The 'agitation over the Colorado forest reserves and the activities of Glfford Plnchot broke into open fire before the Transmlsslsslppl congress Friday afternoon, and after a hot debate a resolution calling upon congress for a law' declaring for a division of the agricultural, mineral and forest lands, was passed. The resolution was the one presented, by former Senator Patterson oi Colorado. It bad been in committee for two day tnd the" feeling was abroad m the congress" That it Was ah evert attack on Plnchot, and this assertion was made on the floor by Frank Gowdy of Denver, who opposed the action. Mr. Patterson said he had no intention of attacking Mr. Plnchot, and wanted merely a settlement once for in all of the Plnchot controversy, which it has been charged that Mr. Plnchot has overlooked technicalities In reserving forest lands. . Instantly the floor was alive with prospective speakers for and against the resolution, and it continued to be so until Mr. Gowdy offered an amendment commending the forestry policies of the administration. This was accepted by Mr. Patterson, and in turn Mr. Gowdy accepted the Patterson resolution. Both were passed, and this effectively, it is believed, stops tho forestry dispute which has been the factor most feared through the session. .... .
