Beginning at Salt Lake City Aug.
26 the committee will conduct a
series of hearings in practically
every public land state in the west.

calls for hearings at Helena, Mont,

Yakima, Wash, Sept. 3; Seattle,
Sept and 8; Portland, Ore, Sept.

gram for holding hearings in Cali
fornia, New Mexico, Colorado and
Wyoming is not to be announced
until after it reaches Salt Lake
City.
Starting on an investigation of
grazing on the public domain, the
committee has decided that it's au-
thority is broad enough to include
all public lands and it will go
thoroughly into mining, Indian af-
fairs, timber matters, proposed
legislation for the disposition of
public lands, forest reserves, rec
lamation projects, power sites and
the national parks.
Committees from the American
Wool Growers and National Live
Stock associations, meeting in
Salt Lake City Aug. "a, will appear
before the committee at the open
ing hearing.
With the public lands totaling
430,000,000 acres, of which 81 per
cent is in eleven western states
members of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that congress
should regulate its administration
by laws instead of by rules made
by the interior department.
More than one-third of the area
of some of the western states con-
sists of reserved public lands which

national parks, it's management OF
these will be closely studied.
Plans for inquiry into oil mat
ters were announced by Senator
Walsh, of Montana, shortly before
his departure for Europe The
committee, he said, expects to hold
meetings after his return from Eu-
rope to go into the administration
of the Salt Creek oil fields near
Teapot Dome, with particular at
tention to the entry of the Midwest
Oil company into those fields.

Gallup Range Buffalo
Face Early Extinction

The herd of buffalo to be used
in mock stampede during the
Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial at
Gallup Aug. 26, 27, 2S and 29. is
approaching rapid, if piecemeal,
extinction, it was learned yester-
day morning.
Buffalo have not been in this
country in sixty years, old-timers
say. And the Indians, who have
danced buffalo dances for genera
tions without ever seeing a buffa-
10, the medicine men, who these
many years have faxed buffalo
medicine"-which can cure any
thing from gout to goiter-are
sharpening knives, borrowing saws
and cutting up promiscuously.
Four of the herd returned yes
terday without tai1s. Nothing can
chase away the evil spirits quick
er than a buffalo tail And moth
ing brings in more income than to
successfully shoe away the evil
spirits So the medicine men are
suspected of scalping that part
which requires much less bravery
but which brings in more sheep and
goats.
By day the Indians gather round
the herd. By night the owners
count the ears, horns and tails,
lest by Aug. 26 nothing shall re-
main except sweet memories and
few photographs.

Man Caused Forest
Fires Called National
Disgrace by Greeley

with $4,000 man-caused fires do
ing $35,000,00O worth of money
damage to the public and private
forests of the United States during
the calendar year 1924, the country
faces a national scandal" says w
B. Greeley, chief of the United
States Forest service, in comment
ing on the 1924 forest fire report,
figures of which have just been re-
ceived by District Forester F. c. W..
PoOler, at Albuquerque.
Only a small number of these
man-caused forest fires occurred
within the national forests, accord
ing to Mr.. Pooler; not more than
5000 of them, in fact, but because
the United States Forest service is
charged with responsibility for fu-
ture timber supplies, data have
been gathered covering, in so far
as possible, all forest areas, re-
gardless of ownership.
The concern of the American
people, the district forester points
out, can not be limited to any kind
or class of forests. The $35 100000
of money damage is an economic
loss that should be resented by
every citizen. The actual loss to
the nation is really much greater
than that because damage to young
| timber growth, watersheds, wild
life and recreation and losses to
the lumber industry in shutdowns,
wages and other economic values
are not included.
Every one of the $4,000 man
caused forest fires in 1924 was pre-
ventable, Mr. Pooler insists. Light
ming is considered the only natural
cause of forest fires and only $500,
or 6 per cent, of the total of $4,000
fires were started by lightning.
Analysis of the 1924 statistics
shows that incendiary fires top the
list in division of human acts that
cause forest fires. There were 21,-
900 incendiary fires. Brush burn
ing is next, with 10000 fires, and
smokers third, with 1900 fires.

public opinion" says Chief For
ester Greeley in regard to the ap-
palling figures for 1924, sis the
greatest single agency with which
to combat forest fires. Federal
and state governments are doing
their utmost with the funds and
equipment available. 1t is high
time that this most effective wea-
pom, an outraged public opinion,
be brought to bear on the problem
1t is time that people in general
realize that the man who starts
a forest fire is criminal and an
enemy to his country.
when 81 per cent of all forest
fires are man-caused it is nation
al scandal"
While forest fires for the entire
nation, according to District For
ester Pooler, run "a per cent man
caused against 6 per cent that are
set by lightning, figures for the
fourteen national forests in Ari-
zona and New Mexico are smuch
more encouraging. Reports for all
southwestern forest lands are not
available, but 1924 fires on the
national forest areas were only 81
per cent man-caused, against So
per cent caused by lightning

states, that 81 per cent of forest

The movement of cattle seems to

the same as on each of the two

Straight grass fat steers are bring

\ ROMANTIC ACQUITrAL IN VERMONT WOODS

One is reminded that "all the world loves a loycr' in reading of tho speedy acquittal of Earl Wood- ward, the Vermont youth who q few weeks ago figured in the sensational news that he had Kidnapped Lu- rlle Cha,tcr,on. the 1l-yoar-old daughter Of his employer,
 From hot indignation at the youth at the time of the 'kidnap- ping" to cheers and congratulations in the courtroom when he was freed, is a long step, but it has been encompasscd, The reason by this time Is fairly familiar: The girl went willingly, was not injured dur ing the sojourn in the woods; her father had "mistreated' her and threatened to kill her, according to her own story; and the youth took her from home to save her from in- jury and call attention to her plight and bring aid from the public. He also intima,ed he wished thc girl 10 { be educated and hoped later m life to marry her
 The youth had been labelled an ,, "ex-con,tct" as the result of once having served shorh sentence for q minor crlmc. In th5 eyes of many people this record of past dc- meanor might easily have been mis- taken for proof Of wrongful designs whcn hc made off with the child; but tho "cX-convict" label ultimately had no bearing upon the case in hand. vermonters evidently are of the opinion that because person slipped once is no Drima facio evil dencc of wrongful intent later.
