Ny dear Mr.. Lake:-
Az you probably know, On the 9th
Of August. last year the Interior De-
partment rendered . decision prohibit.
ing the settlers or anyone else from
cutting any timber for any purpose on
any part Of the former Ute Indian Res.
servation outside Of the forest reserves.
That includes . large part Of some
twelve or fourteen counties.
Soon after that decision was render.
ed. the settlers Of various parts OF
Western Colorado began vigorously pro.
testing and appealing to me to obtain
some relief from that harsh ruling. The
decision has prohibited the cutting OF
mining timber. building material. and
even fence posts and fire wood. and has
seriously retarded the development ant
worked . very great hardship and un'
necessary expense upon the settlers al
over Colorado, many of them having Z
buy lumber and fence posts and have
them shipped in at great expense wher
they could have otherwise cut them or
the public domain near their ranches.
] at once took the matter up ant
vigorously protested to the Secretary o.
the Interior and the Commissioners oI
the General Land Office, and have svel
since been industriously trying to Oh
tain rehearing and reversal Or modif
cation Of that decision, and I am ex
ceedingiy glad to tell you that hav,
finally been successful.
The Secretary Of the Interior has jus
rendered and 10 today sending out . de-
cision reversing the former decision an

London, Sept. while their COM
patriots were busy north of the
Somme, warding off German counter
attacks or engaged in artillery duels,
the French south of the river drove
their men farther into the German
lines for noteworthy gains.
In stubborn fighting over front OF
4 miles between Vermandovillers and
Chilly, the Germans have been forced
to give up the northern portion Of
Vermandovillers, while the French
have occupied the outskirts of the
railway junction town of Chaulnes,
and thrown their forces along the rail
way running from Chaulnes to Roye,
between Chaulnes and Chilly.
To the north the operations of the
French, with Barleux and ultimately
Peronne as their objective, also met
with success, Southeast of Belloy-en-
Santerre, further German trenches
were captured and most of the village
OF Berry ny-en-Santerre fell into French
hands. Paris says the number of
prisoners taken apparently was large.
Berlin admits the loss of Clery, which
lies a short distance north of Per-
onne
In Galicia on the front of the Zlota
Lipa and Dniester rivers the Russians
have driven the Teutonic allies from
fortified positions and have taken A.
500 prisoners, among them about g.
900 Germans. Berlin comedies vic.
tory to the Russians in this region.
Violent fighting continues around
Brzezany, southeast of Lemberg, but
here, Berlin says, the Russians suf
fered heavy losses and have made no
advance. Russian attacks near Zbo-
row, northern Galicia, and in Volhy'
mia, also failed, according o Berlin.
Fighting is still going on in the Car
pathians, where the Russians claim
the capture of additional heights.
In the Rumanian theatre German
and Bulgarian troops are still en-
gagged with the Rumanians in the Do
brudja region. Berlin reports the cap
ture of seven of the Tutrakan works,
| together with their armored batteries.
| The Rumanians claim that they have
retaken all the Dobrudja frontier east
of the Danube between Bulgaria and
Rumania. The towns of Islacx and
Kalafat, on the Danube, have been
bombarded by the Teutons.
The Russians in Turkish Armenia
continue their progress against the
Turks near Ognott, inflicting heavy
casualties on them, according to Pet
rograd
In Albania the Italian advance has
been stopped, says Berlin, and the
Teutonic allies have recaptured al
positions taken from them recently
