forty acres to the COW as a basis, to
support my herd, making sixty-two and
q ali square miles, almost equal to
eight miles square. This land I am
compelled to fence for protection from
other cattle. Fencing this land at the
rate Of 5000 per mile will cost me S.
400; the lease, at the rate of ten cents
per acre, will cost an additional sum
OF $4,000, making the total cost of
leasing and fencing, $40, 400. My herd
of cattle, at $40 per head, is worth $780,
600, SO you can readily see it will take
the one-half of all my cattle to pro-
tect the other half from the encroach-
smaller your herd the greater will be
the cost per head to fence; besides,
every cattleman who has been actively
engaged in the business upon the plains
knows that during some seasons IT,,
rains 60 in streaks, leaving large belts
of country unwatered, that the grass
becomes parched and burnt up by the
scorching sun, 70 that cattle in this
locality are compelled to drift to where
pastures are green and water plenty"
What would be the result, it was ask
ed, if the public domain were all fenc-
ed? It would be impossible for cattle
to drift to green pastures, was the
answer. Another serious difficulty was
envisioned. The streams supplying the
grazing lands are situated from eight
to ten miles apart. Again, the eco
nomic phase of this situation was dis
cussed.
1.-THE small cattlemen are situated
along these streams and own one-half
to a mile of the water. In fencing up
the public domain you would be al
lowed to fence only in front of your
own waterings, the fence to extend
only one-half the way to the next
stream or watering, making your fence
ten miles in length and n mile in
width. This strip of land (taking 40
acres to a cow as a basis will support
160 head of cattle. 1t will take %
miles of fence to enclose it, at a cost
to $4,000; my 100 head of cattle at $40
per head will be worth $4,000, leaving
a balance of 81 1900 on the wrong side
Of the ledger. But suppose it is only
required to build one-half of the fence;
this will cost him $4,000, the number of
acres enclosed is 6.400; the leasing of
this land from the government at ten
cents an acre will cost $40, and this
added to the fence will make $3.50;
herd and it will leave just $3.50. If
you can conceive Of any more systema-
tic plan to work out of the cattle bus
mess and Jurn over the grazing lands
of this western country to the capit-
alists of the east than the leasing and
fencing up of the public domain, I
would be glad to know it."
The argument was strong for the
open range. The cattle would drift
until they found plenty of grass and
water. Nature, it was stated, had done
wonderful things for the grazing lands
of the west. In some sections the pinon
ridges and the deep canyons furnished
excellent protection from the winds
and storms. Fencing the range would
shut out a large portion of the cattle
from this protection. It was an axiom
of the range that in proportion a. the
cattle are exposed to the cold, so must
their food be increased.

General approval was voiced by the
Av~estockmen Of Montana in the mid
die eighties when congress enacted
Lie Lands. Upon passage Of the bill,
President Grover Cleveland issued an
order directing the removal Of all
fences enclosing public domain.
"One Of the greatest obstacles" said
B. w. McCaSkell, reading q paper on
this subject before the Great Range
convention at st. Louis, "in the way Of
the successful raising and grazing of
cattle upon the arid regions of the
west, ! my humble Judgment. is the
extensive fencing Of the public domain,
whereby free ccess to water and grass
Is INSTRUCTED. Cast your eye over the
plains and see the streams that could
furnish water to the millions of cattle
and horses that inhabit them, fenced
from n end to the other. Only oc-
casionally a gap here and there where
the cattlemen an procure il, and only
then by travelling miles from their
days without water rather than travel
so far for it.. During the winter sea-
SON, when it Is cold and stormy and the
cattle poor and weak, many of them
die in consequence thereof"
Fencing Of public lands was closely
GeIdIcQ " GlaC Oh leasing,
for which had been discussed pro and
CON for a considerable period. In the
beginning it was felt that leasing
would be a means of protection. It would
protect the range from the encroach-
ments Of large owners, who would turn
thousands of cattle loose to drift all
yer the country, with little or no
water privileges whatever. The con-
viction "a reached that leasing could
not remedy this evil unless the land
leased were fenced.
These two phases, fencing and leas-
ing, became matters of serious concern
to Montana stockmen. The entire east
ern portion of the territory was at
stake. There was agreement with the
viewpoint expressed by MI. McCaskell,
that the leasing Of the public domain
means fencing, and AN mean nothing
else, and when that day comes, if it
ever does, it will bring with it death
and destruction to the small CATTLE

Facts about the final hours of

from the lips of witnesses for five
hours yesterday, but when the in
quest adjourned until today the
mystery of how she died and why
was as dark and puzzling as ever.
Officials who have voiced strong
suspicion that the 22-year-old
heiress was murdered refused to
retreat from that position, despite
the fact that the weight of evil
dence yesterday was in favor of
either suicide or accidental death.
Seven persons, including h.

was any help in piecing together
what happened in the vital hours
between 4:3O a. m. and 9:05 a. m.
last Wednesday when Mrs. David

running board of an automobile in
her garage.
Davidson, who bears a close &C.

aroused by servants carrying the
tidings of tragedy in the garage

BONUS ACTION WAS
ANTICIPATED TODAY

WASHINGTON, March 6. CUP.
Representative Robert Doughton,
D., n. c., said last night he hoped
the house ways and means COM
mittee would be able to report a
bonus bill today.
Doughton, chairman of the COM
mittee announced the intention
to refer a bill after hearings on
veterans adjustment compensa-
ton certificates payment pro-
posals were concluded after an
all day and evening session.
Indications were that the COM
mittee was split almost evenly
on whether the Patman or the
Vinson bill would be reported to
the house.
Observers forecast a IL to Is
vote on the bill. No one was
able to accurately predict which
bill would win committee ap-
proval.
The Patman bill provides for
payment of the S2,1000,0O0 debt
bv expansion Of the currency.
The Vinson proposal would pay
the bonus by issuance of securi-
ties.
A rebuttal statement by Rep
resentative Wright Patman, D.,
Texas, author of the bill, con-
cluded the hearing. Patman en-
phasized that his bill did not con-
template initiation of the cur
rency and that it embodied two
safeguards against such an occur
renee.
Representative Fred Vinson,
D., KY, did not seek time to re-
flute arguments made by advo-
Gates of the Patman proposal.
Senator Willard E. Tydings, D.,
Nd, tried to "sell'' his own bill.
Tydings said that under his
proposal a veteran who held a
$1,000 compensation certificate
due in 1915 would receive a dis
counted negotiable bond for
SITS and $50 in cash less, of
course, any money that he might
have. borrowed on the certificate.
He. said that if the. veteran held
his bond until 1915. he would re-
ceive the full $1,000.
Earlier in the day John Thomas
Taylor and Frank Belgrano, Jr..
legislative agent and national
commander of the American Le-
gion. respectively. led an attack
on the. Patman bill. Taylor be-
came involved in a dispute with
committee members who accused
him Of demanding payment of
the So. 1000,000,000 bonus with
out offering any plan to raise
, the money.
