D. D. Bronson, chief forest in spector for New Mexico and Ari- zona, has returned from a two weeks trip to the headquarters oi the various forest reserves in Arl- zona. The purpose of the tour was to note the progress being made in the permanent improve ments on the national forests Inspector Bronson reports that tn. work of the forest service in Arl zona Is progressing in all lines: that the ranges are in excellen, condition and stock of all kinds is in thriving condition. At 8 board of trade meeting in Nogales Arizona, the leading stockmen oi that section expressed themselves IS highly pleased with the work oi the forest service in the three nev reserves in that vicinity The -tockmen are cooperating with tn. forest service in building drift fences and reservoirs. They art especially pleased with the activity of the government in develupin, the water of the country, as this means success to the live stock industry. Reservoirs and tanks ire provided so that the water cal be held in reserve for the use stock in the dry season. On tho Huachuca national forest reserv, twenty one miles of drift fenc' nave been built, the forest servic. department furnishing the wire posts and staples and the stockmel doing the work.
 A forest service telephone lin, has been built from Flagstaff to Camp Verde, q distance of fit, miles for the purpose of bringing the supervisor in direct communi cation with the rangers. On all the reserves the work of buildins comfortab ble cabins for the rangers and trails Is going on, and tn. applications for agricultural lands are being investigated. The ex animation of all such lands will t. completed by December 15.
 A recommendation has beer forwarded to Washington that tn. part of the Grand Canyon national forest which is west of Cataract canyon, be opened again for pub lie entry as it was found unsuita bl. for forest reserve purposes. Tn. tract contains about 24O GOO acres Millions of feet of timber are being sold from the forests, and one con- tract, that of the Green la W Lum bei company, calls for 9O,OOC,O0O feet This company has installed al SSO,O0O mill on the San Francisc, mountain reserve. and the timhe contracted for will keep it going five years.

A grain containing % per cent. of

gerous grain to buy. Yet it's kernels

On the other hand, grain from
dry country, which contains IL per

not as handsome, as rule, and win
be graded lower. Yet this grain when
put into a ship for a voyage across the

The shipper actually stands to

MILLION DOLLARS NEEDED
FOR GRAIN INSPECTION

THE Indications are that the work
/ of the experimental laboratories
for the study of scientific grain in
spectfon and grading, recently estab-
Iished in ST. Louis, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and New York, will be carried on
next year on much more elaborate
scale than at present
The congressional appropriation for
the work this year is $4,000. Last
year Sic, 900 was considered sufficient.
It Is probable that next year Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson will urge con-
gress to spend $1,000, 900 or more in
this important field.
The plan is to appoint a general
commission to take general supervi-
sion of the entire business of deter
mining the grade and character of
grain.
The smallness of the appropriations
N the past have prevented the de-
pa rtment from doing great deal of
effective work. In fact, it is declared
by some of the experts on matters
pertaining to grains that the present
hit-or-miss method of inspection is ut
terly worthless.
For instance, II is pointed out, that
the most important factor in deter
mining the value and grade of wheat
is the proportion of moisture it con-
tains. This runs all the way from II

CAPTAINS to Whom Are In

Who Represent America S
Might on the Ocean.

New York-With the coming depar-
ture of the Atlantic fleet to Pacific
waters-waters which may be any
thing but pacific before the "far-fung
battle line" is withdrawn from these
seas-considerable interest arises in
the personality of the men who are to
command the vessels of this vast
armada.
Who are they. these sea warriors to
whose vigilance and skill will be in
trusted the management of the most
powerful fleet that was ever gathered
under one flag and which is soon to
undertake a voyage unparalleled in
its character-one that was recently
ineptIy hkened to Nelson's splendid
sweep from Brest to the West Indies
and back to the Notwithstanding day Of
Trafalgar"
There may be no Trafalgar-hke
clash of ornaments anywhere now
impending in the path of this great
fleet of warships; yet it is still inter
esting to recount the records of the
flag officers and captains, says
writer in the. New York Times.
New Yarn About Evans.
There are now three rear admirals
and 16 captains unfolding in this
fleet the honor of the flag. The rank
ing officer, Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, is not only the senior in the
fleet; he is the senior rear admiral in
active service-the officer next in rank
to Dewey, admiral of the navy.
The record of Rear Admiral Evans
is too well known to require any ex-
ended reference in this story of the
fleet and commanders.
Many anecdotes have been told of
Evans-the man whom Kipling has
described in verse as the one who has
lived more stories than most other
men-himself and Zogbaum included
could invent.
Here is one that has been recalled
by an old notebook which the writer
