He says: “The timber destroyed by fires in public lands has been left in such a condition that if not cut and disposed of in a short time it will become worm-eaten and worth less, thus depriving the land of a great proportion of Its value to the settler seeking title thereto. Numer ous applications have been made by the sufferers from these fires for per mission to cut the timber ut once and sell it.” lie therefore recommends that congress be asked to give the permission necessary to allow the cutting of this timber and thus pre vent the total loss of millions of feet, lie also suggests that congress take necessary steps for the relief of fire sufferers, following the precedent set in similar cases. BISHOP MATZ ON THE A. P. A. — He Severely Denounces the Organization In His October Pastoral. Denver, Col., Oct 6.—In his October pastoral Bishop Matz says the church in Colorado is passing through an ap palling crisis. “It is," he says, “sec tarian bigotry, which, led on by a set of fanatics, bids fair to outdo the fol lowers of Cromwell and the maniacs of the French Commune. It is a fact which has called forth the amazement of the most remarkable men of our time, that an age like ours, and a country over which floats the American flag, Bhouid have fostered this A. P. A. monster, which, while it carries the constitution of the United States in one hand and the bibie in the other, would fain strangle with its deadly fangs the church whose children fought so bravely under the stars and stripes against tyranny and oppres sion. But the fact, nevertheless, re mains, and is, indeed, more strange than fiction." The bishop urges Catholics to vote for men who are above prejudice, party passions and sectarian bias.
