chueach Forest Reserve

chugach Forest Reserve
 The PBosPECToR is indebted to MT. Langiile, Supervisor, Forss. Ps5srre, Department of Agriculture, for ihe following facts relative to the Chugsch National Forest Reserve:
 The Chugach National Foreat was created by President Roosevelt's pro- clamation dated July 2, 1907.
 It includes all the territory bounded on the east by Copper jeiver from its mouth to the summit of the Cbugacb mountains thence along che divide of these mountains to the portage between Portage Bay and Turnagain Arm; thence along the shores of the Kenai Peninsula to Cape Puget, and includes all the islands in and adjacent to Prince William Sound, an approximate @ area of 4,9OO0,OOO acres.
 The purpose of the Government in setting aside this area as a national forest, is solely to retain the timber under it's control, thereby perpetuating a permanent timber supply available at all times for all people, to the exclusion of those who would attempt to acquire and hold the timber for speculative purposes.
 There is general erroneous impress sion that the creation of national for est prevents the use of the land or forest products within it, when tho re- verse is the case. Laws and regula- tions provide for t.:e use of the lands. and all dead and mature green timber is for sale at reasonable stumpage price, which is based on the economic conditions of the region at the time of purchase. Mine owners within the forest may use without charge all tim Der within the bounds of their claims, timber taken from outside these lines are subject to the following charges
 Saw timber, all kinds, 50 cents per M. Filling of all kinds E cent per linear foot. Cordwood all kinds, twenty five cents per cord. All stumpage is pay able in advance, and cutting without permit. constitutes trespass.
 Twenty-Five cords of firewood and 10000 feet, board measure, of saw logs, may be cut each year by any citizen for personal use. Homesteads and other valid claims within the forest in- itiated previous to the proclamation will not be affected.
 A forest officer will be stationed at Valdez who will furnish any desired information, and to him all applications for the purchase of timber should be nadn

TIDES OF THE OCEAN.
Regularity Of the Flow and Ebb Of the
Restless Waters.

OF all the operations of nature in
the whole world there are none more
regular in their courses than the tides
Of the ocean, So perfect is their ac-
ton and so constant are they in their
ebb and flow that the big maritime
governments are able to figure out
the height of each and every tide for
every day and night more than year
in advance for any part of the earth's
surface
In most places the tides run about
four to the tWenty-four hours, two be-
ing food, when the water sweeps in
from the sea and makes what is known
as high water, and two being ebb.
when it sweeps back to the ocean, leay-
ing low water.
Each of these tides lasts about six
hours-that is, for five hours or more
the waters are on the move, rushing
in Or out, and they cease for a time.
standing quite still FL some places.
Sometimes tide will run flood Oh
the surface while it is running ebb be-
low near the bottom. Places where
this happens are always likely to make
danger spots for the mariner.
In the majority of places the tides
rise and fall only a few feet, but on
shores where the banks are very steep.
falling off abruptly into deep water, it
often happens that the tide when it
rises comes in so fast that it pOurs
through all narrow openings in cas-
cade-like torrents, making such things
as the famous ''bores' which may be
seen in places like the bay of Fundy.
In other places, again, there will be
more or less than four tides in the
twenty-four hours. Furthermore, there
are localities where hardly any tidal
action at all can be observed. All
these peculiarities have been studied
and are taken into account nowadays
by the observers who make up the
tidal tables.

Advice For Those With Rheumatism
Gout, Eczema and Neuralgia.
If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, govt, eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fire.
quent cause of these arrangements is
an excess Of nutritive materials. The
blood is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to-
cure such affections is to stop the
cause Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritiye materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount Of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
~ to crystalline especially in these
portions Of the body where the circuIa-
ton is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water: eat less food.
This is prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects of
urate poisoning will disappear

The Revue Hebdomadaire publishes
an anecdote on Victor Hugo which by
many will be considered very charac-

period, fed together from Paris. A

Schoelcher at his table in Brussels, the
poet said: Yes, my dear friend you

MAN AND HIS HAT.
They Are Firmly Bound Together by
the Red Tape of Society.

There are things, it is a comfort to
know, which even a man cannot do,
and man is supposed to be able to do
almost anything. Now, a novelist may
put his herOine's hat on her head at
any angle he chooses-it is one Of the
few privileges of womanhood-and
leave her not a bit less charming or
dignifed, but I defy him to put his
hero's hat at rowdy angle over his
ear at crucial point in his career and
leave him still heroic! The Achilles
heel of q man is his hat! He must
guard that as he does his reputation,
for it is at once his strength and his
weakness.
It would hurt an archbishop-and an
archbishop necessarily stands for all
that is good and great-less in the eyes
of the public to commit crime than
to wear his hat on the back of his
sacred head-real back-and so exhibit
himself to his distressed diocese. He
may have all the known virtues and
many that are not known, but even an
archbishop cannot with impunity defy
convention Still, if he is so inclined,
why should not good and great man
wear his hat over his nose without
! creating unfavorable comment? The
fact is he cannot. He is ruled by con-
vention, and convention is the red tape
Of society.
| The cast iron laws of fashion, which
! is only another name for convention,
) are such that if the greatest man in
England were to walk with all his ac-
customed dignity from the Marble arch
to the bank with trailing peacock S
feather attached to the band Of his i'm
maculate silk hat he would be followed
! by mob in two seconds, and by the
I time he reached We're street the out

BURNING IN .EFFlGY.
A Custom Born of the Superstition
of the Ancients.

A Custom Born of the Superstition
of the Ancients.
The burning of people in efhgy has
come from foolish superstition of the
ancients, who believed that by burn
ing a likeness of person they were
inficting pain upon the individual him
self. Theocritus tells us that the Greek
sorcerers killed their enemies by magic
rites performed over the efigy of the
person who had offended them, and
Virgil also makes mention of this.
In the days Of witchcraft and perse-
cution one of the most common charges
against witches was that they made
waxen images of their enemies which
they melted before a fire and thus
caused the dissolution Of the originals.
The Japanese still regard the efigy
as a means of punishment of faithless
lovers, andsin France to the time of
the first revolution execution by efigy
was a legal rite. In the Netherlands
the same illogical custom prevailed,
and the different religions burned the
effigies of each others leaders with
zeal. In England the burning of eff
figies was also practiced, as it was
later in America.
No doubt from the ancient custom Of
burning the efhgy arose the idea of
placing the wax figures of eminent men
in Westminster abbey. In olden times
upon the death Of celebrity a waxen
figure representing him fully dressed
as in Life was made and carried in the
rear of the funeral procession. After
the service the efgy was set up in the
| church as temporary monument, and
during the time it was on exhibition il
was customary to paste Or pin pieces
of paper containing complimentary
epitaphs upon it. The royal figures i'll

Trapping the smaller members of the

secure live specimens of the orang

chop at the trees within q radius Of
fifty feet all about the simian fortress.
No trunk is cut completely through,
but is left with just enough fiber to
hold the tree in position. This work is
quickly accomplished with the large
corps of servants, and at signal one
of the trees is toppled over. The chop

the twinkIing of an eye the trees with

the orang outangs with no opportunity

The gong glimmered pale and huge

waves upon a low beach. He tapped it
