GET NEW OFFICES READY.
Board of Education Building May
Be Finished January I.

The new office and storage building of the De-
nartment of Education, which is in the course
of erection in Livingston street, between Smith
street and Red Hook Lane will be ready for oc-
cupancy Iii part at least by the first of the
year-if all goes we'll Unfortunately, things
have never been known to go well with build
ngs of the department SO it is likely that the
opening will be delayed.
The structure is of six Stories in the modern
French Renaissance style, and is built of brick
and limestone with concrete, fireproof floors.
It is L-shaped and covers in all site of 1900
square feet formerly occupied by the old build
ings Of the department.
Charles II. Peckworth, the builder, began
tearing down the old buildings in November,
1906 He contracted to put up the new struct-
periuteudent of the Department of Education,
who devised the plans, wished at first to build
it of concrete, but contractor could not be
found who was willing to live up to the speci-
fications in doing the work, SO the plans were
revised and brick and stone substituted.
The building is fireproof throughout. This is
absolutely essential as $4,000 square feet of the
five lower floors will be occupied by school fur
nishiugs of an infiammable nature. The Win
dows are all provided with steel shutters. aud
there is a tank on the roof which will hold 10
cubic feet of water This water supply Will
run through pipes to sprinklers in all the stor-
age rooms and can be utilized the moment q fire
breaks out.

The Rocky Mountain News reviews
the trouble between the cattlemen and
forestry officials in the following
manner:
Chief Clifford Pinchot of the bureau
of forestry at Washington is about to
apply to the federal courts for an in
junction restraining all stockmen in
Colorado from permitting their cattle
to Craze upon forest reserves without
permits. Should these proceedings
be successful the stockmen would be
forced to pay fees for the permits or
keep their cattle fenced or close
herded. In the event of their failing
to comply they would have the
whole machinery of the government
working against them and would be
placed in Jail.
The action of the cattlemen in
western Colorado in signing an agree
ment to pay no more fees for grazing
on forest reserves is likely to prove
contagious despite Pinchot's plan.
Stock organizations over the state are
arranging for meetings to take SINH
flar action and the national forest SER
vice is up against a hard proposition.
The forest service has been acting
under the permission given the Sec
retary of agriculture by congress to
make rates and regulations for the
protection and government of the re-
serves. One of the regulations made
was to charge fee for grazing.
Another regulation was to make II
a criminal offense for a stockman to
permit his animals to Craze upon a
reserve without permission. Recent
decisions of the federal courts have
been to the effect that the secretary
OF agriculture has no right to make
It criminal offense for livestock to
Craze without permit on reserve.
The stockmen take the position that
the fee charged for grazing is in ef
| feet a tax and that the secretary has
no authority to levy or collect such
tax.
AS the matter now stands the only
recourse the forest service has is to
bring suit against the owner of stock
found in a reserve for damages. IT
will be necessary to prove the damage
done to the reserve.
Under the state law, cattle drifting
upon unfenced land does not consti-
| tute trespass. The stockmen take the
| position that the government is in
the same position as private land own
ers and must either fence the re-
serves or permit their use by drifting
cattle
