MAY PUT NAME OF DAVIS
BACK ON FAMOUS BRIDGE

w HEN Franklin Pierce was pres
w ident of the United States his sec
retary of war was Jefferson Davis, aft
erward president of the Confederate
States of America.
During the Pierce administration
the government improved the Dis
trict Of Columbia in many ways. One
of the public utilities was the Wash
ington aqueduct, famous in legend as
the Cabin John bridge.
This big stone archway was, at
the time of its construction, the
largest bridge of masonry In the
world. 1t was over 220 feet long and
its arch over so feet high.
The bridge was not completed un.
I'll Lincoln's administration, and as
1t was erected under the supervision
OF the war department, a stone tablet
was inserted in the masonry bearing
the names of the presidents and secre-
taries of war who had to do with
the work. OF course, Jefferson
Davis name appears with the rest.

these houses is simple as may be
seen in the third Illustration. Rela-
tive to the detailed construction the
bulletin says:
The floor is built, first, with 2 by
AS as stringers, and the frame Is held
on the floor by blocks at each corner.
The large-sized house is provided with
two doors, in front, and a temporary
movable portion in the middle, so
that the cot can easily be adjusted
to accommodate two lots of swine at
the same time. On a level with the
glass windows there is also drop
window, preferably hung on hinges,
fastened at the top for ventilation and
sunlight.
The lumber required for the large
house. feet wide and 10 feet long,
including floor, is as follows:
Twenty pieces, inches by inches,
10 feet long, for frame and string

Two pieces, inches by inches,

the time of the first settlement of the
country this has been one of the great
est sources OF loss to the rancher and
farmer The country is not suited TO
cultivation. and always furnished ref
uge to cougars, wolves, and other AMI
mails of their class. Now that the gov
ernment has undertaken the admins
tration of land of this character active
work has been started to exterminate
such animals.
1T is part of forest rangers duty
to hunt predatory animals, and with
the addition of skilled hunters the
force, whose business is to hunt. ex-
cellent results are expected
"The appointment in the Dixie ma
tional forest was made directly in re-
sponse to a petition to the forester by
the citizens of Pine valley. Conditions
there are so bad farmers are afraid to
allow their children to go after the
milch cows in the evening and the
losses from stock killed were heavy"
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1907-11-07

When the war of the rebellion be-
gan, and the erstwhile secretary of
war became the executive head Of the
confederacy, the name of Jefferson
Davis was chiseled off this tablet,
and to-day glaring blank occupies
the space.
AS sectional prejudice has disap-
peared, this little expression of anil
mostly has been regretted by many
who approved and who might have
cheered the deed at the time of its
commission. More than once replac,
ing the name has been suggested.
A few days ago the president re.
ceived letter on the subject from
Walter p, Phillips Of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, and this document he referred
to the war department.
This is the first time the agitation
has been put into any definite and
official form, and it is believed steps
may soon be taken to restore the
tablet to something resembling its
former self.

GOVERNMENT OPENS WAR
ON PREDATORY ANIMALS

WI - The government
w has obtained an official hunter"
not mere mollycoddle of an octopus
slayer or a special commissioner who
seeks the money devil in his sky
scraper lair, but the genuine, pure ar
tcle, who will so around with a real
gun with the intention of killing big
game at so much per, to be paid for
out of Uuncle SANS treasury. He is
j. M. Moody, and the appointment,
which was made by the United States
forest service, took effect on July l..
when the official nimrod assumed his
duties in the Dixie national forest in
Utah.
The appointment, according to a
statement made by the forest service,
'has greater significance than appears
on the surface" To this explanation
IS added that ut is a fulfillment of the
promise of the forest service to do
something to help settlers all over the
west to lessen the losses they have
suffered from predatory animals"
