GRAZING FEES
COLORADO CAUSES
FORESTRY OFFICIALS GRIEF
Stockmen Cliilm the Grazing Fee Is
a Direct Tax and the Government
Una No Right to Impose It Few
applications for Grazing Permits
Made This Spring.
The stockmen of Colorado are
leading a remarkable fight against
the payment of grazing fees In the
Colorado forest reserves and the
movement promises to spread to oth
er states.
The contention of the Colorado
stockmen Is that the grazing fee Is a
(liiect.tax upon them and that the
government has no right to Impose
such a tax. Few applications are be
ing made for grazing permits In tho
reserves and the movement of the
stockmen of that state promises to
become a national Issue in the ad
ministration of the forestry depart
ment. A dispatch from Glenwood
Cprlngs, Colo., to the Rocky Moun
tain News, says of the stockmen's
fight agalrist the grazing tax In that
state:
Supervisor French of the Holy
Cross forest reserve hag completed
his comparison of this year's appli
cation for grazing permits on the
Holy Cross reserve with the list of
applicants who received permits last
yenr.
It Is on this reserve that the mem
bers of the Roaring Fork and Eagle
Rllvcr Stockgrowers' association
range their hcrjs, and this associa
tion is one of the two which Is caus
ing the forest officials at the head
office in Washington considerable
perturbation because of their refusal
to apply for permits to graze their
herds on the reserve.
The allotment on the Holy Cross
Reserve for this year Is the same as
last year, namely, 20,000' head. The
full allotment was covered by per
mits Issued last year, and all the per
mit holders were In class A, which
receive preference and which Is
composed of local applicants. There
were severnl applications last year
from owners of migratory herds
which were turned down because the
full allotment had been assigned to
resident stockgrowers.
Each year a date Is fixed up to
which time preference will be given
these local stockmen, and after that
date permits are granted to 'appli
cants In order of filing, regardless of
classification. Last year nearly all
the local owners had applied by the
time the limit expired.
Hut Few Applicants.
The time limit this year was set
for March 15 and the applications
now on file In the local office of the
reserve show a marked contrast to
la?t year's conditions. They cover
about 9000 head. This Indicates that
the stockmen generally are sticking
closely to tho agreement to refrain
from taking out permits, for white
there have been several sales the ma
jority of the sales were to other own
ers In the same district, thus leaving
the cattle In the Jurisdiction of the
reserve, and both the. forestry offi
cials nnrt the county tax assessor are
of the opinion that the number of
cattle In this district have not ma
tcrlally decreased since last year.

The sheep herders of J. A. Delfcl

ed with an'otlcc to at once vacate all
ranges on the west side of Dry Creek,
the notice being signed "By order of

This establishes Dry creek ns a dead

VERY ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM.
At the Star Theater During the
Week.
The program at the Star theater
this week Is one of uncommon attrac
tiveness. In fact, It presentB the best
10 and 20-cent show ever put on in
Pendleton, beyond any doubt. The
dialogue and pantomime are entirely
without offence, and the music Is ex
ceptionally good. The farce turnB
afford rollcklng fun without a hint
af coarseness, and there Is much gen
uine originality therein. The mov
ing pictures are all spirited, some
are uncommonly beautiful, ana tne
execution of the clmeotograph Is
first class.'
Miss Nancy Rice Is a superior per

her own Instrumental music with
singing, and even with dancing, In
one Instance. Tho particular turn
wherein she accomplishes tha very
unusual feat must be seen to be eith

OFFICIAL WOLF HUNTERS.
Government Appoints Hunters to De
stroy Animals.
The Cheyenne Tribune says:
William P. Postel and George M.
Glover have Iwn appointed to hunt
wolves on the Wind River forest res
ervation in Wyoming. The forestry
bureau has decided that men who
have experience in hunting wolves
and coyotes shall be selected for such
wort, and elsewhere the earn plan
has been adopted as that which now
goes Into operation on the Wind Riv
er reserve.
Forest rnngers will also be required
In hunt the naimals which should he
destroyed.
The 'bureau says that experience
has shown that the most effective
method of destroying wolves Is to
fill their dens In the early spring,
where m addition to the old animate
the r! may also be killed During
the coming three months especial at
tention will be given to this matter.

Suite Will I'oixon Wolves.
State Game Warden Stevens re
ceived yesterday a large amount of
strychnine from Philadelphia which
will he used by the department for
the poisoning of coyptts and other
predatory animals.
The expenditure for this poison is
the first to take place under the new
aw which placed the sum of $5000
n tho hands of the game wnrdan for
use In the destruction of wild animals.
'So far as known, this Is the flrtl
Unit. In the history of the United
Sintcs when a state started In along
this line to protect Its game and
stoc k Interests. While there have
been company hunters, here In Ida
ho, hired by local stock associations,
there has been no official recognition
of the hunting of wild animals as a
state function. The outcome of the
experiment Is to be watched with a
good deal of Interest, for the bounty
system Is admittedly a failure, In thai
It stops short of extermination, both
because of destroying a profitable In
dustry that of growing wolf scalps
and then the hunters cannot make
enough nut ot the business to keep at
tt when the numbers of the noxious
animals begin to decrease. Boise

Heavy Snows and Rains.
Governor Gooding, who has been
out of town for some days looking
nfl-r his interests, . particularly in
connection with grazing ground!,,
states there has been very heavy pre
cipitation over In the Wood river
country. Every day he was out It
rained hard, and tho governor tates
he never knew such a downpour in
that section.
Talking with a man who had spent
many winters In the Boulder coun
try, the governor found the snowfall
In the mountains had been far heav
ier than the hill residents have
known for many years. It was 14
feet deep In many places, his Inform
ant said, while Innumerable slides
had packed the gulches with snow to
a greut depth. It was the opinion
of the man giving tho Information
that, should the snow go off with a
rush, unprecedented floods would be
experienced. Boise Statesman.

NQRTHGOAST A NORTHWESTERN VENTURE
All the news nil the time In the
t?ast Oregonlan.
The mystery of the North Coast has
probably been solved, says the Yakl-
Republlc. Robert E. Stra-
horn, the promoter of the North Coast,
Is the agent of the Vande.'bllts, who
are pushing the Northwestern to Fuget
sound. A Chicago dispatch says that
this has been authoritatively an
nounced, as has the proposed extension
of the Northwestern.
The following dispatch waa received
today:
Chicago, March 23. Tho extension
fo the Northwestern railroad to Seattle
Is nrv an assured fact. Tt.e VnnderbtU
road has been quietly extending Its
road westward during the past year
and plans to reach tide water on the
Pacific const at Seattle as soon as Its
principal rival, the Milwaukee.
The Wnshlngton alliance of the
Northwestern has been formed and It
Is given out authoritatively here that
the North Coast railway Is to furnish
the Washington connection of the new
transcontinental Une.
Officials of the vanderbllt road state
that official announcement of the
complete plans for the extension of
the road to Seattle will be ma.de within
a short time.
If this dispatch proves to be based
upon the facts, nobody In the Yakima
country will be surprised. It has long
been apparent to even the most casual
observer that there Is powerful finan
cial backing behind the North Coast,
and the assumption has been almost
from the first that one of the trans
continental lines had something to do
with It. That the Northwestern Is this
line has "been the guess of many Yak
ima people from the first.
The North Coast has been spending
a vast amount of money In central
Washington. Its corps of surveyors
and engineers has been constantly In
creased, and parties are out In the field
now nil the way from the summit of
the Cascades to Spokane in one direc
tion and Walla Walla In another.
Money has been regularly forthcom
ing for right of way at prices that In
many cases seemed fabulous, and at
numerous points construction opera
tions have been In progress for many
weeks.
That the North Coast Is not' a "hot
air" line, ns many were Inclined to re
gard tt at llrst, Is now certain; thnt II
Is part of a great transcontinental sys
tem seems more than probable.
Socialists, Attention.
