cent stamped envelopes used for the mailing of printed circulars.
 Another innovation the pOstoffice de- partment will put into effect on July l will be doing away with the money order advice. Under the present prac- tice for every money order written an advice IS sent the paying postmaster giving him information as to the iden- tity of the sender, payee, etc.
 In connection with these postOffice items it will no doubt interest the readers to know the names of the new postoffices established, discontinued and names changed in Arizona between June l, 1909, and June l, 1910, as fol- lows:
 Postoffices Established = Aguila.

THIRD SUPERVISOR
 IS YET UNCHOSEN
How a Vote Yesterday Was Neatly
 Side stepped.

Another day has passed and still there is a vacancy in the board of supervisors. Messrs. Hoghe and Orrue of the board and Probate Judge Phil lips met again yesterday afternoon be- fore crowded house. It was expected that the deadlock had been broken but it was found to be intact, though no vote was taken.
 Mir. Orme was still for w. K. Bowen of Mesa and Mir. HOghe had lost none of his loyalty to W. A. Moear of Tempe Judge Phillips manifested symptoms of reStlessness and these signs Were regarded by the friends of MT. MOear as bad. Judge Phillips said that the afternoon before when he had nominated a republican, he had had no expectation that the dem Ocratic members of the election board would compromise on him. It was plain that the new supervisor would be a deOcrat and in the circumstances he ought to be. The judge intimated that he was getting5s tired of coming to these sessions every day and that if his colleagues could not settle their troubles he would help.
 At this point, Charles Woolf of Tempe hurriedly suggested that inas- much as Messrs. Hoghe and Orme could not agree on either of the candi- dates named by them, they should take time to find one upon whom they could agree Mir. Woolf did not think it was right to put the burden of setting a democratic difference upon Judge Phillips, though the judge had hinted that that burden would soon be taken up voluntarily.
 But tine suggestion of Mir. Woolf brought with it relief to both Messrs. Orme and Hoghe and the matter of se- lecting a supervisor was continued until next Monday.
