Forest Reserve News

Washington, Sept. 5-That tht
 applications for listing of agri
 cultural lands in the national for
 ests may be made as easy anC
 simple as possible for the home
 seeker, the forest service has issu
 ed a blank form which is expect
 ed to prove of much benefit tc
 those applying for land under the
 act of June Ii, 1906.
 Intending settlers were former.
 ly informed that no set form ot
 application was necessary, but
 that they should describe the land accurately in a letter to the Forester. In attempting to com ply with these instructions, ap- pllcants would frequently omit some very necessary facts and sometimes the descriptions were so indefinite that an examination was not warranted because for est officers would not have been able to locate the claim from the description.
 The new form is very simple and will assist persons as much as possible in order to avoid the necessity of a return of applica- ton because of indefinite descrip- tlons. It IS a two sheet folder, with the first page reserved for the application, the second and third for the forest service regu- latlOns under the act and the amendments. On the back of the form IS a township map which will make 1t easy to make an ac- curate location of the claim.
 Applicants who fill out this -orm will avoid delay in the ex- of the land they wish to enter. They may be obtained elther from the Supervisors of the various national forests or upon application to the Forester. Washington, D. C.
 The work of examining lands or which applications have al eady been made is progressing in all the national forests md all of the applications now 'f record will be acted on during he next two months. Whenna 1Onal forests are created, agri- ultural lands are carefully ex- luded from the boundaries, but IS impossible to cut out small of agricultural lands and hese areas are opened to settle 1ent under the act of June II, 9O6.

ON CHARGE OF
STEALING OWN HORSE.
So Says Belleville Woman, Who Was
Taken Into Custody on Connec-
ticut Charge.

Criminal Court this morning Acting Judge

necticut authorities look into the circum-
stances, which differ somewhat from the
story originally told to the Newark police.
About five months ago Mrs. Kurz claims
that she was interested in backing a dog
slicw OF Warmers. Business was bad
and money went quickly. During the short
tour. she says, she purchased a horse, or
rather bought 1t through Warner. Later
Warner traded 1t for her and got another
horse. which is the one now claimed to
have been stolen by Mrs. Hhrz and her
SON., She left Connecticut with the rig
last week,
Deputy Sheriff Wilson sent a telegram
to the local police asking them to arrest
the couple as soon as they arrived in this
city. Tuite and Horter went to the Penn
sylvania station yesterday. and when the
woman appeared there for her trunk,
placed her under arrest. She claims at
least part ownership of the horse and
buggy.

SCORES DICKINSON
COLBY ALSO CRITICISED AT
DENTAL CONVENTION.
Applause Follows Caustic References to
Secretary of States Name on
Society Certificates.

Delegates to the thirty-seventh an
nual convention of the New Jersey
State Dental Society, which met in
Asbury Park last week are still COM
menting upon the caustic criticism
made by DR.. Charles s.. Stockton in his
address to the convention on the action
of the Legislature in passing a law re-
curing dental certificates to be signed
by the present Secretary of State. DR..
Stockton's scorching reference to Colo
mel Dickinson was ~applauded and he
proceeded to arraign Senator Everett
Colby in similar fashion. His speech
with reference to these matters was as
follows:
Now, this legislative committee, that
the President referred to, | think has far
exceeded the object for which it was APP
pointed. They have brought in a new law
entirely. The old law has worked well,
there is no question about that. and l
don't see Why It should be changed. Is
there anybody here today who would care
TO have a certificate of membership, or
who would, rather. have a license to
practise dentistry In the State of New
Jersey signed by our present Secretary Of
state? Not a single one of you would
want to have a certificate to practice dem
tiStrY IN this state SlBneu ny SuCn d man.
II say to you that the dentist should
have his license signed by dentists, not by
the chairman of the Board of Health or
some other outside individual altogether.
Let us stick to that which has carried
us safely over the rough places for so
many. years, rather than to join something
that we know nothing of and set aside
the men who have done the work, men
whose names should go on the certificates
Of those who pass their examination,
rather than the president of some board
or the secretary of a council that perhaps
knows nothing about the character or
qualifications of these men. And perhaps.
while l am on my feet, 1t would not be
to say that we, as dentists of the
state of New Jersey. / speak of it in con
nection with this new law, would not be
un wise to steer clear of the New Idea
politics headed by Everett Colby.
I'VE tried to induce him to help us
in the old bin when the new bill was
brought up, and we couldn't induce him
bv any possible means TO change his view.
He wanted the appointment of examiners
put in the hands of the Governor. without
your aid or consent. totally disregarding
his principle of government by the people,
and putting 1t into the hands OF the poll
ticians. and while twenty other gentlemen
voted solidly against him. he voted to
make our society a political movement.
From that day on l have not had, and l
don't believe from this time on / ever
will have, any particular use for Everett
Colby"
