The public lands OF the United States
should - utilized In similar fashion. Our
present public land laws were passed
when there was a vast surplus of vacant
public land. The chief desire was to
secure settlers thereon. and comparative
ly slight attention was paid as to exactly
how the lands were disposed OF In de-
tail. In consequence. lax execution OF
the laws became the rule both In the land
Office and i'm the public mind. and land
frauds were common and little noted.
This was especially true when system
originally designed for the fertile and
well-watcred regions OF the middle west
was applied to the dryer regions OF the
great plains and TO the mountains and
the Pacific coast. In these regions the
system lent itself TO fraud, and much
land passed out of the hands Of the gov

wore the chaps to dinner, afterwards
commenting to lady friend that she
really felt quite shocked at first over
some of the western customs, but was
getting used to them. And yet that
young lady did not realize that she was
being madet to doc good many fool things
and led to believe her impression of the
west, gathered in some eastern draw

ment of bunch Of cowpunchers. Such
stunts are so common among the people

The forestry department, after due
consideration, have come forward with
the proposition to ranchmen in sections
adjoining the forest reserves, where
fencing seems imperative, that the gov
eminent will furnish posts, barbed wire
and staples and the ranchman is to dig
the holes and build the fence. The posts
are also to be cut by the ranchman, only
the government will charge nothing for
the timber, and the wire aud staples are
to be laid down free at the nearest rail
road station At the first blush one
wonders hew Mr. Pinchot can allow of
such generosity but on second thought
there is suspicion that maybe Clifford
is guying the ranchmen a trifie. The
fact that the reserves. or certain parts
of them at least, must be fenced or be a
source of endless trouble, has penetrat-
ed the brains of the head foresters. and
the scheme now is to get the work done
with as little expense to the government
as possible 1t is no more than fair for
the ranchmeu to meet the government
half way in all these questions, but the
forestery department has way of putt
ing the half way mark right along its
front door. The ranchmen have plenty
of work to do without helping the de

NOW HAVE PRESS AGENTS.
Valuable Addition to Staff of Depart
ment Heads.

An entirely new feature in the big
government machine in Washington,
the departmental press agent, has
come into existence in the last few
years. 1t is growing. The reclama-
ton service, which has charge of gi-
gantic federal irrigation projects in
the West, was the pioneer.
When this work was undertaken it's
vast importance and the millions to
be expended made it of national inter-
est. But the nature of the work, the
language of it and all the details were
brand-new. Director Newell was ov-
erwheimed by Washington correspond
ents and others seeking information.
1t was hard to find time to do any
work. In desperation, after many con-
ferenees on the subject, he solved the
the problem by giving newspaper
man an appointment and making him
publicity agent. 1t worked well for all
concerned.
Clifford Pinchot followed by placing
press agent, former newspaper
writer, in the forestry bureau for the
diffusion of useful information. The
agricultural department is thinking OF
getting a press agent to exploit its
work in intelligent fashion, and the
postoffice department is experiment
ing with copy" telling about depart.

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea OF the Sound TO 80
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon. who recently
passed away, was universally respect.
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with a great deal of interest:
When a very small boy he asked MS
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went. with the
promise that when he returned ne
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by a tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble ana MIS-
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
of the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned ne
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator, l
make a motion that we remove the
sound from under the board. ="

Her in Brilliant Company.

rides beautifully. She used to have

Miss Roosevelt she has blocded
mare, Lady Dancer, on which she
often takes canter in the afternoon.
She can skate as well as ride, and
likes tennis immensely.
If Miss Roosevelt makes her debut
at the White House, which all feel
is only fair tb her, she won't be with
out experience. She has played the
hostess many times before. In the
winter there are many parties at the
White House for young girls and
youths of her age, and Miss Ethel
always receives her guests as to the
manner born.
Such is the new Miss Roosevelt
If she has the same good fortune
as her elder sister, she may make her
first public bow next winter. She
will be II then, just the age of Mrs.
Longworth when, as Miss Alice, She
came to New York and christened
the kaiser's Meteor.
If Miss Roosevelt does come out,
she will be in brilliant company
of buds and bellies, for Washington is
alive with them. For example, there
is Miss Marguerite Shonts, daughter
of the engineer of the Panama canal
and Miss Williams, and Miss Frances
