FOREST SERVICE NEWS
Weekly Compendium of Events Con- nected With the National Forest
 Reserves of Arizona.

A number of sheep were recent ly poisoned by eating choke cherry leaves while passing through the Manti National Forest in Utah. Forest officers are cooperating with stockmen to eradicate the cherry as it's leaves contain prusic acid.
 The following Forest Assistants were added to J. H. Alliscn's tim Der estimating crew last week from the Washington office: Max Roth kugel. Joseph A. Fitzwater. Hugh c. Calkins. Henry Haefner. John LaFon. a lumber man has also joined this crew for the summer.
 The Forest Service desires to re- duce the area of the average admin istrative units to approximately 1000, 900 acres. This was not pos sible in all cases. as. is shown by the fact that under the plan of re- distriting there will be IA Su- pervisors in the United States who vii administer more than 1000, 900 acres of National Forest area.
 Relative to the improvement of range, the Forest Service furnishes the following information:
 ''The range has deteriorated un- der unrestricted use. and SC the government is making investiga- tions under the direction of Mir. F. V. Coville, Botanist. Bureau of Plant Industry. Department of Az riculture, with view to reseeding with better grass. Again, poison ous plants are often destructive to livestock. and in this case Dr. c. D. Marsh, of the Bureau of Plant Industry. is conducting study to detect poisonous plants and suggest means of eradieating them. There are also heavy losses from preda- tory animals. but government hunters and trappers are busy re ducing the number O f mountain lions and timber wolves. which do most o the damage. Finally. there is the insignificant prairie dog. which selects h e choicest grassy bottoms for it's operations. stl ips them to the soil. and ploughs up the ground for it's burrows. They have gone after the prairie dog now. however. and hy the use of effective poison will soon put an end to this pest.

The Orange Tree.

The orange Is the longest lived fruit tree. It begins to bear the third year after budding, and for 100 years 1t will yield abundant crops. Orange trees have been known to attain the ripe age of 300. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. It's early growth is rapid. In the first two years 1t grows more than 1t will in the next fifty. This refers of course to it's height and breadth alone Its fruit stems and consequently its crops increase more rapidly after the first ten years.

Will Put More 'omcers Into Field

In order to expedite and render more effective and economical the work of administering the National Forests field headquarters are to be established by the Forest service in the west, and the clerical force needed to- complete the organiza- tion will be mainly drawn from the force now employed in the Wash ington office. The change will take place not later than January |. 1909, and will probably begin by October l of the present year.
 At present the National Forests are grouped under six districts with headquarters as follows: District I. Missoula. Montana; District 2, Denver. Colorado; District 3. AL buquerque, New Mexico; District 4, Salt Lake City, Utah; Disrtict 5. San Francisco. California. and District 6, Portland, Oregon. These headquarters will remain un- changed under the new plan of ad- ministration. Each district will be in charge of an assistant forestet who will deal directly with the su- pervisors of the forests of his dis trict. Only question of special i'm portance will be submitted to the Washington office for action. In this way. regular business of the foresters will be much expedited, while the men who have charge of the business will be in almost con stant touch with the users of the forests. The men to take charge of the several districts have not as yet been selected, but they will be chosen from those in the regular service force who have most exper- fence in the work of the national forests,

LITTLE CHANGE IN WHITE sox
Most of the Old Veterans Will Be on
the Firing Line in April.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 31.-President
Comiskey of the White Sox will re-
turn today with the party of MINI
rods he took to the Wisconsin wilds
two weeks ago. With the return of
the big chief something soon will be
made known concerning the American
leaguer's plan for next season. The
details of arranging the training trip
to the Pacific coast will be taken up
right away and dates scheduled.
Although the White Sox have some
promising material coming, it is prob
able that the team will line up for Its
opening game next April with
veterans in their old places. There
doubtless will be a few changes, but
for the most part the team will
closely resemble the team of the past
few seasons.
In all probability "Jiggs" Donohue
will be back at first, with ISben COW
ering second base in place of George
Davis. Davis couldn't cover much
ground last season. The number of
base hits that whizzed past him and
the kind he used to simply eat up was
something awful.
While Walsh, White and Smith will
again form the foundation of the
pitching staff and do most of the
work, it is possible that one of the
raft of recruits may show big league
pitching form. Or it is possible that
Nick Altrock may come back to 1905
form Undoubtedly lot of the dead
wood will be cut out.

TWO BIG GAMES FOR GOTHAM.
Georgetown and Dartmouth to Play
in New York.

New York, Oct. 31.-New York
will get its only real taste of football
this fall next week. This will be the
game between Fordham and George
town at American league park on
election day, Tuesday, November 8,
and the Saturday game at the Polo
grounds between Princeton and
Dartm outh.
This game promises to be the real
big event of the year, as Dartmouth
has always been a thorn in the side
of Princeton. and the little team from
New Hampshire has been making
good record SO far this season. The
same cannot be said of Princeton
Fordham has come to the front
rapidly this year. their defeat of Am
herst and the good showing against
Princeton giving them great prestige
for minor school. Georgetown has
one of the strongest teams in years,
and the battle between the two on
election day is sure to be hard one.

Thursday evening. There was no fric-

the council has ungrudgingly and with
dispatch granted the franchise asked for

that the latter will be able to bring their
project to successful contamination.
Outside of the thickly populated sec

for paying interurban enterprise, and
when line is finally built we predict
that it will not lack patronage.
