In the Htatement to ilPHlre to Htublllzo
umo of the national forest rariKOH an
far bh consiMtent with public Inter
est. Ho would have no objection to
Urination giving KrazinK a more defi
nite IokhI Htatun in the national for
ests and confirming In broad terniH
the fundamental policies aH the de
partment Ih developing.
Grazing feeH nhould be adjusted to
tho economic condltloiiH in the II ve
Htoclt IndUHtry, the Htatement Haid, and
nhould be partially or wholly waived
In time of serious drought. The crea
tion of local Kin?lni; boards wan ad
vocated. Keen for KrazinK on the national f or
cein now average twelve cents per
month for a cow and flvo centa a
month for a aheep. and the depart
ment reports this figure as consider
ably above the commercial value of
forape. If, ns some Ntockmen advo
cate, they were rut to a fiuro based
merely on tho cost of administration
they would bo about one-third of the
present rate. I
While advocating Rcneral law by
congress on the matter of fees, Kecre- 1
tary Jardlnn favors permitting tho de
partment considerable latitude and
discretion in dealing with the ques
tion of waiving fees in times of dam
nRlnif draught, Including a further ex
tension of tho waiver of grazing twa
already made in drought afflicted re
gions during lOUi.
"The secretary of agriculture, " con
tinues the statement, "ulno favors
strongly a provision of law that will
appropriate ton per cent of the an
nual receipts from grazing for range
improvements. There is great need
for such Improvements, ho believes,
and a measure of this kind would be
one of tho most constructive steps
Which tho government can take to In
crease tho productivity of th eranges
an dto benefit their users."
Tho policy of Issuing grazing per
mits for ton years, beun In 19 2 a.
was said In the statement to be part
of tho department's purpose further
to stabllizo the grazing Industry In
tho natlonnl forests. The secretary
was doclnred to be ready to go fur-;
ther and to fix more specific limits
upon possible reductions In herds dur- !
Ing the life of the ten year permits, i
ror any and all purpose, which will
bo adapted to the specific conditions
t neach locality. These ten year per
mits are not revocshle and are de
clared to be as binding upon the de
partment mh upon the uhcih of the
' range. The secretary was quoted as
Haying:
"Any legislation dealing with graz
ing should give the department full
latitude of control mid adjust this
use of the national forests so as to
protect other valuable resonrccH and
maintain the productiveness of the
mimes themselves. The ten year per
mits or contracts should be definite
guarantees to the stockmen: but in
Isulng and renewing them complete
freedom must be maintained to ex-j
elude or restrict grazing in areas,
where it has. proven injurious to
young timber, or 'where grazing Is
damaging valuable water sources. The1
department must alno be able to.
make such adjust meats as may be I
required to meet th eneeds of recrea-j
Hon and of valuable forms of wild i
life."
Secretary Jnrdiue does not regard
ns tenable any form of taw or ndmln-
1st ra live policy (abt would clone the
national forests to new applicants
who need range In developing their
land where t hey tic nbe reasonably
provided for. In declaring ngalnwt
the conferring of any form of vested
or property rights upon present users
of the range, the statement went on
to say that such conceptions would In
the opinion of the secretary under
mine the foundation of the national
policy for th neonservntbm of natural
resources, would make impossible the
carrying out of a well balanced plan
of publio use ami would make It Im
possible to conserve the range Itself.
The remedy for friction between
ntockmen and the forest service was
declared by Secretary Jardlne to lie
In (he direction of the creation of lo
cal grazing boards, a majority of
Whose members should be experienc-
stoclcmen. .These bonnls would
Safe blowers commenced winter
operations In the city last night
when they demolished the Ameri
can Kxpresa company safe by an
over-charge of nltro-glycerino short
ly before midnight in a vain effort
to gain access to the Interior. The
heavy charge jammed the Inner door
and blew the, outer door off ItH
hfngeH, tho noise of which Ih Haid
to have frightened tho yeggs away,
before the Inner door could be forc
ed open. Ten suspects picked up by
the police immediately following the
safe blowing, were given their liberty
this forenoon.
Police attributo tho crime to "local
talent," as tho job is said to bear
tlie marks of amateurs. Tho cxplo
sion was plainly heard for several
blocks and attracted the attention of
the police who were but a block or
more distant. They rushed to the
scene Immediately, but the yeggs had
disappeared. K Inter Ada not, fine of
the crowd that had gathered, ex
amining the ground t found tracka
lending from the Kami liureau build
ing. Following them, be found a
cache li bid en under the floor. It
consisted of two sticks of dynamite,
one drill, one revolver, one box of
cigars and several cartons of cigar
ettes, all If which is presumed to
be stolen property.
O. T. Wicklein, nn auto mien
man, related this morning (hat he
noticed two suspicious characters
near the express office who dodged
behind the building when he passed
by about 11:30 on the way to his
home on North Kir Hti'eet. A Hhort
time after he arrived there, lie stated
he heard the thud of the explosion
and at once surmised the express
offlco wife to have been blown. Im-j
mediately following he heard a high i
powered motor car speed away. How
ever, he did not inform the police
until this morning when he ex
amined the suspects and was posi
tive that the characters be had seen
tho night before, swero not among
them.
While rounding tho suspects up
lust night, one officer shot several
times in tho air before ono of the
ten stopped In response to his com
mand. The rest offered no resis
tance. The charge wan no heavy that a
large square of plaster on a wall
nearby wan jarred loose while tho
safe Itself Is beyond repair. Express
officials say that the safo con - j
talned a very small amount of
money.
Kutranco was made by lifting a
honvy side door off its rollers after
prying It up from tho bottom.

A large audience much enjoyed
the fine presentation of the three

Junior class of the high school.
