NO MAN"S LAND EEFORE CONGRESS
As may be inferred from what has already been told of the history
of this country the first ambition of the people was to have the strip
organized as a separate territory It was only a potato patch in size
as compared with the states and terrtiories that bounded them but
it wss larger than Rhode Island and Delaware in fact could support
a greater population than both of these states put together
According to the people here the rapid settling of No Man's Land
attracted no end of land sharks who made every effort to grab the
land under cover of law They prepared a bill which Senator Plumb of
Kansas got through the senate which would have extended the laws
of the United States over the territory by attaching the Strip to Kan-
sas for judicial purposes
It ordered the completing of the survey of the Strip but made no
appropriations for the expense of the surveyors So of course the sur-
vey could not have been completed and Senator Plumb knew it
couldn't It made no provisions whatever for any local government
had this bill become a law the owner of land script of whom the
people here say Senator Plumb is the chief would have gobbled the
best of the territory including town sites The sole protection for life
and property even in such a popular neighborhood as Beaver City
would have been the United States Court at Wichita some hundreds
of miles away The power of this court is seen in the condition of

affairs in Indian Territory over which it extends and where over 1
three hundred lives were taken unlawfully during the year and blood
would have flowed like water under this bill in No Man's Land and
Plumb knew it This bill was actually worked through both houses
but when President Cleveland's attention was called to the effect he
vetoed it
A similar scheme which the people here say that Senator Plumb
had on foot was the location of a land office at Vorhees Kansas a
townsite in which they say the Senator is largly interested This in-
cluded the attaching of the Strip to Kansas for judicial purposes
A third bill was the Oklahoma bill this received the united support
of the people in No Man's Land It creates a new territory with local
government complete out of that part of the Indian Territory west
of the civilize 3 tribes and including No Mans IÃmd This bill is of
course strongly opposed by cattle owners who occupy the whole part
of the Indian Territory included in the bill The people here asserts
that Senator Plumb is interested in the cattle and is the mouth piece
of the cow men One company pays the Cherokee Nation over two
hundred thousand dollars a year for a lease of seven million acres
Other companies pay equally absurd prices for other parts of the land
In spite of the depression in the cattle market these men are getting
rich hand Over fist This territory is the last foothold of the cattlemen
for all other ranges thioughout the West have been invaded by the
much hated home seeker It's a misfortune for the people of No Man's
Land who have in equity a right to the claims they occupy that their
demands for law and justice would have to wait on the discussions a
the propriety of opening a part of Indian Territory but there seems
no other hopes for them The area of this terriory is too small to
permit them to be organized as a separate tetritory and as already
shown the bills to attach them to organized territories have been
conceived in a desire to defraud What with the influence of the
cattlemen and the opposition also of the people of western Kansas
who want their vacant lands settic-d before No Man's Laral is opened
the people here are likely to start before !4-e-y get the legislation which
alone is needed to create here a remarkably flourishing community
CHAPTER XI
COI77TERFErrERS AND MOONSIIINERS
Very little can be learned here about the making of silver coin and
of moonshine whiskey in No Man's Land There is a distillery they
say over on Clear Creek and the product is brought here and taken
elsewhere about this Territory and sold Two men ventured to
"bootleg it" into Kansas and got caught by prohibitionists and are
now in the State prison None of the salon keepers here I iys a
license although all of them did so until Dr Chase went to Wash-
ington as a delegate and learned that there was no law under which
they could be punished if they refused to pay The counterfeiting was
done in a sod house in the northeast corner of No Mans Land not far
from Englewood Kansas There were two men in the business and
they got on very well for a time by dodging back across the line when-
ever the officers got after them in Kansas But they ventured over
once too often and were caught and are now in prison Bad they come
to Beaver and got caught they never would have been sent to prison

THE CLIMATE IS HARD TO BEAT
From the Territorial Advocate of December 12:
Who could wish for a finer climate than ours? Grapes 13 re still
hanging on the vines still uninjured by frost There has been no fire
in our office for two weeks except a little each morning It is unnec-
cessary to go to California to find a perfect climate
From the Territorial Advocate of September 21st:
The Advocate failed to make its appearance last week This due to
a cyclone which carried the roof of our office away and covered the

How the Grass Is Harvested Is One
Of Most Important Farm Problems
BY THE SCS
Harvesting native grasses is
one of the most important pro
grams facing the ranchers and far-
mers of Beaver County The har-
vesting of native glass is accom-
plished in several ways The first
I and most abundant way of har-
vesting native grass is by grazing
! it with live3tock Second much
native grass is mowed and baled
for hay Third where good seed
crops are produced the seeds are
combMed and the dry hay is
mowed and baled and used for bed
ding of livestock where there is a
need lot this kind of hay
We would like to bring to the
attention of ranchers and farmers
the importance of harvesting na-
tive grass by use of livestock This
method of harvesting perennial
grass is very important to all of
Beaver County in that about
500000 acres of the county are
covered with grasses of some kind
and the livestock industry of the
county has been reduced to a min-
imum because the droughts and
overstocking has reduced the
range production to a very low
amount of residue on each acre of
range land
These range lands must be con-
sidere(l as very valuable the same
as crop lands and the best solution
to getting abundance of grass is
in installing good grass manage-
ment on all grass land for each
ranch or farm
The main rule to follow is to
harvest part of it and keel) part
of it Nvhich hrings us to the choice
that is necessary how much of
each shall it be? Most researchers
and ranchers who have really
studied the problem say eat or
graze about half of it and keep
about half There are some very
good reasons for the figures com-
ing out that way The answers lie
in the way grasses grow Nature
installed in the green leaves of
grass an ingenious device that
takes carbon dioxide gas out of
the air and with sunlight supply-
jag the energy builds more grass
leaves and stems
Water and other materials com-
ing in to the plant through the
roots are also used in these new
tissues Part of the food thus
manufactured in the leaves is
sent down into the roots where it
is stored for future use The first
leaves of spring are made from
this food that was stored up last
year As soon as the new shoots
come out they begin to manufac-
ture their own food and to build
other shoots and leaves The first
thing you know grass is growing
all over the place
What happens when a cow nips
off a leaf? That part of the fac-
tory shuts down until repairs are
made and the leaf is growing
again What happens when all the
leaves are nipped off? Why—the
whole plant shuts down for re-
pairs then some of the reserve

place the eaten portion Little or
no reserve food is needed The
plant stays healthy and growing
it actually expands The half that
you can harvest grows larger and
larger The root system goes deep-
er to better water and mineral
supplies Grass comes out early
and more rainfall gets into the
ground Next thing you know you
are in business Of course good
and proper use of grazing lands is
not that simple A great deal of
thought must go into a sound
management program Weather
and other factors come into the
pictue but principle is constant
You can't have your grass and eat
all of it but you can manage well
and continuously have grass a
plenty Even some for droughty
years The beauty of it is in the
long run you ‘vill come out with
more than you started with
We here at the Soil Conserva-
tion Office can help you ranchers
and farmers with a range impro-
vement program by making a
range survey and determine the
kind and amount of grass that you
actually have on the ground
The Beaver County District
Supervisors are fully aware of the
need of range improvement and
better management over the en-
tire county and they are trying
to help the ranchers and farmers
plant desirable grasses on the
Soil Bank Reserve land and on
other lands where a cover is suf-
ficient to prevent seeds from
blowing out of the seed beds
They have seven planters in op-
eration and the new acres of grass
planting is growing daily
