pending submission TO congress OF
recommendations as to legislation to
meet conditions or emergencies az
they arise.
One of the most pressing needs
in the matter of public land reform
10 that lands should be classified
according to their principal value or
use. This ought to be done by that
department whose force is best
adapted to that work IL should be
done by the interior department
through the geological survey. Much
OF the confusion, fraud, and conten-
ton which has existed in the past
has arisen from the lack OF an
official and determlnative classifi.
cation of the public lands and their
contents.
II Is now proposed to dispose OF
agricultural lands as such and re-
serve for other disposition the
treasures of coal. oil. asphaltum,
natural gas and phosphate contained
therein This may he best accom-
plished by separating the right to
mine from the title to the surface.
giving the necessary use of so much
of the latter as may be required
for the extraction of the deposits.
The surface might be disposed OF
as agricultural land under the gen.
eral agricultural statutes, which the
coal or other mineral could be
disposed of by lease on "A royalty
basis. with provisions requiring
certain amount of development each
year; and in order to prevent The
use and excession of such lands
with others with similar character
as to constitute monopoly forbid.
den by law, the lease should contain
suitable provision subjecting a for.
feiture to the interest of persons
participating in such monopoly. Such
law should apply to Alaska as well
as to the United States.
II is exceedingly difficult to frame
q statute to retain government con-
troll over property to be irvcl-
oped by private capital in such
manner as to secure the govern
mental purpose and at the slme
time not frighten away the invest.
ment OF the necessary capital
Hence, it may be necessary by laws
that are really only experimental
to determine from their practical
operation what Is the best method
of securing the result aimed at.
The extent of the value of phos-
phate is hardly realized, and with
the need that there will be for /.

The present land statutes were
enacted more than quarter of a
century ago The homestead act. the

the coal land and the mining acts
were among these The rapid dis
position of the public lands under
the early statutes. and the lax meth.
DDS OF distribution prevailing, but.
| think, to the belief that these
lands should rapidly pass into pri.
yate ownership. gave rise TO the
impression that the public domain
was legitimate prey for the unscru-
pulous and that it was not contrary
to good morals TO circumvent the
land laws. This prodigal manner of
disposition resulted in the passing
of large areas of valuable lands and
many Of our national resources into
the hands of persons who felt little
oi no responsibility Tor promoting
the national welfare through their
development The truth is that title
TO millions of acres of public lands
was fraudulcntly obtained. and that
the right to recover large part
OF such lands for the government
long since ceased by reason Of stat
utes OF limitation.
There has developed in recent
years u deep concern in the public
mind respecting the preservation
and proper use of our natural re
sources. This has been particularly
directed toward the conservation of
the resources of the public domain.
The problem is. how to save and
how to utilize, how To conserve and

BENSON DRY FARMERS
PLANTING PINK BEANS
MOISTURE GOOD FOR AN EXTRA
SIX INCHES IN DEPTH WITH
THE PROPER WORK.

Planting is now being done in
what appears to be a determined
movement toward dry farming on the
mesa southwest of Benson, in Co
chise county, where about 10000
acres of government land lies vacant
and unclaimed. and which has been
designated by the department of the
interior as coming under the provi-
sions Of the 32O-acre homestead act.
Pink beans are being planted and
Messrs Loring ana Kline are putting
in thirty acres of them. Sometime
before commencing to plant they
fenced in both their homesteads under
one fence, making a complete section
of smooth mesa land and plowed 50
acres Of it. As the ground is loose
loan, they plowed it but six
inches deep.
At the time of blowing ii was dry,
but the first good rain wet it a foot
deep and the next one soaked down
twenty inches. At last report the
unplowed land was wet down only
fourteen inches.
Since the summer rains began, wild
grass sprang up and is growing very
rapidly.

miles from Mesa in the mountains.
They had taken their shoes off so
they would be able to get into the
water and push the boat over shallow
places.
They tied their feet in rags and
picked their way over the rocks and
mountains to Mesa The only food
they had was what they could get
from the Indians along the route,
mostly melons and the like. They

Jose Costa. was bitten on the face
by dog that was supposed to have
been mad. That there may be no

mite determinations whether the ami
NAL was afflicted with rabies. the
head Of the dog was cut from its body
by DR.. Swetnam and sent TO this city

The head was brought in yesterday
