Will DISTRIBUTE
THROUGH FARGO
P. o. DEPARTMENT HAS NAMED
FARGO AS DISTRIBUTING POINT
FOR MAeAzlNEs-To BE SHIP
PED HERE BY FAST FREIGHT
AND THEN NAILED OUT.

Postmaster Plumley has received no.
tice from the postoffiee department al
Washington that Fargo will be one of
the cities in the United States select
ed for the distributing center for mag
azines.
The great bulk Of magazines will be
shipped to Fargo by fast freight from
the publishing houses in the cities of
the east. From the local freight yards
they will be taken to the Fargo post
Office and mailed out Of here to their
respective cities as designated.
Bids will be received next Friday by
Mr.. Plumley from draymen to haul
the magazines from the freight yards
to the local postoff1ce. From the ten
ure OF the order 1t would indicate that
the monthlies will be of such bulk that
the task Of transportation would be a
gigantic one.
The first move OF the government
was to establish very few centers for
distribution and only place them in
such cities as Chicago and Philadel-
phia. The notice that Fargo will be
placed upon the map as a distribut-
ing center for magazines will be re-
ceived with interest by the boomers
Of the gate city.

GRAZING CONDITIONS
UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT

grazing regulations but the constitu-
tionality OF the entire national forest
policy was challenged on every ground
which the counsel representing the
stock interests and the state were able
to raise, The fact that their conten-
tions were, one after the other, set
aside by cIear-cut statements Of the
law is matter Of extreme satisfac-
ton to me. / nevertheless believe that
the stockmen who have so vigorously
contested the governments position
viii feel that they have been fairly
dealt with, both my the department
and the courts.
In the second case. known as the
Grimaud case. the contention of the
stockmen was that the act of congress,
under which the secretary of agricul-
ture Is authorized to make regulations
for the national forests. was uncon-
stitutional in so far as 1t delegated to
the secretary Of agriculture the power
to make rules and regulations and
make violation thereof penal Of
Tense. The unanimous decision Of the
case is exceptionally clear-cut and
final. The power Of congress to auth
orize the secretary to establish such
regulations for the administration OF
these forests Is absolute. the court
holding that congress had the full
power to authorize the secretary to
make these regulations and enforce
them. The punishment was fixed by
congress and the secretary's reguIa-
tions merely provided the methods of
enforcing the law and, in the event of
its violation. Of applying the penalty
fixed by the law. AS the court in it's
decision says, the secretary is author
lied to regulate the occupancy and
use and to preserve the forests from
destruction A violation of reasonable
rules regulating the use and occupancy
OF the property is made a crime, not
by the secretary. but by congress. The
statute, not the secretary, fixes the
penalty
Il feel very certain" the secretary
stated, NOW that these questions are
so definitely settled, that we shall have
no further trouble in regulating the
use Of national forest ranges by live
stock. Indeed we have had very little
for some time. because the stockmen
themselves, although originally inclin-
ed to resent the interference Of the
government with their long and un-
controlled use of the lands now within
these forests, have, recently, accepted
the situation and are rapidly realiz-
Ing that their occupancy Of these
grazing lands is vastly more satisfac-
tory under present conditions than it
was in the old DAYS when these areas
were open to all Corners and it was a
constant struggle to obtain feed for
their herds"

Washington, June 3.--The decisions
handed down by the supreme court, on
May !, concerning the right Of the
government to control grazing on the
national forests are of great interest
TO western people, and especially to
the western stockmen The right OF
the government to control It's own
lands within the various states and
territories Is so clearly defined that it
ID regarded by Secretary Wilson as
establishing absolutely the position
these lands occupy under the law. IT
am very sure" said Secretary Wilson
today, that the stockmen of the west,
as well as the western people generally
Will accept this decision Of the supreme
court at it's full worth and that the
controversy which has heretofore ex-
listed regarding the right to use the
grazing lands within the various ma
tional forests without permit from the
department OF agriculture will be
brought to an end.
The two cases decided were the So
called Light case, which originated In
Colorado, and the case Of the United
States against Grimaud, Caratous, and
linda, three California stockmen. In
the Light case one Of the principal is
sues Joined was on the question
whether the fence laws Of the state
must be complied with in order that
the United States might sustain action
for trespass on the national forests.
The California case concerned the
question whether violation of the ma
tional forest regulations is punishable
as a crime.
Light is Colorado stockman, who,
In 1906. turned his cattle loose on pub
lie land adjacent to the Holy Cross
National forest in such a way that they
would naturally drift upon national
forest lands. Mr. Light refused to
take any steps to prevent this and also
refused to take out grazing permit.
1t was maintained by Lights lawyers
that, inasmlch as the laws of Colo
RADIO do nos allow private person any
remedy against owners of stock which
stray upon his land unless the land is
fenced, the government is without re-
dress. An Injunction was secured
from the district court requiring Mr..
Light to so handle his stock as to pre-
vent them from trespassing upon the
national forest. Mr.. Light, however.
refused to do this and with the back
ing of other stockmen of his state
and, eventually Of the state of Colo
RADIO itself, which made a special APP
preparation for the purpose, carried the
case up to the supreme court for final
decision.

tention that the government was

That the human eye. though trained
to distinguish colors, may, by want
of use, forget how to make such dis
tinction, was proved by the experience
of DR.. Hartley. fellow of the Royal

shown that color can be forgotten as
well as learned, by human sight.

SHOEMAKER IS LEGISLATOR.
johnson County Breaks Rule of Send
ing Lawyers and Farmers.

Olathe, Kan, Jan. 2.-Among the
many professions and trades which
will be represented in the next Kan
sas legislature will be that of the shoe
maker. Farmers, bankers and lawyers
have held sway for many years, and
have not done SO badly either, but it
begins to seem that less stress is 60
ing to be laid upon the Kansas Ian
guage and more upon the Kansas
mode of locomotion. At least, it so
appears by the recent election of
Charles H. Hyer of Olathe, who is one
of the largest shoemakers in Kansas.
The story Of Mr.. Hyer's success has
more than a humorous side. About
forty years ago he came to Olathe
from Lyons n. Y. When he arrived
here he had fifteen cents. He spent
that for lunch in q cafe located in
the largest building in town Mr.
Hyer now owns the building, and it
is twice as big as it was then. After
spending his last cent he hired out to
the state of Kansas at the deaf and
dumb institution here rs q shoemaker.
In 1880 he started out for himself. as
sisted by one or two men. In the last
thirty years he has simply worked
hard and saved his money. He now
owns a quarter of block three stories
high, hires sixty men and owns as fine
a home as can be found in the state.
The citizens of that county have sent
him to the legislature regardless of his
party afiliation, which happens to be
Republican.

ED HOWE QUITS GLOBE.
Atchison Editor Retires to Potato Hill
to Print Magazine.

Atchison, Kan, Jan. 2.-E. W.
Howe, who founded the Atchison
Globe thirty-three years ago this
month, has retired. One-half the
paper has been given outright to Eu-
gene Howe, the EDITORS son. The rest
of the stock is divided between r. A.
Ramsay, a local dry goods merchant,
Dr. Pitts and Charles Linley, who will
become business manager of the pa
per, having resigned as cashier of the
Exchange State bank. Pitts and Ram
say will not take an active part in the
management of the paper.
Mr.. Howe had announced his inten-
ton of retiring at the first of the year,
but the announcement was known to
few outside his associates of the paper,
and the deal made public came as a
surprise. In published statement in
the Globe Mr. Howe announced his
intention of retiring to Potato Hill, his
country place on the Missouri river
bluffs below Atchison and devoting his
time to publishing Smiths Quarterly,
an ambition he has long cherished.
This publication Will be unique as it
is his intention to print in it anything
he desires, a privilege which has been
denied him in the newspaper business.
Mr.. Howe also announced his inten-
| ton of giving to each of his other two
| children, James p. Howe of the New
York Journal reportoria1 staff, and
| Mrs. Dwight Franham of Seattle,
Wash, a sum more than he received
| for half interest in the Globe. Just
what price was paid for the half in
terest in the Globe has not been made
public but it is known that he had
valued the paper at one hundred
| thousand dollars, and it is not be-
| lieved he lowered the price.
No announcement has been made of
| the future policy of the paper. but as
Eugene A. Howe owns a controlling
| interest, 1t is believed it will continue
as an independent paper. Most of the
present force will probably be re-
tanned.
Edgar Watson Howe was born at
Treaty, Ind, in 1854 and began his
newspaper career when he entered his
! fathers printing Office at the age of
| twelve. He published the Golden
Globe of Golden, Colo, at the age of

said. THAT is all 1 don't believe I'll

him every few minutes. He looked at

minutes Mr.. Peck grew impatient.
