"Withdrawn! of public lands for use
vrather from use. Is the latest piece of
S.pra!tical conservatism, The presi
dent, "by executive order, under the
withdrawal law has withdrawn from
- entry many tracts of unappropriated
upuhllo lands which contain springs of
t small streams. The watering places
- control the public range over large
tareas In Utah and Wyoming and the
- withdrawal of these lands will In no
' wise Interfere with the use of the
- 'springs or . streams but will In fact
' insure the possibility of public use.,
- -Control of watering places by strong
-private Interests and the resultant
" -monopolisation of grazing on the
- domain are believed to be prejudicial (
'to public interest, and the president
-regards the setting aside of these
' watering places for public use : as
nerving a distinct and beneficial pub--Ulc
purpose, in harmony not only
- rlth the letter, bu with the spirit of
sthe act of 1910.
"The three itdhrawals already aj---proved
by the president represent an
aggregate area of about 80,000 acres
1n six 'counties in Utah and Wyoming.

This practical development of 'the
cou?ervatlon policy Ju order to pre
vent ' monopolization of the public
grazing lands will not only Insure
equal opportunity, under the. present
conditions, but it- prepared the way
for future legislation. , Should .-congress
at any future ' time decide tc
pass a grazing law the retention of
these watering place In publlo owner
ship mukes' the enactment of a sat
isfactory law possible; whereas If
the water should pas into private
hands the framing of a law provld
Ing for the control of grazing on the
public domain would be useless, be
cause the law Itself would be Inoper
'. The present action will really be
beneficial to both large and small
growers, although it will doubtless
not be pleasing to those' who desire
to exclude rivals from the range by
acquiring the watering places. The
competition and struggle for exist
ence have In many places, however,
grown, so keen that even to the larg
est outfits have become burdensome,
and to some of them,, at least,' the
removal of one of the causes of con
tention by the reservation of the
springs and streams for the common
use of all will be a decided relief. To
the small stockman who ' has been
fighting for existence and who has
seen his grazing area-dlmlnUh year
by year as he hag been barred from
this spring r fntm that stream,1 H
will be welcome news jthat the gov
vernment has taken steps that will
at least make the competition fairer.

OCB TRADE WITH CANADA
Canada's foreign trade during the
last fiscal year aggregation $847,372.
000, which was $93,000,000 more than
the year before. The feature of the
showing Is the gain In dealings with
the United States, which were more
than half the total and $200,000,000
more than those with Great Britain.
It 'appears from the statistics the Do
minion trade with this courttry Is In
creasing twice as fast as with the
mother' country. The bulk of the
the business with the United States
represents Imports, which shows
that Canada finds the nearby mar
ket most desirable, notwithstanding
a big preferential diitv fn favor of
English products. How reciprocity
would Improve this larger trade with
the Dominion does not even need to
be left to the Imagination.
