next, which has passed the House, makes
it appear to the officials that as it stands
the bill, though intended to wipe out this
rank only after that date, would really
relegate the grade of major-general on
the retired list, or perhaps drop out OF
the army General Miles, Young, Chaffee,
Bates, Corbin and Macarthur.
This would follow from the failure OF
the House to limit the proposed aboli-
tion TO officers on the active list.

WANT MANY FORESTERS.
Good Government Positions Open in
Range Reserves of Montana.

BOHEMIAN, Mont, Dec. 6.-Super-
visor D. F. Conkling of the Gallatin
forest reserve announces that an ex-
animation for forest rangers will be
held in Bozeman in January to secure
men for the large number of new
places which will be open in the forest
service in Montana next season. He
expects to double his force in the Gal
latin reserve next season, and estimates
that in the reserves of the state fifty
new men will be needed next year.
These positions are in the classified
service, and offer permanent positions
at good salaries, and with many oppor-
tunities for advancement. So far there
have been plenty Of applicants.
Montana has offered but little local
opposition to the forest administration;
in this vicinity, between two import
ant reserves, there has been practi-
calily no opposition at all. Instead Of
interfering with the rights of the
stockmen in this vicinity, the service
has called attention to the fact that
there is enough unused range in the
Gallatin reserve bordering on the CAL
latin valley to provide for IS, 900 sheep,
and it is certain that this will be made
use of next season.

FATTY BLOCKED THE GAME.
Thanksgiving Feast Too Much for thu
Fat Conspirator.

BARBOURVILLE, KY, Dec. g.
Never allow a fat prisoner to lead the
way to freedom through an under
ground passage"
This lesson was learned by eight
prisoners in the Knox county Jail.
Perhaps the escape might have been
consummated had it not been for the
large Thanksgiving feast furnished
prisoners by the sheriff. The girth OF
the fat prisoner was 81 far increased
by the displacement necessary that I,
is thought to have been the reason for
his inability to get through.
The prisoners mad raised a cube from
the steel floor of a cell and in some
way hid all the dirt excavated. When
the time for the escape came the fat
prisoner was selected to lead the way,
He started, but soon stopped.
"Gawan, We bloke. Wot's ailin'
yer?" Kissed the second man in line.
A frantic waving of huge legs was
the only reply. The other seven in
their anger forgot the guards, who
heard the disturbance. The escape
was prevented and the fat prisoner
removed from the hole by means of
a block and tackle.

Residents in the eastern part OF
the city have called attention to the
danger that confronts property in that
section owing to the insecure condi-
ton of the banks of Mill creek below
the weir which diverts the water into
the Yellow Hawk and Garrison creeks.
According to property owners who
have investigated the situation, the
creek bank is exceedingly low for a
distance of nearly a quarter OF a
mile and should another flood come,
such as occurred last month, there is
grave danger that a new channel will
be cut through and property valued at
thousands of dollars destroyed. The
county commissioners, city officials
and property owners in the threatened
district should join hands in strength
ening the creek banks with b~Iliheads
or else s~traighten the channel.
