(Vrom a Stnft Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 23. (Special.) The clos
Ing session of the nnuual meeting of tho
Nebraska lraprovcil Livestock Hrccdcrs' as
sociation was In the university chapel this
afternoon. Director E. A. Hurnott of flio
Nebraska experiment station discussed for
ngo factorH In the livestock problem. Prof.
Curtlss of the Iowa experiment station
spoke on methods of Judging an animal, and
other phases of the livestock Industry wero
treated in flvc-tnlnuto talks by members
of tho association. '
A spirited debate took place over a reso
lution Introduced In tho morning session
by II. F. Mcintosh of Omaha. The mcasuro
Indorsed the proposition now before con
gross looking to the leasing ot tho govern
inent land, a review of which appeared In
The Deo this morning. Mr. Mcintosh's
resolution follows:
Whereas, There Is now before the na
tlonnl congress a bill for leasing such pub
lie lands ns urc suitable, neither for agrl
culture, forestry nor mlnlntr. mnl hir
forp adapted to grazing of live stock only;
and,
Wlicrens. Huch lands have heretofore
yielded neither revenue to tho generul gov-
vriiincm nor nixes to mo states In which
they ure located j and,
Whereas, The proposed law contemplates
a system under ulilrh nrtnnt ira nl mirii
Iiulillc lands shall be made sccuro In their
. l"i " "r,el Penoti ot years in con
sideration of an annual rental equivalent
to what Is now about the taxable value of
Hlrnlli.r lands of private' ownership In Ne
braska; and,
Whereas, Such system will yield a vast
amount pr revenue to the national govern
ment, which would lighten the burden of
general taxation, us well as relieve agrl
vulture In a mcasuro from untaxed com
Jolt Producing live stonk: therefore
Ilesolved That tho Nebraska Improved
Livestock Growers' association favors tho
passago uf a lease law nnd that we hereby
request the Nebraska senators nnd retire
mensure'' uonsrc88 to support such a
Itesoliitloii Ii Aduplril. '
Tne resolution Indorsing the land leasing
proposition win Introduced Just beforo ad
journment nnd opinion seemed so widely
divided regarding Its merit that considera
tion was postponed .until afternoon, when
It was finally, adopted.
The only address during the morning ses
slon was by Prof. C. F. Curtlss, who spoko
of tho use and abuse of pedigrees In breed
ing. Ho pointed but tho Importance of
breeders of llvo stock understanding the
elomonts which enter Into tho making of a
pcdlgroe. It was accepted as n law of
breeding that bad traits aro as hereditary
in llvo stock as good traits, and Mr. Curtlss
Insisted that until tho broedcr understands
nil factors In tho problem of production ho
cannot depend upon tho success of his ef
forts. Ho asserted that tho reputation of
tho broedor, as well as tho ancestry of tho
animal, constituted nn clement In tho pedi
gree and a strong plen was made for a high
standard of Integrity among breeders.

Dr. W. A. Thomas, state veterinarian,
gavo an Interesting paper on "The Corn
Stalk Disease" In which he demonstrated
that tho so-called disease Is nothing mora
then the tudlgestlblllty of tho corn stalk.
Holng woody, It Is no bettor for food than
sawdust, and an animal which gets a great
quantity on Its stomach dies of no Infection
but ot Inability to digest tho'stuff. It causes
paralysis of tho stomach and Intestines and
then the poor beast Is dono for.
"Alfalfa Culture," by Prof. T. L. Lyon of
tho Stato university raado an Interesting
paper. Ho recounted tho spread of Its pop
ularity in tho state and sized up Its nut
trltlve qualities,
"Tho Hand Separator," by P.M. Housh

"The American Girl In 'tho Homo" was
the subject ot a paper by Mrs. Dertba D.
Laws ot Minneapolis, a teacher ot domestic
sclenco thoro' and a woman who has had
this sort ot cxperlenco In many other largo
cities. It was her view that the farm girl
Is tho healthlost and happiest and that
whosoever leaves tho farm for the city
runs the risk ot a sacrifice of both.
M. P. Qree-ley, a 'South Dakota sheep
raiser, talked on the topic, "Landed

time tho bill was signed by tho governor.
Decides Ascalnst the State.
Judge Frost in tho district court' has de

former Secretary ot Stato Porter and his
bondsmen, In which tho state sought to re
cover $023 received and retalnod by Mr.

tary Porter had no legal right to accept tho

to statements published In soveral papers
to tho offect that sho had asked those In

This Is Incorrect, ns stated by them. They
say Mrs. Harrison has. at no tlmo mado
objection to tho presentation of such n bill,
and still bollovcs tho matter can with pro
prlety bo presented to congress, Inasmuch
as tho surviving widows of other cx-prcsl-dents

Mrs. Harrison was asked tonight If sho
had requested that tho bill bo not pre

"No, I havo mado no such request at any

give my daughter tho samo advantages sho
would havo enjoyed hpd her father lived

OPPOSE RESERVE TRANSFER
South Dakota CMIkciis Do Not Favor
I'riiisrd ChntiHC In .MntitiKC
in cut of Forests,
f
LKAD, S. D., Jan. 23. (Special.) Tho
rcoplo at tho Black Hills are excited ovc
tho plan to transfer tho management ot
tho Black Hilts forest reserve from tho
Jurisdiction of tho Interior department
to that of tho Department of Agriculture.
Tho change would meet with a vigorous ob
Jectlon from tho people living upon and
adjacent to tho reserve
Tho Department of Agriculture Is dls
posed to employ ns rangers on tho reserve
only men who havo received college, train
Ing In forestry nnd young men from east
ern colleges have, In fact, been appointed
to places as rangers on tho Black Hills re
serve. This has caused much Indignation
In tho Black Hills, It being contended that
a technical knowledge of forestry is not
ns essential In n forest ranger as a knowl
edge of tho country and of tho corroct
treatment ot forest fires, which can only
bo acquired by long rrsldcuco In tho region
and cxperlenco In tho administration ot
tho reserve
ft la nlcn 1 rfttyam a f ai t Ii n nrntl firntal
bltrary and useless. To so enforco thcso
regulations It Is well for
tho forest rangers
who patrol the reserve to know something
of tho pcoplo with whom they deal, their
moods nnd tcmporamcnt. This knowledge
Is not possessed by tho nvcrago collegu
graduate, who, is unused to westorn cus
toms and western life.
Tho Black Hills forest reserve is on n
satisfactory working basts for tho first
tlmo since its establishment. Scth Bullock,
forest supervisor, lms surrounded himself
with nn elnclcnt corps ot rangers, who
maintain a vigilant patrol and guard
offectually against flro nnd depredation,
sco to tho enforcement ,of tho rulo rcgu
latlng persona who grnzo herds on tho ro
serve, maintain surveillance over persons
engaged In tho cutting and removal of tim
ber by purchaso from tho government nnd
conduct tho other affairs of tholr positions
without creating friction.
In vtow ot 'tho present stato ot affairs,
It Is hoped that tho government will not
mako tho contemplated chango, which
would bo certain to result tn tho dlsorganl
zntlon of tho excellent system now In forco
nnd would undo much of tho good work
that has been dono In allaying tho appro
hcnslons of tho population, for It Is to bo
remembered that tho Black Hills pcoplo
havo never taken kindly to tho executive
proclamation issued In Fcbuary, 1897, by
which over 1.000.000 acres of land was
withdrawn from settlement and set asido
ns n national rcsorvo for tho preservation
of tho timber.

oral land department. Recently he was

sho has steadily occupied.

court to restrain tho Indian agent and
Black Tomahawk from removing her-from

aside. Tho enso will bo watched with In
terest by thousands of persons who nro
familiar with tho long-drawn-out struggle,
for possession ot .tho land.
