Planting Forests.

The rangers on the three forests
lately combined under the name of
the "Garces" national forest, COW
ering a number Of thousands of
acres in Santa Cruz and Cochise
counties, and a part of Pima coun-
ty, have been active of late in
gathering the seed of the several
species of pine and other trees in
this section.
r. g. Wilson, the supervisor,
states there has been lately col
leLted from this forest about 150,-
900 seeds, or an equivalent of 10
pounds, OF the Arizona long leaf
pine and an equal quantity of the
seed Of the Chihuahua pine, which
will be shortly forwarded to Wash
inglon for use in the experimental
nurseries maintained by The forest
service for testing of such seed and
raising of young trees for reforest-
ing purposes.
Mr.. Wilson also states that a
hundred pounds of the seed
of the Emory oak have lately
heen planted in several places on
his forest, the method used being
the broadcast scattering of the seed
on the hill>ides and places most
suitable for It's growth.
In this way, by allowing nature
to superintend the raising of the
Young trees the matter of the
future possibility of covering these
barren hillsides with valuable tim
her will thus be tried out in a
practical way, as the Young seed
llings will have to contend against
the enemies of its kind to he found
in its environment. such as grazing
stock, and will thus be able to
show whether it will be likely to
survive under the ordinary range
conditions. Should this test bear
vorable results the forest service
will go further in the expert
ment.

New National Bison Range In
Montana,
"a ontsns.

The bison range in the Flathead
Indian Reservation in Montana, to
establish which Congress ut It's last
session appropriated $4,000, has
been selected. The location Of the
range is the one recommended by
Prof. Morton j. Elrod. of the Uni
versily Of Montana. after he had
carefully examined several parts
of the country. 1t lies directly
north of the Jocko River near the
towns of Rtvalli and Jocko. Az.

cling the range and constructing
the shelter sheds and other build
ings necessary for the proper main
tenance aud care OF the bison. The
remaining $4,000 will be paid to
the owners OF the land, many of
whom are Indians. Funds for the
purchase of bison are being raised
under the auspices of the American
Bison Society, which was largely
Instrumental in securing the APP
propriatlon.
The first person to spend actual
money in the effort to preserve The
American bisun from total ex;iuc.
ton was the late Austin Corhin

5000 acres at Blue Mounlnin Park

rupted by expostulation from Farmer
John Kidd, ordering the conductor to
stop and help him remove his girl who
was clipping with L. H. Brown, the
livery and bus man of Cedar Point.
The alteration drew the entire car of
passengers about Papa Kidd and the
escaping lovers, and sympathy was
clearly with Lucy, voluptous, dark
haired, red-lipped beauty of about IL,
and her lover, young Brown, youth
of about the same age.
Miss Lucy had a ready tongue and
declared she was of age and had her
mothers permission to marry, both OF
which declarations Mr.. Kidd loudly de-
MED, and insisted on her immediate
return.
Conductor Stocton, after judicial in
Quiry, decided that as the young cou-
pie had tickets to Usage City they

opinion that met with the universal
approval of the passengers, with whom

GALL IN" SAYS TRAVIS.
The Veteran Golf Player Had Hard
Day Wednesday.

Garden City, L. L. Sept. 17.-With
the big field of contestants which
started in the amateur golf champion
ship, narrowed down until only eight
men survive, the play TODAY had re-
solved itself into a struggle between
the masters of the game. The four
winners today will fight it out tomor-
row until only two remain and the last
survivors will meet on Saturday for
the championship. Particular inter-
est was given to the contests of today
because of the fact that Thomas S.
Sherman of Utica, son of the Repub-
lican candidate for the vice presidency
was to meet the veteran former cham
pion. Walter J. Travis Travis had to
play a pretty stiff game yesterday to
qualify. but his cool steadiness stood
him in good stead and enabled him
to win out after five extra holes had
been played At the end, however,
the veteran declared that the strain
of the match had completely worn him
out.
I'm all in" said Travis. as he toiled
back to the club house after the con-
clusion of the long game.
whoever meets me next Will win
and I don't care much"
Foxy Grandpa" commented young
Sherman who had overheard the re-
mark and who knew that he was to
match his skill against that of the
veteran today. But he doesn't per-
suade me that the match is a snap"
