SHERIDAN. Wyo. April 6.-The ex-
treme conservation plans OF the secre-
tary OF the interior are severely criticised
by the people OF Wyoming. In Sheri-
dan county alone about forty-six town
ships have been classified as coal lands
and withdrawn from public entry. Peo-
pie OF this section are anXiously looking
forward 10 the passage Of the Mondell
surface rights bill, which VIII 10 an ex-
tent give relief. Should the Conserva-
t!on measure fostered by the administra-
tlon pass. and the surface rights bill
be sidetracked. II is possible that this
section OF the country Will be the suf-
fsrer for the next ten years or more.
as II will preclude the taking up of
homesteads only as the president or con-
gress determines that certain sections

the Tongue river country experts of the

gas and oil existed. Within the past
few months local men put down a we'll
more than 800 feet, striking both gas
and high grade Illuminating oil Imme-
diately slcuths Of the government took
up the matter. and now It is possible
that a vast section OF the Sheridan dis
trict will be classified by the depart
ment as gas and oil lands. taking
away the right for homestead entry.
Thus II can be seen how development OF
the country will be retarded should the

BRIGHAM CITY, April e.-Prospects
for record breaking fruit crop In this

are now. Regardless OF the cold weather
of the past few days. the buds OF the
peach tree are still safe and sound. II
seems that the buds have withstood the
test Sunday night and early Monday
morning the thermometer registered be-
low freezing, all day Monday and Mon
day night being very cold. Fruit grow
ers were very uneasy, fearing everything
would freeze. as the buds were far ad-
vanced An investigation, however,
showed that the buds were not injured
In the least. Reports TO this effect were
heard from all parts OF town. and from
the great peach belt directly south OF
Apricot trees are out in full bloom all
over the city. and II the present warm
weather lasts another few days, the en-
tire city Will be a vcritable flower gar

A prominent fruit grower. one familiar
with conditions here in past years; eN-

Will be a record breaker In the produc-
tion of the famous Brigham peaches,
his only fear being that insufficient help
TO handle the crop Will be drawback.
However. when the dangers OF frost are
past. the fruit growers VIII likely take
steps toward relief In harvesting the
crop next fall

the past two or three years this valley

er OF the valley stated the other day
that the Bear River valley would pro-
duce more than 100, 900 bushels OF apples
