REDUCTION OF
GRAZING CHARGES
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot Modi-
fies Rates For Pasturinn Sheep
on National Forests

Washington, Oct. 23.-Following a
statement made year ago at a meet
ing of the National Wool Growers as
sociation in Salt Lake, Clifford Pinchot,
forester, and A. f. Potter, in charge
of grazing on National Forests. have
announced a reduction of 10 to Is per
cent in rates for sheep grazing on
National Forests to take effect for the
coming season. Changes in market
conditions which have made the sheep
business less profitable this year, es-
pecially the greatly reduced prices Of
fered for wool and the depreciation in
the value of mutton, are partly re-
sponsible for this reduction.
In 1897, when promises for reduc-
ed schedule were made, it was with
the understanding between the stock
men and the forest service, that graz
ing rates would not be changed for
minor fluctuations in the market which
would naturally occur from year to
year. but would apply only in case OF
radical or unusual changes. The new
schedule does not affect the cases
where the minimum charge OF cents
a head has already been allowed or
no rate has been fled on account OF
some local conditions. In most cases
the revised fees will mean a reduc'
ton of about / cent per head.
In fixing rates for grazing of differ
ent kinds of stock on forest growth
demand for use of the range by own
ers of different kinds of stock. needs
Of homesteaders and profits of bust
ness have been taken into considera
ton.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME;
CONSUMES FAMILY FORTUNE

Bernalillo, N. M. Oct. 23.-While
Mr. and Mrs. D. Lisse, respected res
idents of this place. were at neigh
boris, one of their three young chill
dren, who were left alone in the house,
threw lighted match into the wood
box. The children, too young to know
their danger, gleefully watched the
flames spread and but for the pres
ence of mind of Tomas Sandoval. a
blacksmith, whose shop was nearby,
would have been cremated. Mr. Sand
oval noticed smoke issuing from
the doors and windows of the Lisse
home and hastened to the scene He
arrived just in time to save the lives
of the children. The house was en-
tirely consumed together with over
$500 in money. which was contained
in a trunk and represented the entire
savings of the family for several
years. Only a 500 gold piece was
found intact. of what represented a
small-sized fortune. Mr.. Lisse is a
small fruit grower and public sympa-
thy is with him. A subscription has
been started by his neighbors to raise
money enough to rebuild his house,
the family being practically destitute
as a result Of the fire.

SANTA FE BOYS
BAG TWO DEER
FernIey Wiley and Robert Harvey
Kin Fine Bucks on the Dalton
Divide.

Two Santa Fe boys. Fernley Wiley
and Robert Harvey. have carried off
the first big honors of the hunting
season in this city, by killing two deer
in the mountains east of here.
Wednesday, while hunting on the
Dalton divide. twelve miles east of
the city, Fernley Wiley killed full
grown buck which had five points on
its antlers. Wiley brought the deer
down with a shot from a Springfield
army rifle at close range. He packed
the carcass on horse and brought it
to this city.
Yesterday, Robert Harvey and
George Marsh, while hunting in the
same vicinity, sighted several deer.
Harvey managed to get a bead on one
with his rifle and brought it down
with one shot. 1t was also a buck and
had six points on its antlers. He
brought it home last evening.
Both boys were today distributing
venison to their friends as proof of
their skill as nimrods. They report
deer more plentiful in that section
than in several years. On account of
the deep snow in the mountains. the
deer have been forced to come from
cover in order to get something to
eat.
The boys also report having seen
several large flocks of wild turkeys.
As result Of the success of Wiley
and Harvey, party of Santa Fe nim-
rods are preparing to go on a several
days hunt in that vicinity.

CLEVELAND LOSES
STREET RAILWAY
People Vote to Turn System Over to
Original Company-MunicipaI
Service Unsatisfactory.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 23.-Complete
returns in the referendum election
yesterday show that the so-called Sc
curity Street Railway franchise was
defeated by the narrow margin of COS
votes out of a total of 1888 votes
cast. AS a result the entire street
railway system of the city reverts to
the Cleveland Railway company. The
defeat was doubtless caused by the
unsatisfactory service of the Munich
pal company, holding company which
operated on a thrae-cent fare basis.
The rate of the Cleveland Railway
company will not be announced until
after the directors meeting which was
expected to be held today.
