SIMPLIFY HOMESEEKING
IN NATIONAL RESERVES
NEW GOVERNMENT FORM MAKES
FILING EASY
Intending Settlers Will Not Experience
Former Difficulties In Describ-
ing Lands They Intend
to Take Up

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-That the APP
plication for listing of agricultural lands
in national forests may be as easy and
simple as possible for the home seeker,
the forest service has issued a blank form
which is expected to prove of much bene-
fit to those applying for land under the
act of June II, 1905.
Intending settlers were formerly told
that no set form OF application was neces-
sary, but that they should describe the
land accurately In letetr to the for
ester. In attempting to comply with
these instructions applicants would fire.
quently omit some very necessary facts
and sometimes the descriptions of the
lands were so indefinite that an examina-
ton was not warranted because forest
officers would not have been able to To-
cate the claim from the description
New Form Simple
The new form Is very simple and will
assist persons as much as possible in or
der to avoid the necessity of return OF
application because Of indefinite de-
scriptions. 1t is a two-sheet folder, with
the first page reserved for the applica-
ton, the second and third for the forest
service regulations under the act and
the amendments. On the back of the
form is a township map WHICH VIII mahe
it easy to make an accurate location of
the claim.
Applicants who will fill out this form
will avoid delay in the examination of the
land they wish to enter. They may be
obtained either from the supervisors of
the various national forests or upon ap-
plication to the forester, Washington,
d. C.
Work of examining lands for which ap-
plications have already been made is
progressing rapidly in all the national
forests and all OF the APPLICATIONS now of
record will be acted on during the next
two months. When national forests are
created agricultural lands are carefully
excluded from the boundaries, but 1t is
impossible to cut out small patches of
agricultural lands and these areas are
opened to settlement under the act OF
June II, 1906.

THREE THOUSAND QUIT WORK
Commercial Teleersphers Employed in
 New York City Strike.

New York, Aug.-At 1 o'clock Mon- day the operators in the main office of the Western Union here went out There had been rumors that such move was in contemplation, but up to few minutes before 1 o'clock there were no signs of the intended action. At exactly l o'clock a shrill whistle was sounded through the big operat- ing room, and practically every man left his desk. As the men left the building they were chcered by other operators who had gathered in Dey street. The cheering soon attracted the passersby on Broadway, and in few minutes large crowd had gather ed. There was no disorder, however. and the police of the trafic squad soon put the sightseers in motion. A few minutes after the strike while the po- lice were clearing the sidewalks around the Western Union building. one man disputed the right of the pe- lice to compel him to move on and he was arrested.
 Seeretary-Treasurer McInenery of the local Photographers Union said that the local men had walked out without any order from the union offi- cers, and that they took the matter in their own hands in going out. He said the officers of the union though. would stand by the strikers in their action.
 Secretary McInenery said that the feeling of the men was strong against the company, but that the local union officers had done all they could to prevent the men going out. He said;
 The officers regret the action of the men going out at this time. We did all we could to restrain them, but they were simply goaded into going ont. The last straw that broke the camel's back came, when three men who had been discharged last week for declining to work wires on which stfikebreakers were employed, went 10 the main office of the Western Un- ion to get their time They were told by one of the chief operators to get out of the office, and the men ac= eompanied the ejectment with abusive language. The fault is with the com pany. for we have done all we could to prevent this trouble. The local union will stand by the men.
 Secretary McInenery said the local union was well provided with funds and that the Order of Railway fele- graphers had assured the local union that they would aid them in finan- cial way
