 Another ground for potest against the eliminations is that ad- ministration by the Department of Agriculture has already resulted m great improvement to the water flow, or that unregulated grazing will result in polluted streams or serious damage to watershed. In some cases the increase in water supply which has followed Ma tional Forest administration is put as high as 25 per cent. To those who make this point Secretary Will son is replying that every effort has been made to safeguard water SUD- plies; that the eliminations pro- posed are only along the borders of the Forests. and the protection of water flow is recognized as a legit- innate reason for retaining brush land even though it is not likely ever to grow timber of commercial value. It is not denied that in some cases the elimination of pure ly grazing lands may possibly re- suit in a certain amount of stream pollution, but the Department of Agriculture holds it has no author ity to try to prevent this through National Forest administration of such lands In the main i. is be- lieved that the interests of water users have been we'll cared for in making the eliminations.

NATIONAL FOREST ELM
 NATIONS EXPLAINED
Grazing Lands Will be Eliminated from National Forests as Rap
 idly as Possible.

The protests which have been re- ceived in considerable number by the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture against eliminating from Ma tional Forests non-timbered lands chiefly valuable for grazing are re- garded by Secretary Wilson as in dicating that many communities fail to realize the limitations with in which the Department must act in carrying out faithfully the in tent of existing laws Most of the protests set forth the injury which it is feared may result from unreg- ulated grazing on the land to be eliminated. Since, however. the lands which 1t is proposed to elim- mate are neither forested nor re- garded as suitable for the future growing of trees. the Government has no authority to hold them as parts of the national forests after their actual character has been de- termined.
 The policy is to be pursued with regard to such lands as was recent ly agreed upon by the Secretary and of Agriculture. the Secretary of the Interior jointly and laid before the President. who gave it his ap- proval. This policy is not an inno- vation it is the same policy which has always been applied by the Forest Service in deciding where National Forest boundaries should be drawn. The reason why lands formerly included in National For ests are now being eliminated is to be found not in a change of policy, but in the fact that the actual con ditions were ascertained last year for the first time. through careful boundary examinations.
 The evils feared by those who are now making protests against the exclusion of the lands in question are usually of two kinds. In many places residents find themselves likely to suffer from an invasion of the range by outsiders. If the grazing is uncontrolled. transient stock may not only eat up the range but also deplete the range through overgrazing. to the loss and even the eventual ruin of the local stock owners. Although, Secretary Will son recognizes that this may be the case. he has pointed out to. those who make this argument that Gov ernment control of lands valuable only for grazing was not contem-

invaded congress with threats against

EVEN A MILLIONAIRE
| MAY Be COMMON VAC

Butte, Dec. 12.-(Special.)- )-Judge
Donlan, in the district court today. laid
down the new rule that even mil
lionaire may be vagrant and sent to
the county Jail. 1t came up on shabeas
corpus proceedings over Oliver Var
nell, John Smith and Harry johnson,
sent up from the police court as
'vags." 1t was shown that the men
had money and were not depending
on anyone for support. THE fact that
a man has money does not protect
him, is no defense against charge
of vagrancy," said the judge. "A man
may have million dollars in the bank,
wear the best Of clothes, have lots
OF diamonds and still be vagrant.
A man must have more than money;
he must have character and a good
reputation"
He denied the writ and the men Will
have to serve out their time.

"HoNEsr JOHN"

To bear out the contention Of The
Missou!ian that Great Falls was
Shanghaied into the Union league, the
following is quoted from the Leader:
Things in a Union league baseball
way are becoming warm. our old
friend Honest John McCloskey being
one OF the things Honest John re-
turned to Butte the other day from
flying trip to Missotlla and Helena.
and in an interview with the Butte
Evening News Is quoted as remarking
OF the two cities: I found the grass
two feet high in the streets; what
chance would we have in country
towns like that"
THE Missoulian comes back at
Honest John quite tartly, declaring
that II he was in Missoula no one
connected with baseball ever knew of
II, and Furthermore that no time has
that city ever hintcd desire to enter
into any baseball involving the ubiquit-
Gus Mr.. Lucas. Helena also cries
aloud anent that Lucas McCloskey
combination, SO Honest John takes a
poke at Helena, and Great Falls
awaits the visit Of the great man with
shivering. for even in Great Falls en-
thus;asm for the Lucas McCloskey
combination is only told In the deaf

COUNTY DIVISION
IN DAWSON
PEOPLE OF WisAUx PRESENT
ARGUMENTS 70 RESIDENTS
OF cLENpIvE.

Glendive, Mont, Dec. 12.-(Special)
Talk OF county division is rife In
Dawson eat the present time, the first
this county, which has territory equal
to five and half times the state of
Massachusetts. having been evolved in
the second city of the county-Wibaux
for presentation to the forthcoming
legislature.
The business men of sWibaux are
undoubtedly live ones. That they
mean business Is demonstrated by the
fact that they have accumulated a
war fund of $4,000 for carrying this
project through, and their assault on
the legislature will be no windmill
tilt Of modern Don Quixote.
1t has always been considered that
the first natural division of Dawson
county would be into east and west
- along the 106th parallel. There
fore the Wibaux proposition comes as
a surprise to many.
Briefly summarized the Wibauxites
do not claim that their desire for a
division originates in dissatisfaction
with Dawson county government, or
because of hardships affecting them
because of remoteness from the coun-
ty seat. They are primarily interested,
they say. in the formation of county
that will tie to Wibaux, as the county
seat, rich section of northeastern
Custer county. in and around Carlyle,
which section is naturally tributary to
Wibaux because of the topography of
the country; and they aver that. un-
less they secure this territory now. it
will Undoubtedly be added to a pro-
posed. new county to be carved out of
Custer, with Baker as the county seat,
and hence will be forever lost to
Wibaux. From this viewpoint, it is a
case of "now or never"
The strongest argument presented
for enlisting the support of Glendive
is that, unless this Carlyle country is
tied to Wibaux, 1t will become tribu-
tary to the Milwaukee instead Of the
| Northern Pacific: and .that Glendive
as the city of greatest Importance
and the future distributing point of
| this section of Montana, should be in
terested to see the trade diverted to
Wibaux rather than to Baker.
During the past few days, repre-
sentatives of four separate and dis
tinct county division schemes have Wis
tied Glendive and been given hearing
by the Glendive Commercial club
making this city. as it We're, the foca
point of all these controversies. One
Of these delegations came as petition.
ers for support-that from Wibaux;
three of them came as protestants-
they We're from Baker, Ismay ant
Ekalaka. Glendive seems to hold the
balance of, power. though the lower
valley must be taken into considera
tion as well.
No fully official expression of Glen
dive sentiment has been made, though
all indications point now to strong op.
position to any division.
AS far as can be learned, the lower
valley is opposed to division. Such il
the statement of j. F. Kemmis o
Sidney and j. p. Meadbrs of River

that the talk Gown there is all to thu
effect that the time is not yet rip
for any sort of division.

THE ALAMO.

In all the list of historically signifi-
none which possesses greater interest
than the famous Alamo at San An
tonic. where the Texans made their
brave stand against the Mexican
army. Texans are interesting them
selves in a plan to preserve this his
toric monument. Some parts Of the
building which are of recent construc-
tion are to be razed The state of
Texas now owns the property, which
stands in the heart of the city, facing
Alamo plaza. II is not proposed to
touch in any way the chapel building,
where the last stand was made by 1872
Americans under Colonels Travis,
Crockett and Bowie when Santa Anna,
three times, with five thousand troops
assaulted the Alamo finally hoistng
the Mexican flag when the last
ming of the battle, March s, 1886, CEN
tered around the convent part of the
old mission. This extended in a square
out from the chapel. The walls
crumbled after the several days bonn
bardment from the Mexican cannon.
Under Travis and Crockett, small
cannon possessed by the Americans
was traiped from these walls on the
Mexican infantry and cavalry. When
San Antonio was finally wrested from
the Mexican rule, the United States
government built UP the convent walls
partly by masonry. and partly by tim
ber and used il as commissary
warehouse. II is now proposed to
tear all this modern construction off
and reveal the ruins as they appeared
after the fall of the Alamo. The in
