The ardor of the heroic rescuers was
not abated in the least by the condi-
tions which confronted them. For long
drearv hours, knee deep in the water,
and sometimes in water up to their
necks, they worked with might and
main. When night fell they could
proudly point to 800 or more rescues of
people who might otherwise have been
swept away in the current.
Briefly stated, the present SITUATION
is: Something over two hundred peo-
pie drowned; eight thousand people
without homes; four million dollars
loss of property; houses burned as
result of fire in the lumber yards. from
shaking lime, probably two hundred;
city water works plant useless.
Many Still Missing.

been by boats. Shortly after daylight
nine boats arrived from Ottawa on

service at once. More boats arrived
from Emporia at 10 o'clock, and hurry

The Originator OF Range Horse Sales
Billings, Mont, Oct. TO-, a. 1909.
Two Good Ends and a Middle

The above are the requirements for
a iirst-class draught horse; they are
also the requirements for a f~irst-class
range horse sale. First. II is neces-
sary TO have a large supply OF good
horses. Second: II is necessary TO
have plenty OF good buyers from
every section of the country. In the
third place II is equally necessary to
know how to conduct the sale. My
many sales during the past years
have proven that | have all Of these
requirements al every sale.
| have never yet advertised a sale
and failed TO have plenty OF buyers
for all the horses that were there. I
have Just completed a sale at Sheri-
dan, Wyoming. at which prices for
horses were higher than they have
ever been at my former sales. and I
believe higher than anyone has ever
sold horses for on the range.
Conditions are most favorable for
the sale of these horses In every sec
ton of the country, Canada and all
the northwest country contains good
buyers for all horses suitable for their
trade. Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri
nave abundant crops and farmers are
all anxious for horses III to feed out
for spring trade. The demand in the
east for horses ready for service is
equally good. and the demand for
small horses in the south, where cot
ton is selling for from ten to twelve
cents a pound. where in former years
ii has sold for four and four and a
half, Is unusually strong.
! am confident that this sale at
Billings will be one of the best sales
that | have ever made and that you
will not have a better opportunity tn
sell your horses. Remember the date
and get your horses ready az soon ar
possible.

was present for the purpose of specially
cross-examining the witnesses. 1t is
his business to attend all timber land
cases in the district, the object being
to prevent the fraudulent entry of gov.
erument land as much as possible. He
is also empowered to look into the
cutting of timber on government land,
by persons other than settlers. There
has been much complaint on this score
in the eastern section of Amador, where
shakemakers have played havoc with
the finest spruce timber. The pre-.
cauGion comes rather late to do much

is the IL. $. !!rtring that has taken place

act. The presence OF Mr.. Stidger

MAY BE FOREST RESERVES.
Government Lands Temporarily With
drawn From Entry to That End.

Register John D. Maxey, of the
S ocktOn United States Land Office,
has recently received letter from The
department of the interior notifying
him that $50, 900 acres of land in this
district had been temporarily with
drawn from entry, pending an investi-
cation. 1t is proposed that "a forest
reserve be established.
The land is located in Tuolumue. Ma
dera, Mariposa and Fresno counties,
and is strip from twelve to TWENTY
four miles in width and about 100 miles
in length. A good portion of it is very
valuable for tim Der purposes and some
months ago large number of filipgs
were made by people who are supposed
to have been interested in securing the
timber. a commission will probably
be named to visit the land and decide
as 10 the advisability of forming n
forest reserve.
The California Water and Forest
Association has been making a fight to
have large acreage of land in the
mountains withdrawn from entry and
turned into forest reserves. The or
ganization wishes to have sufficient
property held by the government to
make 1t possible to establish reservoirs
for the empounding of large quantity
oil water for irrigation purposes,
The register and receiver at Sacra-
mento received a similar notification
Wednesday. In the Sacramento dis
trict eighty-siX townships were tempo
rarily withdrawn and an investigation
will be made OF that property looking
towards the establishment of another
big reserve. The land is in Sierra, Ne
vada, Placer, Ell Dorado, Amador and
Calaveras cOun ties, and includes about
all OF the government land in
those counties not already entered or
now known as forest reserves.
Should 1t be decided that these two
immense tracts of land are to be turned
Into forest reserves, those who have
entered on part of the property will
be given scrip, which will entitle them
10 other property in this or some other
state.
The Water and Forest Association
hopes 10 convince the authorities that
both tracts withdrawn should be turn
ed into forest reserves.
he ,etter to Mr.. Maxey says:
The temporary withdrawal or any per.
manent reservation which may follow.
Will not affect any bona-fide settlement

properly instituted prior to the date
hereof, and duly placed of record with.
