FORAGE ON THE RANGES.
An Interesting Problem Confronting
the Agricultural Department Experts.

Bulletin No IS of the bureau Of plant in
dustry of the Department Of Agriculture
contains an exhaustive statement Of the
forage conditions and problems in eastern
Washington, eastern Oregon, northeastern
California and northwestern Nevada, pre-
pared by DR.. David Griffiths. assistant in
charge of the range Investigations of the
grass and forage plant investigation.
This is the third paper in the series pre-
pared by DIR. Griffiths bearing on the gen.
eral subject of range management, two
previous reports having been published as
bulletins of the bureau of plant industry.
Nos. and Is. The present report discusses
existing conditions on the ranges of eastern
Washington, eastern Oregon, northeastern
California and northwestern Nevada,
points out the causes which have led to the
present depleted condition Of most of the
range country. and suggests needful
changes in present methods of utilizing the
scanty feed to be found ION most of the
honorable lands of the west.
1t is noteworthy that the one factor
which has contributed more than any other
to the depletion of the ranges is 1.-the de-
velopment of hay production on irrigated
land in the range region. As long as stock
was compelled to subsist the year round on
the range the limited supply of winter feed
rendered 1t impossible to support enough
stock to make serious inroads on the more
abundant summer growth. The forage
plants of the ranges were thus permitted
to make seed. But with the advent of hay
for winter feed the amount of stock that
could be handled increased till in many
places the summer growth on the range
was entirely consumed, leaving no chance
for the production of seed. AS result
many thousands of acres of land that for
merly furnished abundant pasture are now
devoid of any growth that stock will eat.
while plants of no value and which are
not disturbed by the grazing stock have
spread rapidly over these areas.
1t is clear that suggestions for the i'm
Of IN he n
value must come from those who are not
only familiar with the condition OF the
ranges, but who also understand the condi-
lions under which stock must be handled
on the range. In obtaining the material
used in preparing this paper DIR. Griffith
has travelled 1, 700 miles in the range coun-
try, mostly by wagon. but no small part
of this distance has been covered afoot On
this journey every stockman on the route
was interviewed. and in this way much
valuable information was collected

NOT AN OFFENSIVE TERM.
The Sting Has Been Taken Out OF the
Appellation yankee"

..Vhen YOU come to think of ii there is
no special reason, no good reason at any
rate, why the man from the north should
feel offended when referred to as a Yam
kee," said H. ]. Wheelock Of New Orleans
to a Star man at the New Willard, and
yet it is a rather curious fact that men and
women from that section of the country do
not like the word when it is applied to
them. Probably the time was when the
use of the word Yankee in the south was
meant to carry sting with it. Yankee
trick for instance and Yankee shrewd-
ness. meant something not exactly agree
able just after the war. But all that Is
changed now I was thinking more par
ticularly of the etymology of the word
Yankee I was turning over the pages Of
Skeats the other day when came upon
the word Yankee was defined as a citizen
of New England, or of the United States,
and suggestively is of Scandinavian origin.
The term was used in Boston early as
1765. DR.. William Gordon says 1T was a
favorite cant word in Cambridge. Mass.
as early as lib. and that 1t meant excel
lent as a Yankee good horse 1t is sug-
gested. too, that the word probably spread
through New England as the result of its
use by the students at Cambridge. 1t has
the country. 1t seems to be related to
YANKEE meaning a sharp. clever forward
woman, and to 'yanker.' which means an
agile girl, an incessant talker. smart
stroke.
I'VE also have a hint of the word in
yank.' jerk, to jerk smart blow. So
yanky means quick. spry. 'Yank' is from
the Scandinavian 'yack,' to talk fast,
yalke.' blow.
But the point I had in mind was that
there is nothing offensive about the word
in its use now. Europeans speak of the
American citizen, no matter what section
of the United States he halls from, as a
Yankee. and they talk about Yankee
shrewdness' making serious inroads on the
trading rights of foreign countries. Yam
kee' is good word, and the man and
woman to whom it is applied. either In it's
narrow or broad sense, are of God"
Regarding the etymology Of Yankee" It
has been contended that 1t came from the
efforts of the aboriginal Indians to pro-
nounce the word English. Their best effort
was "Yengleese,' and even this success was
painful. The transition to Yankee" was
easy.

He denied eight applications and exercised
clemency in four.
He pardoneds Lauretta Earl convicted In
the central district OF Indian territory OF
adultery and sentenced to ten months in
Jail. The district attorney and trial judge
recommended pardon in this case because
the woman was convicted on circumstantial
evidence, which was weakened by testi-
mony produced after the trial as to her
previous excellent reputation in Canada.

that she was driven from home by the mis-
conduct of her husband, who subsequently
was the prosecuting witness against her.
The Attorney General also recommended
pardon. ~ Hf2a

Pardon Denied Murderers.

Among the denied cases are three murder
cases. in each of which the defendant is
sentenced to be hanged.
Tanbara Gisahuro, japanese, was con-
victed in Hawaii of murder on the high
seas, and was sentenced to be hanged on
December 26, 1902 On December "a the
governor of Hawaii granted an indefinite
reprieve, in order to permit the defendant
to apply to the President for clemency. The
Attorney General, in reporting the case to
the President, said that "the record In this
case discloses that the petitioner is guilty
of cruel and deliberate murder. His trial
was scrupulously fair, and no reasons are
disclosed that would justify an interference
with the execution Of the sentence imposed
by the trial court" He advised that the
application be denied, and that the reprieve
granted by the governor be continued in
denied the application, and continued the
reprieve to noon of August IA, at which
time the sentence will be executed.
Charles Barrett was convicted in the
murder and was sentenced to be hanged on
July IT. He shot from ambush an old
mana miser-who was supposed to have
considerable money eecreted upon his per-
son. and robbed him, but left behind in the
pockets of the dead man several hundred
dollars The trial Judge and district at
torney advised against clemency. The At
torney General, after reading all the evil
dence, also advised against clemency, and
the President denied the application. =.
Woman Tortured a Chiu1d to Death.
Dora Wright, negro woman about thirty
years DID, was convicted In the same dis
trict Of murder and was sentenced to be
hanged on July II. The Attorney General
in his report to the President said:
THE real facts in this case are that this
woman tortured to death little child seven
years old, her niece, whom she was pre-
tending to care for and support. She whip
ped the child most numerically with large
switches, struck it about the hand and face
SO as to cause wounds sufficient to produce
death. burned holes in its legs and thighs
with heated poker, and committed other
nameless atrocities upon the person of the
child. The testimony shows that the wo-
man pursued course Of cruelty which was
hendish and barbarous. The only
ground upon which her pardon is sought is
that she is woman. and that the infliction
OF the death penalty upon a woman would
