BY THE LONG DROUGHT Government Opens National Forests to Them, Grazing Areas Failing. By Associated Press. Washington, June 12. Reports hav ing reached the forestry service or threatened losses of Bheep at Beveral western points because of the drought, statement was Issued today placing at the disposal of sheep owners graz' ing areas in certain of the national forests. Steps to ascertain where the most auitabi grazing districts are sit uated already have been taken.

Prior to this the commission had un der consideration the matter of insti tuting an inquiry on its own Initiative. Its authority so to do was unques tioned, but in view of litigation over the receivership of the 'Frisco lines and the disinclination to inject Itself voluntarily Into a situation that al ready was in the hands of the courts, it was deemed wiser to await affirma tive direction by either the senate or the house, or both. . Immediately upon receipt of official notice of the passage of the Kenyon resolution, the commission set Its ma chinery In motion. Preliminary work was begun yesterday In New York by agents of the division of carriers' ac counts, acting by direction of IComV missioner Harlan, who is in charge of that branch of the commission's,, work. , . : 'The Inquiry will deal with all op erations of the 'Frisco lines since the reorganization of the system In 1896. That will Include Its relations with the Rock Island; Its purchase of the Chi cago & Eastern Illinois; with what are regarded as the peculiar phases or that deal;, and with the acquisition by the 'Frisco of leased lines at rentals which are declared by those familiar with them to be extravagant and un warranted, i Preliminary work In the Inquiry will be conducted by the division of carriers' accounts. When Its work shall have been concluded, a report will be made to the commission of all the facts developed. After that report the committee probably will Issue an order declaring a formal inquiry in tne wnoie matter of the 'Frisco's operations. Hearings will be held, arguments will be heard. A report will then be submitted to the senate with such comments and rec ommendations as may be suggested. TO WANT LAW TO STOP SLAUGHTER OF CALVES By Associated Press. Washington. J una 12.
