The real issue before the interstate commerce commission just now ap- pears to be whether the railroads con- trol the mines or the mines the rail- roads. In other words, has the whale swallowed Jonah or has Jonah swal- lowed the whale?

pervisor and Increase
of Rangers.

Assistant Forest Inspector NJ. l..
Erickson, who will leave for Washing
ton on official business next Friday,
has compiled summary Of the busi-
ness transacted in connection with the
1emez Forest Reserve, during the past
few months for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what has been done, and after
completing the work he is convinced
that the Jemez Reserve is the busiest
owned by the government.
During this year so far $40 applica.
tions have been received by Inspector
Erickson for grazing permits on the
Jemez Reserve ranges. OF these 295
were for cattle and horses and 215
were for goats and sheep 1t is con
|servatively estimated that | 500 horses,
4,500 cattle 5000 goats and 2S5,000
sheep are included in these permits
The greater part of the sheep are
being herded in districts one, two,
three and seven and are distributed as
follows District No /, in the Chama
Mountains, G3500; District No. q in
the vicinity of FL Rito and Vallecitos,
$4,000; in District No. 8, in the Can
jalon Mountains, $4,000, and in District
No I, in the Capuin Mountains, $4,000
According to the rates charged and the
estimated amount of stock herded OH
the Jemez Reserve, the government
will receive fees amounting to $4,000
from the applicants
Ovee Two Billion Feet OF Lumber
OF even more Importance To The
Jeme2 Reserve is the timber industry
sale Of $4,000 600 feet Of timber
from which the government will real
iae approximately 100000 has been
practically consummated. Merchant
able timber on the .Iemez Reserve is
selling at from two to three dollars
thousand and it is estimated that there
are approximately 2,2G0 900. 900 feet
BY merchantable timber Is meant
trees of sixteen inches or more in
diameter. Before cutting all trees are
marked and it is necessary that the
company to which the timber has been
sold complys with the specifications
made by the division of forestry. This
lis done in order to prevent the sup
ply from becoming exhausted. There
ARE many trees under sixteen inches
in diameter, and in the course of a
few years another cutting can be made
Inspector Erickson states that the tim
Der possibilities of the reserve will
be benefited as a result of the cut
ting of the larger trees. After they
have been taken from the forests the
smaller trees will secure all the mois,
ture and nourishment from the soil
which will assist them wonderfully in
their growth.
More Men to Be Selected for Rangers.
There are at present ten rangers
employed on the Jemez Reserve and
this number will be increased during
the season of forest fires, the new men
to be selected from elgibles who will
pass the civil service examination to
be held in this city on May 10 An
examination will also be held on May
IA, at which time a new forest super
visor will be selected

POKER; LOSE
HEAVILY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Oct. by means Of a
bogus police raid on sure-thing poker
game, Alexander and William McWhir-
ter, two recent arrivals from Scotland,
claim to have been robbed of $4,000 in
this city on September 1S.
En- route to Los Angeles the brothers
stopped here and were inveigled into a
card game by affable strangers. A raid
was made by two pretended policemen,
one of whom took. it is alleged. $500 of
the $4,000 McWhirter had when he sat
in the game.
The other "officer" attempted to es-
cape from the McWhirters, but they
forced him to t..ke them to the police
station.
,rhe stranger conferred with Chief of
Police George Sheets and came back
with $1,000, which was restored to the
Scots. Later they proceeded to Los
Angeles and secured counsel and re-
turned to Salt Lake yesterday to prose.
cute search for their money.
Chief Sheets says that the man who
brought the. McWhirters to the station
was not an officer and that he did not
look into the case at the time because
he thought the trouble was merely a
difference over some business transac-
ton.
