has been the most important task laid
upon the forest service 1t is cause for
congratulation that the loss by fire dur
ing the year was so slight. Indeed, thu
saving which resulted from the organ
lied care o. the reserve force was I'M
doubtedly worth more than the whole
cost of administ ering the reserves. Only
about eight fires of any consequence &C.
Cured on the reserves during the calen-
dar year 1905, a season of extreme dry
ness and one in which under ordinary cir
cumstances the damage from fires should
have been unusually large. This small
number was due in large part TO the sys-
TEN of patrol which leads to the discov-
cry of fires before much damage has been
done. So far during the calendar year
1906 the damage from fire has been ex-
tremely small, even in comparison with
that in 1905. Increased efficiency of the
patrol system. combined with favorable
climatic conditions, has led to this IA
vorable result.

Houston Mo-, Dec 21.-The hanging
to-day of Joda Hamilton a young farmer,
for the murder of five of the family of
Barney Parsons, was unusually gruesome.
Two attempts ewere necessary before the
execution was successful. The first rope
broke as Hamilton shot through the
trap. The spectators saw Hamilton drop
to the ground and lie there writing He
was quickly picked up semi-conscious
and carried second time to the scat

and placed about his neck and five
minutes after the first attempt, the trap
was sprung the second time. The second
attempt was successful.
The attending physician expressed the
belief that Hamilton was fatally injured
by the first fall and died before he drop
