enforcement of the law, since to
remove the fences in midwinter
would. the cattlemen maintain,
cause them great hardship, ex-
pense and probable loss of stock.
The drift fence law has been
an issue in practically all of the
public land states in the past,
and to some extent in this state;
but it is before the cattlemen of
New Mexico as good, hard law
for the first time. Much of this
land, in fact, has been surveyed
but the surveys have not been
approved and pending approval
the state cannot make selection.
In the event the state selects
this land there is no doubt it will
be bought or leased by the cat
tlemen since it is only fit for
grazing. The fact is there has
been little or no complaint of
cattlemen having fenced land
suitable for homesteading or for
farming purposes.
The lease law has been blocked
repeatedly in congress largely by
the sheep growing interests who
do not appreciate the advantages
of the proposed act which would
permit cattlemen to fence large
areas of the public domain un-
der lease, thus shutting up much
of the open range over which
sheep, in charge of herder may
now Craze without restriction.

BRRRRRRRRRg
Cattlemen Seek to Hold
Up Drift Fence Law

Cattlemen of New Mexico and
particularly those in the south
eastern part of the state are get
ting very busy these days in a
strenuous effort to block enforce
ment of the drift fence law, to
secure the repeal of the law and
the enactment of the long desir-
ed lease law; or failing in these
things, to secure delay in en-
forcement of the existing statute
covering the fencing of the pub
lie domain until the present win
ter is over.
Practically ever since it's en-
actment the so-called drift-fence
law, the statute making it un-
lawful to fence the public do
main, has been violated by the
larger cattle owners of New Mex
leo. Up to the time the present
administration took office the
government, apparently has ac-
quiesced in these violations, al
though the statute leaves the
land department and the United
States district attorney, in whose
hands the enforcement rests, ab-
solutely no option in the matter
of enforcement.
Under the old system agents
of the land department inspected
the public domain in search of
drift fences and when such a
fence was found, notified the
district attorneys office under
oath. That official was required
to notify the party violating the
law, giving a reasonable length
of time in which to remove the
fence. A re-investigation by
another special agent of the
land office was then ordered.
Owing to the small number OF
special agents available these re-
Investigations were always long
delayed, and often never made
and the fences were allowed to
stand, practically by acquies-
cence of the government.
But under the new administra-
ton enforcement of the drift
fence law has become 4 reality
and the district attorney for
New Mexico, having no option in
the matter to enforce the law,
has been busily notifying viola
tors to get their fences off the
public domain or be prosecuted.
Judgment has been given al
ready in two cases of violation of
the fence law and three more
cases are set for hearing at the
term of United States district
court which will be held in Ros-
we'll the first week in February.
Bv the time that court meets, it
is not unlikely that other cases
will have been filed.
Accustomed to the old method,
the cattlemen have come to re-
gard the fence law largely as a
dead letter and it's revival and
enforcement have caused some
thing like CONSERVATION among
the growers in the eastern part
of the state where drift fences
enclose large areas of the public
domain. Meetings have been
held recently at Carlsbad and
Roswell and the result Of these
meetings has been the sending
of a committee to Washington to

Kaibab Land Opened
Again to the Public

A great restoration to entry of
forests and mountain land north
of the Colorado river at Grand
Canyon on the Kaibab plateau
was ordered in the United States
land Office recently in correspond
ence from the department of the
interior. Approximately $4,000
acres of land are restored to set
tlement prior to entry.
A popularity of the order is
that all persons found on the land
mentioned, without proper ac-
counting for their presence there
are to be treated as tresspassers.
But from February 16 at nine in
the morning until the same hour
on March II, the land will be open
for settlement. Then entry may
be made in proper form. The
order approved December 18
throws parts of the Kaibab Ma.
tional forest, the Grand Canyon
game preserve and the Grand
Canyon National Monument open
to settlement prior to entry. Va
cant and unappropriated public
lands withdrawn for classification
under the act of June 25, 1910 by
proclamation of the president May
10, 1913 are those now being re-
stored to the public domain.
The total acreage will run ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. Ow-
ing to the fact that not all the
land is accurately described by
sections, it was impossible to fig
ure the exact acreage, but so, 900
is the amount estimated by John
j. Birdno, receiver of the land
office.
The charter of this land differs
in several localities, some of it be-
ing forests, some plains, some
river bottom and still other parts
consisting of the edges of hills
and canyons. Bona fde settlers
with their rights entire can make
settlement on this land between
February Is and March17, but not
before or after that period.
The land office is anxious to
get settlers on this rich
strip of land. 1t borders the sheep
range of the Mormon settlers who
invaded the savage wilderness
of the Kaibab Plateau from the
north. A good deal of publicity
will be given to the matter so as
to attract as many settlers as pos
sible.

THE POST CARD CRAZE.
Pictures Illustrating Scenery and
Points o. Interest is Never Like
ly to De Out.

Every once in a while one sees
a newspaper note to the effect that
the postcard fad is going by. Yet
wherever there are tourists this sum-
mer, there seems to be the same old
throng like flies around the picture
card counter.
Probably the use of silly motto
cards will prove to be but a pas
sing craze. Even people of superb
cial intelligence get tired of remind
ing their friends by mail to do ii
now and other equally sensible ex-
ephemeral form of exchanging persi-
flage will be found. Also many OF
the cards verge on the coarse and
indecent The exchange Of this kind
of pleasantly will in time seem tire
some even to dull minds.
But the picture card illustrating
scenery or points of interest is never
likely to die out. 1t has made quite
a little saving to the traveller look
ing for souvenirs. Formerly you had
to buy photographs to illustrate a
vacation outing, for about % cents
EACH The next step was a book of
Photographic reproductions, that
might sell for % to so cents apiece.
The postcard craze has enabled peo-
pie to carry home a pretty set of
souvenirs of their travels for a few
nickels.
Also the picture cards appeal to
the modern inability to write letters.
No matter how much the social phil
|osopher may deplore it, the epistol-
airy habit is dying out. A friendship
can not be very vital if the only
thing to keep it alive is half doz-
en- words of greeting and the ex-
change of glimpses of summer resort
scenery But the picture card habit
gives ready relief from the labors
of the pen and the writing desk, and
as such it is and will be popular.
The postcard message seems like
pretty shabby substitute for the
intimate story of life, covering six
or eight closely written pages, which
your friends used to send you. Times
have changed, people are more on
the move. The postcard messages
seem to fit into the crevices of time
left in our hurried days.
