PORTLAND, Jan. 21. Word has
Just been received by District For
ester Geo. H. Cecil from the forester
confirming the report in recent press
dispatches to the effect that no chango
will be made in grazing fees until
1926. The Forester's letter reads In
part: ' .
, "After many conferences, with the
secretary, members of congress, stock
men, and members of this office, at
which tho present condition of the
livestock industry was fully consider
ed', the secretary has decided that the
industry is In no position to stand an
increase In the grazlnir fees in 1925
In announcing this change of- plan
I should like to point out specifically
that we do not depart from tho com
mercial nrlncinle in establishing eras.
ing fees." The letter continues:
"I hope It will be possible to re.
ceive full comments from the stock
associations, together with your final
recommendations' and reports, not
later than July 1, 1924. We will then
be prepared to secure the secretary's
approval-of a minimum and a maxi
mum fee for each district, based upon
the range appraisal reports. The for
ester will then approve the fees for
each forest. During the next two
years the range appraisal data will be
rochecked and supplemented."
Colonel Greeley, now in attendance
at the National Livestock meeting at
Omaha, will formally announce the
secretary s decision, -
In this connection, Mr. Cecil said:
, "The first agitation looking to an
Increase In foes arose over the feeling
on the part of feeders in the corn
belt that the western stockmen on
the' free public domain and the na
tional foresters were obtaining graz
ing privileges at a very low cost and
had an -unfair advantage over the
feeder in the corn belt region. The
situation was aggravated by the
knowledge that throughout the west
the Indian reservations and areas of
private land were leased by stock
men at rates considerably in excess of
tnose paid on the national forests.'

NEW YORK, Jnn. 21. A - report
was made today on the first early re
turns In tho "referendum" on tho
American Peaco award .which began
January 7th, and will last until ap
proximately tho middle of February
Although many thousands of copies
of the plan and ballot, shipped in re
sponse to orders, have necessarily not
yet reached their destination, a good
deal of voting has already been done
through the ballots In tho daily press.
At tho end of the first fivo days of
the "refendum," the vote stands 5128
against the plan and 38,529 fop the
plan. This is a percentage of approx
imately '11 ?i per cent against, und
per cent for.
Tho votes are Just beginning to
come In from the very far west. In
some cases the votes will be delayed
because the newspapers are receiving
the ballots In their offices first, tabu
lating them, and then forwarding
them to the office' of tho Award. A
number of these, however, are send
ing in the dully grist as It cornea. .The
coupons are clipped from papers of
every kind tho metropolitan daily
and the Hinall town daily alike. Since
the weeklies are just beginning to
publish the bnllot. ballots from this
source, will not arrive for some days
yet.
Tho committeo in charge of tho
award snld that In addition to the
43.G57 votes received, thousands of
the voters havQ.. written letters giving
their "fuller comment" in spirited
fashion, both to and against the
plan. Of tho letter writers tho num
ber is about equally divided for nnd
against.
The committeo sn-id today that the
point thot cometi most strongly to the
fore In most of these communications
is an insistence that , the question of
our foreign policy bo sharply removed
from the field of purely partisan po
litical discussion.
