Attack. Law Enforcement

While admitting itself helpless to ar rive at any substantial proof necessary to bring about an indictment of violat- ors, the Montgomery county grand jury in a report rendered to Judge Armstead Brown of the city court refers to tho prohibition violations in this city as fragrant and nourishing. without let or hindrance from those in authority"
 Immediately following upon this the grand jury springs a mild sensation by stating that there is a lack of co-opera- tion on the part of the police depart ment with the sheriff's forces, and urges that fair-minded citizens of Montgomery get back of the situation and bring about such harmony as will compel general cleaning out
 The report of the grand jury adds 30 h. dictments to the batch which was re- turned when a partial report was made nearly two weeks ago. Only a few whisky indictments were included, the jury ad- mitting It's inability to overcome the ob- staces in the way of thorough inves- tigation.

MCDONALD SEES GREAT.
future FOR The WEST

Jamestown, Feb. 1.-State Land
Commissioner Alex Macdonald was
north bound today to conduct school
land sales in Eddy and Foster coun-
ties. Should all the lands be sold,
these will be the last to be made
in those counties. 1t is not probable
that all will be disposed Of as there
are always few pieces that are not
considered worth the price asked.
There will not be land sale of
school land in this county for two
or three years.
A good many says will be made
in other counties OF the state how
ever in the near future as the prices
Of western lands are becoming high
err and approximating what the school
land board think the state lands are
worth.
The development of the state west
of the river will be rapid from now
on, is the opinion of the commission
er, due more to the better prices for
products than any increase in the
yield of crops. Twenty years ago
the yield of crops in the sparcely
settled western parts of the state was
about the same as in present years,
but the long distance Of markets
and the low prices made farming
profitless occupation. The recent
changes in transportation prospects
and conditions and the better prices
have greatly increased land values
and aided settlement.

Thinks Recent Western Land Grabs

Grand Forks Herald Story.

Editor Tribune: In the editorial
! in your issue of the 29th inst, you
state that the Grand Forks Herald
disagrees with me in reference to the
conservation of the resources of this
country. I do not know what that
paper has said in this connection, as
do not read it; but some interest
ed friend mailed me clipping, on
which was notated: "Grand Forks
Herald, 1-26-lO." If this is the ar
ticle to which you refer, wish to say
it does not rise to the dignity of a
disagreement. 1t contains a garbled
statement, and is uncouth and vul'
gar in the extreme. I am of the
opinion when a paper, which is sup
posed to represent state, stoops to
such practices, it is not entitled to
be mentioned.
Public questions ought to be dis
cussed in fairness and to the end
that better condition Of affairs may
| be brought about. Such language
as employed by the Herald will neith>
er add to or detract from the sub
ject, it merely displays the Ignorance
Of its author.
That the title to all public land is
in the federal government, no one
will question, and until it in some
manner parts with that title, it has
the sole right to prescribe the means
by which the same may be acquired.
Under the present law the federal
government, through it's executive Of
ficers, has segregated large tracts of
land from the public domain, in the
states of Montana, Idaho and Wash.
ington, and placed them in forest
reserves; and as I understand, this
| conservation policy was being ex-
tended. When land becomes thus
set apart, no title or ownership can
be acquired, and neither the state or
its citizens received any benefit from
it.
The question at issue is, is this an
injustice upon the citizens of those
states And does this injustice out
weigh the right of the general public
to dictate the method of preserving
our natural resources? That the
title to large tracts of land has been
acquired illegally by non-residents
and corporations, does not justify
the federal conservation policy, as
this only serves to proove non-en.
|forcement of law or incompetent in
depreciation of the same.
The federal government holds title
to this land as trustee for the bene,
fit of the people. and this is one of
the strong points of demarkation
between republic and a monarchy.

seekers had paid to his railroad for
fares, taking them to the registration
points. The senator believed that it
was an injustice to make anyone pay
such expenses to take chance in the
drawing, and so proposed to throw
it open to anybody who would make
affidavit in his home town and send
the letter by registered mail.
The amendment, however, was not
passed, and unless the house changes
the plan, the method so successfully
followed in the last few openings
will prevail in the next.
AS Judge Witten declared, when
the idea was preached last fall, the
postage stamp registration would
flood the land Office with such mass
of names that it would be almost i'm
possible to handle them. Hundreds
of thousands OF people would file
their names simply for the chance of
getting the first number and with no
intention at all of ever making a
home upon the claim. There Is
enough of this is done now, and with
out the expense of the trip, the num-
Der would be legion.
1t is pretty good evidence that the
applicant wants the land for home
when he will incur the expense of a
trip to one of the registration points
to leave his name in person, and by
the very cost it operates to eliminate
many of the careless and Indifferent
The next elimination is the require
ment that continuous residence be
made upon the land and in the end
the crowd is winnowed and the real
settlers finally arrived at and placed
upon the land. The process would
be infinitely more complicated with
the scheme the amendment proposed.
Senator Burket must have little
appreciation of cities like Aberdeen,
Bismarck and Pierre. This is what
he is quoted in the Congressional
Record, as saying:
Nevertheless, the condition was
notorious at those openings in South
Dakota, and it is not to be wondered
at. They are small places, probably
with only one constable or justice Of
the peace, and that is about the ex-
tent of the police power. They can
not handle these crowds and never
have handled these crowds. There
is not anyone who followed the news
papers or who knows anything about
it who does not know that they never
have been able to protect the people
fully who go there, and never will.
1t is impossible to do it,

Aberdeen American: Upon the In
itiative of the South Dakota delega'
ton in congress more of the Rose
bud land is to be opened to settle
ment and it will be opened upon the
same plan as that employed in the
allotment of winners in the reserva-
ton west Of Aberdeen last fall.
When the bill was up in the SEN
ate Senator Gore of Nebraska want
ed to change the plan of registration
and instead of compelling the peo'
pie to go in person to some one of
several registration points, tried to
have the measure amended so that
the registration could be made by
sending a registered letter to the
local land Offices.
The Nebraskan had read the story
which Louis Hill, president Of the
Great Northern railway, gave out
last fall, deploring the amount home

All public land should be subject to
equally we'll regulated provision,
which will prevent speculation and
monopoliZation, and at the same
time, permit the Individual citizen
to acquire title to a limited quantity
for home or from which to obtain
livelihood. All land that is not so
held except national parks and such
as is needed for immediate federal
use or occupancy, in my opinion,
ought to be transferred to the state
in which the land is situated. The
citizens of those states are more vi
tally interested than those of out
side states, and better qualified to
regulate the conservation Of their
own territory. | can not bring my
self to believe, that the people of the
state OF Montana or Washington
would permit these lands to be grab
bed up by spectators. The truth is
that the federal government has been
the agency through which all the
land grabbing took place; and the
conservation policy is a sort of atone
ment for past deeds. The tieing up
of these tracts of land, deprives the
state from getting any revenue; it
also prevents improvement and de-
velopment of the district. That be-
ing true, this burden is forced upon
the state and its citizens, and if any
just reason exists why they are not
entitled to regulate it, it is up to
the Grand Forks Herald to show it,
instead of indulging in slang.
Yours truly,
IT. F.. McCue.

Under the will he could legally

But Stennis insists upon relinqussA-
