Illegal manufacture and Illegal diver
sion
For many weeks the selection Of this
staff of officials has been the stumb-
ling block in placing into operation the
sweeping reorganization program that
has practically shorn Roy A. Haynes
of his power as prohibition comis-
sioner.
The selection of this corps also has
been one of the most vexing problems
confronting Mr.. Andrews.
Jobs Pay $500.
Inability to find the type Of men de-
sired for the administrative posts
which carry salaries of $500 per year,
caused postponment of the program
from August for the month. Thous-
ands Of letters from applicants and
numerous recommendation from SEN
ators and political leaders tended to
protract the time required for this
work.
Upon notification of their appoint
ment, administrators are given free
hand In selecting their stats since they
are to be held entirely responsible for
enforcement In their districts.

Hearing is Set for
Railroad Meeting

November was definitely fixed as
the date for hearing by the Mon
tana railroad commission upon the re-
quest Of rail carriers operating in
Montana for an increase in freight
rates. Both passenger and freight
rates are involved. e. g. Toomey,
secretary of the board, said today.
The roads are asking no definite per-
centage Of increase but point to the
fact that their earnings do not allow
a 5% per cent return on their prop
critics. To result in such a return, Mr..
Toomey said the increase would have
to be IL per cent of present rates but
most of the preliminary discussion
seemed to center around s per cent as
the amount Of the increase desired.

eleven states. Every phase of its ad-
ministration will be inquired into. 1t
is charged that the Domain is mo

homesteaders, cattlemen and others
who have settled on or used the land
have led to more bloodshed in the
West than any other thing. Has the
administration of the Domain had any
part in bringing about the crisis in
the cattle industry? Is it advisable to
transfer control of the Domain to the
states in which it is situated?
Second-The National Forests, 1885,

more than 80 percent of this land is
virtually treeless? Have the 10000
600 acres of grazing lands in the Re-
serve been administered with fairness
to the cattlemen? Have the grazing
fees been increased in some instances
as much as 300 percent? If so, are
these increases justified? Has the
Government policy here operated
against the prosperity of the cattle
business? How can the cattle indus

YELLOWSTONE PARK
BOUNDARY LINES
May BE CHANGED

According to dispatches from Jack
son, Wyoming, several change in the
boundaries of the Yellowstone Nation
al Park viii be recommended by the
Presidents Commission on Coordina-
tion of National Parks, TO Congress-
man Henry w. Templeton Of Pennsyl-
vania.
This committee has just completed a
two weeks inspection Of the park and
its proposed southern extension. The
proposed extension viii embrace the
territory related to the present park
topography. In the course Of its in
spection the commission held public
hearings at Moran and Jackson, and
in addition interviewed many individ-
uals. Congressman c. E. Winter of
Wyoming accompanied the commission
and assisted in fiding necessary facts
After public meeting al Jackson the
commission drafted recommendation
which will be offered to Secretary of
War Weeks, Secretary Work of the
Interior and Secretary 5ardine of the
Agricultural department. The recon-
mendations are:
To change the present arbitrary
boundaries of Yellowstone National
park to conform as nearly as possible
with the natural topography Of the
country by:
Changing the eastern boundary of
the park, following in general the di-
vide of the Absaroka range in the
southeastern corner of the park to i'm
clude the drainage basin of the upper
Yellowstone river and Thoroughfare
creek.
Jog on the South
Changing the southern boundary of
the park, to follow the continental di-
vide from the headwaters from Ocean
pass to the head of the South fork of
Snake river, thence along the Snake
river to its junction witn the present
south boundary of the park and from
this westward following the present
south border to the southwest corner.
Changing the western boundary in
the Madison plateau region, these
changes to be announced later.
The commission was of the unani-
nous opinion that the Grand Tetons
conform in every respect to national
park standards, and, as an outstanding
scenic attraction, should be included
within the administration as national
park service.
With this in mind, it will be recon-
mended that the Grand Teton region
should include approximately the ter
ritory Immediately west of the recla-
nation withdrawal and east ~f the
Teton divide, proper, and south of the
Moose canyon drainage basin to line
dividing the watershed IN Phillips and
Granite canyons.
As Separate Unit
This area would be administered an
a physically separate unit OF Yellow
stone National park if the plans of the
commission are approvBS.
The findings of the commission have
been concurred in by Stephen Mather,
director Of the national park service,
and Col. W. B. Greeley, chied of the
United Ststes fmrst service.
