Fifth. Upon facts presented at many public meetings held throughout the West and upon Innumerable suggestions which have been received and considered. Your commission concurs in the opinion •f the stockmen that some form of gov ernment control Is necessary at once, but Is opposed to the immediate application of any definite plan to all of the grazing lands nllke, regardless of local conditions or act uni grazing value. The following plan is intended to bring about the grad ual application to each locality of a form of control specifically suited to that locality, whether it may be ap plicable to any other locality or not. Your commission recommends that suit able authority be given to the Presi dent to set aside, by proclamation, certain grazing dstrkts or reserves. To the Sec retary of Agriculture, In whose depart ment is found the special a< quaintance with range conditions and live-stock ques tions which Is absolutely necessary for the wise solution of these problems, authority should be given to classify and appraise the grazing value of these lands, to ap point such officers as the care of each grazing district in.n I'uune, to Ch&rgO and < ollai t i modi iate f> f u Ki ising permits, and to make and apply definite and appropriate regulations to each graz ing district. These regulations should be framed and applied with special reference to bringing about the largest permanent o< cupation of the country by actual set tlers and home seekers. All land covered by nnv permit so given should continue« to be subject to entry under reasonable! regulations notwithstanding such permit. . enforced its growth would have been im possible. If 1» often asserted in defense of large holdings that, through the operation of enlightened selfishness, the land so held will eventually be put to its best use. Whatever theoretical considerations may support this statement, in practice it is almost universally untrue. Hired labor on the farm can not compete with the man who owns and works his land, and if it could the owners of large tracts rarely have the capital to develop them ef fectively. Although there is n tendency to sub divide large holdings in the long run, yet the desire for such holdings is so strong and the belief in their rapid increase in value so controlling and so widespread that the speculative motive governs; and men go to extremes before they will sub divide lands which they themselves are not able to utilize. The fundamental fact that characterizes the present situation is this: That the number of patents issued is increasing out ot all proportion to the number of new homes. Respectfully submitted. W.

Your commission has not yet found it possible to take up the extremely Impor tant subject of the revision of the mining laws with the thoroughness which it de serves. From the evidence nlready sub mitted it Is obvious that important changes are necessary, both tn the United States and In Alaska. The commission hopes to treat this matter more at length in a subsequent report. Some men nre hammers, and they fall With swift relentless shock This 'Ife for them is. after all. One grand persistent knock. Rights of Way. Year after year the question of rights of^ way ucross the public lands and reserva tions has bet a called to the attention of the Congress In the reports of the Secre tary of the Interior and the Commissioner • f the General Land Office. The laws on this subject are numerous and apparently often incongruous. Rights of way are granted conttngeat upon the execution of work within a definite time, but decisions and practices are now in forte under which It has become almost Impossible to divest the public lands of the Incubus of these rights, granted conditionally In the first place, but still in existence, although the conditions were not fulfilled. Rights such as these are very numerous. They lie dormant until actual development has'beguu to take place, either under the reclamation act or otherwise; then they appear in enormous numbers to the very serious hindrance of new enterprises. Your commission is engaged on a study of this subject and wiU report hereafter upon It. Attention Is called ngaln to the recom mendation of your commission in its pre vious report (hereto attached) that entry of agricultural lands Included In forest re serves be permitted under surveys by metes and bounds, and special emphasis is directed to the recommendation, which Is here renewed, that in such cases actual residence at heme on the land t»e rigidly required and that no commutation be al- lowed.

One of the most troubled men in Uncle Sam’s Navy, on a certain Satur- I day last month was Rear Admiral | Coghlan, commandant of the New York Navy Yard. He discovered it was his sixty-first birthday. According to all accounts the ad miral did not, or would not, know his i age. His headquarters in the old ’ frame building at the yard was fra- , grant when he walked upstairs yester day morning.

The separation of Norway from cording to Consul-General Guenther, Sweden by vote of the Storthing is but of Frankfort. the culmination of a struggle that goes ! Tlie municipal restrictions apply not ■way back to the early part of the pres only to the utensils and cosmetics, but ent century. The general cause as signed for the separation is the refusal of King Oscar of Sweden to grant Nor way a separate consular service of its own. But this overlooks a salient fact of history. Intended Effacement cf Norway. Bernadotte, Napoleon's marshal, when Invited by the Swedish nobles to become king, pledged himself, for him self and his successors, to make it the great principle of Swedish diplomacy to gradually effect the absorption and effacement of Norway. The nobility of Sweden hoped by this method to atone for the loss of Finland. Berna dotte was unable to complete this pro ject, but instead arranged a union which gave Norway many rights. His pledge he kept so far as he could and each of his successors has felt it bind ing on him. King Oscar of Sweden, kind and good natured, would prob ably have been glad enough to give the Norwegians their separate consu lar service, but for the promise made by his ancestor. Throughout the eighty-seven years that the line of Bernadotte has been on the Swedish throne Norway has never relinquished the demand for in dependence, and the fruition of this great dream is certain to be followed by determined efforts toward progress. They are intensely democratic, are the Norwegians, in marked contrast to the Swedes, who havo the habit of aris tocracy strongly fixed upon them. There are said to be only five noble families in Norway, while there are three thousand in Sweden. Outwitting the Russian Game. With such difference in tempera ment many expected the people of Norway to vote for a republic, but since the separation became a certain ty there has never been a moment that anything but a monarchy was possible. Had a republic been selected, such a government would have gotten little sympathy from any cf the powers of Europe, so that Russia, which has al THE ROYAL FAMILY ways cast longing eye« at Norway, might easily absorb the Norwegians even to the personal cleanliness of the “Corporal, why those flowers?” when the time for the blow came.
