Gifford Pinchot discusses the results of a conference in Denver, noting that the “stockmen” are in favor of government control over the whole range. Pinchot suggests that President Roosevelt write to John W. Springer congratulating him on the outcome of the conference, since Springer “is feeling somewhat hurt” that Roosevelt did not support him when he was a candidate for mayor. Pinchot discusses forest reserves in the Northern and Southern Pacific. He believes Secretary Wilson’s visit to Denver was “a most pronounced success.”
