~ g, WANTS OF THE CATTLE m_[ [erry Bimpson and Bartlett Riohards Talk on Leas ng of the Bange, JTATE ASKED TO MAKE EXPERIMENTS IMicers of Association Elected for En- and Next Meeting to He Held , CRAWFORD, Neb., May 13.—(Special Tel- )gram.)—At an evening session of the Ne- braska Stock Growers’ association held here last night Prof. Burnett spoke at some length on the purpose of the experiment staticn, recited some of the benefits wc- trulog from its experimental werk and buggosted that as the conditions and ne- tessities of the western portion of the state bre widely different from those of the tastern part, In which the station is lo- cated, it is {mpossible for this station to conduct experiments of value to the west nd. He proposed that range men demand that there be established a sub-station, located in the range country, at which the experimental work be confined to subjects closely connected with the range Interests, Dr. Peters Indorsed the rec- bmmendation, adding that the western men bad only to ask for it to get it Dr. Peters made a fow statements toncerning the department of animal pa- thology, saying that it was second to that of no other state. He anuounced that a bulletin would soon be issued giving eome Important information secured during the past season. Dr. Thomas, state veterinarian, made p few remarks concerning treatment for Yce, itch and mange. This morning President Delatour opened with an address on the objects of the organization and the dutles of members. He stated brand inspection {s conducted at the priucipal markets to prevent theft. Last year inspection was made through the Wyoming organization at an expense| of $2,400. A contract has been made for fhe work of the coming year, with ad- ditional inspectors, for $3,000. One bundred and twenty thousand cat- tle owned by members of this assocla- ktion were Inspected last year. He urged the need of all cattlemen having their brands recorded at Lincoln and touched upon overstocking ranges, removal of Rences, lease law, and the uselessness of khe present homestead law. Organisation s ennary. Hon, Jerry Simpson, the one-time Xansas congressman, made an address as & representative of the Natlonal attle Growers' assoclation, saying the livestock industry was ome of the leading industries of the United States. He said that modern invention had revolutionized soclety and brought about the system of combinations 4o busines matters and that cattlemen must protect themiselves by also forming wn organization to protect and forward their interests., He noted the work of the mational organization in this direction. He «<haracterized the recently passed oleo- margarine law as vicious apd harmful and <lass legislation, solely in the interest of tthe creamery men. He stated that while fthis bill was found on false argument Mts passage was due to the persistent effort of a most thoroughly organized body wnd urged this fn favor of the more com- plete orgamsation of cattlemen. He thought the oleo bill would effect a reduc- tion of $3 per head in the selling price of cattle, as that amount represented the por- tion of the ca utilized in the produce tion of '&leo,” T S The disposftion of the public domaln mwas referred to as a question of growing Amportance. There are now §00,000,000 dcre: of public land of which possibly one-third might be reclalmed by or subject to irrl- gation. 'The remainder is useless, even worthless, he sta exgept for grazing purposes. He sald that the ‘“perniclous activity of a Rip Van Winkle in the De- partment of the Interior in overturning the established system of securing pub- fic lands was working untold harm to the cattle interests of western Nebraska and bther range sections, The law was a 4. organizer of conditions, of interests in- volving a capital of more than $4,500,000,000. It wae the means of driving hundreds of cattlemen to the more favorable conditions offered by the Canadian government.” He criticised the present homestead law Lecaus it made it impossible for the homesteader to take government land in €ood faith. He sald he was in favor of public ownership of all lands and a gen- eral lease systam, citing the leasing of school Jands as an argument in his favor. ‘Want an Appropriation. A resolution was adopted petitioning the state legislature to appropriate $5,000 to be expended by the state experiment station under the direction of the Board of Re- gents of the State Agricultural college 1o experiments with grasses and forage plants suited to the ranges. A resolution was passed asking the state wveterinarian and his asslstants to enforce @s far as possidble the law as to control of the range and asking the government to recommend any additiofal appropria- tions that may be necessary for that pur- A resolution recommending W. B. Skin- mer as superintendent of the St. Louls ex- position was adopted. A resolution was also passed urging the Nebraska senators and representatives to support the Newlands-Hansbrough irriga- tion bill in congress. Mr. Richards gave an account of the ex- perience of the committee which went to ‘Washington for the purpcee of urging the and that there is law in congress, President Roosevelt and many prominent men suggested a bill spectally for Nebraska and believed it could be passed. Mr. Ricn- arce favored such a bill and made strong arguments in its bebalf. At his request s committee of five mem- bers of this assoclation was appointed to (éraft such & olll with a view to having it introduced in congress. | Ofcers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, 8.

Governor Savage accepted the resignation and promised to appolnt a successor within the next two or three weeks. “I have been contemplating the change for several months,” sald Mr. Mallalieu. “The offer made me was a tempting one and after talking the matter over with the governor and my friends concluded to ac- cept it. 1 shall make my residence at Idaho Springs, and I might add that I am now out of politics.” Equalization Board Rests.

When asked if the different rallroads would have representatives at the meeting tomorrow Auditor Weston, who ie & member of the board, sald: “The railroads have not been notified of any hearing by the board and I cannot say whether or not they will be represented.

Principal Davenport of the Lincoln High echool has summarily expelled Walter Lesh and Fred Hall for attempting to delay his correspondence. Lesh was a candidate for a position on the athletic team which participated in a contest in St. Joseph last Saturday. On Thursday the principal discovered that he was de- ficlent In his studies and gave orders dis- barring him from participating in the con- test. Lesh persisted, however, and on Friday u letter was written to the manager of the contest in St. Joseph motifying him that Lesh had been expelled. Lesh and Hall learned that this notice had been directed and succeeded in delaying the letter, The former accompanied the team and won in two events. The police of this eity have been unable to find any trace of Joseph Seddons of Persia, Ia., who came to Lincoln yesterday and kidpaped his 4-year-old adopted daughter Eva. Mrs. Seddons, wife of the man, came to Lincoln three weeks ago, and has since resided with her parents at 235 South Twentieth street. The husband arrived at noon, went directly to the house, and before resistance could be offered took the child and went back down town, Mrs. Seddons was in Omaha yester- day and had no knowledge of the abduc- tion until she returned late in the evening. Passenger Trains Collide. Burlington passenger trains Nos. 1 and 6, west and eastbound, collided at Green- wood about 6 o'clock this morning, but nobody was serfously hurt. Both trains resumed their runs at 8 o’clock. The ac- cldent occurred in front of the Greenwood station and was the result of a misunder- standing on the part of the train crews as to which irain should take the siding. The eastbound train, which left Lincoln at 5:20 a. m., was standing in front of the depot on the main track when the westbound train came upon it. The speed had been slackened, however, and it is likely the train could have been brought to a stop within the next fifty feet. One engine was badly damaged but the other one was only brulsed.
