(Special ) Oroes favoritism and mismanagement of the grasing privileges within the Yellow stone forest reserve, coupled with a claim for damages amounting to between $7,009 and S8.000, Is the burden of a petition and protest prepared by prominent wool grow ers of this section, which will be forwarded to WaaMngton. Falling to secure redress from the head of the department, a com mittee will present the matter direct to President Roosevelt and demand action. While sheepmen have always protested that they were being treated unfairly by the forestry officials, the Immediate cause of the protest Is the loss of a largs num ber of sheep owned by residents of this county, while being driven to the range allotted them within the forest reserve in the vicinity of Bear Tooth mountains. The sheep were taken to the reserve under the direction of a forestry official, who would not allow even the slightest devia tion from the trail pointed out by him. As a result the sheep encountered poison weed to such ah extent that from ISO to 2S0 head died out of each band. Losses Are Heavy. Among those who have suffered losses are: W. B. Sleeper 200, David Taylor 178. MoWllllams & Hargraves m. M. Nuckols 175, Thomas Hogg SX. Several other bands taken over this trail suffered In a similar manner, but the exact number lost has not been ascertained. A conservative esti mate places the total loss at 1,600 head, representing a money value of at least $7,600. "But the worst is yet to come," said W. B. Sleeper of Meeteetse, "I have a let ter from one of my herders notifying me that the men refuse to take the sheep down from their mountain range over the trail by which they ascended on account of the certain loss of many more, not only from poison weed, but from the dam age sure to result from taking a band of sheep down the side of a precipitous moun tain covered with broken granite and slide rock. A sheep crippled from such a drive will not stand to be trailed 100 miles home, and must be left to die along ths way." Sheep Raages Remote. The petition, which is toeing signed by every woolgrower In this part of the tate, recites that the sheepmen of this county have been discriminated against by for estry officials In the distribution of the range within the reserves: that residents of this county owning sheep have been allotted ranges situated in remote and almost inaccessible places, while vast sections of good range nearby have been designated as cattle ranges and only a com parative few of these animals allowed to graze thereon. "For instance." ssld Mr. Sleeper, "I sm Informed that, with the exception of a few on Carter mountain, not a single sheep has been allowed on the forest reserve from the Shoshone river to the Grey Bull, a distance of over 100 miles, most of it natural sheep range, on which the Hogg A Taylor outAt formerly grased 75.000 head of sheep. Residents of this county, men who own ranchea and' make their homes here, who could reach this tract within twenty-flve or thirty miles, were compelled to take their' sheep1 WVer'ioO miles In the vicinity of Bear Tooth iake, and pay the government for the privilege of six' weeks J grasing. The range ' there Is ' poor snd all sorts of inconveniences were encoun tered in getting there. At one time Montsna authorities attempted to hold the owners for violating the quarantine reg ulatlons, but It was later shown that the sheep were Just inside of the Wyoming line." The loeat wool growers association will forward the petition snd protest to George 8. Walker, secretary of the national as sociation, and It is expected that body will carry the matter to Washington.

Aug. .-To the Editor of The Bee: Mayor McClellan, Charles Francis Adams. M. D. Ingalls, and other econo mists and publicists of the highest char acter and rank, have been giving -municipal ownership careful study in the United Kingdom and on the continent. Mr. Adams spent much time and labor in England In Investigating the subject, especially in Glasgow, several years ago. His emphatic opinion was that the people of the United States would never submit to the poor service with public utilities street rail, way such as he found In Glasgow, and he condemned municipal ownership as a failure In the mother country. Mr. In galls reports with vigor against it after months of Investigation. Mayor George B. McClellan. who Inaugurated municipal ownership of ferries. , and other utilities tn New Tork, writes from Germany after extensive observations that municipal ownership is a bad failure in Germany and England, as with the Staten island fer ries It ts already ktown to be In New York you would always pay Phone 918 Schiltz Brewing Co. So. 9th St., Omaha both In Service and ' financially. 1 By the time Mr, Bryan gets ready to launch gov ernment ownership of trunk lines of rail roads It Is my opinion that there will not be enough left of municipal ownership in our ecuntry to make a scarecrow. Not long ago . I criticised the Water Board for its failure to carry out Omaha's plain-contract with the water company. I attacked the policy, not the membership, of the board. I know the men who com pose It to be representatives of Omaha's best character, and the president, Milton Barlow, takes no second rank in Omaha as a cltlsen and a banker. But all this does not alter my own opinion. I am utterly and unconditionally opposed to municipal ownership of the water works st any price at which they can be purchased. Munici pal governments are rotten to the core throughout bur country because good citl srns can not be kept In control of them. Babbling demagogues ambitious for place and power are the chaps who want public utilities in the hands of the roughs snd toughs snd non-taxpaying ward . heelers, who control municipal elections In every leading city of the union. Fear of muni cipal ownership appears to be threatening the credit of New York In the bond market, and the Times of that city and writers for It are putting Omaha In a bad light before NEARLY PACKAGES of this most nutritious of air foods have already been consumed but CHEER UP !

I warned the Water Board a week or two ago that this waterworks question Is "a dangerous question." I repeat the warn ing, and also the remark that "no maa need doubt It." This Is not the first or second time that I have opposed policies which I hold to be Injurious to the welfare of Omaha. I ask the solid men, the business men, the youirg men, who have a future here, to stand steady against self-seeking popular clamor tn respect to Omaha affairs. They can not afford at this stage of its superb advance ment, or at any other stage, to either Im pair or exhaust Its Ane credit.
