P|NCHO1 FOR CABINET?
Rumor in Washington Has
Forester Slated For Secre-
tary OF Agriculture
is A CLOSE FRIEND OF Mr.. TAFT
Pinchot Has Done Great Work in Or
sanizine Forestry Service and Max
ing 1t Popular With the People
West Still Opposed to His Reserve
PIans-state Reserves Proposed.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington. Aug. 1S.-There is con-
siderable evidence that Clifford Pin
chot, chief forester. rather has in
mind that he may not continue in that
position under the next administra-
ton. Some activities at his big bureau
have been construed by observers, in
side and outside, as indicating so
much.
If Mr.. Pinchot doesn't remain in his
present position under q Taft admin
istration. it will be because he will be-
come Il cabinet member. This is the
universal belief at least, based on the
fact that he is only a/fess intimate
friend of Mr.. Taft than Of the presi-
dent, and that the latter has long been
tunity should present. to make Mr..
Pinchot one of the cabinet family Such
promotion would mean that he
would become secretary of agriculture
Pinchot Was Misunderstood.
Mr.. Pinchot Is the real father Of
government forestry in this country.
and on that subject he has been tire
lessly industrious and inexhaustibly
enthusiastic. For long time he was
misunderstood and widely regarded as
a crank. The fact that he is a wealthy
man has even occasion for suspicion
that he was a mere faddist and could
not possibly have an intelligent notion
of what he was trying to do. But
as time passed and his work made
progress, and people came to under
stand what he was doing for them, and
the pressing necessity that 1t be done,
the situation shifted, and today 1t may
be doubted If there is any enterprise
of the government which is more pop
ular with the vast body of people than
Che work of the forestry bureau. Mr..
Pinchot has come into his vindication.
Representatives and senators who at
one time set about a crusade against
him and his bureau have about given

from the country. and found the friends

president stood squarely back of Mr..
Pinchot, and between the presidents
strength and the solid popular belief
in the forestry work it was useless
to keep the fight going. The west
ern senator's who tried desperately
to ham string the bureau of forestry.
and who made earnest appeal TO the
east awoke at last to the fact that
the east and south, instead of being
willing to synpathize with them, were
themselves anxious to get in for some
of the forestry work. New England
wanted a reserve in the White Moun-
tains. and the south was unit for the
great southern Appalachian reserve
project.
AS a result of his long fight Mr..
Pinchot has his work organized and

CATTLE TRADE SLOW
Range Stuff Weak, With Prices
Twenty five Lower Than
Last Week
SLIGHT STRENGTH IN HOGS
SLIGHT STRENGTH IN HOGS
Markets Firmness Not Sufficient
However, to Lift Values Above the
Average of the Previous Day-Good
Shipping Hogs scrace-sheep and
Lambs Steady, But Not Active.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Cattle trade was
very slow. Offerings of butcher stuff
Were light but there was little hope
that this branch would close with Il
strong tone. Range stuff was weak,
with prices 25 cents lower than last
week. Native steers, however, have
suffered very little in comparison.
Hogs.
The market showed little strength,
but this tirmness was not enough to
lift values above the average of the
previous day. There was a scarcity
of good shipping hogs.
A provision expert says: During
the past week provisions have had a
very seasonable decline and the whole
market is in much better merchan-
dising position. Pork was artiticially
high, but there are enough shorts in
the market now to make a fairly
steady condition and at a good dis
count under January the September
and October will be taken care of in
Il natural way by packers and ware
housemen on a carrying basis. Lard
is now in a position to respond very
quickly to the long expected Euro
pean Indispensable demand. Cotton
conditions in the southern states make
it imperative that the demand from
that quarter will be on a large scale
as other cuts of side meats are be-
ing used up rapidly and the ribs
at Chicago are of desirable averages
and stocks at other points are not
large and the trade must come here
during September and October for the
absolutely necessary bacon for fall
uses. We look for a let up IN hogs
as compared to recent receipts which
will help the whole list. We advise
the purchase of october and January
lard and October ribs
Sheep
Both sheep and lambs were without
activity and prices were about steady.
Altho the demand is fairly good
shippers should not flood the mar
ket with liberal receipts on later days
of the week. as prices will go lower
if supplies are large.

view to a permanent settlement there
II things are to his liking.
Paul Kissock has just moved out
of the w. II. Hayes property, and now
occupies the w. I'll. Shahan property.
Mr.. Happy, heretofore one of the
force of the Herald office, has vacated
the S. s. Morse property on First
avenue and moved with his family to
Marengo.
The best game of the season. by the
Twilight League" of the city, was
played last evening between the
Clothiers and the Firemen, in which, in
five full innings, neither side scored.
The game was fast and clean from
start to finish. Errors We're too few to
be mentioned, on either side. The
pitching was mostly fine, with less
than half a dozen hits for both sides.
McDermott's catch of a. long fly was
particularly good in one such case,
when q score would otherwise have
been inevitable. AS this was a contest
between the two leading teams, 1T at
tracted an unusually large crowd and
because the Clothiers have maintained
a steady lead from the beginning OF
the league playing, the Firemen very
evidently had the sympathy of the
rooters. The game closed with the
fifth inning, because it was so agreed
too dark to see the ball clearly. An
other game to settle the championship
will be played on Friday evening OF
this week Patton and Rinefort formed
the battery for the Clothiers as usual,
and Waite and Wilson for the Fire
men, with III. J.. Boyer as umpire.
Professor and Mrs. Rusk, who were
recently married in Whittier, Cal, ar
rived in this city yesterday morning,
and were cordially welcomed by their
many friends.
Mrs. S. A. Cravath is entertaining
her niece, Miss Belle Raley, of Calu-
met, Mich.
Another meeting has been called for
tonight at o'clock, at the city hall,
to get further action by the "Grinnell
Retail Merchants and Manufacturers
association" and citizens in general, In
the matter of completing the arrange
ments for installing the manufacturing
plant for the Speed washing machine.
Stock has already been generously TAX
en- and it is hoped that the preliminar-
les may be completely closed tonight.
The r. r. Rust drug store has been
closed, pending the hearing In bank
ruptcy on the cath, and f. w. Thack-
cry has been appointed temporary re-
ceiver.
John Flock and family, and A. D.
Talbot and family started recently on
an automobile trip to West Liberty,
where they will visit for few days
wiz Mr.. Talbott's sister. and then pro-
coed to Davenport for the rest of their
vacation outing.
J. ]. Brownell has given up his job
as night guardian of the peace in this
city. to become the proprietor of the
shooting gallery on Commercial street
and w. M Pilgrim returns again to
the position of night Waterman, which
he occupied some time satisfactorily
before the advent Of Mr.. Brownell.
DR.. o. F. Parish, while ten miles
from home on country road on Sun

will be given careful attention; each
Headquarters will have its own COM
plete accounting service.
When these headquarters are estab-
lished the bureau will have been at
least placed in the ideal permanent
form Mr.. Pinchot has long desired. The
locations Of the district offices are not

Ogden are both candidates for the Sc

The possibility of Il change OF ma
tional administration is understood to

Wilson and Forester Pinchot would be
given opportunity to remain in their
present posts. Mr. Bryan admires both
of them and knows their work
