Special Government Counsel Rush Tells of His Work. 1,500,000 , , ACHES RESTORED. Vast Tract Is Saved for Uses of Farm er Results of the Government's Campaign Against Cattlemen for Il legal Fencing of Public Domain. Omaha , Feb. 20. One of the results of the persistent prosecutions of the cattlemen who have maintained illegal fences on public domain in Nebraska has been the restoration to uses of ag riculture of more than 1,500,000 fertile acres. It is also true that in the sec tion where theae lands are located Nebraska made its only growth out side of the large cities during the last . decade. These facts are made clear by Sylvester R. Rush , who has been employed by the government as spe cial counsel to look after the prosecu tion of these land cases. In talking of his work , Mr. Rush said : "The territory comprised in the counties west of the 100th meridian in this state , which crosses the state .north and south about eighty-five- miles wast of Grand Island and thirty- five miles east of North Platte , has been persistently classed as a part of the Great American desert , and wholly rnifit for agricultural -purposes. "In 1879 congress appointed a committee to take testimony on the advisability of condemning these lands and selling them to the highest bidder. The great grazing interests that at that time had taken possession of them , gave lurid testimony that these lands were unfit for any other purpose save grazing , and should be devoted exclusively to that end. The then governor of Ne braska objected to this disposition of these lands , and appointed two scien tific gentlemen to investigate this- pro posed sale , and they reported in 1879 and 1880 as follows : 'The annihila tion therefore of 500,000,000 to 800- 000,000 acres of these vast fertile acres that are surely changing their dry character to answer the farmers' various uses and demands and by law , naming them as vast pastures or commons , when they could in the near future , be fruitful farms this would be a fearful robbery and those who are conspirators in the attempt should receive public execration. ' "The scheme to auction off these lands was defeated and the struggle for the possession and control of them has been going on with varying inten sity ever since. In 1904 and 1905 prosecutions against a large number of persons were instituted , charging the unlawful enclosure of public lands and a conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment of the title. These prosecu tions resulted in a conviction of the of fenders. The government also at the Game time instituted suits in equity under the same act of congress passed in 1885 , compelling the offenders to remove their fences , and decrees were obtained involving the destruction of unlawful enclosure of , about 1,500,000 acres. These prosecutions and civil actions have been more. effective in opening up this country and set'ding the controversy between the grazing interests and the homesteader , than the employment of the military ; and the wonderful development that has taken place in this country has oc-i curred largely since' the commence ment oi thes prosfecution's" " Dr. P. M. Meer , dentist , of Val entine , will be at Wood Lake first Monday and Tuesday of every month.

Har rington of O'N-eill against the North western railway taking of ? passenger No. 8 , vrhich runs east from Long Pine to Omaha in the afternoon and makes the return trip in' the late afternoon and evening , just ahead of the Black Hills passenger. The purpose or the corapr.ny vvn tc let it run to Norfolk , but no farther west. The railway com mission on application granted per mission to the railway company , bat without giving the nople west of Norfolk a chance to plead their case. A petition was circulated several days ago among the citizens of this place protesting against the new order and was sent to the railway commis sion. Similar action was -taken by other towns along the line. The passenger going v/3st can hard ly be dispensed with because it v/ould lead to a crowding of the Black Hills train , in the same manner as a few years ago , when standing room was hardly to be secured. * Ready for Conservation Congress.

The program for the 'Nebraska conservation congress will open Thursday with addresses by Prcfijssor Bessey of the University of Nebraska , president of the National Society for the Advancement of Sci ence , and Governor Aldrich.

Attorney General Martin has filed a brief for a new hearing before the supreme court of the case of the village of Hallam against the Rock Island railroad. The court held that the village could not force the read to bufld a bridge over its tracks , although the state railway commission had ordered one put in. The attorney general says the decision ought to he modified because it denies the po-fc'er and authority of the rail. , way commissioners * *
