lUtllllU HOIIU! "I Uiu lyinium puwpiu,
nnd thereby iniiirn Sparks, but their
notions aro too transparent for the
people of tlio VC8l. 11 is well Known
that it has been tlio policy of the cat
tic men to retard as much as possible
the (settlement of the country by farm
erg and small land owners, for the
reason that it curtailed the laniie and
uiako stock-trrowinir less profitable,
Since the stream of immigration has
become too grunt to be resisted t bus
been the policy of tlicfco same stock
men to secure ns much land nb pos-
slblo, and in order to do m they have
not hesitated to hire their cow-noyn
and lackeys to tile on land, sceuru ti
tle, and transfer tlio same to them.
the lax mauiier in which tlio laud
olllccH have heretofore been conducted,
making it very easy for such frauds to
Do perpetrated. Tins or course can
hot be said of all stock-men , some of
whom are no doubt honest and con
seicncioiiB men, but wo believe t
Jr the truth so tar as the majority of
them aro concerned. wo are to
credit our ox'hanrcs, Harney valluv
iiarticttlarlv . has been the scene of ux
tensive transactions of this kind.
Tho strict rules and careful surve
Jcnee which Commisfcioner Sparks has
caused to bo mado renders it iiluiost
imnossiblo Ifor nuv man to secure
more laud than he is justly enlillci
to. Thts fact, taken in connection
with tlio antagonistic interests aiu
nntipalhv which exists between the
stock-men and tho farmers, as a geu
eral thing, will cause this 'lesbln-
Hon" of the Cattle Growers' Associ
iition to be looked upon with distrust
It certainly is no credit to that august
body, (Jomuiissioucr bpnrks stands

recuive the encouragement of every
man whoso desire for gain does not
ovcrbalauco bis sense of right. The
resolutions refored to or inoro jirop-
erlv sponKlng liumorotis extract is as
follows:
"HeprcMintiitivoa from moro than
thirty states and territories pronounce
tlio policy of the J Ion. Y . r, sparks,
i'ommissiouor of the General Land
Ofllcu. to have been detrimental to the
true interests of funning settlers
throughout that section ; that bis ac
tion has been productive of great in
jury, injustice and suffering to tin
men who are endeavoring to create
homes and support their families un
der tho privations and trials of fron
tier life; that the broad charges of
fraud made by the (.'ommissioiier
against those moil aro not founded in
fact; that the isolated instances of
fraud present no ground for the uni
versal proscription bo has declared
ngninst those men; and lastly that,
imdor the cover of an intention to
preserve those lauds for the actual set
tlers, be is in realty and lu fact insti
gating and conducting through his
special agent a system of espionage
foreign to our institutions, unworthy
of American citi7.i11.ship, and by sus
picion of illegality thus cast upon the
entries and titles of the farming classes
lis a whole a vast Injustice Is done to
them, by which no public good Is sub
erved or obtained. ' '
